My husband's just got approved for his 10 yr green card but we haven't received it yet and we are planning to travel abroad on March 19th for two weeks. If by chance we don't receive the card by mail before we leave is he allowed to travel with his expired green card and the 1 year unexpired extended letter?

I would call and ask to be safe. Not sure if that letter is still valid since new card is approved. Maybe you can ask for an infopass appointment and get passport stamped to be safe? Either way I would call. I don't see you not getting new card by then though.

I agree with JamesSheila. And how long is your extension letter valid? Remember the validity is based on the date of the letter and not an actual year from the expiry of the green card.
