Green Card Travel Risk Checker

A long trip abroad can put your green card at risk. Check your abandonment risk based on how long you'll be away and whether you have a re-entry permit.

1
How long is/was your single trip outside the US?

Enter the length of your longest continuous absence, in months.

2
Do you have a re-entry permit (Form I-131)?

A re-entry permit protects re-entry for up to 2 years abroad — but not your citizenship clock.
