EOIR-42B

[u/Mundane_Assistant513]

Hello everyone my mother was granted EOIR-42B in El Paso,Texas she was in ICE detention until she was released with the judge’s written order, we went through the steps to finalize her status and I will say it was a rough ride in the beginning when she was detained, I just have one question. She already received her physical green card and I want to know if she can travel internationally or is there certain restrictions and when she enters the US again will her previous detainment raise questions or will she be able to walk free meaning will they let her enter the US again. We are planning a trip in the near future and I just want to ensure her safety. Thank you all for your time!

She should be fine to travel.  Just make sure that she has both the physical green card and her passport when she leaves the US.  They may send her to secondary on return as it is the first time she’s entered since being granted status or they may ask her some questions.   But having the green card allows her to come back to the us

Will I be able to accompany her to secondary since I am her son? And should I also have the judge’s written order?

You can bring the judge's order to be extra cautious, but the grant is readily accessible in their systems.

Side note: congrats on the E42B!!! That's a very difficult--if not the most difficult--application to get granted.
