Travel back to US with expired Green Card and i797 NOA Extension

[sureshko]

Hi,

I am planning to travel to Peru next month. My US Green Card is currently expired but I do have a i797 extension to extend my Green Card for next 1 year. My immigration attorney mentioned that there is no concern traveling and getting entry back to US with my immigration status. I am still scared if airlines staff in LIMA airport will allow me to board the US plane with my I797 extension. I am flying Copa airlines. I would highly appreciate any inputs if any of you have traveled from LIMA to USA in similar situation. Thank you in advance!

Regards,

Suresh

Are you doing I-751 Removal of Conditions because you had a 2-year conditional green card? Or are you simply renewing an expired 10-year green card with I-90?

You are good to travel in and out of the US with your expired GC and the extension. Make sure to bring them both with you. I just got back to the U.S. from Vietnam. All airline staff and Customs in Vietnam and China where I transfer got confused but finally they let me go.

Why don't you make an Infopass appointment and get the I-551 stamp?
