Quick Update Guys:
 
Today I went to the ASC to try to do walk in Biometrics, they were super nice and process was done in 10 minutes. Now fingers crossed for a rapid approval.
Good luck to everybody!

Just for correction and clarification:
 
USCIS has nothing to do with Visitors Visas, those are handled by the Consular Section of the Embassies, and they are part of the Department Of State.
USCIS only comes into play when there is Immigration or work in the US involved.
 

I'm pretty sure we will receive an updated i-797, they say they will issue "NEW" forms to those whose case were pending as June 11 which means that all those from June 11 will receive the updated i-797 and those before June 11 will receive a "NEW i-797" which means they already had one.

From USCIS, it looks that we will be receiving updated i-797 forms extending our green cards for 18 months after expiration instead of the traditional 12 months.

As of June 11, 2018, petitioners who file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, or Form I-829, Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions on Permanent Resident Status, will receive a Form I-797 receipt notice that can be presented with their Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card, as evidence of continued status for 18 months past the expiration date on their Permanent Resident Card.
We are making the change from 12 to 18 months because current processing times for Form I-751 and Form I-829 have increased over the past year.
Additionally, we will issue new Form I-797 receipt notices to eligible conditional permanent residents whose Form I-751 or I-829 was still pending as of June 11, 2018. Those Form I-797 receipt notices will also serve as evidence of continued status for 18 months past the expiration date on petitioner’s Permanent Resident Card.
As a reminder, conditional permanent residents who plan to be outside of the United States for a year or more should apply for a reentry permit by filing Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, before leaving the country. Read more information on our Green Card webpage.

Great News From USCIS, they will start sending new updated i-797 forms extending our green cards for 18 months instead of 12, I guess that will save us the trip to get a stamp after 1 year with our cases pending.

CSC Cashed my check today!! I guess NOA will come next week.
Sent May 2, Received May 4 and Check cashed today 6/7
 
 
 
Thank you!
 
 
 

I strongly recommend NOT to travel without either the NOA or i-551 stamp.... heck I wouldn't even travel with my green card expiring so close to my returning date , remember that life is full of unexpected things, any delay in your trip and you would have a really hard time getting back into the US.
 
If there is no other choice I would make an Infopass and explain my situation to see if they can give you a i-551 stamp even if it is a short term one, the worst that can happen is they say no.
