I filed my I751 packet last week as my conditional green card is expiring 9/28. My wife and I have a vacation planned and booked in Mexico between 10/2-10/9. I've been seeing a lot of different information on people travelling with expired green cards and their extension notice to enter Mexico without a visa. My question is: Since I hold a Schengen passport (Hungarian passport) there is no visa required for tourism. Am I correct in understanding that the expired green card + extension notice is not relevant in my case as I am gaining visa free entry through my valid, unexpired passport rather than from being an LPR? The green card and the extension notice would only need to be presented when entering the US. Is this a correct understanding?

Sending out the package today via FedEx. Packet ended up being over 450 pages, most of it being financial records from banks and similar institutions.

I will be filing my i751 packet on July 5th as my conditional green card is expiring on September 28th, 2024. Planning on going to Mexico for a week long vacation with my wife in early October. Will I receive the extension letter prior to that and is it safe to book the vacation now? I will be entering Mexico with my foreign passport and have no visa requirements.
