Traveling after Filing I-751 question!
Hello all.
I just have a quick question. I submitted my application for I-751 on the 7th of this month. On the 14th I received the I-797 letter stating that my card had been extended for 18 months. My current conditional card expired on the 13th of this month.
My question is: I’m traveling to my home country of Australia on Monday to visit family as one of my relatives has just passed away. On the letter it clearly states that i’m able to travel as long as I bring the expired green card and the original letter (I-797) with me. I’m not worried about immigration in the USA giving me a hard time when I get back, but I am weary of the airline in Australia being fussy when i’m checking back in to my return flight to the USA regarding visa requirements etc.
I know i’m probably other thinking this a lot but just wondering if anyone has heard about someone traveling with the I-797 letter or if you have experienced it yourself? I’ve read two stories where airlines gave people trouble at the gate about this and it has me a little freaked out and worried to travel. (hopefully i'm just being a worry wart)
Thank you all, have a great day and I look forward to your replies! :)
