Hi Peter,

I have a green card that will expire in August 2016. I also have a valid travel permit until 2018. If I do not renew my green card in August, and leave the country, will I still be able to return using the travel permit?

If you have a valid green card, what exactly is the travel permit? Advanced Parole? The reason I ask is you wouldn't need a travel permit if you have a green card (Permanent Residence Status). And, typically all prior status disappears once you get it (i.e. you couldn't use a valid H1-B visa to enter once you get a green card).

If you're worried about renewing, you can always go to the USCIS office and get a stamp in your passport that shows your Permanent Resident status (I-551 stamp). It's only valid for 6 months though.

Thanks a lot Peter.
