Hi everyone, I hope you all are hanging in there during these stressful times. 

 

Mu husband applied for AOS in July of last year. In November he got his finger prints, and we got the 18 month extension letter as well. 18 months from the day his green card expires in April of 2021. In June of 2021 we are going back over to England to finally have our wedding celebration, since we never got to have a party. My question is, assuming he won't have his green card by then, do they automatically send another extension letter? Or do we have to make an appointment and ask for one? Not only will he need it to travel for our party and (finally) our honeymoon, but he also needs it in order to still work in the US. We are not sure what to do, and things have now been pushed further behind because of the pandemic. Thanks!

What AOS extension letter?  No such thing. 

YMMV

Based on your timeline he applied for Removal of Conditions (ROC) last year.

He'll reach out to the USCIS Contact Center to make an appointment for an I-551 stamp in his UK passport:

I think you mean removal of conditions.

In such case, when the extension letter expires, you can schedule an appointment at your local USCIS office to get an I-551 stamp that serves as a GC for one year. 

Yes I do, sorry it's been a long day. Do you know how far head of time we have to do that, or do we have to wait until the letter expries?

Yeah, awesome thanks. I did mean ROC. So this will basically serve as another extension letter, but rather than a letter it's a stamp?

You can call to schedule the appointment a few days before the letter expires.

Let's hope you receive the green card before the stamp is needed.

I meant removal of conditions. Sorry, it's been a long day and got my terms mixed up.

Back when I went through the process it had to be around 30 days before the letter expired that they'd let you get a stamp.

In my case, I lost the letter and had to surrender my GC and got the stamp 6 months in.
