Can you travel on a soon-to-expire green card?

[cerulean9]

My green card is going to expire in 2 weeks, and I am planning on flying out of the U.S. this weekend. Will this pose a problem at the airport? I know some airlines will not let you fly on a passport that will expire soon. Is there a similar rule for green cards?

I am also hoping that entering the country (assuming they let me leave) won't be an issue, since I am coming back the day before my green card expires. So it will still be valid, but not for long. However, I have applied for renewal and am planning on carrying a copy of the application and notice of receipt with me, in case the immigration officials notice the soon-to-expire date and don't want to let me back in.

Does anyone have any personal experience with this situation? Any advice is much appreciated! I can't find anything relevant to this situation online — only about green cards that have already expired.

Technically, airlines are even supposed to board you with an expired 10-year green card, so a not-yet expired card should definitely not be a problem.

If you are concerned (and newacct has pointed out you shouldn't be) make an Infopass appointment, take your valid passport and I-90 receipt notice to the field office, then ask for an I-551 stamp

I thought to get I 551 stamp, one has to have a pending I-90 application (notice of receipt)?

Whoops, he has already applied for a renewal. ignore my comment.
