You are correct.... the NOA is enough. But some people do get it and it is a matter of preference.....

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).

NOOOOOOOOO!!!! You shouldn't even think about leaving the country without your issue sorted out. The NOA specifically stated that this extension and the ability to work and travel does not apply to YOU if your conditional residency has been terminated. You already mentioned that your residency as at now has been terminated so you are in that group that the NOA extension does not cover. You said you've hired a good attorney and he has suggested you stay put so why do you want to do otherwise. In most cases, the NOA letter carries more weight than the I-551 stamp so I'll say forget about getting the stamp because you can not use it anyway. Once they pull up your info during the infopass, they'll see you don't have a "status" since it's been terminated so they won't stamp your passport. Just stay in the U.S and let your lawyer do his job and don't make things any worse for yourself. Good luck.
