I am a green card holder and plan to enter US in Jan, 2012 which is my first time of using green card to enter US. However, my china passport will expire within 6 months, (actually, it will expire in May, 2012). My concern is if this will bring me any trouble to enter US since when I am a student (F-1 visa holder), US custom does require a valid passport with a validation period longer than 6 months to enter Us. Many thanks for any help and information on that.

suggest you get another passport whilst in China - they are rather easy to get.

Good Luck !

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

You are confused like green frog sitting in water heating up.

If you are a Green Card holder, your passport needs to be valid on the day you enter the U.S. You are not visiting, and you are also not a F-1 visa holder anymore. Did I mention you are confused? The moment you became a lawful permanent resident, you started "coming home" when entering the U.S.

Any other problems I can help you with?

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.
