It depends how long you've been outside the U.S. If you left less than 12 months ago, you can apply for a boarding foil; if more than 12 months, you should apply for Returning Resident status, which is more complicated and more expensive. Either way, you can ask for an appointment by e-mailing LagosIV@state.gov.

(I keep trying to attach the instruction documents here, but my computer won't let me....)

I got your really prompt response last week, thanks so much. I am still in need of the list of documents or requirements and processes for getting the boarding foil. Is there a link to the documents, as an alternative? I'm a bit confused as the information on the US Embassy Nigeria website is not clear to me.

When I request the interview and get one via the email, is there a list of documents that I need to bring along?

Looking forward to receiving the documents. Please help me. Thanks

Thanks so much for your prompt response. Sorry I forgot to mention that. It's been less than 2 (two) months - I actually left sometime last month. But the card expired on June 22.

Hello Sir/Ma'am,

I am a US Permanent Resident, though a Nigerian Citizen. I have applied to remove the conditions on my permanent residency - the application has been sent in prior to the expiration of my two-year permanent residency card - and I am presently in Nigeria. I want to go back home to the US. Can I apply for a boarding foil to go back, and if so, what are the processes and requirements?
