Can I return to China with an American asylum green card?

As we all know, the United States is one of the most tolerant countries to asylum seekers and will give them a wide range of rights and benefits. So many people come to the United States to seek asylum every year. Then apply for an American green card through asylum and obtain permanent residency in the United States. Then, five years after successfully getting a green card, apply for naturalization in the United States and become a citizen.

Applying for asylum means that the applicant has suffered certain harm and threats in his own country. Applicants who have obtained asylum green cards through religion, family planning or other means have told judges or immigration officials at the time of application that if they are persecuted in their home countries, they will pass the examination to obtain green cards. The law firm hereby reminds all asylum green card holders: Please choose to leave the country carefully, because you may encounter a lot of troubles when you return to the United States.

Generally speaking, American green card holders will not be questioned by China Customs staff when they leave China and return to the United States. However, this does not mean that China Customs has no right to inquire about citizens' intention to leave the country. Therefore, while the global epidemic continues to spread, domestic epidemic prevention policies and entry-exit policies have never been relaxed. In order to prevent the import of overseas epidemic, the customs staff will ask every China citizen the reasonable reason for leaving the country on the principle of not traveling unless necessary.

Generally speaking, the customs will allow the exit requirements for international students' visas, work visas and family visit visas. However, some other reasons for leaving the country are likely to be rejected by the customs. Just like recently, we saw a woman who was hotly discussed in a circle of friends. Not only did she not leave the country, but her passport was cancelled by the customs.

This lady is a citizen of China and holds a green card for asylum in the United States. At the same time, she successfully applied for immigration to the United States for her children. The purpose of returning to China this time is also to pick up the children and go back to the United States together. What she didn't expect was that before leaving the country, the staff of China Customs would ask her how she got the American green card. She didn't respond for a while, and hesitated for a long time before admitting to the border inspectors that she got the American green card by applying for asylum.

In view of the particularity of the asylum green card in the United States, the China Customs staff believed that the woman had violated the laws of China. There are acts of distorting and slandering national policies, laws and administrative regulations, so she not only refused her request to leave the country, but also directly cut her passport and cancelled it.

Getting started is also difficult.

After getting the green card for asylum, many people will want to go back to China as soon as possible to meet their families and solve the suffering of lovesickness. But what many people don't know is that all green cards obtained by asylum seekers will be marked with the word AS6. Therefore, the staff of the US Customs will clearly see the green card category of each immigrant. Therefore, when asylum green card holders choose to go back to their home country to visit relatives and then return to the United States, they may be considered by the US Customs as "there is no fear of persecution in their home country" and thus be disqualified from the green card.

Only when asylum green card holders have reasons that can make immigration officials feel understandable and sympathetic, whether they hold temporary green cards or formal green cards, they can choose to return to China. Otherwise, when asylum green card holders return to the United States again, they may be detained and questioned by the customs, and even question the applicant's motives in applying for asylum.

In view of the diversification of immigration issues and the personalized law enforcement standards of customs officers, no one can guarantee that asylum green card holders will enter the customs smoothly when they return to their home country and the United States. Therefore, in order to avoid the above problems, green card holders can choose to be naturalized as soon as possible. After becoming a citizen, it is much less likely to be asked by the customs about the reasons for asylum.
