Do you have a Green Card? If so, that and your passport are all you need to re-enter the US. You can read up about your new status here:

You'll use the line marked "Permanent Residents". It is different in each airport, sometimes with visitors, sometimes with US citizens.

sometimes other countries have different entry requirements for permanent residents... just check out the website of the country you are planning to visit and find out

I suggest you take a copy of your marriage certificate also. Keeps all the names straight since passport and green card may not match

what Immigration counter do I go to? citizen or just the one tourists go to?

I have entered at Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Miami, Houston, Seattle, Atlanta (and some others I can't recall) and at every POE there were people from other countries in the line for US citizens (they had Passports other than US.) So, the rule of thumb is "Take the shortest Line" - everyone else does!

Green Card Holders can use the USC Line...

MarilynP,

Where did you get this information from? Normally when you travel to another country, the other country looks at your citizenship to determine how to treat you. Therefore, the green card holder's passport is the determining factor concerning how the traveler gets handled in the country being visited.

Canada and Mexico extend different entry regulations to US Permanent Residents---people who might normally need a visa are allowed to visit without a visa if they have a Green Card.

US Green Card Holders: If you are a foreign national residing in the US as a permanent resident (green card holder) you do not need a visa to visit Mexico. You do need to have a valid passport and valid green card with you for the duration of your travel.

VISITOR VISA EXEMPTIONS

Many people do not require a visa to visit Canada. These include

persons lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence who are in possession of their alien registration card (Green card) or can provide other evidence of permanent residence.

Other countries may have similar waivers for US PRs.
