I would like my wife to join me on some out of the US travels. 

 

Is it possible for her to travel with me, while we wait for the AOS Green card? 

 

Secondly, she lost her actual green card so I assume that precludes any traveling, but is it possible for her to get a replacement green card while we wait for AOS.

 

thank you

Your post is confusing.  Please clarify.

 

How can your wife be adjusting (AOS) for a green card and have lost her actual green card at the same time?   

Are you confusing removing conditions on her 2 years green card with AOS for a green card?

Just saw your other post.   Your wife is removing condition on her green card, not going through AOS.

 

Since it has been over 20 months since she filed for removal of condition and her 18 months extension letter has expired, she needs to make an Infopass appointment and get an I-551 stamp.  

IMHO, she shouldn't travel out of the US until she gets her 10 years green card.  It's weird that her ROC is taking over 20 months.  The worst case scenario is being outside the US and getting a denial for her ROC.   Better to be in the US if her ROC is denied.

Nope, do not leave the US. No green card = no boarding on the return flight. When did she lose the GC? She should have filed I-90 as soon as she lost it. I-90 can take a long time to process. No replacements or temporary cards. Only thing you can do is get the I-1551 stamp in her card. But she'll need the I-90 receipt notice to get the stamp.

yes it is removing conditions....sorry balancing many things, and having to figure out how to solve the nuances of my wife's immigration status, and trying to chase down her green card. I think she left it at the immigration office when she went for her biometrics. 

 

thanks, she is just perturbed with me being able to travel around, and she has to stay home :) I do want her to come with me.

Traveling with a stamp is not an issue
