NY Flushing Queens, Manhattan immigration Lawyer Attorney news Marriage Family Sponsor green card Extension Citizenship reentry permit invite parents
I’ve assumed my green card was automatically revoked after living in Korea for a long time after returning.
As I prepare to go to the U.S. now, it seems like entry using my existing green card would be difficult — I’d like to know if I need to surrender my U.S. green card beforehand in order to enter.

Generally, without surrendering the green card, there’s a conflict when trying to obtain travel authorization to the U.S. This is because a green card holder is meant to enter based on immigrant status, whereas travel authorization is granted based on nonimmigrant purposes. Since these purposes for entry conflict, this results in being unable to obtain travel authorization — so in practice, people surrender their green card and then re-enter visa-free or on a visitor visa.
