Traveling abroad returning near or after our 1 year extension expires

[LSnBigBear 61]

My wife and I are thinking of going to the Philippines November 2016 thru March of 2017. I have a concern with the current timelines as her one year extension we just received last week dated March 3rd will expire maybe 2 to 3 weeks before we would like to return. Do we do advance parole or how to proceed? I really do not want to come back in February as I will freeeeeeeeeze lol

Thanks for any advice

It will still be valid, you couldn't get advanced parole even if you wanted to. Aren't you worried being gone that long....that you will get and miss an interview date while you're gone? The petition would automatically be denied then she would be refused entry at the border.

The interview may well be scheduled during your proposed time away. Might need to reconsider your plans for the upcoming winter.

That sounds dangerous! What if she can't get back in the country due to missed interview?

It's took us almost 9 months to get 10year green card after we filed and that was with no interview. So since you have already filed you might have it by then and you might not.

From my recent travel, using the expired card and the extension letter, I learnt that the the extension letter speaks to extending the validity of the green card,using the green card expiration date, and NOT the date of the NOA. That means the extension is one year from the date on the green card.
