    I am surprised that the 18 month extension letter is still valid since you lost your physical Green Card. I was under the impression that the extension letter is only valid when presented in CONJUNCTION with the physical GC.

     

    Me thinks you will suddenly "find" your GC soon, but just be careful as I've read on these very forums that once you get a stamp the extension letter becomes invalid. 

     

    Just want you to be careful, that's all. Good luck!

    Yeah, I think you're right. I read the receipt notice and it says "this notice presented with your permanent resident card"... which I don't have so I guess I'll just have to go back and get the stamp in a year if I still don't have my new green card.

    @londongal Awesome news, very happy for you. You gave me confidence to go and get one.

    So all you took was USPS wespage printout that it was delivered, your Receipt number from USCIS webpage and greencard?

    What did you explain them?

    Yes, it was very pain-free I was actually surprised. I only received my e-notification of receipt on the 11th but that didn't seem to be a problem.

     

    Before I even got a chance to explain I needed it for my new job, the guy already confirmed he would give me the extension stamp no problem.

     

    I took:

     

    - USPS delivery confimation

    -Receipt no from USCIS webpage

    - Photocopy of green card

    - My foreign passport

    - Drivers Licence

     

    That's all they looked at. They did take my finger prints to in his words check there are no arrest warrants against me. So they just confirmed my identity and ran a background check.

     

    I was in and out within 25 minutes. This was the Dallas office

    @londongal Please update us on your info pass appointment, Thanks

    I’m very pleased and excited to say I got my stamp and it was a very pleasant and easy process. The gentleman just looked at my USCIS receipt number which I printed from that USCIS egov website someone else on here shared & I also had printed off the delivery confirmation I got from USPS. 

     

    All he did was stamp my passport ... it’s valid for a year and he explained its valid for work and travel. It will not invalidate my extension letter that’s on its way.

     

    very happy! 

     

    Oh and he also checked and said that my receipt notice was posted on the 10th.

    To be fair, the stamp is not part of the usual process for the removal of conditions situation.  It’s a temporary patch to potentially deal with the uncertainty.

     

    Im not a hundred percent sure if this is the norm or just one officer/office’s take on the I-551 stamp.

     

    In an ideal situation no one submitting their I-751 should ever need the stamp because you’d have a physical extension letter as your proof.

     

    Its frustrating but at this point I’d ask for a replacement extension letter.  Mind you, the last time I spoke with a Tier 1 officer they said the letters were taking 60 days to reach us.

     

    More than likely you’ll have your biometrics letters before you receive the hard copy of your NOA and if you still don’t have it by your appointment, call USCIS or request online that a new letter be sent to you.

    I’m not sure what to do. I lost my green card within the 90 days before it expired so I couldn’t get a replacement I had to file for the ROC... so I’ve been offered a job and all I have is a photocopy of my expired GC (yes, it’s expired now 😞 ) and a social security card with the restrictions on it. I’m definitely not going to get the NoA letter any time soon so I guess I’ll just have to settle for the stamp? And then request another extension letter... is that what happens? This is so confusing.

    @londongal I had an infopass appt today (which I scheduled before I got to know about my case number over the phone) and the officer gave me the following options:

     

    1. Get my passport stamped for a year, in which case I would have to turn in my GC and also the NOA that is on its way won't work as an extension. 

    2. Wait for the NOA to arrive and which will most likely come with an 18-month extension. 

     

    I decided to wait for the NOA. Hope this gives you an idea of what to expect at your infopass appt. 

    Why on earth do they make it so that the Stamp invalidates the GC and extension letter? Doesn’t that defeat the object of us needing the stamp while waiting for the extension letter.

    It's my husband's cards and I haven't looked at them in some time.  But I do know that his DL is still currently valid.  I don't remember what his ss card says lol.

    Oh lol! I was hoping you’d say SS has restrictions but he was probably smart and got the restrictions removed when he got his green card *sigh* 

     

    i got offered a job yesterday so Im stressing

    I cant remember if we talked about this yet but it is probably much easier to get your new Social Security card, without the "valid for work only..." stamp.  You could take care of that tomorrow with no appointment.  That plus your drivers liscence is all that is needed to prove legality to work.

     

    Look here: the I-9 is what all new employees fill out. you need one from column A or once from B plus one from C.

    My wallet was stolen so I don’t have my expired green card (it’s expired now)

    Basically USCIS wants to see if your NOA is issued after 30 days, if no NOA is issued by then, they'll see about arranging the I-551 stamp.  That's the impression I got from the USCIS officer.

     

    Not a problem, but yeah it's either or from what she told me today.  So definitely verify the information over the phone and see what's up.

    Okay, I will reschedule my infopass appt to 30 days after I filed. thank you

    USCIS won't give out the I-551 stamp if your extension letter has already  been issued.

     

    That's what the USCIS officer said to  me today when I asked about it.

     

    If your extension letter/I-797C hasn't been issued, call USCIS and see about setting up an appointment at your local office.

    What do we need in order to get the stamp? I'm thinking of getting one asap since I am trying to get a new job
