Travelling while having conditions removed

[JHJ 0]

We'll be starting the process of removing my conditions soon. I just wondered when you start this process are you allowed to travel out of the US or are you in limbo land as with the K1 application.

My 'visa' expires June 27th and I want to go to the UK first week of June returning on or around the 14th.

Thanks

Long time no see! :-)

The NOA contains a notation that your green card is extended one year past its expiration date, travel and work authorized. How long until your NOA depends on your Service Center; Texas takes a bit over a week, but Vermont has been taking up to a couple of months, so if you're still in their territory (you're no longer in NJ, right? neither are we), I'd recommend filing as soon as you're eligible.

It's so nice to see my favorite people from back in the day returning to VJ now that they're at lifting conditions stage!

WOW!! Good to see yu too - I kinda forgot I'd be in the smae boat as all those people 2 years ago be interesting to see how many return! Seems like your stil a whizz at answering questions.

As usual mine is not an easy scenario!! We are currently in VA so I think we still apply to Vermont (?) but we will be moving in May and don't know where are possably won't until March time. The visa 'runs out' June 27th so when should I start the process? Also do you have to return the card while you have conditions removed?

Great to see you - hopefully I'll get time to have a looky around the board - things are hectic right now! No change there then!

Take Care

Well, in this case, we were lucky to get AOS approved really fast back when we filed, so G's card expires mid-January and we've already sent the packet and gotten the NOA back.

That's a mess! We're moving in a month or so also (bought a house) and trying to decide what to do. But we don't plan to travel until May or June at the earliest anyway, so it's less crucial.

You don't send the card with the original application, but some people get NOAs that ask them to send the original card, which is actually good 'cause it's some sort of pilot program to approve you faster without interview. I think it's Nebraska/California that are doing that (I believe most Nebraska I-751s are being sent to California).

Don't know what to tell you about the move, it seems like your move is long after your date to start (if my math is right, March 29 is the start of your window) but right before you'll travel. If I were you, I'd file by March 31, to give yourself the greatest possibility of getting the NOA before you move. What concerns me is possibly not getting an interview notice, the new card, etc. *shrug* I'll probably notify TSC and the local office as well as Kentucky, but who knows if that'll be enough?

Well talk about rubbing my eyes here - I've not seen a whisper of you pair for such a long time. Err, not that I come on that much anyway - I just peek in once in a blue moon. Just peeked in now to let those that still remember me that Wyatt has his long awaiting date for his operation - 19 Dec !!

Oh, that's great! I hope everything goes smoothly for the both of you!
