I paid the fees and had to leave the country back to south africa because of a family emergency. Im suppossed to go back to the us in september so that i dont over step the 6 month mark but because of the severity of my situation i'm trying to get info on what happens if i dont go back for a few more months. Also, can i do my finger print appointment abroad? Thanks a lot for any help on this i'm desperate
 
no, you wont be able to do fingerprint abroad. What you can do is to the us embassy in south africa and ask question about letter of transportation or SB1 visa asap.
please keep us posted.
 
You should have gotten an I-551 stamp in your passport before you left the US. Now you have to hope the consulate will give you a transportation letter if you show them the expired card and proof of applying for the renewal.
 
i filed for my i90 a month ago and received the receipt (i-797c)on January 11 but i have not yet received my bio metrics appointment and i have to leave to the Philippines by the end of the month for an emergency...is it possible to just walk to the uscis office in my town and ask if i can take my biometrics even without an appointment letter and just bring the receipt letter(i-797c) with me? because i know that ones i do my bioemtrics,i can get an extension on my expired greencard and be able to leave the country ones they put a new sticker on the back of my card.
 
You actually should start a new thread.

The receipt will serve the purpose depending on urgency of travel.You could also wait for 10 days and then decide.An infopass appointment with USCIS made online could be of help in case you haven't received new card.
