Hi there, 

 

I am travelling tomorrow to Canada for the weekend. 

 

I have my expired green card, extension letter of 18 months and my approved letter for I-751 which I received today. In the approved letter it is saying that you may not travel without your green card. What should I do?

 

Has anyone able to travel abroad with the expired green card and approved I-751 letter? Please advise!

It’s not a problem to travel as long as your extension letter is valid and you have your expired green card w it.

Hi:

If you don't have your card before you leave, take your expired card and letter with you and use them on your return. I don't think you'll have any problems re-entering the US. 

 

Edited to add: my wife was traveling when she received the 2nd extension letter. She used the first when she back to the US (since the 2nd was at home with me). She had no problems whatsoever with immigration when she came back here on Wednesday. They just asked her how long she had been out of the country, and commented how thin my wife's passport was.

okay. What should I tell the Canadian visa officer? Should I show him the extension letter and the approval letter and tell him that my case is approved but I haven't received my new card? 

 

Will I get denied entry into Canada, If he sees in the approval letter that "says do not travel without your new card"?
