Good morning everyone! Pretty simple question...

ROC packet sent in within 90 days, got notice for biometrics, but wanting to travel in 3-4 months out of the country.

Is this possible? If so, what do I need to show immigration officer?

Thanks!

3-4 months MAY be enough time to get 10 year GC. It took us about 4 months to get my wife's last year. We had a trip planned and we were going to use the NOA1 extension letter, but the GC arrived in time so there was no need. I would check with the airlines you intent to travel to make certain they know about an expired GC and the extension letter--most major international carries do. We checked with Lufthansa and KLM and both knew about the extension letter. It will be the airlines that give you the most grief in this situation and not allow you to board the aircraft. CBP can pull up your immigration file and see the pending ROC.

Good luck,

Dave

I just double-checked my paperwork and I never saw an extension letter. All I received was an appointment for Biometrics. Does it come after that? Or am I missing the letter?

I wonder if there's a place online or a number I can call to request this document incase it doesn't come before we fly out.

Can anyone help me out?

Did you receive the I-797 which we here on VJ call the NOA1 that they accepted your file? Read that letter as it states that is extends the current GC validity for one year. You receive this BEFORE the bio appointment. If you did not receive this then you need to call the USCIS and get A Tier Two Human to resend it. You may also want to investigate why the letter was not received--i.e. does the USPS have your name at that address on file and is the name on the mailbox?

Good luck,

Dave
