My husband's I-751 letter of extension was staring to get pretty used despite careful protection, so we laminated it. 

 

A few days later I nearly had a panic attack wondering if we have invalidated it. I searched everywhere I can think of, including the letter itself, and nothing SAYS it can't be laminated that I can find. 

 

He's traveling in August internationally. Does anyone know if laminating the ROC letter is acceptable?

It was probably not advisable to laminate it, however I can’t imagine it causing too much of a problem when reentering. I saw a thread earlier where someone got through with a photocopy lol

I did go through immigration with a copy of it just yesterday in New York, traveling from Europe. If they want to check authenticity, I simply assumed they can always look up people in their system.

I mailed in my wife's i-751 packet on August 8, 2017 from California.  I presumed it would be processed at the California office, is this correct?  Any idea on turn around time?  I'm hearing 19 - 20 months, does that sound right?

Yes and yes.

 

FYI, assuming she’s eligible under the 3 year rule, your wife can file her N-400 while the I-751 is pending
