Enhanced Passenger Processing (EPP) is a pre-primary queue segmentation process for U.S. citizens entering the United States.
Are you a frequent traveler, going to international destinations for pleasure? Or a commercial truck driver hauling goods from Mexico or Canada? Whatever your travel needs, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can help move you through the line at the airport or port of entry.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) offers a suite of mobile applications (apps) to help expedite the travel process when entering the United States, help customs brokers facilitate import inspections, and more.
If you are a lawful permanent resident, you may be eligible to become a U.S. citizen after five years of becoming a lawful permanent resident, or three years if you are married to a U.S. citizen. More information on the naturalization process and available citizenship materials can be found at the Citizenship Resource Center.
You may show your expired green card and your receipt notice as evidence of continued status or valid passport that contains a valid USCIS ADIT Stamp or valid USCIS Form I-94 with ADIT stamp, DHS seal, and printed photo of the LPR (aka USCIS Mail Delivery Process) to return back into the United States.
Note: We have no authority to claim that this is sufficient evidence to gain entry to other countries if/when there is a departure from the USA.
