I-797 NOA / Out of Country trip / Global Entry

[datdbdoe 2]

Dear members,

 

I received a letter confirming the extension of my GC for a period of 1 year -751.

I have an upcoming trip out of the country for two weeks, and I have a few questions:

 

1) Does DHS update the systems to reflect the new expiration date? or does all that I have to prove it is the I-797 NOA?

2) I hold Global Entry - 

a. Does anyone have any experience of GE + I-797 NOA where the plastic green card has expired already?

b. Do I need to contact Global Entry and update them somehow?

3) Are the airlines familiar with this notice? I am trying to avoid a situation where they will think my GC is invalid and I cannot board.

 

Thanks!

You can update the expiry date of your current permanent residency docs in GOES (click "Update documents" on the left after you log in), but I found on a forum elsewhere (link) that you won't actually be able to use the Global Entry kiosks beyond the expiry date printed on your green card as they read your details off the machine-readable zone.

 

I imagine PreCheck KTNs will continue to work, however.

You can't use Global Entry with an expired GC, but PreCheck will continue to work.

 

I tried using my GC, and the Global Entry card in the kiosks... it won't work.

Does Global Entry skip the CBP officer altogether? During my recent trips back to the U.S. I've been guided to the kiosks, given a printed document with my information, which I then give to a CBP official.

 

My wife said that the kiosks only scan U.S. passports and green cards and thus think people in RoC with the NoA1 letter aren't current permanent residents.

Yes, it skips the CBP officer, Global Entry kiosks are different from the USC/LPR kiosks. I can't go through Global Entry since my GC expired, so I go through the other ones and have to fill out a customs form, get the X on the printout, and go talk to a CBP officer to show him the GC and the letter.
