he would not need reentry permit if the travel is less than 1 year. Over one year - yes.

A green card holder can never get a US passport since a US passport is proof of US citizenship.  He can only get that AFTER he has become a citizen.\n\nWhat he can get sometimes, is a travel document.  You need to get on the INS website or phone them.  BUT is you have a passport from the country you ARE a citizen of, you can travel on that.  The greencard will give you enterance back into the US.  Just don't travel outside the US for more than six months.  Then they start to wonder if you really live here or not.

Chao em;\n\nIt is becoming more and more difficult for Viets to come to the U.S. The U.S. Immigration is closing many of the opportunities to legally immigrate here from Vietnam. My fiancee' will have to wait over a year before I can take her home, and I'm a natural born American that just wants to live with my wife. \n\nYour best opportunity is trying to obtain a work visa. Find an American company to work for, do well with them and see if they will transfer you to a U.S. office. You will see many more U.S. businesses opening in Vietnam very soon.\n\nThe U.S. is a great country, but Vietnam can be just as good if not better for you. It is VERY expensive to live in the U.S. compared to Vietnam. Americans are not as nice in this country as Viets are in your own country. There are many more opportunities, but you may find it more difficult to live here than in Vietnam. \n\nVietnam is rapidly improving, and the hardships that you have experienced will be a thing of the past soon. You will soon see good paying jobs and more freedoms as we do in the U.S. \n\nXin Chao...

A "Green Card" is an identification card that identifies you as a Permanent Resident of the United States.  This means that you can basically live in the US forever.\n\nA Visa only grants you permission to visit the US for a certain amount of time and usually for a specific reason (tourism, work, business, etc.)  After the time on your Visa expires you can try to extend it (extensions aren't always granted) otherwise you have to leave.  If you violate the terms of your Visa you are considered to be committing a felony and may never be granted a Visa again.\n\nI'm fairly certain that if you are a citizen in a NATO country you don't need a Visa to travel to the US.  However, the limit of your stay can not exceed 90 days (in most cases).

Very doubtful.  Not even to visit, but it'll be up to France.  The USA will allow him to travel if he is off parole or if he receives permission from his P.O.

International Travel\n\nA Permanent Resident of the United States can travel freely outside of the US. A passport from the country of citizenship is normally all that is needed. To reenter the US a Permanent Resident normally needs to present the green card (Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551) for readmission. A reentry permit is needed for reentry for trips greater than one year but less than two years in duration.

http://www.vietnamembassy-usa.org/\n\nI admire you for respecting immigration procedure and hope you are able to realize your dream to bring your parents to USA.  The embassy should be able to help you pursue this goal.  Good luck!

If you have permanent residency, and there are no conditions on your card, you can travel freely.  JUST MAKE SURE TO BRING THE PERMANENT RESIDENT CARD WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO!!!!\n\nIf there are conditions on the card, make sure it will not expire while you are out of the country.\n\nAlso, if you leave and take up residency in another country, you are in danger of losing your US residency.  Leaving for a year is enough to get you investigated.

Yes, he can. Because he is a US citizen and you are his immediate relative. However, I would ask an immigration lawyer about how he can do it without having you to exit the country first.

If you've already filed the I-751, you should have received a notice from USCIS extending the validity of the I-551 for another year, which you would then use to re-enter the US along with the expired greencard.  \n\nIf you did not receive the extension notice, if you were in the US, you would have been able to make an infopass appointment to receive a stamp in the passport to extend the I-551 another year.\n\nWithout the extension notice, I think your wife will be denied re-entry to the US.  Lying to the CBP and entering as a visitor will not work if her passport is scaned, as all her immigration information is available to the CBP, just by scanning her passport.

Talk to the " Belgian Embassy "   here in US. U might have to go to "Belgian" once to activate your passport.

Sounds like a scam to me. Ask to see his visa's expiry date.

Yes, there is a 12 months limit.  \nIf you stay outside of the US for 12 months, your Permanent Resident card could be terminated.  Make sure before you travel to get a Travel Permit from immigration.  This is extremely important; if you don't, you will have problems coming back into the country.\nIgnore the negative comments from Tragic_Hero; with your current passport, your Permanent Resident card and your travel permit from INS, you should have no problems whatsoever.

There is no limit - you can stay out of the US for as long as you want.  But I think you meant how long can a US permanent resident stay out of the US WITHOUT losing the greencard.  \n\nFrom my experience, 6 months is recommended as a guideline to all my clients.  Beyond that, you risk losing your greencard when you try to enter the border.  \n\n6 months is recommended because it is the cut-off line in establishing continuous residency when you apply for naturalization (citizenship).  If you are absent for more than 6 months, your continuity breaks and you need to wait a longer period before applying.  \n\nTherefore, it would appear that 6 months should be a safe period.  Many permanent residents purposefully "visit" the US every 6 months to maintain their status.  \n\nHowever, if you do need to be abroad for more than 6 months, I recommend that you apply for a Reentry Permit.  (see link below).  It'll allow you to re-enter after extended absence.

I think you're talking about a non-immigrant tourist multiple visa.  This won't allow you to apply for citizenship. It just says you can visit the country for a certain time as allowed by the customs officer at the port of entry. And, then come back another time until your visa expires.   \nVisit www.uscis.gov for more information on these matters.

Your approved stay in the U.S. does NOT depend on when your visa expires --- it depends on the date on your I-94,  Arrival Departure Record expires.  You received this when you went through Immigration at the airport or land port-of-entry.\n\nThe I-94 is a little white card that will has your name and stamped or written on it, will have your entry date and the date by which you MUST leave the U.S.\n\n Unless you file a form requesting an extension of your approved stay, you will become illegal the day after the I-94 expires. Just because your visa expires April 2007 DOES NOT mean you can stay in the U.S. until April of 2007.  In fact, it DOES NOT mean that at all.   If you stay in the U.S. after the date of that your I-94 expires, you will be illegally in the U.S.  This will also have the effect of automatically canceling your visa, and will most likely prevent you from getting a new visa in the future.  \n\nNOTE:  If you need to extend your stay in the U.S., you must file the form below with the Service Center in your region and the office MUST receive it before the date your I-94 expires.  \n\nAlso,  to get the extension you will have to show you have a valid passport.  So do that quickly!\n\nGood luck!
