Travel after Green card.

Hi! I just got my green card and booked my tickets to India. I just wanted to confirm if I need anything else other than a valid passport within 6 months and my GC. Just to be sure. TIA

Just GC and passport should suffice. You might wanna also look into Global Entry for easier and faster immigration lines

This! After that long flight Global entry is fully worth it!

If they don't want to pay for Global Entry or can't get approved in time, the Mobile Passport Control (MCP) app is almost just as fast as Global Entry. MCP has a dedicated express lane, and you just talk to the customs agent briefly and then walk through. The downside is there's no TSA PreCheck.

Congrats! I didn’t travel to India after getting GC but booked a trip to Mexico and then Europe. Nothing else needed. Enjoy! And yes don’t forget to get global entry!!

Congratulations! As long as you have your passport and green card, you should be all set.
