    LPR travel

    FROM CBP website:

    I am a lawful permanent resident of the U.S., can I leave the U.S. multiple times and return?

    If you are a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), you may leave the U.S. multiple times and reenter, as long as you do not intend to stay outside the U.S. for 1 year or more.

    If you intend to stay outside the U.S. for 1 year or more, you must apply for a re-entry permit with the U.S. Customs and Immigration Service (USCIS) prior to leaving the U.S. Re-entry permits are generally valid for 2 years from the date of issuance. Therefore, if you are outside of the U.S. longer than the date the permit was issued, you may be denied entry into the U.S.

    To apply for a re-entry permit, you must file an Application for a Travel Document (I-131) with the USCIS. If you applied for permanent resident status, but are not yet officially a lawful permanent resident "green card holder" and you need to leave the U.S. on emergency, you must apply for and receive advance parole to leave the U.S. by filing a I-131 with USCIS. Information on how to file the I-131 is available on the USCIS Website.

    If you are required to file documents prior to leaving the U.S., it is imperative that you do so, otherwise, you may be found inadmissible and denied reentry into the U.S.

    If you are a green card holder and you do not stay outside the U.S. for 1 year or more, you should have either your green card (INS Form I-551, or your returning resident SB-1 visa) to re-enter the United States. You are not required to present your unexpired passport, however it is not a bad idea to carry it with you.

    Presenting an expired greencard at the land border WILL cause a delay at entry.

    Non-contiguous travel does require a valid passport under all circumstances because you would be refused boarding.
