greencard Traveling With an Expired Conditional Residence Green Card Questions

[Charlii&Rich 0]

Hello! 

Hopefully, I've put this in this in the right topic! 

 

Alrighty so firstly I have looked around and can't seem to find the answer to one of my questions. But info first, My conditional residency green card expired in June 2017, Sent out to renew it in April 2017. I did the biometrics back in June 2017 and what not and am in the waiting game phase atm which is fine. It looks like I won't be getting my new one for another 5 to 7 months (mine was sent to the California office) and my Extension Letter Expires in June 2018. 

 

So the issue I have is that I'm visiting my family in England from June this year to August meaning during my trip my extension letter will expire. I know I can get a I-551 Stamp well I think I can I've heard different things. I'm planning on doing that In May. But the problem I'm stuck with is my information for the flights. Because I have a British Passport it's asking me for my green card info which is fine buuuuut i can't complete it because the expiry date was June 2017 and that's not an option on there so I now have absolutely no idea what to do and can't finish the info needed. Do I get new info on the I-551 Stamp that I can put in instead? Do I need to call the airline? I've got no clue lol 

Also as a mini question lol for this I-551 Stamp do I need to do anything in particular aside from booking the appointment and bringing the usual/typical stuff? Like a certain form or payment?

 

Next Is mostly just an added question about whether anyone has used Iberia airlines before? 2 of my 4 flights are with them and I can't for the life of me choose my husbands or my own seats and I'm worried if we don't do it soon then we might not sit together (I always get stuck to the strange or scary people, no joke) So do I need to call Iberia or AA to help with that? 

 

I think that's all. Thank you for all/any help and answers in advance.

In the APIS, put your GC expiry date as the expiry date of your stamp when you have it.

It seems like, in your situation, you’d be best to get the I-551 stamp as soon as possible. The stamp should be good for another year. The I-551 stamp is essentially a green card, so you should be able to use that info to book your tickets.

We're still waiting from August 2016. 

 

You can typically get a I551 within 30 days of your letter expiring, unless you will be travelling, etc. during that period. When you get a stamp, it might be only extending your status for 6 months or a year. Once you have the stamp, I would enter the new date. In the meantime, you could try calling but I'm not sure they would be able to help as they need to verify your eligibility before they commit a seat to you.
