So my wife already has a green card and has been here for 1 year.  We want to travel back to China so she can visit her family.  A local friend said she doesn't need anything since she can simply reenter the US with the green card.  I have read that this is the case.  However, I'm worry about her leaving China without a proper VISA and only a US Green card.  Will she have any problems leaving China after the vacation?

Did you say  "only a Green  Card"? yes she can enter.

Yes, I understand she can enter China and enter the US.  But does she need any special documents to LEAVE China?

Greencard is her permission to enter the USA, as such she no longer needs a visa.  

YMMV

She is a chinese citizen... does a chinese citizen normally need anything to leave China? This would not have changed just because she is a US Green card holder.

 

 

Yes it does. Green card gives permission to enter the U.S., which is usually required to board a U.S.-bound aircraft from ANY country.

If any problems are experienced with airline personnel (rare with a green card) , call for a supervisor.

China passport 

plus 

a USA Greencard 

 

Now, if the name on either doesn't match - sometimes you'll need a 3rd thing that has all names [like a USA/County-issued marriage certificate

 

 

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
