Q: Can I travel with expired green card?
So my Green Card expired and the I-797 Notice Of Action ( Extra 18 Months ) has been expired also
My question is I have to travel outside the United States can I do that with my expired I-797 notice?
Thanks
A: You should not travel with an expired green card without a valid extension. You can call USCIS and request an INFO Pass appointment to get a stamp in your passport that will extend the validity of your conditional card. If your case is taking longer than USCIS processing times (check here: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/) then you should submit an inquiry to let them know you are "outside normal processing time". Best wishes!
Nadine C. Atkinson-Flowers and Alexander Ivakhnenko agree with this answer
A: Even though your card has expired your status as an LPR has not expired. However, if you leave the USA with an expired card you may not be admitted into the USA upon your return. I suggest you file for NATZ or to renew your card. After you have filed take your receipt to your local USCIS office and request a stamp in your passport to indicate you are an LPR. HOWEVER, the request for a stamp may be denied because you did not timely file to renew your card.

A:
What you should have done long time agin is to file and receive an I-131 Re Entry Permit for your return.
Currently, you may seek an Infopass in person in place an I-551 LPR stamp into your valid foreign passport to be admitted upon return, otherwise you will be stuck abroad.
