Sorry if this has been asked before but i honestly don't know the answer. Can you leave the US once you have your 2 year Green Card? I would like to go home back to Canada for Christmas but not sure if i am able. I would think it would be ok but i have no clue.I thought i read somewhere that you couldn't with the conditional Green Card.

Thanks!

Yes, you can travel outside the US and return with your green card. It's the same as the 10 yr card, just has a shorter expiration date.

Conditions do not pertain to travel. It's about validating the marriage.

You have full rights of an LPR.

A "conditional" green card is valid for two years. It's given to people who are married less than 2 years by the time their LPR status is granted and to new investors. Other than the shorter validity date, it's the same as a 10-year Green Card. Its holder can travel freely as long as he/she keeps their residence in the US.

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.

Hi

Sure, you can travel outside US with your CR. The holder of this card, are Legal permanent Residents, and the terms of this conditional are base only in the validity of your marriage. So you are granted to come into US all the times you need
