I know I have no choice in the matter. I guess I need to explain myself better.
What I'm saying is, would it make any difference WHEN in those 90 days I filed?
Like say I booked my trip for May and filed when I got back. Would I have any issues getting back into the US because it's within the 90 days and I haven't filed yet?

1. As long as you file within those 90 days, you're OK as far as the I-751 goes. You can file the first of those 90 days, or the last of those 90 days and still be safe (although I wouldn't leave it that late).

2. As for traveling, as long as your current GC is unexpired, you should have no problem entering the USA, even if it's within that 90-day window prior to its expiration. You'll only have a problem if you are outside the USA when your GC expires, and you don't yet have the 1-year extension letter (which you get after filing the I-751).

Gotcha, thanks for the wonderful explanation!
I will definitely be travelling waaaaay before my current GC expires.

I needed to make an Aussie trip (an important family celebration) during my 90 days. I had no problems getting back in and filed once I got back.
Actually I did have one problem. I hadn't gotten around to changing my name on my passports (I have both Aussie and UK citizenship) and the airline in Australia wasn't too keen on letting me onto the return plane as my passport name and Green Card name didn't match. Luckily I had copies of all my ID documentation with me (and a hubby in tow :P ). Immigration at the US end though didn't raise an eyebrow at the name discrepancy. Needless to say I won't be travelling again on my maiden name![Wink](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)

That's because the airline in Australia bears the cost of flying you back to Australia if the US immigration authorities don't let you in! And the airline does not know if eyebrows will be raised or not, so they tend to assume the worst.

Well I was totally stupid to not get the passports changed before I left the US. It was certainly a scary few minutes standing at the check in desk and I'll never allow myself to be in that situation again

Not really - my wife flew for several years with her passport and green card in different names. Her native country passport is still in her maiden name 9 years later (it makes things easier when she enters her native country).
A copy of the marriage certificate easily avoids problems with airlines.

Yeah, I had a copy of marriage certificate etc with me. They were still a little leary but eventually let me on
