Hi, all cool.gif It's been a long time. I'm afraid that I don't have any good news now. My status is still sitting tight so far. I don't receive any action, letter and email from TSC since 7th of July. Anyway I have a question. My GC expire is 2nd September 2007. We (My husband and I) are going to go to overseas, and live there for 4-5 years. Because my husband got order of government job. I thought I would receive my 10 year GC before leave U.S. But unfortunately it's hopeless right now crying.gif I have read I-751 instruction and USCIS website...but I couldn't find answer. Any advice and suggestion are highly appreciated.

My question is "Do I need to get passport stamp before my GC expires?".
And...would you tell me the reason too?

Thank you.

The NOA1 letter for the I-751 extends your conditional green-card status for 1 year, you carry the letter and expired green-card to allow re-entry from a travel over seas.

If your husband is in the employ of the US government, time living over seas is not counted against residency time for citizenship.

I would contact USCIS and see if living out of country while us citizen is working for the government would affect your LPR status.

Thank you for the replay and advice. I understand. I think I need to make an appointment and see (ask) the USCIS officer.
Thanks good.gif
