The green card of my husband has expired, but he had started his naturalization process when it expired, so he opted to not renew. He has a valid passport. Can we travel internationally?

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyInternational travel is not recommended in your situation, but if you do depart the United States, your husband will need an I-131A transportation letter to reenter the United States since he will unlikely be able to board the return flight to the United States.

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyAn expired green card is not a valid document for travel. Depending on where you filed, it can take a long time to complete. If you need to travel (or if your employer asks), you should file I-90 and then seek an apt with USCIS to get an I-551 stamp placed into your passport.
