Hello,

My husband is a Moroccan citizen, and he moved to the USA in July 2013. He received his 2-year USA green card in April 2014. This green card expires in April 2016.
We are planning to travel to Morocco for a two week vacation in October. Which documents does he need in order to return to the USA after the vacation? Does he need to apply for a visa? Or does he need to travel with just his Moroccan passport and USA green card?
Anything else we need to know? It's our first time traveling out of the USA since he arrived.
Thank you!

Thanks for your answer!

I'm also hoping to hear from another Moroccan that traveled like this.

I think his concern is not getting back into the USA, but the airport officials in Morocco not allowing him to board the plane with the passport and green card. Hearing from someone that traveled through Morocco with just a passport and green card would ease our minds.

He's officially an LPR. There is no reason why they would deny him entry into the US after a short trip abroad. Also there would be no reason to deny him exit from Morocco because he has perfectly valid papers. The only thing that could stop him from exiting Morocco would be if he loses his papers, or if he had a warrant for his arrest or something like that. You shouldn't worry.

This does not constitute legal advice.

Hi there,

If your husband has a green card in hand valid for another 2 years (or so) he has nothing to fear, unless he has issues to solve with the immigration. For the Moroccan side, a valid passport and a visa are the only needed docs. If you don't mind to answer, based on what he's got his 2 year green card? You can email me @ moebenben@yahoo.com if you don't want to put this info in the open.
