Hi all,

 

We are approaching the time when we will need to file our I-751, and I have two questions:

 

  1. I'm going to be leaving on a work trip on Monday, November 12th, and our 90 days till expiration is Sunday, November 11th. Do you think it will be OK to go ahead and mail our package on Friday, November 9th? Just don't want to get it kicked back for sending it in too soon. But I also don't want to wait any longer than we have to because...
  2. We want to visit my husband's family for Christmas. I'm not sure if we will get his notice that extends his green card for a year by the time we leave. Do you think his green card expiring in February would pose any issues with us traveling to and from Canada? It would only be for about a week.

 

Thanks all!

His 2 year GC will be valid when he travels for Christmas, thus the notice is not needed for travel.

  1. I'd personally wait until the 11th or after to send it. If it arrives 1 day early, they will reject it. I do think sending on the 9th would probably be fine assuming you don't get weekend delivery on it, but personally I would just wait the extra 2-3 days. Anybody can mail it for you, if you are concerned about not doing so yourself due to your trip on the 12th.
  2. You may also get an I-551 stamp in your passport to act as a green card for 1 year. This is obtained via an Infopass appointment. I'm not sure how willing they would be to do so with the extension letter arriving soon, but it is an option if it gets too close and thee is no letter yet.
    1. The timeline you stated indicates the card will still be valid for Christmas. SO no issue there.
    2. If the card were to expire and if traveling by land, they should allow you back in with the expired green card still. The green card is only evidence of your LPR status...they should still be able to see that you are an LPR and let you in that way. But I would avoid having to go through this, if possible, obviously.

Send it when you get back IMHO.
