Answer 1

If you go back to your country while in refugee status or other status drived from it and the US government finds that out, you will be automaically disqualified from refugee status and thus loose your residency. US embassies help US citizens (not US legal residents) overseas. Therefore you are on your own while outside the borders of the US legal system.

Answer 2

why would you go back to your home, after getting a refugee status? have conditions changed in your country? if you know of any persecution? not sure the US would protect you, the US gave you refugee status, it cannot again protect you,

you are not an US citizen......

Refugee Questions and Answers

Who is a Refugee?

Under U.S. law, a refugee is a person who has fled his or her country of origin because of past persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution based upon race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or a membership in a particular social group. If the person is not in the United States, he or she may apply overseas for inclusion within the U.S. refugee program. If the person is already within the United States, he or she may apply for the U.S. asylum program

This definition of a refugee does not include those people who have left their homes only to seek a more prosperous life. Such people are commonly referred to as "economic migrants," and are not refugees. People fleeing civil wars and natural disasters also may be ineligible for refugee resettlement under U.S. law, although they may fall within the protection of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)

now? what do you seriously think?

Answer 3

You will NOT lose your status or your green card if you travel back to your home country.  While the other answerers have complained that you can't "really" be a refugee if you're willing to go back there, in fact there are a lot of reasons why refugee status is granted, and the US government will not take your status away because of where you go.

On the other hand, you are still a citizen of that country, not of the US, so if your are arrested or otherwise hasseled when you are there, the US embassy will not be able to help you the way it would a US citizen.

Answer 4

If you travel to your birth place, wouldn't that call into question your truthfulness in applying for refugee status?  Unless the situation changed since you got your green card?  That is the issue I would be concerned about since lying on your immigration applications can be enforced against by loss of status.
