NY Flushing Queens, Manhattan immigration Lawyer Attorney news Marriage Family Sponsor green card Extension Citizenship reentry permit invite parents
I’m a green card holder. I’m planning to visit Korea, and I’m concerned there’s a chance I could be denied re-entry to the U.S. I was arrested in the past for a minor offense, and I believe the matter was resolved properly, but I’m not entirely sure. It was handled by a public defender, and I haven’t been able to reach them. I’d like to know how I should prepare.

If you’re concerned about the possibility of being denied re-entry as a green card holder, there may be various underlying concerns, but if you’d like to travel with as much stability as possible, consider the following:
1. Whether any related criminal/minor-offense proceedings and any community service have been completed
2. Whether there are any outstanding warrants for you
Taking these into account, obtaining a Re-Entry Permit (travel permit) and carrying documentation showing there is no basis for denial (i.e., that the matter is cleared) is at least some preparation you can make. That said, even with a travel permit, entry can still be denied at the inspection. Because the inspecting officer’s decision is made in the moment on whatever basis they choose, there is limited room for immigration-law intervention at that exact moment.
