Hello!

 

Hope you are all well. In sight of some information and hoping someone can help. My green card expired - My green card expired on 08.10.2020. I needed to travel December 2022 so I got my I-551 stamp November 28th 2022 and was valid until November 27th 2023. Fast forward to 2.22.2023 - I get a notice in the mail saying they have extended the validity period on my form I-551, Permanent resistant card (also known as green card) for 48 months. 

 

So the date of extension would be until August 10 2024. The issue Is I need to travel back home to England in the end of June to attend my brothers wedding. I would return home July 13th. 

 

So my question is.. Do I need to get the I-551 stamp again? because of it being so close to August? 

 

I hope this makes sense.. Sorry if I confused anyone, honestly just trying to make sense of all of this myself and coming on here feels like some sort of normality. 

 

Thank you! :)

 

Jessica.

No.  Just return prior to expiration of the extension letter.

You must have both the expired Green Card and the extension letter.

Also be sure that they didn't clip the corner of your physical greencard. That's what they did when I got my stamp. They let me keep the card but clipped the corner to make it invalid. In that case you'd need to get another stamp.
