Travel with an expired GC

[Marc_us82 49]

Hey guys, I’m about to file ROC and my GC expires 9/13.

 

Background: I’m a Delta flight attendant and travel internationally a lot.

 

Question: I know I can still travel with the extension letter for a year, but does that mean I can still use the kiosk when I arrive back in the US with the expired GC and do I have to go through secondary every single time? And can I still use the crew line to expedite the process?

 

I ask this because it would not be ideal for me to spend a lengthy time at immigration every time I get back to the US from overseas.

 

thanks for your help people.

I don't know the answer to the crew line part, but I do know you can't use the kiosk. You need an unexpired GC in order to use the kiosk.

Ok, that was my fear. I will check with the other crew with a similar situation. Thanks for responding!

You will have to keep the original NOA extension letter with you AT ALL times. It can't be a copy.

Every time you would re-enter you would have to show your expired GC and the Extension letter.

So you would have to go through the line, can't use the kiosk.

Nope.

Yep. Maybe occasionally you won't, but that will be the exception rather than the norm.

I see no reason why not.

Thanks heaps! If I can still use the crew line and bypass the general public I guess I’m all set!

As long as you go through an actual officer who looks at your documents you're all set. Just no automated kiosks.
