I have somehow managed to lose my conditional green card (CR1 path). It expired 1/2025. I do have the I797 (48 month extension letter) and completed biometrics on February 3rd.

 

In order to still travel what do I need to do? We cancelled our international flights when I realized I lost the card (the night before) with fear of not being let on the return flight. However I do cross the Canadian land border regularly to see my family. 


Do I need to file an I-90? I doubt they will issue an expired card?

Do I need an ADIT/I551 stamp? and if so, do I need to file the I-90 to get that stamp, or will the I797 be enough? Will they issue one without proof of upcoming travel dates?

USCIS will not issue an expired card.  You should make an appointment with USCIS to get an ADIT stamp.  No I-90 is required.  Your extension letter is worthless without the expired card.
