My husband is returning home next week for a visit with his family. He received his green card the end of June 2011. Are there any potential issues he should be concerned about with re-entry to the US? What travel documents do you advise he brings? And when he returns does he use the US residence line? (I had to asked)

Thanks :)

GC and valid passport,

of course, it's the best feeling in the world when the officer stamps the passport and says welcome back.

He'll already have his green card, that's what he needs to re-enter the US. Call CBP and ask if he can use the US Resident line.

Every airport is different. Just read the signs and follow them. Some put all US residents together, others separate out US citizens from green card holders.
