Got it. Did you ever travel with the second extension letter (after first denial)? Or you got a stamp right after the new filing

Btw - how long did it take for your second I751 to be approved? Did it restart the whole I751 timeline? @Noname93

Got it. Appreciate your help. That's great to know. Thank you!

Got it - thank you very much. I read your prior post. Do you think it’ll be more insurance if I go and get a stamp like you did after the refile?

Yes I understand that, but do you know if USCIS would give you a stamp even if you have a previously denied I751 while the current one is pending?

I see thank you. You mentioned you have to get a stamp now - have you done it already? If so did USCIS give it to you while you have a denied I751 and confirmed that travel is ok? Sorry if I'm asking too specifically since I want to see if USCIS itself has indicated that a newly filed I751 and new green card extension overrides the previous denial.

Thank you so much! One more question, I didn't file I290b but instead refiled the I751 - in this situation is it still possible for me to receive a NTA at some point?

Have you had similar situation and done it before? To me logically the new extension letter should put my LPR status back in good standing but I'm not 100% certain since the extension letter says "this extension and authorization for employment and travel does not apply to you if your conditional permanent resident status has been terminated". And the denial letter for the first I751 did say it's terminated.

I did refile with the lawyer. I did ask them the question but I think they're trying to be conservative and not take liability so they "suggest me not to in the near term" without giving me valid reasons. I know it's kind of a gray area but I'm just wondering if anyone had similar situation and has actually done it and it worked. I have family overseas so thinking of an emergency situation.

I initially obtained a 2 year green card through marriage with a US citizen. We're still married to date. In early 2023 I filed my first I751 and received a 48-month green card extension letter, which extends my green card through 2027. I traveled many times with my expired card and the extension letter and it was fine. Last month I received an I751 denial letter because apparently earlier this year they sent me an RFE but I never received it and I didn't respond so they denied it based on abandonment. I didn't receive an NTA. I hired a lawyer and considered the options to either file motion to reopen or refile I751. We eventually decided to refile given what the USCIS website says "If USCIS receives a Form I-751 following the denial of a Form I-751 due to abandonment (resulting from, for example, a failure to appear for a biometrics or interview appointment or failure to respond to an RFE or NOID), USCIS adjudicates the new Form I-751 separately from the prior denial." After refiling, I received a new 48-month extension letter, same as what I received after the first filing. My question is - does the new extension letter override the termination from the first denial so my LPR status is in good standing again? can I now travel out of country and come back with the expired green card and new extension letter which extends it through 2027?
