Hey there! I have an expired green card and had to fly to the UK on a legal matter. I applied to renew GC, and will receive a biometrics appointment notice, just awaiting for it to come. Will my passport, expired green card and the letter be enough at this point?

Did you receive a receipt after submission?

So just an update. I travelled from London to Boston as a connecting flight to Portland OR, with my expired green card (expired over the 24 month extension), with the I-797 receipt notice in hand. Officers were extremely diligent and friendly in questioning me and sent me to a room to await for my issue to be resolved. All I can say is I have not had a more pleasant experience with the Boston CBP. I was permitted in. Thank you again and headed for my biometrics appt!l

Thank you for returning with your happy report!  Your experience reinforces the wisdom of carrying everything possible with you, to help CBP determine who you are and what your status is.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).
