If your green card expires while you are out of the US and you have no extenstion letter with you, yes, you will not be permitted back into the country. You MUST file your I-751 form and wait about a week or a week and half until you receive your NOA letter. This letter will inform you that your status has been extended for one year during processing. Then, you can travel out of the usa safely as long as you bring that letter and your expired green card with you. My husband and I are traveling to UK Dec 19th and his card expires Dec 23..so we studied this very carefully and have already gotten our NOA letter. Good Luck!
Just saw your card is already expired?? Umm..yeah you may be in trouble period..you should follow up with USCIS ASAP!!
