today greencard expiration

[JaynLainey 0]

due to some reason I mailed my application late. I sent it last feb 9th thru the USPS express mail. But due to the recent storm we had here in PA, when I track my package it was just delivered today. Today is the expiration day of my green card. Do you guys think I made it? Is it base on post mark date or on the date received?

Honestly, it's not the date that it's RECEIVED by them, its the date it's processed.. and often it's not processed on the same day it's received.

I can't see from your profile what you're filing for but given the date you joined I'm assuming it's removal of conditions.

Cross all fingers and toes that it IS processed today. In the meantime look into what you're going to have to do if it isn't.

Best of luck to you.

there was a similar case that they still accepted a day late.

I know this is the least of your concerns at the moment....but do you know you can actually get your money back from USPS since their delivery guarantee wasn't met?

Also, did you send a check? keep an eye on your online bank account and see if they cash it. If they do, you're good. It's an indication that your application has been accepted. Accepted = extension. Extension = status is good.

Sure they'll accept it; no need to worry.

My understanding with the I-751 is that there is a grace period of roughly a month or two if you have a reasonable explanation included with the application as to why it's late. In the case of the current blizzard, I'm sure they'll be reasonable over an interval of a few days.

Welcome to the club... as V333k was saying my I-751 got sent 27JAN and received 28JAN, GC expired 28JAN, I-751 processed 29JAN.

Curiously instead I think that our bio appointment letter got into the weather delays since I noticed that usually within a week VSC had always sent them and today marks the second week for us....

i think you're right! I, too, am waiting on the ASC letter and i've been expecting it for a week.

That's really good to read

**fingers crossed**

Hello everybody, I think you are fine. The important thing I think is always the date that you mailed out. If you mailed out your package a few days ago, it's fine. Anyway, It looks like was received yesterday, so I think you are accepted, barely but accepted anyway. Good luck with your paperwork!

You should be fine. You submitted your application before it expired and it was delayed through unforeseen circumstances so it arrived on the same day as the green card expired. I seriously doubt you have anything to worry about. Were their offices even open during the storm?
