travel after i-751 approval

[cathedral2408 0]

Hello All. My i-751 case status changed to new card is being produced. But I have not received any letter in the mail yet but I am supposed to travel tonight internationally. Will I have any issues travelling back to the states with just my expired green card and extension letter or are they automatically cancelled because my i-751 is now approved but I just don't have my green card yet?

 

I have the whole day to find out if I should travel or not so I would really appreciate your responses. Thank you so so much!

If the extension letter is still unexpired as of the day you return, I would use that for this travel.

You'll be fine with extension + expired GC. Go travel

Is your extension letter expired (ie. past the extension date)?  If not, the airline should still accept it for your return flight.

Hello. It is not expired yet. It is still valid until October 2022!

Thank you! I was just afraid that my expired GC + extension letter would automatically be useless once i-751 is approved. I am really clueless and scared with these kind of situation haha

Then you can go ahead with your travel as long as you return before the letter expiration on Oct 2022.

Thank you. I got paranoid cause someone told me yesterday that the airline may deny me boarding if they see on their system that my i-751 is actually approved.

Airlines don't have that information.

Oh okay! Is there I should be worry or should know about when entering the US? I have global entry (if that matters). Will CBP give me a hard time with expired gc + extension letter if they see my i-751 is approved? Sorry to ask so many questions. Just want to make sure I touch all my bases

You won't have any problems entering with the extension letter.  You are a legal resident.  It might take you a few more minutes for them to check the letter.  I don't think you can use GE as usual this entry.
