Will the 48-month I-797 (EB-5 I-829) be effective with the ADIT stamp while traveling overseas?

I submitted the EB-5 I-829 in April 2020. Since the expiration of my original conditional green card, I received the 18- and 24-month I-797 extension notices; subsequently, I had to get an ADIT stamp when the 24-month I-797 also expired. When doing so, however, the ISO took away my original 2-year green card. Recently, my 48-month I-797 has been issued and is currently being sent over via mail. The I-797 states that it must be presented with the expired I-551 PRC, which I no longer possess. Will the 48-month I-797 still be effective with the ADIT stamp (due to expire in July 2023)? If not, what are my options?

You have many detailed questions. You need a consultation appointment with an immigration attorney.

Big problem if they took away your card as you will need another stamp.

Perhaps bring the ADIT stamp and a copy of the expired PR card along with the new 48-month extension receipt. Did they take that away or did you lose it?

I-551 stamp in a valid foreign passport and the extension notice will be sufficient.

The ADIT stamp, together with your new I-797 and your passport, will be sufficient to be admitted back to the US.
