Upon re entry to the USA, you will show your green card, the officer will look at it, verify some things on his computer, and say "Welcome Home".

You may not be able to check in online. Depends on the airline, it has got better recently I think.

It is a small world indeed Ian. I've also met a person from Scotland who lives in Teays Valley, who I talk to a little bit. I've also chatted to a woman from Wales to, I've got a thick Northern Irish accent and she thought I was from Minnesota lol.

If you're towards the end of the 2 years and you've sent in the I-751, have the receipt with you.

Also to the OP: when returning to the US, be ready to show your Green Card along with your passport at both check-in/bag-drop, if you use it, and at the gate. If you're travelling hand-baggage only and check-in online and so go straight through security at the airport, you may get paged for a document check ahead of boarding too.
