Indian airport officers don't understand expired GC + I-751 receipt extension?

[rm137]

Did anyone have problems boarding flight to the US from India because the airport officers are confused by expired green card + I-751 receipt notice? I have heard this from a friend and am wondering how widespread this problem is.

My GC expired in April 2021, but I received a I-751 filing receipt in Feb 2021 saying that my GC has been extended by 18 months. Thinking of visiting India next week.

Would be great to ear others experiences, positive or negative.

It is not that unusual to find airline staff who do not understand anything other than a simple unexpired plastic green card. General recommendations are to
1. Have with you a copy of the relevant page of the official carrier information guide https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/f.../2019 Carrier Information Guide - ENGLISH.pdf (page 10 I believe in your case)
2. Escalate to a superior/demand they speak to their CBP liaison to confirm you can travel if necessary
3. Get to the airport early anticipating that this might be a problem and it might take time to deal with
