Urgent Green Card Renewal
I completely forgot about renewing my green card that expires end April and I have to travel to Europe in May and then again in July.
Has anyone had any luck expediting the renewal process. I am in NJ Can I get a I551 stamp in my passport and use that instead of the green card? Thank you |
Re: Urgent Green Card Renewal
I would say your best bet is to get the I-551 stamp.

Re: Urgent Green Card Renewal
The worst case scenario, if you travel without your green card, as I did once, is that you get sent to secondary on arrival in the US. The nice immigration officer at JFK told me he needed to, but actually didn't send me to secondary "because I don't fit the profile". :rofl:

Fret not.
Expired 10yr cards are valid for boarding a carrier to the US (carrier guide page 28: https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/fi...%20ENGLISH.pdf ) |
Re: Urgent Green Card Renewal
Thank you for your responses. I called USCIS today and they say travelling with an expired 10 year green card and a receipt of the I 90 renewal application is good for entry into the USA. I guess the question is do the airlines know this and will they still let me board the plane. Has anyone successfully traveled like this to the USA?
On another note USCIS told me the current wait time for the new green card is 11 months so if you have a green card that is expiring in the near future get your applications in ahead of time |
Re: Urgent Green Card Renewal
I did my renewal last March, just got notified on Friday that my new card was produced and will be sent to me. So just 3 weeks shy of a year for it to be processed, I did get an extension added to my expired car and was able to travel out of the country and back using that during the past year.

FYI: An expired 10yr card is good for travel even without an I-90 renewal receipt (or even having been applied for), largely due to the card being proof of status, and not the status itself. |
