I was planning to renew, but it’s taking time, and I suddenly need to go to Korea urgently.
My green card’s 10-year validity period has already passed. I’d like to know if I can still leave and later re-enter the U.S. without losing my permanent resident status.

First, even after the 10-year validity period on your green card has passed, your permanent resident status itself does not change — only the card’s validity period has expired. Renewing a green card typically takes about 4 months, so if you need to leave during that window, we recommend making an InfoPass appointment, visiting a USCIS office, and having a temporary one-year valid green card stamp placed in your passport before you leave. When you apply for the card and go in for fingerprinting, they’ll also affix a one-year valid sticker on the back of your card. Typically, about 4–6 months after fingerprinting, your new card arrives by mail.
