Hi All,
It's been a little while since I've posted on here, but I need some guidance. My husband and I are leaving to visit his home country this week and we have not received a NOA/Extension of Stay receipt for his CR-1 visa.We had to file it later than planned due to some bills that needed to be urgently paid. Obviously, the USCIS team is being less than helpful because it's been less than 30 days since we filed his paperwork and we can't initiate a claim until it's been more than 30 days...

Is there anything we can do to prevent him being denied re-entry if the receipt doesn't come in time?

Why don't you schedule an INFOPASS appointment at you local field office?

We are leaving on Thursday, so I dont know that that is very realistic (the nearest office is in San Antonio)... I wish I would've known to make an InfoPass appointment sooner :(

If his condition green card is still valid, there is no problem with reentry. InfoPass won't help anything unless you have receipt number to ask for a I-551 stamp.

Ok, it took me a moment, but I believe you are talking about fling for removal of conditions, and have not received the NOA receipt letter that will extend his green card(not the visa) for a year.

If the green card will not expire before the trip and especially by the time he returns to the US, then all is well and it is fine to go and use it. If it will expire before the trip, then you need that extension letter first, or do not leave.
