Finally got a biometrics appointment letter! No update in the online portal, but we received an appointment letter in the mail today for early December… just about 2 years from the day of filing. LIN (Nebraska Service Center) filer. No N400. One step closer…

My husband has traveled on it and will again this Christmas. It’s no big deal, other than the hassle of carrying the extra document. When you put your green card expiration date into any online flight stuff, just use your green card expiration date +4 years (assuming you have the 48 month extension letter). There are no airlines that don’t accept it. You’re still a LPR!

Interesting, could you please elaborate? Did this work for online check in? I was always worried putting expiration date as +4 years.

 

Did your husband have to show GC and extension letter to airline staff? Were they OK with discrepancy between expiration date on GC and what was entered online for expiration date?

Sandly there are very rare instances of airlines that denied boarding for LPR with GC and extension letter.  VJ has mentions of it.

Usually you can’t do online check in for international flights, but there is some sort of thing in the online portals for the airlines where you have to provide your identity information at least 48 hours before any flights to the U.S.? That’s when we used the extended green card date. I think I learned to do it that way because his green card was already expired, and they wouldn’t allow me to put and expired date. I was forced to use the “new” expiration date. I wouldn’t hesitate to put it in the online check in either, personally. But to each their own of course :)

 

Hubby doesn’t remember them ever asking to see the letter, but they may have at the check in desk. Those travel days are always a blur!

Thank you for the response. Air Canada and Lufthansa did not allow me since my home country passport requires transit visa and they needed GC card with future expiry date to board. Have to use different airlines and hopefully will be able to travel back to US without issues with the same airlines.

Yes, you always need to be mindful of the visas required for your passport at any country you will be traveling to or transiting though. The extension letter grants you the right to come home to the U.S., but not entry into any other country (or their airports).

Generally true. Few points:

 

* extension letter accompanied by GC

** GC grants visa free access to certain countries despite nationality. Example: Canada, Mexico

Apprently as of 2022 you don’t need the eTA to transit Canada by air as a green card holder anymore. Useful information I just learned (we had applied for my husband back in the era of Covid).

Not just transit, even enter. I confirm it works, as I visited Canada without visa or eTA.

Husband finally approved, just over two years waiting. No interview, no RFEs, no n400. Just did biometrics earlier this month.
