Traveling with expired more than a year Green Card

[Pomodoro 32]

Hi all, I need to travel soon and my card is more than a year expired. Waiting on removing conditions for 10 year card. Can I travel with the  extension letter? How to get an infopass to a stamp on passport? Thanks.

It only matters whether your extension letter is still valid. If the letter is not expired, and you have expired Green Card, you should be fine to travel.

If you get I-551 stamp, they may take your extension letter and physical Green Card.

 

You should only get the stamp, if your extension letter is about to expire or already expired.

If you have a valid extension letter and an expired GC you will be fine.  Make sure you have the original watermarked extension letter to show CBP, but I suggest making a couple of copies in case an airline employee asks to keep one.

 

Good Luck!
