Recent travelers on I 751 NOA letter

[Scazy 78]

Hi guys! I was looking through the threads, but decided to crest a new one so we can share experiences on traveling while case is pending ( ROC) under new immigration policies in 2017. 

As I understand, the problem with admission can be for people from banned countries, but also any other travelers are now facing much tougher approach upon arrival in US which makes me worry about the idea of traveling with a pending case ( even through from my understanding, traveling with passport + expired GC+ extention letter should be fine) 

So I wanted to ask around people to share their RECENT travel experience, I'm getting anxious and wanted to clarify if it's safe or risky under current situation. 

Thsnk you

I will let you know in a couple of weeks as my wife is currently visiting her mother and her conditional GC actually expires today.  Of course she has the extension letter, but both of us are a little nervous that she may get additional scrutiny with her next arrival.  We shall see.

Thank you please do 

i called CBP today and was told expired GC plus extention letter is good to enter, no stamp needed. 

I also called Russian airlines, and been told they have no information about this. Was adviced to call airport hotline instead, which doesent make any Sence.

Ok, here's the update.  Katya came home yesterday traveling from Krasnoyarsk Russia through Beijing to Detroit (POE).  She told me that when checking into her Detroit flight in Beijing she had no issues and the airline (Delta) workers were very familiar with the extension letter, and she was checked in with no problems or delays except to verify the paperwork.  Upon arrival in Detroit, she could not use the self serve kiosk, but was sent to a different line where the CBP officer reviewed the extension letter along with her expired GC, and she was let in with no secondary visit.  All told, from the time of landing until she was through, it may have taken about 20 minutes with most of the time waiting for her bag after immigration.  She did have her bag scanned prior to exit, but she thought it was random, and they only scanned it, they did not search it.

 

All told, pretty much the same as one of her regular entires with her unexpired GC.

 

Good Luck!
