Is Green Card (LPR) same as Form I-551?

Hello,

I am filling out a I-131 forum. I am not sure, on a few things....

1. Permanent Resident Card = I-551 form?
2. If my I-131 application gets approved for 2 years, but my Green Card (LPR) expires within a year, will I still be able to make it back to US?
3. What documents can I use to send, which are required for I-131 application?

Any help would really be appreciated. God Bless, & Happy New Year.

You can apply to renew your Green Card; there are instructions for applying from overseas. Your reentry permit will cover you for that. See form I-90.
BUT, how long have you been a PR? If you still have to remove conditions on your residency, your strategy may not work.

PR Card = I-551, yes.
