My conditional GC will expire March 15, 2008 so I will send I-751 and supporting documents mid December 2007. I have seen some timelines and there is a slim chance I will get the 10 year GC before April 2008, when I want to buy plane tickets to travel abroad. Am I allowed to travel while I am waiting for the 10 year GC? Do I need Advance Parole or something like that?

Thank you.

No need advanced parole. You should get a NOA1 when you file the I-751 that states your 2 year GC is extended for 1 year.

I think you can also a Infopass and get a stamp in your PP showing such.

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

!! ALL PAU!

The NOA1 extension letter, along with your expired green card, is sufficient for travel abroad during the time between the expiration of the card and the time you get your permanent card, as long as it's within the one year period of the extension. An infopass appointment for a stamp in the passport would only be necessary after the extension period runs out.

Meh

Indeed, I have travelled once already and maybe once more before my card MIGHT arrive (*glares at TSC*), my old card and extension letter was all I needed.
