Sorry, one more thing, my favorite quote from USCIS in their guidance to employers handbook is 11.4 Avoiding Discrimination in Recruiting, Hiring, and the Form I-9 Process.....
 
Employers should not:
 
Request that an employee who presented an unexpired Permanent Resident Card present a new document when the Permanent Resident Card expires.  
 

Ok, provided you showed your employer your green card previously as part of the I9 verification process, they should not be asking for it again even though it's about to expire. Your employer should only need to re-verify EADs when they expire. Below are excerpts from the USCIS website! To be fair most employers just don't know!
 
EMPLOYERS SHOULD NOT REVERIFY:
U.S. citizens and noncitizen nationals Lawful permanent residents who presented a Form I-551, Permanent Resident or Alien Registration Receipt card for Section 2. This includes conditional residents.  
Note: Reverification is never required for U.S. citizens and noncitizen nationals. Do not reverify the following documents after they expire: U.S. passports, U.S. passport cards, Alien Registration Receipt Cards/Permanent Resident Cards (Form I-551), and List B documents.

Hi do you mind if I ask was the I-797 you received in the mail an original one or did it look like a copy? I heard that some people who put in a SR ended up getting a copy I-797 in the mail. I was going to put in a SR as I'm still waiting on my receipt letter but I'm afraid they will just send me a copy. I have to travel overseas in a couple of months and don't want to show a border official a copy I-797 when I return. I want to try and wait out an original I797 in the mail. Thanks!
