I came from India by getting the immigrant visa before two weeks. So can I go back to India before getting the green card ? Is there any problem for that?

I have one question, my boyfriend and i live in the US, though I am a US CITIZEN, my boyfriend is not..Next May (2014), I want to go back to my birth country TAIWAN for a 2 week vacation, and I want my boyfriend to come with me, is there any procedure that has to be done before we leave since he’s only a green card holder?

Hi Eric,

That depends on whether or not you are looking to become a citizen. For more information about your personal case, you should talk to an immigration lawyer or USCIS.

I’ve got green card and my legal address in U.S. is at Alabama. I want to travel to CA for a couple of months. Will that affect my status?
