Traveling on Greencard with Extension later and some other problems

[Josephin&Robert 4]

Hi, 

I filed for I-751 in 2022. 
I got an extension letter for my Greencard/ Residency that extends my Greencard until August 7th 2024.

Then just now my I-751 got denied after 2 years with the reason of it being filed prematurely. 
They said in the letter I should refile another I-751.
 

Which I did immediately. I filed a new I-751, on may 11th, but… what’s my status right now? 

Is the first Greencard still valid with the extension? 
 

I’m supposed to travel to Europe June 3rd - August 4th and I almost don’t dare to ask but can I even do that? 
would they let me back into the country?
 

I never thought there could possibly be problems but here I am. 
Thank you for your help! 

 
P.s. USCIS answers no questions.

The same as before - Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR). Only immigration judge can take this status away unless you sign I-407 voluntarily.

Technically yes, you can still travel as long as you have expired GC and new valid extension letter. Airlines unlikely going to treat you any different than travelling on original extension letter.

 

CBP may put you in secondary upon return and ask several questions before letting you back in.

Otherwise, how is the marriage?

Are you planning naturalizing?

If you are, you're eligible (besides I-751), and marriage is good, you can file for N-400. It may push your I-751 to be decided faster. It looks like you're from Germany, so citizenship maybe complicated. And obviously this is not a legal advice.
