My wife used to have a green card. We were travelling to the US on holidays subsequent to her moving home and she approached immigration when we landed in the US. They were very courteous; I'd say the whole procedure took 30-45 minutes. Perhaps it helped that she was relinquishing it voluntarily rather than the immigration officers perceiving that she was abusing the system in some way. I can't remember how long she had been absent from the US at the time.bb12 said:Has anybody relinquished their greencard at US immigration in Dublin airport recently? I left the US in Oct 2001 and haven't been back since. I now have a trip planned in February and know that I have to relinquish the green card. Will I get much hassle or delay at immigration? With all the new security measures these days, I really don't know what to expect.
