My green card also expires on 26 Feb. I talked to USCIS agent few days ago and he said I can use extension letter that i received 2 years ago with my Green Card( 2 year GC) for the time being (until I receive I-751 notice). So i checked all the papers they sent me 2 years ago. I actually have a paper marked as "IMPORTANT INFORMATION - SAVE THIS NOTICE  Use this tear-off portion to speed your application for an extention or replacement card."  I asked him four times that it's a 2 years old letter how can i use it as a extention letter for renewing my driving license etc. but he said i can use it until I receive I-751 notice. It was a very new thing to hear.

It may require some persuasion. Someone started one day before their card expired. In that case, some argument was needed for their HR to accept. Good luck!!

I’d be interested to hear what his HR manager says, so if you are comfortable sharing, please let us know how it goes! It would make a difference if I’m without my Green Card before I get my receipt number.

I really hate the arguing in here. This is supposed to be a place of encouragement. Unfortunately all of our tensions are high because quite frankly last year it was 90 days and it really should be the same this year. What @PKG1090 (my fiancé) is stating is it really sucks when people after us are upset about not receiving and expecting to receive their approvals prior to people who filed before them.   I understand that cases are all different and I sadly hate to admit that I wish our case was approved before everyone’s but I’m not on here talking about how they skipped our case because I fully know that there are people way before me that have waited longer for their approval. It’s called courtesy. It really is a giant slap in the face to those people when others who filed later than us say “damn why did they skip our number...again”. As an earlier filer, it does make me say “#######?!”  Because why should later filers get approved before us?  I know it’s the system but my heart still says it’s wrong.  
 
I get that you are frustrated.  Like he said it’s been 15 months since I have been able to hold him...he lives in an esta country but it was denied due to lake of proof he will go back to the UK.  The amount of stuff that he has been through and gone thru just in order to spend time with me is amazing. He is an amazing man.  It’s easy to judge when you don’t know the situation. Many people (not just him @PKG1090) have said that it hurts to see people at later dates talking about how bad it is for them....it’s bad for all of us. Express your frustration. That is fine but please know that there are people that have been waiting longer that may also be frustrated...maybe even more frustrated than you are. I know it’s hard to imagine but everyday is worse than the day before. We have 173 days of frustration, depression, anxiety, stress, and loneliness and just when you think it’s not going to get worse...it just keeps getting worse. Not knowing when it’s going to happen. Wondering if someone lost our case or if there is something wrong. None of us have a clue what our futures hold...there is nothing worse than not knowing when your going to hold the person you love so much again.  I’m sorry that all of us are going thru this but my sympathy lays more with those that know nothing since May 11 or before.  ...and of course us (just because I care about our case most...as all of us do). Just be respectful that there are people that have waited a hell of a lot longer than all of us and they really just don’t want to hear it. 
 
Do not laugh or mock other people...it’s not necessary. He was making a general statement that wasn’t pointed at anyone. There is no need to go after him. He is extremely frustrated with this whole thing. We just want to be together and it is very emotional for both of us....for all of us. 
 

That's how I'm feeling! They're just dancing all around our number (have been for days). Day 175...

There are May 11th cases showing still received.

My number 6583. I got a text message on my phone "Your case WAC***** is now updated. Check "My Case Status" at www.uscis.gov". When I did (I thought it is going to be RFE) I saw "Case Was Approved". Later I also saw it on @Shoegum scan

He most definitely has stolen my heart 😊

That's what I said yesterday and was approved today. Let's hope it will work for you, too. I am May 11th, too. Just wait a little bit longer, maybe it is just a day away... it is very difficult and frustrating, hope pretty soon you can say: "It is my day!"

It better not be until 2022. I want @PKG1090here now!  I want a family with him and my clock may not last that long lol. 

Dear God, is this it? @PKG1090 and @Cruzincrystal stole each others heart? Oh, I'm lovin' this !!!! 
 
May I be the first to wish you all the best in future ! (and let it all start with a lovely little NOA2) 

It better not be until 2022. I want @PKG1090here now!  I want a family with him and my clock may not last that long lol.

All is always said with kindest heart @PKG1090.  
 
 
 
 
 
@PKG1090 can't wait to see you go through the finish line. If need be, you and I will sit here until 2022 if need be, but we will get through. It will be - done.  
 
 
ps @Shoegum is the candy man, loved by all 

Ok, this may sound like a rant - because it is:-
 
I get so tired of seeing posts from people who are only on day 160 - 165; saying things like “let’s pray they work May 24th tomorrow..”!!
 
We are May 15th filers and are on day 172 here in the UK - with no end to this process in sight!
 
I do not agree that we are “done - D O N E” (as posted earlier); because we have NOT received the NOA 2 - until such time - we are NOT done!!!
 
 
For those of you who have been approved - fabulous, great news, well done - but...
 
PLEASE spare a thought for those of us who are still going through the emotional turmoil and distress of being apart from our fiancée(s) / fiancé(s)! 
 
 
Oh and FYI: @Shoegum is going though the same process as us too. He uploads the scans as a favour to us all - please remember that and to not ‘get on his case’, for him uploading the scans at different times! He is not a USCIS employee. He is also going through the same emotional turmoil and distress as all of us!
 
 
I sincerely wish you all, all the very best.

@Shoegum just curious as to what your case number is.  You have been so helpful to others, I would really like to track it if you wouldn’t mind. 
 

I’ve called on the way home from work before at 5:30 cst. Eastern would have been at 6;30 then. 
 

I just tried to call the USCIS and the recording said to call back between 8-6pm. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t it currently 4:55 there? 
 

My Fiancé and I are so incredibly frustrated with this process. I haven’t been able to kiss and hold him for 15 months due to the travel visa denial and my job requiring one year before vacation. My one year anniversary is today but God I miss him!  We are at 169 days today and I am struggling to stay positive. I just want to be with the man I love with all of my heart, body, and soul.  Grrrrrrrr
