How to get I155 stamp

[yomnaaly 2]

Hi, 

 

If I filed i751 a week ago. I might get the receipt in a month or more. I was wondering how can I get i155?

I-155?  Do you mean I-551?

 

You don't get one.  Your current greencard will be valid with the extension letter that USCIS will send you.

But I might need it before that for my college admission. They won't accept this card cuz it's expiring

You "might need it" or you "will need it"?  If it is just "might", then wait for the extension letter.  If you need it right away, then call USCIS and ask for an infopass appointment.

You can't get i-551 stamp while you have a valid greencard. When is your card expiring or has it expired already? If you have timely filed your i-751 and your card hasn't expired yet, receipt notice of i-751 will extend your card for 18 months. You just need to show the college your expired green card and receipt notice together.  If your card has already been expired,  you would still need to wait for i-751 to be received/check cashed by USCIS, since they can't just put a i-551 stamp without any grounds to do so, they wouldn't even give infopass appointment I believe. Once USCIS cashes the check and receive the application, NOA letter arrives in a week nowadays, so I don't think it will worth to try to get infopass appointment but you could try to call uscis to get one once you have a pending case with them, I just don't think they will provide you an infopass appointment and they would just tell you to wait for NOA letter to arrive. just my two cents...

Okay. No my green card has two more months. I fild a week ago but with an expiring card employers and colleges think that I am temporary here. So how long will it take to get NOA letter considering they received it the last week?

Some going through ROC recently have waited months to get the NOA letter.  There is a backlog.

It currently takes ~ 5-6 weeks to get check cashed and another 1 week for NOA letter to arrive (general assumption).

 

But If your concern is in regards to your work, and I don't know why your employer would think like that, but if they ask you for your work elibility, then you can provide them your ss card (without condition or words written in the card) and driver license which will suffice to prove the requirement for work eligibility. See below:

As for your colleagues think, your immigration status should be none of other people's  business.

Your employer shouldn't reverify your i-9.

Oh okay cool then. So if Godforbid, for some reason, the NOA delays, I still have employment authorization?

Yes, your LPR status does not expire with an expired GC and by extension your authorization for work..  The only thing that happens is your proof of LPR status has or will expire.  If someone demands proof and you have not received the extension letter yet, I would educate them on the process for ROC and respectfully ask them to wait until the extension letter arrives.

 

Good Luck!

okay cool. But hopefully, we won't get to that point. Just making sure it doesn't have any legal effects. Not sure what happens to the driver's license in this case

You'll have to be without a driver's license unless your state has an extension in place because of covid. I was without a driver's license between mid December and late January.

So you had to take the road test again?
