UK Resident in US travel question..

[dwightschrute]

Hi guys

I am currently resident in the US and hold a Greencard which is good through until February of next year. My Greencard was issued for a two year period, which I understand makes me a conditional permanent resident.

I wish to return home to the UK for a two week visit to see my family in July but am unsure of the procedure regarding re-entry to the US. Do I need to file a form beforehand?

Many thanks.

If your greencard is valid for only 2 years, you are a conditional permanent resident. Do not use Form I-90 if you are a conditional resident and your status is expiring. Conditional permanent residents are required to file a petition to remove those conditions within 90 days of their card expiring.
If your conditional status was based on a marriage, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence.

If your conditional status was based on being an investor, you must file Form I-829, Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions on Permanent Resident Status.

Once your petition is approved, you will be sent a new greencard valid for 10 years. At that point, the Green Card Renewal or Green Card Replacement process involves the use of Form I90.[/url]

Thanks for the info - however I'm sorry to ask what might be a stupid question but does this affect me traveling overseas whilst holding conditional permanent residency?

Please ignore jamhelmcor's post (it's just spam). You don't need to fill in any forms, since you are a permanent resident.
