it doesn’t matter. the only thing is that CBP officers sometimes don’t know what RTD is and telling pol to use your passport instead….this is some grey area….what’s his experience coming back on cop?any problems or questions?

@Harjinder singh up to him really. RTD safer option but so long to get it and it is valid for a year only.
I would use GC + NP if I were him. But it’s his decision. The only problem might be during his naturalization process but even then I haven’t heard anyone being denied because they used NP. Make sure he has a good answer why he used NP that’s all - nobody cares I think. This is my subjective personal opinion.
