Did your get returned as well? I used a different address, but the same should work. I think they just need it updated just in case the address was wrong.

Yes, we went and didn't have any issues coming back. Customs cleared her through quickly after we showed them the extension letter and expired green card. The layover were in Narita, Japan and Seattle.

FYI, if you get change from a vendor and it's a dirty or torn dollar bill, you won't be able to use it elsewhere because the vendors will not accept it if it's too worn (they may try to offload some of the worn currency on foreigners). I got some change the first night from a store and they gave me a worn USD and I wasn't able to use it elsewhere. There are ATMs around so I just had to pull some money and save the worn bill for use back home.

It's been a few years since we did it, but I believe we just needed the NOA2 to get the police certificate; but it may have changed since then. The USCIS should have also sent an email with an attachment that the I-129F has been forwarded to the US Embassy and mine does have the case number (BNK) as well as other stuff. This should have been sent around the NOA2 timeframe. Maybe that is the letter he needs. It should have been emailed to you or him; mine was sent from nvc-do-not-reply@state.gov. Otherwise, you may want to look over: https://th.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/packets/ and https://pcscenter.sbpolice.go.th/news/REQUIREDDOCUMENTS(ApplyinpersonforapplicantresidinginThailand)_25.html FYI, the email letter looked similar to what they had:

Just my luck, I had my I-751 approved and it showed the card was being produced on Jul 25 and sent on Jul 27th. A USCIS approval noticed arrived on Jul 31st. On the day the card was to arrive via the tracking number, I got a letter from USCIS stating that the I-751 was approved. This caused the confusion as I mistaken the tracking number that was given was for the approval notice and not the card which would be sent later on. The approval notice was also sent from Lees summit, MO so it matched with the tracking number source. On the USCIS and USPS site, it showed that that the letter was delivered to the mailbox also on the day the notice arrived(this I'm thinking was the approval notice, though I thought it was strange they had a tracking number for an approval notice). It wasn't until Aug 4th, the status was updated to mail was undeliverable and returning back to USCIS. This caused me to realized that the tracking number was actually for the greencard, and that was not in the mailbox that day even though the approval notice was delivered that same day. Frustrating that this is happening, but I'm guessing that the letter was either delivered to a wrong address or not processed properly by the post office and returned (made more frustrating because of the 2 pieces of mail from USCIS, they delivered 1, the approval notice, and misplaced the other one, the greencard). If I had known, I may have been able to do something, but the approval notice made me think the tracking number was for it instead of the greencard. Anyways, I started a service request to resend the green card on Aug 6th, and an email said expect a response by Sept 6. I checked today, Sept 5th, and it says the request to resend the card hasn't been assigned for processing. USCIS says if they don't get a new address update by Nov 4th, they will destroy the card. I updated my address (before I had it sent to my buddy's address) just in case on August 15th to see if that would help the processing, but I haven't seen any progress. Anybody had to deal with resending a returned greencard and how long it may take? If it approaches the destruction date, is there anything else I can do to avoid them destroying the card. I will try calling on the 7th if nothing happens tomorrow, but is there anything else I can do to help it along before it runs out of time and they destroy the greencard? Here is a quick timeline Jul 25 - Card being produced Jul 27 - Card sent Jul 31 - Received USCIS Approval notice for I-751; USPS shows letter delivered Aug 4 - Card marked/changed as undeliverable by USPS and returned to USCIS Aug 6 - Filed Service Request to resend card Aug 15 - Updated Address (before it was being sent to a friend's house which I've never had an issue with before)

Has anybody had issue traveling to and from Thailand while their I-751 is being processed. The green card expired 2022, but the I-797 extended it until 2024. Any issues with exiting Thailand or boarding? How was customs like back?
