LPR returning to the US with a passport that will expire 5 months after arrival

[Alito2010 2]

Hello everyone,

I have a question that maybe you guys can help with...I am a green card holder and I will be travelling in November for two weeks to home country to visit my family. I will be returning the US on 12/08/14 and my passport expires on 06/02/15. I read on some places that you need six months prior to the expiration date on your passport by the time you arrive in the US. I also read that there is a list of countries exempt of this requirement (my home country is exempt). Anyways, does this requirement apply to LPR's or is just for visitors?.

Renewing my passport before leaving is a royal pain.. i Live in Orlando and I should have to travel to Miami two time (one to apply and one to pick up the passport)

Any input will be more than welcome.

Thank you all,

Your passport is Not required at POE as a Lpr. You are only required to present your green card on your return to the United States. Have fun
