Hi everyone. 
 

Sorry if this has been discussed already, but I couldn’t find it when I searched the forums. 
 

I received my conditional greencard in June 2019 and it expires in June 2021 (as usual). I recently went to the DMV to get my driving license renewed and while there the lady told me that my greencard has automatically been extended to 2026 because of covid-19 so my new driving license wouldn’t expire until 2025. 
 

I haven’t received a letter explaining any of this from USCIS, and haven’t received a new greencard with the 2026 expiry date so I just wondered if anyone has heard the same thing?

Don't believe them. You will have to file for ROC when it's close to expiration.

Yeah I was super surprised and suspicious when she said that. Especially since I hadn’t been told that by USCIS. At least I got an extended driving license from it lol

Maybe you misunderstood and the license has been extended.  Each state's DMV has different rules.  My wife's FL license was 2 yrs when she got her AOS but when she got the conditional green card they extended it to 10 yrs.

A lot of people seem to struggle with the fact that I can live here legally and not be a US citizen. No matter how much I explain!

That’s why she works at the DMV not USCIS. She knows nothing about immigration.
