Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Hi I am the holder of a permanent resident card without expiration date, I got it long time ago.

I need to go urgently to my native country, a friend of mine told me those cardS are still good to travel.

Am I ok to travel abroad without any problem and without violating the law using that card.?

If that's the only issue, you should be OK to travel, however in your particular situation it could be different. At the airport you could be required by Customs and Border Protection to apply for a new card or after leaving the airiport they might allow it. You could also apply before you leave to get a card with a 10 year expiration.
