Q: waiting for green card to be renewed. had biometrics appt already. My card is expired. Can still travel to Europe?
A:
Hi,
It is always risky to travel outside the country with expired documents - If it is an emergency, I would suggest going to your local USCIS Office to do an in-person request for Emergency Travel Documents, or get a stamp in your passport showing your currently valid status. Or, if you decide that you want to just risk it, definitely take along a copy of your I-797C Receipt Notice showing that you filed for the I-90, and hopefully the CBP Officer at the airport will let you pass. Please feel free to contact me directly for more detailed advice.
Best regards,
Rachel Einbund, Esq.
