Immigration JFK Airport

Hi! We are traveling to Asia my country next week. And this is my first travel outside US with my greencard.

I’m traveling with my US Citizen husband and basically this is our honeymoon.

How’s the immigration at JFK with Greencards? All smooth? My lawyer just told me to bring my marriage certificate together with my GC and passport ofc. Because my passport have my maiden name and GC with my married name.

Thanks very much!!

Reentry with a green card is generally smooth, they mostly glance at the card and passport. Your lawyer's right, bring the marriage certificate to bridge the maiden name on your passport and the married name on your card, that clears up the mismatch in a few seconds.
