I have my green card and I get public benefits. Can I travel outside the United States?

Law Offices of David M. Kramer
If you are a legal resident who gets public benefits right now, you should not travel outside the U.S. for more than 6 months. If you are gone for more than 6 months, the INS can ask you questions about whether you are likely to become a public charge, and may not let you re-enter the country. If you are outside of the U.S. for less than 6 months, in most cases the INS cannot stop you from re-entering the country based on being a public charge.

The reason for this increase is straightforward - the 100 USD MRV fee was already lower than actual cost of providing NIV services when the cost of service study was revised in 2004. Since the last increase from $65 to $100 in 2002, there have been new security-related costs, new IT systems that have been put in place, and inflation has caused overall costs to rise. The non-immigrant visa fee was increased twice since 9/11, both times in 2002.

Why not going outside the United States?

Laser Eye Center of Miami - Welcome - Miami, FL
In some places outside the United States (Central and South America, Canada, etc.) the prices of LASIK can be lower than they are in the U.S. Although there is no doubt that some of those doctors are up to par with any top-notch eye surgeon worldwide, the qualifications of some of them are spotty. Their surgery centers do not have the strict quality control measures so common place in the U.S. such as maintenance of the equipment, single use of blades, etc.
