Hey guys,

My Conditional GC expires on February 1st 2013 and i'm planning to travel during the second week of February. I know I should carry my original extension letter with me. Will I be allowed back into the States with just that and my GC? Im scared :lol:

Thanks for your help guys.

The letter and the expired GC are all that is required to re-enter

yes, your green card and your extension letter will get you back into the US. Be sure to make several copies of both and leave a copy in the US and take the others with you plus your originals on your travels. If anything happens to your green card or the letter while overseas you are able to use the copies to obtain the necessary re-entry permits from the appropriate US Consulate abroad.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
