I got my CR-1 green card last May 2007, my husband and I are planning to go back in the Philippines this March to have our church wedding since we only have a civil marriage in May 2006. We will be staying in Manila for only 3 weeks. Am I free to leave USA with just my green card or do I need to go to immigration office and inform that I will be leaving the country? Do I need any other documents to be able to return without any problem?

Thanks in advance to those who will read and respond.

You will have no problem as long as you have the green card.

The only concern I see is the time you'll spent in Manila. Only 3 weeks? That might be too tight for a church wedding in the PI. Good luck!!
