The old site was just updated to say that our new card was ordered and will be mailed. We're traveling to Argentina next week for a long booked visit for 2 weeks. We have the paper that extends the original green card and it is still valid. Are we safe to travel and re-enter with the original extension letter? I don't have confidence the card will arrive before we leave.

The approval letter says Do not travel while you are waiting for your card. But you can make an appointment to get your passport stamped for proof of permanent residency. 

I know it makes no sense since you have extension letter.

just get your passport stamped at your local office

I saw this post which makes me think that may not be necessary 

I'll try to get the appointment in time if possible. Happen to know how I can schedule one?  Thanks for the help!

You need to call and ask.

Well, they weren't helpful at all. Basically we can't schedule an appointment to get a stamp because our reason for travel isn't an emergency. It's our abuela's 80th birthday, but doesn't qualify as an emergency. Basically we can't travel until the green card arrives, which can take up to 60 days she said. We just got notified on the site that the approval letter is on its way. With our trip less than a week, I'm thinking we're going to have to cancel :(

So it’s safe to say I did get approved. Received letter in the mail (the address change worked) with approval.

 

The old site updated twice already and today it said the card was picked up by usps and the expected delivery is for Monday. 

 

After exactly 13 months I’m glad roc is over.

 

good luck to everyone still waiting.

Me too, I got approved!! Please add me to the list!

Did you get your card yet? I'm trying to see how quickly it comes after the site tells you the approval letter will be mailed. We're scheduled to leave country on Wednesday and just got approved today. I'm thinking we should reschedule for Sunday, but don't want to risk the card not getting here in time.

You can apply at anytime if you are eligible (continuous residence, resident for at 3 years and married to a usc for at least 3 years). If your roc is pending, they can’t approve the n400 but it can be worked on together, that’s what’s been happening
