Traveling as Green Card Holder

[orzxela 0]

Hello Everyone,

My wife has been a green card holder since March 2024 when we entered on CR1 (consulate processing). 

 

We have filed for I-751 and have received a 48 month extension letter.

 

Since obtaining and immigrating to the US we have been traveling quite often - mostly for work.

 

We attend a twice a year trade show for work (work together under my LLC) in Asia. Once in the spring and once in the fall. 

 

So we are out of the country for two months in the spring and two months in the fall as we visit and stay with her family in South Korea while we are in Asia. 

 

Usually we travel to a couple more countries while we are in Asia as we enjoy traveling as one of our hobbies.

 

Would this raise an issue with CPB if we are out of the country 4 months out of the year in this pattern? We do get a bit nervous everytime we return home to the US and are in line for immigration even though we know we should be able to pass through without much problems.

 

We currently do not have Global Entry so we are looking into applying if it makes things easier. Will also be filing for N400 later on in the year.

 

Any advice or insight would be appreciated! Thank you!

No.  Since you are not spending more than a year outside the US on any given trip, I see no issue.  Since you have no trips of 6 months lor longer, I see no issues.....

Just keep track of ALL your entry and return dates.....you will need them for the N-400.
