Hi everyone,

we did direct consular filing from El Salvador and my husband and I entered the US on a CR1 visa in February. His Visa expired, but he wants to go home for the holidays. He has a green card and we wonder if that and the stamp I 551 will be enough for re entry.

What will he need to re enter the US? I am concerned that he will have problems coming back. Thanks for your help.

If he has a green card.. this means he need not worry about visas.. he's done.. he's free to move about.

Thanks to everyone for their replies! It is a huge relief. I didn't want him to be stuck on the other side again! There are so many mistakes one can make in this bureocratic mess and the laws are always changing so I was a bit worried. I am so glad to hear it is so simple!
