Hello All!

I'm back here again to seek some advises and answers.

Me and my hubby are currently planning for our Caribbean cruise this coming mid-October.

I was thinking that since I had my GC, am I allowed to travel outside the US?

We also thought of visiting my cousin who is at New Zealand by the end of October.

Since I am not a USC yet, do I need a visa in going there?

Hope to hear from all of you guys!

Your replies will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You're allowed to travel (the PR/Green Card let's you re-enter the US).

I don't believe you'll need a visa to travel to the Caribbean Islands but you will need a visitor visa for New Zealand.

Just thought I would relay an experence that some friends of ours had on the 2nd year anniversary. they were planning a trip to Italy and his wife had her green card so they called the Italian Embassy in america and ask if she need a visa to travel there and was told no visa need. they got on the plane and flew to Italy to be turned away at immigration. So they flew back to america and went to lake tahoe instead. But they wasted thier time and money in plane fare. If someone says you don't need a visa then get in writing.

Perhaps your friends didn't mention the green card?

USC's do not need a visa to visit Italy (Schengen agreement) - but LPR's need a visa. (as per the US State department website)

A lot of USC's/LPR's think a GC allows the same rights outside of the US as an USC, which isn't always the case.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS
