TRAVELING WITH THE COPY OF THE GREEN CARD EXTENSION LETTER

[YuyuNYC 31]

Hi everyone,

we filed the I-751 on 10/13, and received two notices last weeks.

(1) USCIS account set up notice (issued on 10/19)
(2) Notice indicating that they can use our fingerprint in the system (issued on 10/19)

But when we checked the USCIS account, there's also the green card extension letter issued on the same day (10/19) which we still didn't receive it yet.

Does anyone know if we can request that notice letter to send to us again? Can we travel with the notice copy download from the USCIS account?

Thank you,
Yuteng

Even though they might have been sent on the same day, they can get to you at wildly different times, sometimes days to weeks. AFAIK you need the original notice to travel with your expired green card, but others might be able to say for sure.

Some people reported success travelling on a copy, but I highly recommend travelling on original letter. An airline may not allow you to board the plane to the US on a copy (and rightfully so).

 

It can take 4-6 weeks to receive original watermarked letter in the mail.

 

Looks you filed very recently.

 

If you don't receive it in the mail by mid November, I'd file a request

You're over reactive. The physical extension letter will be mail out later, not on the date you see it on USCIS account.
