BRAKING: Green Card Holders Getting Pulled Into Secondary Inspection? Here's Why
Planning international travel with a Green Card (Lawful Permanent Resident) in 2026? Before you fly, watch this—CBP screening, re-entry risks, and must-have documents could decide if you walk through… or get pulled into secondary inspection.

In this video, I’ll explain what green card holders should prepare for when returning to the United States, including:
✅ The documents you should carry (and backups you should keep)
✅ Common red flags that trigger extra questioning
✅ The 6-month / 1-year travel risk everyone misunderstands
✅ When you should consider a Reentry Permit (Form I-131)
✅ What happens if you stayed outside the U.S. too long (SB-1 Returning Resident)
✅ Practical tips for smoother re-entry at airports & land borders

📌 Quick Travel Checklist (save this):
• Valid Green Card (I-551) + passport
• Proof of U.S. ties: job letter, lease/mortgage, tax returns, utility bills
• Return ticket + travel timeline
• If long trip: talk to an immigration attorney about I-131 reentry permit
• Keep copies of key documents (cloud + print)
