Yes, I have....but people arriving with open envelopes is extremely rare. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it. I would expect most all airports have had new US immigrants transiting through.

N400 Interview based on Marriage
Crazy Cat replied to Dags's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
Our USCIS officer gave me the option to stay in the room while he conducted my wife's N-400 interview (after the I-751 part of the interview). We declined the offer, so I was escorted to the waiting area while my wife aced the citizenship tests.....😄 -
They aren't going to send you home for an opened envelope. At most, plan to spend some extra time in secondary. Relax and try to enjoy the journey....
-
You are not an LPR. You are a US citizen. Too much time has passed.
-
I speculate she received the letter that some conditional green card holders get 90 days prior to expiration to remind them to file the I-751.
-
Agree 100%. This is fixable, but with some explaining to USCIS.

OP posted a screen shot of an I-90 status.

If an I-751 was never submitted: Step 1: Get her home to the US by whatever means possible. Step 2: IMMEDIATELY file an I-751 package with a letter explaining that she sent an I-90 by mistake. Once they get her I-751, USCIS will issue her a new extension letter extending the expiration date on her card by 4 years. That will make the new expiration date 1/3/2026....and it will allow her to travel.
-
I'm surprised she hasn't received the "You are out of status" letter from USCIS if the I-751 was never filed.
-
So, she never filed an I-751?
-
Green Card expired in 2022......she has been traveling on a possibly invalid extension letter........and her I-751 is way overdue.
-
@Zumbadaddy, did you file an I-90 to renew a 2 year Green Card? Your timeline shows marriage was in 2019. If she was supposed to file an I-751, but she filed an I-90 instead, you have a big issue ahead. She should have filed to Remove Conditions on her 2 year Green Card. This could complicate her current situation. This needs to be addressed like yesterday!!!
-
Wait a minute.....Why was an I-90 filed? Wasn't this a 2 year Green Card? Your timeline seems to indicate she received a 2 year card.

What???!!??? How can they ever U turn from that kind of loss? On another subject, with a gas-powered vehicle you can usually expect to, hopefully, get a piece of your cost back when you trade-in a few year down the road. Can you imagine the trade-in value of an EV which is close to battery change time? You might have to pay the dealer to take your trade-in.

She will need either a valid extension to accompany the expired Green Card...or she needs to get an ADIT stamp from USCIS in order to return after that trip.

Follow the procedure under "How to apply": Lost or Stolen Green Cards - U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Japan (usembassy.gov) It instructs you to go here for an appointment: Boarding Foil Appointment Request Form - U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Japan (usembassy.gov)
-
If I understand the situation, she has an expired 2 year Green Card and an expired extension letter. If so, she cannot, to my knowledge, board without a boarding foil.
-
She should have gotten a 4 year extension letter after filing an I-751 for removal of conditions.
-
The I-131a is the correct form from USCIS to apply for a boarding foil. Application for Carrier Documentation | USCIS Lost or Stolen Green Cards - U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Japan (usembassy.gov)

Great find, @Redro. That thread says it all. That should be the "go to" example when people ask this question.
