I think you may have mis-read the question as many people in the line for ROC travel regularly with an expired GC and extension letter, but the OP was asking if the Aruban authorities will allow visa free entry in this case.

 

To the OP, Aruba allows US LPRs to travel visa free, and just because the GC is expired you are still an LPR. You may want to call the Netherlands Consulate to make sure they recognize the I797 as proof of continuing permanent residency.

 

Good Luck!

I haven't, although I've travelled back and forth to Canada several times. If you have the I-551 stamp, you don't need the letter or your expired green card. The stamp is equivalent to a valid green card.

 

Is your timeline updated?

Hi,

 

any first hand experience of travelling to Caribbean islands like Aruba with i55 stamp on Indian passport since green card has expired and is under renewal and with i797 extension letter. Is there any visa required to enter Aruba ? As per their website, green card holders (temporary or permanent) do not need visa to enter. 

 

Thanks
