expired GC and NOA

[ikyang 1]

hello guys.

i received my biometrics appointment letter the other day and i am scheduled this Feb 12 at 10:00 am

My question is, i am planning to visit my family in the Philippines this march 08 and my GC will expired March 08 too but i have my NOA1 already. Do i need to get my passport stamp? is my expired GC and NOA letter enough for travel? or there's any other things that I need?

The 1 year extension on your NOA and your expired Greencard and a Passport are all you will need for your trip home.... if your Passport is still in your maiden name you will need to book your tickets in your maiden name and also take a copy of your marriage certificate with you...

NO

You will receive a notice of receipt for the form stating that "Your alien card is extended one year - employment and travel authorized". Keep the receipt with your green card. If by some chance you are not approved within a year you will want to make an InfoPass appointment to go to your Local Office to request an I-551 stamp in your passport. This does happen as it sometimes it takes over a year to be approved. After your NOA extension expires, this is your only evidence of legal status which you are required to have, by law. This happens occasionally, that a case takes over a year, but it's rare. Local Offices will not give an I-551 stamp is you have another type of evidence of status (ie, expired Green Card + extension letter).
