Travel before GC expiration

[sccrsurfer 2]

Looking to travel 1 month before my 2 year GC expires.  I have not yet filed for removal of conditions because we've been incredibly busy (moving, new work, etc..) but I plan to immediately after we return.  We would return 3 weeks before the GC expires.  Is there any issue with this?  I know with Passports for instance, you can't travel to certain countries if expires within 6 months.  Is there a similar rule for Green Cards?

You will be fine as long as you return before GC expires.

Filing the ROC package takes time to organiza. Personally I would not wait til you return to get the package ready.  Even the best laid plans fail.  I began preparing our package early June to file on the 21st. but didn't send it til July 5th due to not getting some documents (not all docs  were available electronically and some had to be requested and sent via mail) then scanned (and photocopied) and then I forgot to include some documents and finally I  noticed silly mistakes during proofing it.  So my advice is to get everything ready or as much as you can now (eg those that don't require date and time stamps like personal evidence of you being a couple, previous tax returns, bank statements, etc) so all your left with when you return are collecting the most recent docs.  Assembling the package took more time than I expected due to not really knowing its size. 

 

If you note from other threads some filers have sent in 4 inches worth of documents, others only 1.  Either way, there is no way possible to send it a substantial package that opts you out of a RFI without being super organized.  

 

If you haven't begun the process yet, best not to underestimate and plan ahead.  A good start is begin reading the threads.  Here's a good one to start with
