Hi Ate!

If you have your green card already, you don't need the AP document to get back into the USA. All you need to return is your green card! You are already all set! No worry.....

Have a safe trip!

Hi there,

As long as you have a green card, you are FREE to go anywhere IN and OUT United States. (You only show your passport and green card to enter the US)

You do not need to get any TRAVEL documents, you only need the AP (travel document) only if you do not have the green card.

You don't have to apply for AP since you have your GC already unless you will be gone for a year then you will need to apply for re-entry permit. I just came back from the Philippines and all I presented were my passport and GC. Bring a copy of your marriage certificate if your passport is still in your maiden name. Have a safe trip!!! :thumbs:

Hello, When is your Green card will expired? And How long you will be in the Philippines? Because, you know it depends how long you will be outside of USA. Try to read about "
FORM I-131" Ok. Good luck!

I went home last May- Sept 2008 and my green card will expire this Sept 2009. As long as u don't stay for more than a year there and your green card is not expired when you travel you will be fine.
