You can travel and come back till the expiry date on your GC. But you have to file for ROC with divorce waiver since you have your divorce decree.

The immigration process caused me PTSD.

Thank you very much.I was thinking to call Immigrations tomorrow before buying a ticket, just to be in safe side and my friend told me to ask on this site.

for how long are you planning to stay out of the US?

Three weeks only, and I'already let USCIS know about address change, but didn't informed them about divorce.I was waiting for some more documents so I can file ROC.

Goodluck.

Just an update.I have travel back to my Country and came back.Had no problems at all.Decided to wait until my 90 days window opens up, just in case something goes wrong.I don't have lots of evidence,and apparently my ex send some letter to immigrations, but my lawyer said I will be fine.
