Just wanted to share:

Sent I-751 form etc., to TSC express mail on 12-18-03. It arrived on 12-19-03.
Received NOA (dated 12-22-03) in mail today. Has anyone gone to L'ville
recently to get another stamp whilst waiting for the official removal of
conditions to be completed? If so, please email me. Thanks.

I think once you get that NOA your current 2 year card is automatically
extended by a year. Meaning that you can work and travel presenting the
expired card and the NOA as evidence. At least that what I was meant to
understand the last time I was at the local USCIS office and from this
communique http://uscis.gov/graphics/lawsregs/h...ensn120203.pdf.
I do not know how L'ville operates but you will be lucky to get a stamp
based on that NOA, but you could still try to get a stamp.

What do you need a stamp for when you have the NOA in hand?

We are thinking about going to the UK in the spring, and though the
NOA is supposed to suffice for travel, I just wondered if it was
a good idea to get another stamp just to be safe (assuming L'ville
would even do this). If it will clear up any confusion that might
occur, then we'd make the trip, but otherwise we'll forgo the 3 hour
drive and 4:30 AM wake-up and hike down to the federal courthouse.

Well, it seems redundant to get a stamp when you are already authorized to travel and enter the country while your I-751 is being adjudicated with the NOA. I have had no trouble entering the country with a NOA. Several folks have posted that they attempted to get a stamp when they had a valid NOA and were refused by their local USCIS office. I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure you don't lose the NOA while travelling!

Spouse and I will be filing the I-751 soon, so can anyone tell me what the wording is on the official NOA? Thanks.

Mine says:

"Your alien card is extended 12 months-employment and travel authorized. Processing your form will require a minimum of 120 days. If you have not heard from us within six (6) months, then you may contact this office."
