Sticker on the back of expired Green card

[frank19910210 65]

Hi everyone,

 

I have read from some posts that some people got a sticker from USCIS to be put on the back of their green card to reflect the new expiry date (18 month expiration)

 

Yes, I know that 18 month extension letter would technically be enough, but sometimes when we travel or when we deal with machines (Such as kiosk for Global Entry that can only read the code on the back of the GC) or certain not-well-informed airline agent who only trusts the computer, having a such sticker would save everybody a lot of time by explaining everything, and involving probably their superiors.

 

As a resul, I would like to know if anybody knows if USCIS is still doing this now? Or these are only particular cases?

 

Thanks a lot!

The extension letter is for those who file the i-751.

 

The sticker is for those who file the i-90.

Oh okay so there is no way that anybody can get a sticker for i-751 ? 

 

I thought this is just soemthing that certain USCIS offices do for I-751 petitioner

Nope. You get an extension letter, and if your i-751 is still pending when your extension letter expires you can go get an i-551 stamp in your passport. No sticker.
