International Travel with Green Card after AOS via IJ Order

Self Post

Hi everyone! My husband and I are hoping to plan our first international trip together after his green card was granted via an immigration judge. We adjusted status in court because he was put into removal proceedings as a child and the proceedings were later administratively closed by a judge. After marriage, we filed I-130, I-485, and reopened his case in court before an immigration judge. The judge granted his green card in court and we received it in the mail a few weeks later. The entire process took so long after our marriage that he was issued the permanent green card (10 year).

My question is, does his history of visa overstay or removal proceedings as a child impact our current ability to travel in any way? He has no criminal history and did not accrue any unlawful presence as an adult since he was on DACA up until his AOS in court last month.

Thank you so much in advance, this subreddit has been such a valuable resource during our journey.
