Hi All! I am filing my I-751 next week, but can I travel outside of the U.S. as soon as I receive NOA?

I saw other member's post about the "travel" topics and it seems like the answer is "Yes", but somehow I thought that I need to get a temporary GC stamp on the passport in order to go out side of the country...(?). What do I need to have when I travel ourside????

Option (1):

Your current valid unexpried foreign passport, the 2 yr GC and the NOA (this two must be together in order to be valid).

Option (2):

Your current valid unexpired foreign passport, the I-551 stamp on that passport (since you will have the NOA, your local office might give you a hard time when you ask them to stamp your passport, so I've heard).

Also,

If you happen to travel before the GC expires, then you don't even need the extension.

Yup! Also if the date that you leave US, GC is not expired yet, but the date that you come back, the GC is already expired, still need follow what jasminelily said.
