Removal of conditions and vacation

Hey, 

The earliest date I may file Form I-751 is 08/18/2023. 

However, I am considering going to visit the UK after this date...is that an option? Or do I have to stay in the country until it's processed?

After you file I-751, you will receive a 48 month extension letter for your GC. So you can travel with an expired GC and an extension letter

They take a loooooong time to process, I am almost 2 years in and counting  You will receive a 48-month extension letter and are free to travel and continue working. Make sure to always bring your expired greencard and unexpired extension letter with you when you travel. I have done so many, many times without any issues.

 

Have a great trip!

Thanks for the info. 

You say you need to travel with the letter....any ideas on when I would likely receive this letter? Is it an immediate online print out? Or....

You will receive it after you send in your I-751 (it is part of the receipt notice).
