Thai traveling to Thailand and back to the US

[pawheel]

My wife will be traveling back to Thailand in June. Her two year green card is expired and we applied for her ten year green card. We received the 1751 “petition to remove conditions on residence” form.  
 

We’ve some how lost the first page of the 1751 form. We do have the second page (see attachment)

 

Will that second page Of the 1751 be ok to travel with? Also, what other documents will she need to exit Thailand on the return back to the US?
 

She recently renewed her Thai passport in Los Angeles. They allowed her to keep her expired passport with the K1 visa stamp. Will the expired passport be needed?

 

If we’re required to get the first page of the 1751 form. What is the process for getting a new copy?

 

TIA

It's years since we went through this, but during periods when an application for change of status is pending if she wants to to re-enter the US she should apply for Advance Parole, form I-131, before she leaves.  My wife was never in the exact same situation as your wife, but I think AP would still be required.

She should enter and leave Thailand on her current Thai passport.  Always bring the old passport.  When she boards the return flight in Bangkok she will need to show the airlines that she is entitled to enter the US without a visa.  They should be familiar with Advance Parole, but who knows?  Might be worth calling the airlines and checking.

 

But really you need to get definitive information, since any slipup would be a disaster.  Why not call Immigration and ask?  Or hunt up one of the websites that is devoted to immigrants dealing with Immigration.  There are lots of them and they have up-to-date information.
