On another note, customer service also told the California center are currently viewing cases filed on 31 May 2016. 

I wonder, what happens with your file before it gets on the table of IO? Just sitting there waiting for previous months applicants to be reviewed? 

All immigration related files are adjudicated and processed according to priority dates. So yes it sits and waits to be adjudicated when current.

The online status thing is a glitch and it's very unreliable in many situations. You should take it with a grain of salt. You're still a Lawful Permanent Resident until your I-751 is adjudicated and you are of course free to travel. Just a very small number of airlines might be unfamiliar with it, however; it's easily resolved. CBP officers are quite familiar with those documents so nothing to worry about.

Thank you!

My first time using the letter was after a cruise in February with no issues.  This week I returned from Canada (using the Nexus lane in Detroit) and had the grumpiest agent I've seen in a while.  She questioned the letter (i.e. doubted it was an original) and we got many more questions than usual about personal experiences (a friend was driving me to the airport, and we had questions about how we met, etc.).  I think she really wanted to find something, but all was still fine. 

 

Hopefully, my travels continue that way...I have several more trips planned over the next months

I traveled from Cancun, Mexico back to the US yesterday with an extension letter. Everything went smoothly, except for the fact that I was not able to check in online (I flew with Delta). The system kept saying that my green card expired and didn't give me an option to check that I had a I-797.

Just chiming in with our travel experience, my husband (the green card holder) went to Bulgaria for 4 days a couple weeks ago & entered with expired GC & NOA extension letter. I was worried but everything went fine (entered at JFK).

Went to India on vacation for 4 weeks and returned to the US yesterday. I had no issue entering the US with an expired GC and an extension letter.

 

Port of Entry: Chicago.

 

CBP officer asked me the following questions:

1) What was the purpose of travel?

2) Was there any issue in getting your conditional Green Card? 

3) When did you get your GC?

4) When did you file petition to remove conditions on residence?

5) Are you still married to the same person?

Immigration Journey

 

  • On L-1B visa for about 1.5 years before getting my F1 visa.
  • F1 (2 years) to OPT (6 months) to H-1B (8 years; Had an approved I-140 and extended my H-1B beyond 6 years) to Conditional GC (3 years 3 months) to Permanent GC.
  • I had earned 40 credits in Social Security, submitted I-864W when filing for I-130.
  • Husband and I are both Indians by birth. Husband became a naturalized USC in July 2014 and I applied for AOS in August 2014.
