Expired Green Card and need to travel

[cybycmu]

Hello Everyone

So I have an expired green card. I submitted my forms a good month ago, but heard nothing back from USCIS. As a result, I don't even have a receipt number.

Unfortunately, I need to leave tomorrow on an emergency, and I am concerned that they would not let me board my plane over to Hong Kong. I was hoping that I would at least get a stamp or something on my passport, but this is probably not happening.

What are my rights and what should I do? I know that if I am able to leave, all I need to do is to get a transportation letter from the US Consulate to guarantee my return, but I'm afraid that they won't let me leave at all - is that at all possible?

Thanks!

Go to your local USCIS office, show your itinerary of travel, explain your emergency and they will make an exception showing up without a info pass and will stamp your passport.

Explain to the office clearly and sincerely. Im sure they will understand.
