I have just been informed that I will need to get a new Canadian passport prior to traveling to Turkey at the end of April. My application for the i-751 is also being sent out at the end of April. Will I have problems coming back into the country if I get a new passport, leave the US to go abroad, and then try to come back into the country PRIOR to sending the I-751???I am so worried. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I-751 form may be submitted within the 90 days prior to the expiration of your GC. When is the expiration of your GC? If by the time you return from getting your passport from CA, your GC is still not expired (and obviously within the 90-day prior to its expiration), you should be fine with traveling in and out of US.

If, though, your GC is already expired at that point of your return, it's a different story. I don't have a situation like yours but it would help if you read through the USCIS website about exceptions.

Here's a forum listing what happens when you travel while I-751 is still pending.

I think the safest bet is for you to at least have the I-751 NOA1 before you go around traveling during the expiry of your GC. Otherwise you need to be back before it expires and file the I-751. IANAL but that's what I'd do.

I don't understand what your passport has to do with the I-751.

Educate me.

You'll need a valid passport in order to be allowed on an international flight, such as one to Turkey.

You'll need a valid Green Card, or an expired Green Card with the extension letter, in order to be admitted to the U.S. again.

I still don't see the connection here.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

It would be easier to answer your question if you give us the expiration date of Conditional GC.

I hope you will like my country :)

sorry - let me clarify. I am basically leaving the US three times. Once next week to go Canada to renew my passport, then at the end of April to renew our vows in Turkey, and then to Canada again for a family gathering. My Greencard expires the end of July of this year and I am going to apply for the I-751 at the end of APril at the same time I depart for Turkey.
