Re-Entry into USA, while on conditional greencard

[Throwaway1515 2]

Hello, due to COVID restrictions there are rules around entering the USA.  

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-suspension-entry-immigrants-nonimmigrants-certain-additional-persons-pose-risk-transmitting-2019-novel-coronavirus/

 

At Section 2 (a)(i),  any lawful permanent resident of the United States is exempt from entry ban.

 

Wanted to confirm that my husband, with his two-year conditional greencard is considered a "lawful permeant resident"

 

Thanks!

Yes, your husband is a lawful permanent resident even with a conditional GC.

Thanks!

if he got a green card from USCIS - yes he is a lawful permanent resident

 

if he got it from somewhere else - than may be not

Ha!

Okay thanks for the responses.  I think what tripped me up is that one time I called the Global Entry program hotline to see if my husband was eligible, since also had the requirement of "lawful permeant resident" and the person had no idea.

Yes all permanent residents / US citizens /citizens of certain countries on a visa    are eligible for global entry.

I got GE when I was a conditional PR

• Green card holders can get GE as well as citizens of other countries even if it's just a B2.

that's normal.  But when you create  the trusted traveler account it does some screening for you.
