Hello guys,

I sent my paperwork a little ways back and got my NOA from the USCIS (so glad everything turned out okay). But now I'm wondering how to make my travel happen.

I'm visiting my folks for Christmas (haven't seen them in 2 years) but my Green Card expires exactly on the day I leave so on my return to US soil one week later, my green card won't fly.

I'm assuming that I need to carry the green card AND the NOA to prove that I got an extension but I'm thinking it's a good idea to get confirmation, maybe through somebody who went through the same experience. Carrying the letter around with me is what seems to make the most sense to me.

Regards

cometaj

OH, yes, my friend and his wife (she's Indonesian) accompanied me to Jakarta in June. When we returned, she was in the same situation WITHOUT her confirmation. They were hassled for about 3 hours at the LA airport, and it was her drivers license, other documents, plus he was with her, and a supervisor's intervention, that allowed her to come in. They've been married over 3 years.

They wanted the original receipt showing pending + her expired greencard.

You need both the card (expired or not) and the extension letter. Both were checked when I went through the PFI in Halifax.
