Thanks for sharing the experience. You're never asked for GC / extension letter when leaving the US unless using GC for visa free travel to countries who rely on it.

 

It's good you had original with you when travelling back. Most of the issues arise with airlines denying boarding US bound planes.

I also have an original extension letter but UNluckily enough the part that says "your GC validity has been extended for 48 months" is barely readable. I was wondering if traveling with that as well as a copy would be ok?

Any idea if it’s possible to travel woth a copy of the notice of action i797? My lawyer mailed the original to me but on the back it wrote “shred”

No one has to accept a copy.  See page 10 of 92:

Can it be only the first page out of two?

If the notice has two pages, then it is two pages.
