First time GC travellerJust about to visit the home country (UK) for the first time since getting my Green Card. Any idea what forms to fill in on the flight home, and do I just go through the same lines at Immigration that the Americans do?
Hello,
You would require a re-entry permit(a travel document) as you are a Green Card holder. File for the re-entry permit at least 3 months in advance. This will alow you to come back to the US. It is good for two years.

jonty,
He is just visiting his home country. If you are aGC holder, you can stay out of US for 11 months. You do not need a re-entry if you are not going to stay out of US for more than 11 months.
Yep, you dont need a re-entry permit if you are going to come back within 11 months. And there is only one form to fill on your flight back: The white customs form. And walk up and join the queue where citizens of your resident country(USA) are standing
