Green Card and expired Passports/Visa's

[VisaDonnie 54]

I am not sure exactly which forum this goes under. But we are waiting for a Green Card Interview for Adjustment of status, its been 2 yrs. My wife's passport and tourist visa have expired from her home country (Venezuela). But she did receive an EAD card to work and travel as well as a SS#.

 

My question is if we got her Green Card lets say next week, without a valid (non-expired) passport she still can't leave the country, correct?

 

Any help is appreciated.

U.S. is fine with her  leaving and entering the U.S. with just her gc  

 

However airlines generally want a passport in addition to the gc.

Countries other than the US and Venezuela, will likely require a valid unexpired passport before your wife can enter.  Also, airlines may still require a valid passport to allow her to board the plane, regardless of her destination.
