Full Version: I-751 to be filed soon, need to travel overseas
VisaJourney.com > General Family Based Immigration Topics > Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

Mr. Big Dog
Okay, so we need to file the I-751 soonest on 6/16/07 and latest on 09/13/07. Come the end of September or so, Nani needs to travel home. Obviously, the I-751 won't be adjudicated by then. So, does one travel w/ old GC and extension letter? Has anyone any actual experience to share?

The NOA one receives after having filed for I-751 reads:

"Your alien card is extended one year employment & travel authorized."

So old GC, passport with old stamp and extension letter should cover it.

If one wants to be extra vigilant (as I would be in a case like that), I would try to get a new stamp for the passport. I don't know whether they do that, but it might be worth a try (InfoPass appointment).

GC plus extension letter is used all the time... not a problem in regards to entry into the US...

I don't think they are going to give out a passport stamp if you already have the letter. It seems like it is becoming harder to get a stamp even w/o the letter.

The letter will be fine for traveling. I know several people who have entered the US with it.

Thanks!

Hope it helps. I sent PM as well.
