I-797 extension letter

[luukee 19]

Hello All,

 

I just wanted to double check with you guys, but the I-797 extension letter only says "your conditional resident status is extended for a period of 1 year"  - This is the only letter that we need to travel with an expired  CR1 VISA correct?  is there any other letter or forms? attached is a screenshot of the letter.  

 

Also, on this letter the REceipt number is different from the new number that they give you after you're assigned a biometrics appointment,  Should we bring both just in case, sine this original number on the extension isn't the same one that lets us check the status of the case

 

thank you so much guys

This original letter, and your expired green card are all that's needed to check in for a US flight, and presented at POE.

I agree with @WeGuyGal, but I would add one piece of advice.  Make some copies of the letter, one time my wife was checking into her US bound flight in Beijing and the airline staff asked to keep a copy of the extension letter and you do not want to give them the original.

 

Good Luck and Safe Travels!

Hi everyone:

I would greatly appreciate your help.  My wife is planning a trip to visit her family in Finland next month in July, 2018.  She received a two year conditional green card and applied for removal of conditions at its expiration last year.  She received form I-797 which theoretically extends her green card for one year (through October 2018).  However, I am wondering if she will run into any problems when trying to return back from Finland?  She has a flight  on KLM from Helsinki with change of flights in Amsterdam to Seattle.   Has anyone been stopped from boarding  with KLM either from Helsinki or Amsterdam when travelling with an extension letter?  We are wondering whether she might have to cancel her flight to make sure she is not stranded abroad.

Anyone else's experience would be greatly appreciated.
