My 2 year conditional green card expires soon. I have filed for i-751 removal of conditions. It's been received by USCIS and I was sent the initial letter that confirmed receipt and stated that they have set up an online account for me. I haven't yet received a letter extending my green card.

 

Am I allowed to continue working after my conditional green card expires? Or do I need to wait on that letter?

Status does not expire when the Green Card does.  Only proof of status does.

Did you get an unrestricted Social Security card from SSA? If not, get it as soon as you get extension letter. This will allow you to use driver license (or state ID) and SS card for I-9 verification. You remain LPR despite your GC expiry and have all the rights of LPR including right to work.
