traveling during ROC

[danlrob 6]

My wife's green card expires the end of March and we are planning to travel to the Philippine in April.  We will be filing for her ROC in the next week.  What do we need for her to be admitted back into the US?

 

Thank you in advance

You will need her green card, EXtension letter if you have it, and your marriage license if she still has her maiden name passport.

Extension letter do you have it?

 

We went to Mexico in December, Just had to show extension letter at Mexico airport and Expired GC to get ticket issued

 

Once we arrived in USA my wife had to go thru the NON US Citizen line since her GC was expired, and she wasn't allowed to use the Kiosk where you can scan yourself back into the USA.

She will need her expired green card, and the NOA1 from ROC  - this will have a notation on it extending the validity of the green card for one year.

 

Did you complete ROM and is her passport in her married name?

 

Air fare must be in the name on the passport, and if the name on the passport and green card are not the same you need to carry a copy of your marriage certificate.

 

Do remember when entering the Philippines - stay together, in the same line, so that you can get the BB stamp in your passport

The only letter we have is the one reminding her to file for ROC.  We will be sending the ROC packet in the next 2 weeks.  Her passport is still in her maiden name so she is ticketed in her maiden name.

 

Is the extension letter issued after they receive the ROC packet?  How long does it take to receive the extension letter?

Once USCIS receives the ROC packet they will mail out the I-797 Notice (NOA 1), not much different then when you filed the I-129F petition.  That NOA will have the extension within it.   Don't leave home until you have that NOA!

It seemed like it took about a month or a tad longer to get the extension letter in our case.
