With a plane ticket, his passport, and his green card, go through airport security and board the plane. Stay away from danger in Iraq. Return to the US with the same items.

Your husband may need a visa, depending on where he is going. Having a green card is enough for travel to Mexico and Canada (and maybe some other places?), but if he needed a visa to visit other countries before he got his green card, he still needs it now.

My husband is now a LPR. What does he have to do to leave the country?

That is a very broad question. You mean he's planning on going on vacation in another country or his country of birth? If he's merely visiting family back home, he only needs his green card and passport to go home. If it's a 3rd country he may need a visa to visit. On another note, if he commits a crime, he will leave the country as well.

He wants to travel for a short time in Korea (where we met). Does he need to fill out anything before leaving?

As long as he has the necessary entry visa to Korea and it is a short visit, then he will be able to re-enter the US with his passport and green card.

Not needed unless he's staying away more than two years, in which case you should do a search on "returning resident visa". If he's staying out for more than 6 months there are some precautions he should take to maintain his permanent resident status. But if he's just leaving the US for a short (less than 6 month) vacation, there's nothing special he needs to do as far as US immigration is concerned. He'll use his passport and green card to re-enter. If he doesn't yet have the plastic card in hand, make sure he's got a stamp in his passport that indicates he's been admitted as an LPR.

when I traveled to Korea I had to get a visa. The best thing I recommend is to call the Korean Consulate nearest you and ask because some countries (doubtfully Iraq) have agreements that waive the visa requirement. The consulate will be able to tell you exactly what he needs if any.

South Korea, like many countries, consider your green card, but it is not treated as a US passport.

GC is enough for entering the US.

Citizens of Iraq REQUIRE a visa to visit canada.

Hmmm. I wonder why. :crying:

A lot of times Canada will consider your citizenship (although they are aware of your US residency status). However, you can visit the Canadian consulate website and look into it if you are interested.

LucyRich,

I thought you never make a mistake, as in not in a gazillion years. So it looks like you are not a supercomputer with typing capability, but a human after all!

There's no such thing as a re-entry visa. There's a reentry permit, and aside from casual terminology, that would be needed for absence of a year or more, not two years. Right, or wrong?

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
