I have just read that they wont stamp your passport for about a year after I-751 submitted, is that

true?

So people travel with just a NOA and expired Green Card. Yet I heard Nebraska ask you to return your expired Green Card, so I would be travelling with just a NOA.

I am paranoid that they wont let me back in the US next year when I travel.

Travelling with your expired green card and your NOA extension letter should not be a problem at all. I just came back from a vacation in Scotland (my home country!) and had no problems at all upon re-entry in Houston, using my expired green card and NOA extension letter.

I think that if your I-751 processing takes longer than your 1 year extension letter is valid for, then they will stamp your passport, but it is unlikely that this will happen. Don't worry! :thumbs:

I remember seeing a post on here that Nebraska has asked for someones expired Green Card. My card expires in Oct 2007 and I would be travelling July 2008, I doubt I would have my 10 yr green card by then.

If your GC expires in Oct 07, then you'll be filing the I-751 in July 07 - 90 prior to expiration. Surely, you'll have your GC within a year of filing. If you do not have it by then, get an I-551 stamp in July 2008. That'll work for travel.
