The general mantra has always been that when traveling, to make sure the airline ticket is in the same name as that on the passport... Now, this makes me wonder why the green card appears in some pasts posts to be suggested as not needing to be consistent, since the right to re-entry is defined by status; the passport does not define the status, but a I-94 or greencard does (?). I know that some passports might have a stamp from the AOS interview (ergo, the passport shows the status), or AP permits re-entry, but some will eventually get new passports not having the stamp. So, can people share their comments/experiences on re-entry in regards to the passport and GC... which was needed to show or not; were the PP and GC names the same; did the passport have a stamp or not, etc. ---- Here's one thread example: Simple--book her ticket using the name on her passport!185998[/snapback] But, but...her green card will be Li Lu. Won't we just be transfering the problem to leaving/re-entering the US rather than China??? 186000[/snapback] Interesting>>> i'm sure this has happened a hundred times. My wife's green card says Fang Ling Minnick but her passport just says fang ling. She ill be going to china in May. In the USA they check tickets against photo ID. I don't remember them doing this on the return in china. I'll use her full name for the tickets. she can use her green card for ID to leave and her passport to come back on????????????? If memory serves they only request the passport when clearing cuswtoms--nothing to do with the ticket!!186003[/snapback] My x was a Japanese National. She had the same circumstances as your wife has on her passport and green card. Therefore, unless US custom has changed its policy, it is the name on the passport that is considered for reentry, not the green card. Also, as Trigg said above the passport name must be the same on the airline ticket and reentry is passport only...not airline ticket too. Hope this helps!!

Fei is going to go back to China. Her AP has my last name and her last name as middle name. So do we book a ticket for Fei Ji, so it matches her passport or do we book it with my last name so it matches the AP? I would think immigration would know it was her with Just Fei Ji but we know how the government works sometimes. Robert & Fei

Hey all, Juxin recently received the conditional permanent resident stamp thing (a.k.a. the temporary green card stamp) in the back of her Chinese passport. As such we thought it would be nice to drive up to Vancouver BC next weekend. There's no doubt that she will be able to get back into the US. But what about getting into Canada? Will they let her in? Does she have to apply for a Canadian tourist visa, or will they treat her as a "regular" permanent resident since she has the stamp in her Chinese passport? FYI, she also has her official State of Oregon DMV-issued identification card that shows her last name the same as mine. Can she get into Canada with that??
