Green Card expires before Oath

My GC might expires before I can take my Oath and I need to travel international the week of the expiration date. Is there such thing as getting a month extension on the GC?

Not that I know of. In the past, I think you could get a stamp in your passport if you applied for a card renewal but not sure if they still do that. Would schedule an infopass appointment and ask an agent in person.

Yes, they still do sometimes in the form of a sticker on the back of your GC. One of my relatives got his GC extended for six months at biometrics after applying for I-90. It would have been better for you to ask them to do this while getting your fingerprints taken for N-400. I'm not sure but since you're in the process for USC they probably do this at infopass for you as well.

You need a valid GC at all times and you also need to surrender a valid GC at oath so you need to get this fixed.

I had my infopass appointment this week and after explaining my situation (international travel while my N-400 is been processed and GC expiring soon) the officer rubber stamped my passport and gave me a 1 year GC extension.

Thanks for sharing the outcome of your appointment, stinke.socke. I'm sure this thread will be helpful for any other people who have a similar situation to you in the future. Hope your case gets processed soon, so that you won't have to worry about GC validity anymore.
