Wife now has Green Card and FL drivers's license

[Palmer 12]

and her Colombian passport does not expire for about another 10 years. We are planning a trip to Cabo MEX and I'm wondering if she can exit and re-enter the US with these credentials? I've 'seen' contact the State Department but wondering if/who knows what/where/why?

Thanks

Take your passport, every time I enter I am asked for it.

I think having a US GC means she does not need a visa if she would otherwise require one for Mexico but check.

Interesting question. I've been wondering the same thing because I prefer traveling on my Swedish passport, since it allows easier travels and "open more doors". I've therefore been researching it a lot a did read somewhere on the state department's website that they require US citizens to exit and enter the US with their American passport, regardless of their dual citizenship. Not sure if that means you just need to leave the US with it or, when you come back, you need to show proof of having entered another country with the passport (when required)?! But www.state.gov should give you the information.

Trip to Cabo sounds NICE. ?

You can enter say Sweden on your Swedish passport, entering the US you must use your US passport.

US does not have exit controls.

Hmmmm..she does not have a US passport., she is still a citizen of Colombia. Will figure this out...stand by...

Colombians do not need a visa to enter Mexico, just bring her Colombian passport and that will suffice. I would also bring her passport (with the US visa stamp) and green card to re-enter into the US. That is what we did.

[Palmer 12]

100JH thanks, that's what it looks like.

Incidentally, when looking online the info says call the State Department. Did that and they told me to call USCIS. Did that and they told me to call US Customs and Border Protection...no answer and emailed, no answer yet. However, everything looks like, and from what a British coworker told me, just need a Green Card but will have FL driver's license, her W2, bank statement, etc....that might be all meaningless but will have it either way...

Thanks

Visa requirements for Colombian citizens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Colombian passport

Visa requirements for Colombian citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Colombia. In 2014, Colombian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 66 countries and territories, ranking the Colombian passport 64th in the world according to the Visa Restrictions Index.

Citizens of Colombia do not need a passport when traveling to Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. For these countries, they may use just their domestic identification cards called Cédula de Ciudadanía.[1]

No, she doesn't need a visa to get into Mexico or Canada, just her green card and passport. This is a Mexican border control issue, not a US issue.

http://consulmex.sre.gob.mx/sanfrancisco/index.php/visas-traveling-to-mexico

1. US Permanent Residents traveling by air, land or sea to Mexico are required to present a valid Permanent Resident Card. Plus a valid and not expired passport or travel document. If you do not have that card consult other documentation also accepted to prove the US Permanent Residence status (Link).
