I haven't been on this site since March 2009. And it's now time to renew my Green card (I-90), and I just finished filing it online.

 

My concern is the processing time. My current green card expires next March and I have my sister's wedding to attend in May which is in the UK.

Will I be able to get back in the country with an expired Green card? I have read about making an appointment with local USCIS office to get an I-551 stamp.

Hello! .. I know you are applying to renew your 10 yr green card... Although our situation may relate.

My wife filed for ROC to renew and recieve her 10 yr green card Dec 2016.  She recieved her I-797 NOA conditional resident status 1 year extension letter Jan 2017. 

We left the US for vacation to visit her family in China Nov 2017. We took the extension I-797 NOA letter and her expired green card. We had no issues re-entering with that document other than maybe a few extra questions. I think the officer threw more of a fit for not having her decloration form that everyone needs to enter the US. 

 

In Dec 2017 we went to our local USCIS feild office in Chicago to get a 6 month extension since the I-797 extension was set to expire Jan 2018. This extension is a temporary I-551 certified stamp in her passport. This too would have allowed her extension for employment and re-entry into the country if we left again while the I-797 extension had expired. 

 

It wasnt long after getting the 6 months extension she recieved her card in the mail. 

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the replies. Appreciate it. I have another question if I may. 

 

They have scheduled me for my biometrics on November 23rd, Black Friday. I know that's its not a holiday for everyone, but just want to be sure that the ASC is going to be open on that day since I have a 3 hour drive to get there. Waited on hold for too long using the 800 number.
