when you first send in your 1-751 they send your a receipt notice NOA-1 that letter is also your one year extension for your permanent resident card.then about 3 or 4 weeks later you should receive another for appointment for biometrics in 4 weeks in your local immigration center, when you get that letter try to do a early walk in biometrics after thats done you can traval. if every thing goe's well the back round checks in about 5 weeks hope the next letter should be NOA-2approval,

All the ducks have to be in a row.

Here's a thought. If you really want to travel in January and return in February and your existing GC is still going to be valid unitl March, then do so and THEN submit the ROC. Just so long as it arrives before your expiry date you are still good to go. I know everyone wants to get things done and over with when dealing with the USCIS, but this might be one case where waiting until you return is the better option.

Good luck,

Dave

Hi Dave! Well, it does make sense. If I do that I'll return to US around around 25 january, and 1 March is when it expires. I guess it's enough time to get it all done.

Ok I'll do that instead, thank you !!

Applying at 1 year and 9 months is perfect. My husband applied to remove conditions at 1 year 10 months and received a letter within 2 weeks that says, "your conditional resident status is extended for a period of one year (while application is pending). During the one-year extension you are authorized employment and travel." So, unless something is wrong with your application, you should get a temporary one year extension while your application is pending. It should come within weeks of receipt of your application. HOPEFULLY!
