No 24 month GC extension NOA

[kaleya 70]

My husband filed his I-751 in July 2021 (still pending — case status is “case received”, it’s an SRC case) and shortly thereafter received an NOA about his green card being extended for 18 months. So at that time it appeared that the green card would expire in 2/2023.

 

Now, I’m reading that evidently people were issued new NOAs for 24 month extensions instead, but we never received this! Apparently these were issued over a year ago, to others. The USCIS website says I can log into our account and “print the notice”, but I’m not able to find any notice or even any section for communications inside MyUSCIS account. There is a “tools” section that will not open when I click on it, and I’m not sure that area has a section for communications anyway.

 

So, questions:

- does anyone know how to print the NOA online?

- should my husband get that I-551 stamp put in his passport instead, and if so does that require calling USCIS to get an Info Pass appointment?

- does applying for N-400 (which he’s eligible to file now) give any type of automatic extension to the green card instead? 

 

We are feeling confused and don’t have time to do much digging through info right now as I am on maternity leave and have barely time to even type this. Any help is appreciated!

Hi @kaleya I haven't heard about the option for self-printing extension letters. Also, the extension letters usually come on a watermarked protected paper, and even if you manage to print one yourself I doubt airlines / officials / HRs will honor it.

 

The best course of action is to obtain I-551 stamp. You need to call USCIS and get an appointment for that. It's not given earlier than 30 days before extension letter expires.

 

N-400 application will not result in green card extension letter being issued.

Not everyone has been issued a 24 month extension and that's okay.

You can only print documents from your account for online filed applications. I751 is paper filed.

Only if he needs to leave the US or renew IDs will he need to get a stamp. No stamp needed otherwise. 

Your status does not expire just because the extension letter does.

No.

Hi! I was in exactly the same situation as your husband. 

 

I was getting worried and called USCIS to schedule an Infopass appointment where I received my I-551.

 

As for the 24 month NOA, they finally mailed it to me one month after the 18-month one expired. So now I have both!
