Hi folks,
one technical question. My green card expires at the end of July and my lawyer and I have all the docs ready to file. We haven't filed yet, though, (it's a divorce case) because I am leaving the country for about two months and we don't wanna risk to receive a biometric appointment while I am abroad and cannot attend it. So my lawyer will file around 2-3 weeks before I come back to the US, so that I will get the appointment once back.

The fact is: I will coming back to the US only 3 days before my green card expires. My lawyer will fax me a copy of my NOA-1, so that I can show the immigration officers at the border that I am renewing my card.

My question is: will I have any problem re-entering the country? I ask because my green card expiration date would be very close, but again I will have already filed for the waiver and will have a copy of NOA-1 on hand.

Thanks all!!

As long as you are entering the USA on an unexpired green card, you should not have any issues.

You are not renewing your card, you are removing the conditions on your status. (If successful, you will be issued a new green card.)

But I won't have any problem re-entering the country right?

No issues with regard to status, anyway.

Not because of anything related to your GC... which is valid up to and including the day it expires. It's a non-issue.
