URGENT: Advice needed for international travel
I filed an I-751 application in Aug 07 to have the Conditions on my Green Card (through marriage to a US citizen) removed. I simulataneously filed an Advance Parole application for international travel while my application is being processed ( I was not aware that I didn't need to file Advance Parole).
I did not receive a Receipt Notice for the I-751, but only an Appointment Notice for this application to have my Biometrics done, which I completed in Sep.
When I tried to expedite my Advance Parole application, USCIS sent me a letter stating that I only need to get my passport stamped from the local office and can travel with this stamp and the I-751 Receipt Notice. I recently visited my local office and got the I-551 Stamp, which is valid for 1 yr. However, they took my Conditional Residence Green Card as it was about to expire and said it would be sent to the Service center where my application is being processed. I called USCIS Customer Service regarding the I -751 Receipt Notice, which I never received. However, they said they do not issue duplicate notices.
At this point, I only have a photocopy of my conditional residence card, the I-551 stamp in my passport, and the I-751 Appointment Notice. Could someone please advise if this documentation will be sufficient to renter the US after travel overseas. Will I be ok without the I 751 Receipt Notice?
Thank you.
