Traveling before green card arrives

[Orojen 0]

Here is my sad story.. back in oct 12th my aos was approved, quick easy interview... I told the immigration officer I needed to travel on dec 1st and she said: you will receive your green card in 3 weeks, you have nothing to worry about. YYYYessssss she was wrong. I have been calling them for 2 weeks because I have no welcoming letter, no changes in uscis website and no green card.

I made the infopass appointment for today and after driving for 2 hours my husband and i decided we couldnt go any further (we are in montana) because the road was so icy and the pass (mountain pass) seemed dangerous in such conditions. All I could do was call the phone number at the immigration office and left the message telling them my situation and asking them to please call me back or let me talk to someone because i need to travel and i have no proof of my status...

My question is what would happen if I go ahead and travel anyway... beside spending a long time at the port of entry, could they not allow me back into the country????? The officer at the interview said I am an offical resident since the day of the interview, is that true? does that count???? what can i do???????????

I'm sad, miserable and most of all very frustrated... please help!!!

Oh that sucks. Sorry about that.

Could be bad, I would advise against doing that personally. As you haven't got your welcome letter yet, leaving the country could be construed as abandoning your AOS, which would be very bad.

You need either the Greencard or the I-551 stamp to get back in the country.... if you dont have either then they will not admit you.... if you couse to go without either you will be stuck outside the US until you have one or the other... that could be just a few weeks or as in my case (card lost in the mail) 6 months....
