0from the time you start the removing condition when can you go to visit your country on vacation?

Sorry guys, if this question, probably, has been already asked, but I want to make sure about the followings:

- in this coming October (2008) I I will be starting the removing condition process

- my 2 year green card expires in January 2009

- myself & my USC husband would like to go back to Italy (my country ) in February/March 2009

Do you think I will be able to go to Italy on vacation during the removing process & when my 2 year green card is expired, as I read that it might take even 1 year to get the 10 year green card?

Or right after I filled out & send the required docs for the removing process the immigration send pretty fast a paper or sheet valid to travel within the waiting time to get the 10 year green card & before the 2 year green card is expired?

I really appreciate your help.......this question is killing me........actually it gives me headaches........and it's only January..........I don't know when it's gonna be October..............

Thanks again!!!!!!

The NOA1 that you will get only a couple days after applying is a 1 year extension to your current green card, so you should be good to go to Italy!

it can take up to a month or longer to get the NOA...

but if you don't get the NOA in time you can always schedule an info pass appointment and try and get the I-551 stamp in your passport...
