Traveling prior to expiration

[lcirt 4]

We are going on vacation out of country for 6 weeks. My husbands 2 year green card will expire at the end of July and we are coming back end of June. We are leaving beginning of May. The I751 will be mailed in at the end of April since thats 3 months before it expires. Is there anything I need to bring on the trip to ensure we don't encounter any problems? Thanks!

He will need to provide biometrics, so that time line won't work.

So how should I proceed with this? Or what do I need to do?

Or can I request to reschedule once I get back?

You cannot reschedule after he misses the appointment, the case might be denied.

Once you get the biometrics request letter, you can try showing up to the ASC early to have it done, but you can't show up or reschedule before you get the letter.

Reschedule meaning to call before the appointment listed on the paper to request another date? Or is it better to send the I-751 after we come back since it still gives me a month before expiring? Or file end of May/beginning June to ensure he is here for the appointment they give out first?

 

Thanks for all the help!

If I were you, I'd wait until you're back and file. Then he'd definitely be here for the appointment, and you wouldn't be that close to the expiration date.

 

Good luck

Ok. Thank you!

As long as you return prior to the expiration date of the letter of extension and GC card, you do not need anything else except for the passport.  I hope you are not expecting to receive a letter to schedule Biometrics appointment, because you would not like to fail that appointment.  If not you are OK.
