Thank you Cassie! Do you know if you have to wait until the original letter expires to get the I-551 stamp or can you get it earlier?

I'm concerned my 1 year extension letter will expire before I get my green card. I originally filled December 07 at sucky Vermont. It sounds like I can make an info pass appointment to get the I-551 stamp to allow travel but what about employment? Will I technically not be able to work after the extension expires? Is there anything I can do?

Good look everyone!

the stamp is good for both travel and employment, it extends the validity of the extension letter.

Hi,

I have applied for the conditions to be lifted on my green card. So far I have received the NOA stating that I can work and travel for another year and have also received a date for the bometrics.

It is unlikely I will receive the new green card before my current one expires on February the 16th. As I would soon like to travel outside the US soon I just wanted to check if the NOA is sufficent or if I also need to make an infopass appointment to get my passprt stamped.

Good luck to everyone going through this process.

Thanks,

Mark

Thank you all for your advice and well wishes, it's good to know I'm not the only one who has had this problem. Hopefully the AOS interview (Feb 15th) will go well and the EAD situation will become irrelevent. I tried going down the infopass route but Newark (NJ) would not issue me a biometrics appointment on the spot. I have just scheduled a 2nd infopass appointment but don't have much hope.

Best Wishes

I arrived in the US on a K-1 fiance visa. After getting married I applied for my EAD and AOS at the same time. To cut a long story short the EAD experience has been a nightmare and I am in a loophole where they keep telling me I have been approved for the EAD pending the biometrics but they have yet to send me a biometrics appoinyment. Being approved for the EAD pending the biomentrics means they will not give me a interim EAD therefore I can not work. The AOS application has gone more smoothly, I have had the biometrics for the AOS and we have an interview date for Feb 15th. I was wondering if I still dont have the EAD by the time I have my Green Card will the Green Card alone give the the right to work?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Bes regards,
