@dilip oh okay, I can handle that. I thought you had to stay in there for a while or that they made it hard for you. I guess I’m gonna enjoy my vacations then. Thanks for letting me know! 

I recently got back from india. Had to wait for 10 minutes while they took my letter and expired GC somewhere. I was freaking out wondering if the guy was going to lose my paperwork. Not a good feeling. Anyways got cleared and boarding pass was provided after that. Not sure what did they check but it took time for sure.

Hello Everyone,

 

I checked my account in uscis.dhs.gov and see that my case was approved. But if I go to the case status in egov.uscis.gov/casestatus, it still showing "Case received at local office" from February.  Should I be worry?

Oh god that’s scary... I’m planning to go in March but really hoping I get the approval letter soon. Did you travel with your 18 month extension ? I am a bit worried...  im glad you were cleared and hope you had good trip.

Returned from an India trip about a month ago. Airport experience detailed here, nothing major to worry about imo.

 Hi @cj777, I’m planing to go to Latin America with a few friends for vacation in February but I have an extension letter as well. Can you please tell me why you had a terrible experience and decided to wait for the green card? I’m kinda scare to leave without having an actual gc. Thanks!

Well, i was travelling through Lufthansa. I reached the destination without any issues. When i was travelling back, they said i will not be able to travel since Lufthansa does not allow you to travel to US through Germany with the extension letter. they did not allow me even though i explained the situation and i was travelling with my baby as well.. since i had to reach US the same day i had to book another flight and travel.

Wow, that's werid. Sorry to hear. I traveled multiple times with Lufthansa (Frankfurt Airport). No issues with the extension letter.

Country of nationality (passport) makes a difference.

That's why I prefer going with the stamp- even though I got both of the letters- 12month and 18month extension- I did make an appointment and got a stamp in my passport.

I had my official 12 month extension. Guy at the emirates counter was young and very courteous. He told me that they are fined for boarding a person who does not have valid visa to USA on a flight US bound.

What's the difference? 

Transit visa requirements are different while travelling on Indian Passport. Europe does not provide a long term visa for visitors either. Painful to transit or travel thru EU for me.

With an Asian passport and without an actual physical green card, Lufthansa may require a visa/gc to transit through Frankfurt. A pax with a European passport on the other hand may not be required to possess a US/German visa to transit and thus allowed through with an extension letter.

https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/ didn't update for me neither after approval. Just letting you know.
