Thanks so much, you all!!

I posted a similar question recently but want to be extra sure I'm not forgetting anything. I'm flying to Spain tomorrow to see my sick mom and returning in 2 weeks given everything goes well... I'm a Spanish citizen, married to a U.S. citizen. My 2-year green card is expired, but I have the I-797 Notice of Action showing the 48-month extension. I’ll be traveling with: – Spanish passport – Expired green card – I-797 extension letter (paper + digital copy) Is there anything else I should bring or do in case I have problems reentering the U.S.? Super anxious—thanks!

Thank you all :'(

Hi everyone, I’m a U.S. permanent resident whose Green Card expired in 12/2024. I have the I-797 letter that extends it by 48 months, so I know I’m technically still in status. But my personal situation is devastating right now. I’ve been on medical leave from work due to major depression, and recently my mother’s chronic illness and dementia have worsened drastically. I’m overwhelmed, crying daily, and all I want is to fly home (Europe) to be with her. I know CBP doesn’t make exceptions for emotional reasons, but I’m not overstaying or abandoning my status — I just need to go for a couple of weeks and come back. Questions: 1. Will traveling with the I-797 extension letter and expired green card be enough for reentry? Realistically. 2. Does it make a difference to go through a preclearance airport like Dublin? 3. Would traveling with my U.S. citizen husband help make my case stronger in case of questioning? I’m desperate for any realistic advice. Any experience or advice would be greatly appreciated 😭

Oh, but there is a comma between them... Aren't those two different things? Or is it i-751 UNDER abuse waiver, or something like that? That's why i was confused. I think (i thought?) it was a list.....

I have a pending I-751 (removal of conditions) with the 48-month extension letter in hand, and I need to update my address. When I try doing it through my.uscis.gov, under "Change of address" it says (among other things): “Do not use this request to change your address if: […] You previously filed a Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence […] “. So… how am I supposed to report my new address then?! Anyone been through this or know what to do? Thanks

not sure, actually. And because of that, I don't want to enter the wrong info

Phew!! Okay... Thanks for your response. Since it says "Required information before your flight", I thought this was a must do, but I'll just do it at the airport, then (international flight) .

Hey all, I need some guidance. I’m flying with American Airlines this summer and am having trouble filling out their online form. My green card says it expired on 12/12/24, but I have a valid USCIS I-797 Notice of Action extending its validity for 48 months. The problem? AA’s form doesn’t let me select a past expiration date like 12/12/24. I don’t want to get flagged at the airport for entering incorrect info, but I don’t see a way to reflect my valid status... Anyone dealt with this? How did you resolve it? Thanks.

Thank you all. You guys are amazing

Haha, good point! Will do, and thanks so muchhhhh!

That's the plan, @OldUser. And will do, @Crazy Cat. May I inquire why, though?

Yes, but I can file for N-400 ninety (90) days before my PR 3rd year anniversary, right?

I've seen this is pretty standard timeline, but... What to expect now? Just wait for months? Thanks! -Packet sent: Sep. 23rd, 2024 -I-751 received: Sep. 26th, 2024 (Priority Date) Sep. 26th, 2024 (Priority Date) -Notice of Action: Oct. 10th (48-month extension letter) -Biometrics Appt. Completed: Nov. 8th & “Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS” on MyUSCIS *Service Center: NBC

Hi! I was finally able to create my MyUSCIS account and saw that a biometrics appointment has been scheduled. Will they mail the appointment notice to my home? Also, how soon do they typically schedule your biometrics? I’ll be traveling internationally next month for two weeks and worry it might overlap. Thanks

Hi, I mistakenly used my own email when I created a MyUSCIS account for the I-130 case instead of using the petitioner’s. Now I’m trying to add a new case for my ROC, but it says my email is already in use. I’m considering creating a new account and using a different email for this paper-based case, but I’m worried it could confuse USCIS or affect my current case. Any advice? Thanks!

I just sent my packet. Now, time to wait ≈8 weeks to receive the I-797 by mail? Will I receive any notifications via email? Or, do I check everything on MyUSCIS Case History? I will, of course, be alert to my regular mail at home.

My heart almost dropped with your first sntence. So, "no", what? I mean, will I have any issues? Or will I be able to travel fine? I understand that if my flight gets changed, that might be an issue, and having the i 797 back up plan in hand would be more secure *If my flight gets delayed 3 days, that WILL BE an issue (not, might be)

I’m on a CR-1 visa and my green card expires 12/12/24. I’m traveling back home (internationally) in November around Thanksgiving break, and will be back just 3 days before my GC expires. I’ll file my ROC (Removal of Conditions on PR) on Sept. 23. Am I cutting it too close with the timing ? Will it be fine for re-entry...? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you for your input and feedback. I appreciate it

Well, now it's done and there's no way for me to fix it on time. I hope this doesn't raise unncessesary red flags

I remember now why we did it separately!!! I had foreign income from Canada and I did not meet the filing threshold, so I didn't file taxes that year. I will provide the Canadian tax document that reports the total employment income and deductions made throughout the year. Should I also include my husband's tax return for that year, if we did not file together? what's the best approach to address / submit this?

Yes, I did file married filing separately that year, but I am not providing that. I am not sure if I can get money back or not, but it's a hassle at this point and even if I do, it won't count for this bc it'll have a timeline too. Is it that important?

I know. We didn't file together that year bc we thought it was going to be more beneficial for us finantially. Turns out that wasn't the case. That is the reason why
