I accompanied my husband this afternoon to our local USCIS office today.

We were told that they wouldn't have to stamp his passport because he would just need to travel in and out of the country with the NOA.

I just hate for him to get into any kind of trouble.

I guess I would have to believe because we did speak to an immigration officer, but you never know.

Anyone been told the same thing??

My husband (non USC) has traveled at least 15 times out of the country with his expired GC, passport & NOA letter (he travels for work). Never any problems. One time he was taken to "secondary processing" where they looked at his letter again and then let him in.

Most FOs won't give you the stamp up until the letter is coming close to expire. However, if you lose the NOA letter, they would have to give you a stamp. I've also seen people having trouble with the DMVs to extend their DLs, I guess field offices in those specific states know the issue and give the stamp.

Traveling with the NOA is generally fine. 99.999% of ROCs won't have any trouble but here or there we hear CBP related issues. Mostly due to CBP agents being ignorant. I remember someone posted their bad experience at LAX airport few weeks ago.
