Hi everyone. I know that this question might sound a bit silly but I want to be 100% sure.

Since I immigrated to the US in May 2012 I have never left the country. Next month though we will go on vacation to Europe so I'm wondering if the only thing I need to show to US Customs when I head back from my vacation is my green card (with my valid passport of course) or if I should also bring the confirmation letters I received from the immigration office when I actually got approved.

I think the green card is more than enough, but I wanted to make sure since so far I travelled only within the USA.

Thank you so much.

Mauro

PS: My green card (through K1 visa) expires on Nov 2014. How many months before should I start the renewal process? I read different opinions, someone says 6 months, others 3...

You need passport and GC to travel.

Read the I-751 instructions for GC renewal. There is a very specific window for applying, outlined there, and you won't need to rely on "people's opinions" anymore to know what it is.

Have a good trip!
