Hi everybody!! I would like y’all opinions please! I know you can’t know for sure what’s going to happen but just wanted to know what y’all would do. I’m a September 2017 filers, still pending, last notification April 2018 “case received at my local office”, no interview, nothing...extension letter expired so I got an i551 stamp earlier this month.  Now I want to go to France to see my family all December, apparently people have no problem traveling with the stamp even tho it is kinda worry me, but I’m scared if for some reasons there’s a problem with my case while in France & they refuse to let me re-entry... do y’all know if it happened to someone already? Of course that’s the worse case but we never know. My neighbor will check my mailbox every 3 days so I might come back earlier if I got updates, but I don’t know if it’s possivle to be denied without warning. Would u leave for a month while your case pending? 

Thanks!

Traveling with stamp or extension letter it's absolutely safe, been here, done that. If uscis will invait you for interview when you are still in France it's okay, usually they send invitations 2-4 weeks before interview and you can come back. If they will approve your case when you are overseas, it's also okay, I saw bunch of similar stories here and everything was fine. Good luck! But hope we all will get our cards before Christmas:) oh and btw I would recommend to sign up for USPS informed delivery app, so you can exactly see what in your mailbox every day.

Completely safe. I just got back from a trip overseas with my extension letter that was about to expire. (He didn’t even look at it, it must be in the system) And I’m going to again for Christmas. They wouldn’t deny you without first sending a rfe or inviting you for an interview. And as the previous poster said, that would give you a few weeks in advance.

Yeah just like other posters have mentioned in their response to you, it's not a problem at all to travel on extension stamp or letter as the customs at the POE are used to it and sees it every now and then. I have traveled twice to Africa on extension stamp twice and came in through different airports without any issues. Planing to travel next month and January also on extension (if my 10 year green card isn't approved by then)

Hi! Where do you check?

Hello. I use an app called "USCIS APP" that lets me track and search 10/20/50 nearby cases. It is avail on the Google App store. I assume that Apple would have something similar.

I suggest that you sign up for "Informed Delivery" by USPS so you know what would be coming into your mailbox. You can also place a a vacation hold and they would keep them til you get back from your vacay. More info at informeddelivery.usps.com

Thanks! Just did it, I checked 30 cases before & after mine, 9 got “transfered & new office has jurisdiction” & 1 got approved. So it definitely moving for September filers, slowly but surely! I’m EAC17354

Nice! I know that VSC applications are moving much faster than us here at CSC. Hope to hear good news from you soon!
