Got it, waiting 8 months to get the re-entry permit is not an option for us then. In that case, I will try to limit the trip to 4 months and that should give a 2 month buffer.

Hmm, gotcha. So when we apply for I-131, do we specify the range to capture 6+ months just to be safe? Or do we still specify the intended travel duration? and, how long does it typically take to receive the re-entry permit? What if we don’t receive the re-entry permit on time? Can we continue with the travels?

Yes, we’ve decided to wait for the extension letter before resuming our travels. Do we still need re-entry permits?

Got it. Thanks!! After considering everything, I think we will reschedule our travel plans for until after my wife receives her extension letter. I’m hoping we would receive that relatively quickly.

This is exactly what I had in mind too @Lil bear. Worst come to worst, if we do not receive the NOA and extension letter in time for the petition submitted by that trustworthy person, we will return to the US before the expiration. However, if we receive the NOA, we will complete our travels and return as planned. Only issue I can think of is if we also receive the biometrics appointment date prior to 12/22? We would have to be in-person in the USA. My plan is to call ASC and re-schedule the biometrics appointment for after 12/22 when we are back in the US. Would this be an issue?

My wife received her conditional green card on 11/2020 (Spouse Visa) and her green card expires on 11/2022. She is not eligible to apply for the petition I-751 to remove the condition before 08/2022. However, we have international travel plans scheduled from 07/2022 to 12/2022 (her conditional green will be expired at re-entry). What are some options for us to proceed with our travels without running into issues at re-entry? Can we submit the petition while we are abroad?
