Hi,
Some weeks ago I sent off my I-407. I left the US several months ago at this point and decided it was time to finally and formally give up my GC.
Then shortly after my new job told me they'd like me to visit the US in September and October of this year to meet the team there. The postal tracking for my I-407 hasn't been updated so I don't even know if the GC and the form got lost or if they are still on their way.. (should have been delivered by now). Either way, I have no confirmation.
The company had a quick chat with their lawyers and said I could try still applying for ESTA to see what happens. My ESTA got approved in a matter of ~2h -- everyone on this forum state that if I have an LPR status then the ESTA would get denied. The ESTA application didn't ask anything about current or previous legal statuses in the US.
Am I good to travel in this case or will the Border Control send me back? My passport does show that I was admitted as an LPR back at the beginning of the year (last time I traveled back and forth to the US). I tried to contacting the Border Control as well but no luck so far. (I am obviously not looking to remain in the US and can provide proof of that if needed; these would be ~4-5 day visits only.)
The lawyers and the company will also do some further research but I was hoping to hear if anyone has any first-hand experience.
