Your status doesn't expire.

Schedule an infopass for the day after your 1-yr extension expires and go get your passport stamped.

Unless they approve you before, of course.

Case does not expire, and you do not loose status. Your status is LPR until a decision is made on the I-751.

Schedule and info pass appointment and get an I-551 stamp to provide evidence of status beyond the I-751 NOA1 extension letter.

Keep the receipt with your green card. If by some chance you are not approved within a year you will want to make an InfoPass appointment to go to your Local Office to request an I-551 stamp in your passport. This does happen as it sometimes it takes over a year to be approved. After your NOA extension expires, this is your only evidence of legal status which you are required to have, by law. This happens occasionally, that a case takes over a year, but it's rare. Local Offices will not give an I-551 stamp is you have another type of evidence of status (ie, expired Green Card + extension letter).
