Pre information: My husband came here on a k1 visa. Now we are married. He now has his greencard for almost two years. We will soon file to removie conditions. His greencard is due to expire in late November I believe so we will file around September. Now getting to my question, we are planning a trip home to his country in may for three weeks. Will he have any problems leaving or coming back in on his current visa/greencard. I wouldnt think so. But do we need to file anything for him or do anything for him prior to going and basically, can he just walk back out and come back in as easily as I can? Going to Morocco if that means anything.

Thanks for any help!

Current green card no problems, just don't let it lapse. Remember in the 90 day window. 3 weeks easy.

Ok, so your saying with current Greencard, he can just walk in and out and no problems. I just worry because his visa is of course is now expired. So I have been wondering if he needed to apply for a visa. With all the trouble it was getting him here, as with any of us getting our spouses here, that when we try to come back with will be a big drama.

His K-1 Visa was a single-entry visa that allowed him to enter the U.S. and get married to you. After your AOS was approved, his immigration status changed to Permanent Resident. He does not need anything other than the valid green card to re-enter the U.S. :)

You should be ok, especially if the green card is still valid upon re-entry. If you file for ROC your first NOA will serve as a one year extension of the green card as well. Somebody correct me if I am wrong, since I won't go through this until June.

Since you're traveling in May 2012 (I'm guessing) and his GC won't expire until November 2012 (again, guessing), his GC will still be valid to travel in and out of the U.S. He'll need a valid passport (sometimes good for 6 months after travel date for some countries) and his Green Card. Just make sure you come back to the U.S. in time to file ROC but I'm guessing you won't be gone from May - November ;)

You should be ok, especially if the green card is still valid upon re-entry. If you file for ROC your first NOA will serve as a one year extension of the green card as well. Somebody correct me if I am wrong, since I won't go through this until June.

Yep, you're right! NOA1 from ROC serves as 1-year extension beyond conditional GC expiration. :thumbs:
