The extension letter acts as a one year extension of the GC. No need to get a stamp.

I have read here on VJ that the USCIS will only give you a stamp if you lost the extension letter. Besides it is not the CBP person you need to worry about, it is the airline employees. So you could get an airline employee who has no clue that the stamp is a GC and not let you board or that the extension letter makes the expired GC valid for travel and not let you board. The airline employee at check-in did not check to make certain that I had the proper visa. So I was called to the gate counter for her to check my visa.

I would check with your airline and see if they understand about the extension letter. KLM and Lufthansa do as they list those as valid documents for re-entry to the US--we were travelling and my wife had not received her 10 year GC yet so I checked. All I am saying is that getting the stamp is not a guarantee that you will not have problems--only an unexpired GC will do that.

Good luck,

Dave

Extension letter is your current GC. It will be fine. They stamp your passport only if your letter is lost OR the letter is expired. Otherwise the letter works at all places. If u will search here on VJ then u will find many people who had traveled with extension letter.

NOTE: Make sure you carry your expired GC & Extension letter together.
