My husband is a greencard holder through his IR-1 visa process. So he basically got the greencard through our marriage. He recently went back to his home country for the holidays and is returning to USA on January 7. Although he has his greencard in his possession, will he need to show other documents at border control, such as our marriage certificate? He says no, but I'm worried and feel like they'll ask for it. Anybody here know for sure? Thanks

They will NOT ask for marriage certificate.

I will be the contrarian 

 

There was this one  time in 2021 after more  two years of marriage we flew to the USA together. 
 

We were asked by CBP if we had recently married despite  my wife presenting a green card issued over a year ago.  
 

I advise a copy of the marriage certificate on his phone.
