Can I travel while pending for I-751?

[Alchemist 0]

Hey guys:

As you've probably seen on this forum I was denied at my interview for my I-751 because my wife was still in vacation and she couldn't show up. For more details, see the other thread entitled "INS sucks" :-(

Anyway, at the interview they took my physical Green Card, you know the 2-year one. So now, all I have is a stamp in the passport saying that I'm pending for I-751. The stamp is valid until Oct '07. Does anyone know, can I travel with that stamp?Without my GC? I was denied at the interview, but I still haven't received any letter from them, so...Am I going to be able to travel while we are going to reapply to I-751?

Thanks guys.

A.

It depends what your stamp says....if it says it is a 'temporary I-551' like I got, the I-551 is your green card. When I went to an infopass appointment to get the stamp to extend my card, they also took my card, so all I have is the stamp in my passport. If it is that stamp, you are supposedly fine to travel, as it equates a 'temporary green card.'

One person on here had his stamped passport expire, and still just had to travel with the old passport (with the stamp) and the new passport (without) and didn't have any trouble.
