Hi everyone! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted here. I’ve had my green card for around 21 months, and now it’s time to submit I-751 for the removal of conditions. The form filling for this part seems pretty straight forward and easier than the original forms for K1 and AOS so I think I’m good there. However I’m struggling to find any clear information on travel restrictions while my petition to remove conditions is being processed? My question is this; my sister (back home in the UK) is getting married next summer, and judging by the current filing estimates my petition won’t have been reviewed/approved by then, so what are the travel restrictions while the form is being processed? Can I still travel on my green card with an extension letter? What else do I need?

Thanks in advance!

Nothing else. Expired GC + the extension letter are sufficient for international travel. I was surprised that even non-US airline employees were familiar with that and I had no issues boarding the plane on multiple occasions that I had to travel with the EL.
