Is the NOA that extends the validity of the green card the same letter as biometrics appointment?

Hi everyone, my husband and I have a trip back to his country coming up, but we're a little confused about something. I mistakenly booked our return flight to the US on the same day as his conditional green card expires, so we'll need to have the original copy of the NOA receipt that will be sent to us once we submit our documents to remove conditions. But my question is, is this letter (NOA receipt) the same thing that will give him his biometrics appointment? I ask because we'll need to reschedule his biometrics while he's not in the country (obviously--though this logic is lost on USCIS!), but I don't want to mail the biometrics letter back to the US to reschedule if he's going to need it to get back into the country!

Can anyone help clarify this? Thanks!

No. The extension letter is the NOA1. The first notice you get when you apply for ROC. It says on the notice of acceptance that it serves as the extension.

Thanks... and then the biometrics appointment should come separately?

Yes usually about a month after you would get it.
