I am a Canadian citizen. I had a temporary green card about 2 years ago when I went with the K1-visa route. My marriage did not work out and I left US about 2 years ago, never returned.
I have a trip planned for Las Vegas in a month and I am just wondering if I need to apply for any special visa to enter US again for the trip.

 

thank you for any input.

Did you go through adjustment of status after marrying ? 
 

If yes, did you receive a Conditional green card .. if yes , what is the expiry date on the card ? 
 

When did you leave the US to reestablish your domicile in Canada ? 
 

Did you send  any formal notification of your move / abandonment of LPR stats to USCIS  ?

I did go through adjustment of status and got a conditioned green card. My green card has expired as of 2022 October. 
I left US to reestablish my domicile in Canada in 2020 December. 
no, I didn’t send any formal notification of my move to the uscis.

You should complete an I-407 since you no longer consider yourself a legal resident of the US.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Are you interested in staying in US at some time in the future? If yes, I'd file I-751 to get 10 year GC.But you'll have to live in US afterwards.

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

I 407 it is

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

A green card is not a glorified visitor visa.  File the I-407.  You don't need a special visa to visit.

I was just asking because you already had a GC....so, I saw it easier to file ROC. But if you're sure you'll not come to US again, proceed as advised by others.
