A green card is a government issued form (a plastic card issued by the USCIS) for permanent residents of the U.S.  The card acts as a life-time visa and allows the permanent resident to enter and leave the U.S. freely without the requirement of travel documents, so long as they do not leave the country for more than than 180 days.  Thus, when permanent residents travel outside the U.S, they do not need anything other than their “green cards” if they travel within the statutory limit (less than 180 days).  There are many different avenues a person can use in obtaining a green card.  If you need to obtain a green card, it is important that you contact a competent Houston Immigration Attorney such as the Attorneys at Smith & Garg.
