    I am in the same boat. I moved from New York and my dl was based on the years I purchased but here in Georgia they base it on the greencard.   I patiently await. 11/30 expiration I am hoping they I get to us soon.

    Also interested to hear other experiences when it comes to getting a stamp, particularly in NY. I tried to schedule an appointment but was told that they are scheduled within 30 day of the expiration of the extension letter.

    Typically they want one to call within 30 or even 14 days before expiration. That said, even then they may only do so if one can demonstrate a current need for proving status.

     

    No you don't, assuming you showed them a green card last time.

    Thank you.  The issue is not related to I9 Form/employment verification or work authorization, but to the permanent resident status.  Work requires access to information limited to US citizens or permanent residents. So the system flagged that the 18-month extension is expiring soon, and I was contacted to provide proof of continued LPR status to maintain access.

    Hi,

     

    My 18-month extension letter is expiring in November and my case status has been ready to be scheduled for an interview since April 2020. It seems that the only way to prove LPR status after the expiration of the 18-month extension is to get an I-551 stamp. I am a little concerned because I need to prove LPR status to my employer after the expiration of the 18-month letter to keep my job. Can anyone share their experience with scheduling an InfoPass appointment? I have been reading a few posts and it seems that these appointments are not obtained easily and are for emergencies only.

     

    Thanks!

    Here is something which might help:

     

    https://www.soundimmigration.com/filed-751-one-year-extension-expiring/#:~:text=Conditional lawful permanent residents (C,a period of one year.

     

    "First off, let’s be clear about one thing: once the Form I-751 is filed the individual remains in residency status until the Form I-751 is approved (or denied). That happens by “operation of law,” which is basically a way of saying that it happens automatically. In other words, even if the date of the one-year extension has come and gone, the person remains in legal status until the Form I-751 is adjudicated. The individual remains legally eligible to work, and legally entitled to re-enter the U.S. as a resident."

    1) Card/letter is proof of status and not the status itself.

    2) see 1)

     

    The information you seek is here:

    https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/cisomb-conditional-residence-recommendation-final-02282013_1.pdf

     

    If you require a stamp for ongoing proof of status and employment verification/I-9 when the initial letter expires, that is currently an accepted reason for an infopass appointment for an I-551 stamp in passport (or on an I-94) during covid.

     

    However, be assured that your spouse remains a LPR even without getting a stamp...just no way of proving it to anyone except USCIS without it.  

     

    Thanks so much! I think we will have to get an Infopass appointment for an I-551 stamp to prove LPR status.  I have been reading that a few people had issues trying scheduling these...hopefully we are able to get one without major issues.

    Hi,

     

    Could anyone point me to the language in the code stating that after filing the I-751, an LPR retains legal status until the case is adjudicated? I was under the impression that this was the case but my spouse and I cannot find this information on the USCIS website. My spouse's employer requires permanent resident status to be employed and their 18-month extension will end at the end of November. 

     

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi Everyone,

    Is there anything else we should add? Would the above be enough for USCIS? 

     

    Thanks everyone :)

    Passport Renewal

    in Off Topic

    Posted · Edited by hjha

    Hi everyone, 

     

    My passport will expire in a few months, and I would like to renew it before I go to Morocco.  I read the available information on the Moroccan Embassy in NY website, and it seems like they request sending the old passport with the application packet through mail.  

     

    Did anyone do this before? Also, do they return the old passport? 

     

    I would really appreciate it if someone can shed some light on this.  (Traveling to the embassy might not be an option since I might not be able to take off work) 

     

    Thanks.

    Hi there!

     

    yes I attended 4 job interviews already! Haha Actually I just explained to them that I'm currently adjusting my status and will recieved my EAD this month! I got 2 of them that are willing to wait until I got my approval. Just today I have another interview and I explained my situation. So I told them a rough estimates on when I will recieve my EAD but that may change because of some delays. If the employer is willing to wait for you then they will tell you. There are several jobs opening in my area and I couldn't pass it up without applying. At least I tried and if they can't wait for me that's fine and if they can that's even better! I'm hoping to get my AED on the 17th. I already made a service request online and call USCIS hoping to speed things up but realistically I don't think that'll make a big difference. 

    Congratulations! great to hear that. I haven't been successful in my job search. Would you mind sharing what field/position you applied for?

    Hey everyone! Just to let you know I'm at day 96 and I did a service request on January 30th, had an answer on February 6th saying that my case in under review and I should get a notice shortly. Personnally I don't think it speeds the process, I still don't have any news and it starts to be long! I contacted the congresswoman in my city but no news either for now. 

    We have similar timelines, I filed on November 3rd, they received the package on the 7th and still no news as well.

    I received the same response via email after submitting the service request and it doesn't seem moving. I hope we will hear something next week!

    Hi ! I didn't realize we could attend job interviews ! How did the employers react when you told about your EAD status ? Or did it not come up ? I was concerned I'd be misrepresenting myself, can you tell me about your experience ? Thanks ! 

    I had few phone interviews but no in-person interview. First thing they ask is the visa status. My experience wasn't very positive as they required authorization before going forward. Some of them even require Green Card (Ability to work without duration restrictions). Explaining that the EAD is valid one year while they process GC wasn't enough as nothing is guaranteed when it comes to immigration process. 

    However, I have read here that many people are having job offers before even getting EAD, so it depends.

    Yes I did both the same day. They didn't have any times for the driving there for over a month and half(!) the guy saw my shock and said he could ask his supervisor if I could do it today....duuh yes!! So I did both :) 
    Otherwise I would have had to go around to different dmv's or try to find one with walk-in.

     

    edit: I think he realized how hard it is to be without license when you just moved here from another country..  he was very nice :)

    Lucky indeed that what I was told too. After the computer test, I m supposed to look for a spot online and it might take few months before I can schedule it. 

     

    Indeed, being able to drive is important here
