You should have a foreign passport from the country you were born especially when you are getting off the ship in foreign ports of call. The Resident card is to return to the US.

Generally speaking, you need a passport.  But there are countries that you cannot visit, like Yugoslavia or Zimbabwe

A green card means you're a resident, so you can work here without getting kicked out.  I don't believe there are any restrictions to you working outside the country.

Only if you need to prove change of name.\nhttp://www.travel.state.gov/passport/get/renew/renew_833.html

Not that I know of.  But there are countries that allow "naturalized" citizens to do so.  Canada, for one.

Yes, a few years back because of the Patriot Act and terrorist incidents, they require all persons to provide ID, if you are not a citizen (a green card holder) then you also have to show them your green card.

I have never heard of a transitional passport for greencard holders.  What would the purpose of it be?\n\nAs far as I know, a greencard holder just needs the greencard and a passport from country of birth in order to travel outside the US.

A green card will give you the status of permanent resident in the US. Which means you can permanently stay in the US.\nOther kinds of visa are temporary and after they expire you either have to leave the country or re-apply for a new visa.\n\nYou DO NOT have to carry it with you all the time. Only if you travel abroad. You will need to present it when you re-enter the US.\n\nA green card is valid for 10 years and will need to be renewed..pretty much like a passport. The renewal is just a matter of sending a single form..you don't have to go through the whole process again.\n\nHaving a green card is a mandatory step if you want to become a US citizen.\n\n\nRestrictions:\nYou are still an immigrant (actually a resident alien). So\nyou are subject to deportation if you mess up with the law.\n\nYou cannot and should not vote.

you definitely need both to get back in ( a passport if you are a US citizen, green card & passport(from your country of origin) if you are not)\nI guess it should be fine for you to exit the country with just you passport since there are not really any checks when exiting (except maybe some random ones) but it would be a lot safer to have both...

Yes you can  As long as you are in this country legally  Many aliens come to the US on an H1B VISA and they have to get social security cards.

you have to get a passport from your own country.  Do you have a passport to be in the US?

It will depend on the citizenship laws of the European country. Some countries allow citizenship to pass down as many as three generations, others only one generation. I would suggest your contact an attorney/notary/solicitor in the EU country you are interested in and see if you can qualify.\n\nAs an American, you are legally allowed to possess dual citizenship, but it can present a problem when traveling abroad (i.e. which passport do you use?). What many dual nationals do is attempt to have the border officers in the foreign state stamp both the U.S. and the other passport upon entry. This eases your re-entry to the U.S. \n\nGood luck!

Check with an immigration lawyer. If you do something wrong it can ruin your chances of permanent residence and citizenship.

Only people with visas require re-entry permints.  As a Green Card holder you're a permenant resident and can come and go as you please.  That is as long as you have a valid passport from your country of origin.

The government of France is at present issuing biometric passports to replace older passports as they expire.  However, you do not have to replace your passport if it is still valid.\n\nAs long as you have a valid passport and green card, you can travel without problems.  You might want to keep an eye on the French embassy's web page to see if they decide to replace ALL passports in the future.\nhttp://www.info-france-usa.org/fr/partirusa/passeport.asp

Even if only one of the parents is a US citizen, that child is a US citizen. The residence requirements of the US citizen parents are rather easy to meet. An embassy or consular office can issue a "Consular Report of the Birth of a Citizen Abroad" which will serve as the child's US birth certificate. They will also issue, at the same time, the child's US passport. Call the embassy in the country where the child was born and they will provide you with the specific information regarding the necessary local documents. Also, most of the US embassy websites will have information particular to children born in that country of US citizens.
