LPR applied for re-entry permit and never received it

Hello, 

 

I am a green card holder who applied for re entry permit while in the US in november 2019. I requested the document be delivered to the consulate in my home country. I did the biometrics then left the US end of December 2019. According to the online case status, my re entry permit was approved in April 2020 so technically speaking I'm allowed to stay out of the US for up to 2 years. Anyway so the case history shows that they tried to send to the consulate but for some reason it was not received and they sent it back. That was in August 2020. Now I have been in contact with my consulate and they said they haven't received it yet. My question is I need to travel to the US next week to visit my sick dad who is not allowed to fly under the current pandemic situation. I only have my GC and I have not been in the US since Dec 2019 (around 14 months in total). While I have been approved for the re entry permit, I never got the actual document. I do have the case history though that proves that I was approved for re entry. Any advice? Should I still try to travel? It's a long flight with my 1.3 yr old who is an American citizen. I am just afraid I would go all the way to the US to be sent back! Any advice would be appreciated?

In your shoes I would travel with the application history and show that to CBP. I am sure they will be reasonable about it, you didn’t do anything wrong in the process.
