Travelling with expired green card/I-751 NOA

[chiggins 0]

Hi all,

My wife and I are in the process of preparing our I-751 packet to apply for removal of conditions on my green card, and we're planning on sending it this week. My parents are planning a vacation in Canada for August, and we were thinking about driving from Michigan over the land border crossing to visit them. My card expires at the end of March, which should give the USCIS plenty of time to send the NOA. I've read that you can use your expired green card and the NOA (as well as my British passport) as proof of residency when returning to the US until the I-751 is approved and your new card arrives. Has anyone had any experience with this? Any troubles, or anything I should be concerned with? I'd like to know if it's going to be a big hassle getting back into the US before we start making travel arrangements.

Thanks!!

My wife and I went to Canada to visit her family over Christmas. Crossed at the Peace Bridge in Buffalo/Ft. Erie using her expired GC, Canadian Birth Certificate(her passport is expired), and NOA1 from the I-751 with no problems.
