    For the majority of people, the only time you need to present it when traveling is when checking in for a flight back to the US, and at US immigration. 
    Most airline check in staff (or to be more accurate, their systems) know what it is, if in doubt that is what supervisors, and the RCLG, are for. 
    Yes, it looks sketchy and bogus, but legally it isn’t, and that is all that matters.
     
    Remember that you must carry the original (watermarked) extension letter and the expired card for it to be valid - either one is useless without the other.

    You have the correct letter.  It's not Immigration people who have trouble with this letter.  It's usually airlines when you go to check in.  Carry your letter (have a backup copy!) and your expired Green Card.  Be prepared to explain to airlines people that your Green Card date has been extended by one year.  If they fuss, ask for a supervisor.  If the supervisor fusses, ask them to contact your local Embassy or Consulate.  Many of us have been in your situation.  And we've all traveled.
     
    You MAY (and that's a "MAY") be routed to secondary processing when you re-enter the US.  This is merely to validate your status - not because you are going to be kicked out of the US.
     
    Just breathe a little, and have fun traveling!

    splatterpaint reacted to CharlieTanger in Biometrics and interviews   
    Hello!  The biometrics is usually a month or two after sending in the I-751 (some are sooner, some are later - there's no definitive answer with the USCIS!). 
     
    You are correct about the interview - some have it, some don't.  All depends on your officer reviewing your case to determine that. The interview IS different than the biometrics. The biometrics is a quick process with just taking your picture, fingerprints, and then you're on your way! 
     
    If there is an interview needed, this will happen months down the road. If you just submitted, I would average your interview to be in the 9-12 month range from now - if you even have one.  Hope this helps!

    Not a problem but you still have to do online change of address for immigrant and I-865 for the sponsor (USC) every time you move.

    Married is married no matter where it happened. Provide a copy of marriage certificate and you'll be fine.

    Even though the first GC is conditional for all intents and purposes it is still a GC so those 2 years count.
