Can I travel abroad with extended Green card?

[VisaJourney2011 14]

Hello guys,

Background info:

I am currently in process for Removal of Conditional Residency.

I have completed the below steps:

1) Applied i-751 in late Feb 2014.

2) Received 1 year extended stay letter (Expiring around April-May 2015)

3) Completed biometrics appointment.

From what I have read, it takes about 6 months to get the ROC approved. 6 months from now would be September 2014.

I plan to travel abroad around November or December of 2014.

My Q's:

1) What paperworks do i need to get ready for traveling abroad in around Nov/Dec 2014?

2) Can I travel with just the extended stay letter (extended green card) from above #2?

3) Do i need to apply for travel documents? What is a travel documents? any info, link please.

Much appreciated !

hopefully you will get approved before that. but in case you didn't get approved by then you need;

your expired GC with the original extension letter . good luck

Most people do not realize that the airline you choose to fly has a lot of power in this situation. Unable to board the aircraft, unable to return to the US. Please check your intended airline to make certain they accept the expired GC and the extension letter. Most major carriers do. This is one time where trying to save a dollar or hundred may cause issues when trying to return to the US.

Hopefully you will have the new GC by then.

Good luck,

Dave

Ok so I DON'T need to apply for reentry travel document as long as my extended green card is valid?

Correct. Check with your airline as that seems to be where the problems in traveling with the extension letter and an expired GC have occurred. CBP has a computer that can pull up your immigration file. The airlines do not. Most understand this situation, but it is a nonstandard situation and if not properly trained the airline employee can give you all kinds of grief.
