Documents needed by and anticipated questions for green card holders at the port of entry
I am a G.C. holder and will travel next month and plan to return to the U.S. in December. What documents do I need to carry and show at the port of entry when I return to the U.S.? What questions does a CBP officer usually ask a green card holder at the port of entry? Do I need to carry tax returns, pay stubs, W-2, and previous H-1B documents ( I was in H-1B before I got G.C.)?
If it is less than six months, all you need to carry is your green card and passport. If you have any evidence of continued employment, for instance, a couple of W-2's, scan them and put them on the cloud. You can show them to the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers if asked. Usually, for exits of less than six months duration, the scope of the CBP inquiry is limited. I doubt you will be asked any questions.

I would like to thank Khanna's Law office in every stage. Now he helped to cross the first stage. My Federal Labor certified. Even though we are client's to Rajiv, He treats clients as friend and some one very close to him by giving personal care and attention. Also his personnel's are also doing good job particularly Subha(Case Manager). I felt that my case has been taken with close personal care by Subha. You will feel, if you are dealing the case through Subha. I appreciate Subha's immediate response and perfect guidance, by treating us like a family member. I have no words to thank her. Also the follow up by Rajiv's office is excellent. I would like to thank Suman(Supervisor),Bindhiya and Mathew Chacko also in this time. Once again my heartful thanks to Rajiv for bringing my case to this level. I am also least bothered about my next stage, as I have good group of people like Rajiv and Subha with me. I strongly recommend every one to process through Rajiv's Office to get success.
I wish a very Happy and Prosperous New Year for Rajiv and his Team.
