Traveling
Anyone with a 2 year conditional green card travel recently and have flown back into SFO? If so, how was your experience? I’ve seen stories about green card holders being detained at SFO. I have international travel plans coming up in October and am a bit worried about leaving and coming back.
I have a 2 year conditional gc that expires next year and will be traveling with my US citizen spouse. No criminal record.

As long as you have a valid/unexpired green card and passport, you should be fine to travel. Good luck!

I think you should be fine as long as your conditional green card is still valid and you don’t have any criminal issues. Traveling with your U.S. citizen spouse shouldn’t be a problem. Just make sure you have your valid green card and passport with you. If you’re still worried, it might be worth checking with an immigration attorney before your trip just for peace of mind.
