Yes. I got back in with no issues. Just don't use European airlines like Lufthansa and the like. Preferably Turkish airlines

I did more times and it was completely fine

@Kevin why not European Airlines?
Eko LawJun 12, 2021
Kevin Tanko advice is very important. european airlines don't recognize expired green card with extension letter. They will allow u to board with only valid green card. To be on safer side, take American airlines. That's what I did when I was in ur position. So, you can travel.

Thank you guys for the advice 🙏🏽

@kevinTanko did you travel with Turkish? I am planning to and was wondering if anyone had problems. before.
Eko LawNov 15, 2021
when u travel pls make sure u take America airlines if ur conditional green card is expired. Due to past experiences european airlines will not accept ur extension letter for green card.
Rocco FortéNov 15, 2021
@Eko law so you had to buy a new ticket on a different airline when the European airline won’t board you with extension letter?
Eko LawNov 15, 2021
Correct.
Rocco FortéNov 15, 2021
Damn! how long ago was this?
Eko LawNov 15, 2021
2018 thereabout
Eko LawNov 15, 2021
I traveled myself without this knowledge until my friend told his encounter while visiting his home country. I'd have run into this problem during my trip but thank God I flew American Airline to UK while I was under extension.
Rocco FortéNov 15, 2021
Wow that’s crazy. Imagine having to pay for a fresh ticket impromptu
Eko LawNov 15, 2021
You got no choice if u don't want to be stranded.
Spencer smithNov 15, 2021
but it clearly says in the letter that your status is extended. it is a letter from USCIS and it should not be at any airlines mercy. right?
