合法永久居民進出美國會受到一些限制
如有以下問題,可申請白皮書以便合法離開再進入美國。
需要離開美國1年以上。
因已在其他國家定居的記錄雖離開美少於1年但被認定放棄在美居住。
A reentry permit can help prevent two types of problems:
A lawful permanent resident (LPR) normally may travel outside the United States and return;
however, there are some limitations. Your Permanent Resident Card becomes technically invalid for reentry into the United States. If you are absent from the United States for 1 year or more.
