Filing for I-751 and Travelling Soon

[familytime 0]

I am sending the I-751 packet today (90 days in advance to expiry of conditional GC) for my spouse. My spouse needs to travel (It's a must travel kind situation) on Sep-18. Is there enough time to get the GC Condition removed? If not what do I need to do so my spouse can enter back after 2 weeks of overseas travel.

Thanks a lot for all the help.

It'll be HIGHLY unlikely that your spouse's ROC will be approved in the next 2 months as it's currently taking around 6+ months for approvals. But, your spouse can still travel. They just need to bring their green card and the ORIGINAL (it cannot be a copy) NOA letter (which extends the status of the green card for one year). The NOA letter will be sent after USCIS receives their petition, makes sure nothing is missing/incomplete, and cashes the check. As long as they have those two things (green card + NOA letter), they'll be able to travel back into the US. They'll also of course need their passport to travel to the other country.

I just traveled to Canada last month on my expired green card, but I had my original NOA letter with me and had absolutely no problems when returning into the US.
