    For you, it should be #3 a lawful permanent resident.

    You already had your 2-yr GC and you are in the ROC process.  Even though the GC expired, you have the extension letter and you have filed for ROC, so you continue to have a good status and be a lawful permanent resident.

    Thank you so much! I ticked #3 as well for my current job (last time my GC was not expired, so I used GC + DL --> 2 years later the HR asked me for updated GC status for re-verification purpose per HR; I provided her my expired GC + extension letter + DL). Just wondering, in the future, if I would like to change work, if we tick #3 and provide the Unrestricted SS Card + DL license, will the new employer ask our LPR status since it will show our Alien # in the form?

    If you are doing ROC it means you have a green card, hence you are a A lawful permanent resident. Tick number (3).

    Number (2) is an interesting category and based on some google searching it comes down to US territories.

     

    Got it, thanks a lot! I thought whenever we tick the #3, it should be the un-expired GC + DL OR Expired GC + Extension letter + DL. So, I still can tick #3 and provide DL and unrestricted SS Card instead?

    That is why I always do driver license + unrestricted ssn card... nobody bugs you until your driver's license expires....

    Hi, when you use these two documents for I9 (DL + unrestricted SS Card), which one should we tick on the USCIS Form I-9? - I am not sure if it should be (2) or (3):

     

    1. A citizen of US --> definitely not this one, because I am in the ROC process

    2. A non citizen national of the US

    3. A lawful permanent resident (Alien Registration Number/USCIS Number)

    4.  An alien authorized to work

     

    Thanks!

    Can you share the step by step SSA SOP for the expired GC and 48 month extension letter here, that would be great.  My wife and I anticipate being in the same boat as  you in about a year.  Thanks.

    Here we go! Hopefully this link works https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0110211025

    Update of my SSA visit today.. I went to a different SSA office today, and for real the staff had no idea about the extension letter. She said your GC is expired, nothing we can do to remove your work restriction on the current SS card until you get the physical update GC in hand. I told her, this is why I am bringing the extension letter (48 months), she was saying our system only accept the physical GC. In the end, I showed her the printed paper of step by step SOP from their website for accepting expired GC + extension letter. I got the link from VJ (sorry, I couldn’t find the link here from my phone). But, I am so grateful for VJ, it’s super helpful! She looked into the printed paper (I highlighted the information), she said this is the 1st I handle this, and good thing you got these papers printed LOL, she sighed and made copies of my documents. It works, she said I should be receiving the unrestricted card in the next two weeks! Thank you so much VJ family!!

    Update for Ohio DL, after 4 years receiving yearly DL renewal, finally I decided to apply for DL renewal from another BWV Office last week. And, they're able to give me 4 years validity this time based on my 48 months extension letter..... Now, I have to deal with SSA office (I will try different office as well this week), and I'm hoping the other office will be able to lift the restriction on my SS card..

    I'm wondering if I should wait to renew until I get my extension letter or just renew now and do it based off of my greencard (which expires jan 3rd 2024) so at least I have some extra leeway before I have to use the extension letter to renew...in case they don't do the entire 24 months...

    In my opinion, it's better to wait until you get the extension letter and renew it when it close to your DL expiration date (since yours is valid until later this year)..If you renew now, they could give you validity until Jan 2024 (your GC expiration date) only.. When does it expire?

     

    My previous DL expired the same date as GC expiration date last year, which was August 2022, I applied ROC on May 2022 - got my 24 months extension letter and renewed my DL July 2022.. surprisingly the validity of my DL is up to July 2023.. The DL expiration date they gave me is exactly 1 year after the date I renewed my DL, not based on the extension letter.. :( But again, it might depend on your local BMV--they might have better understanding staff than mine..

    Hi - not sure if I named this topic right - but I will be coming up on time for me to apply for my ROC later this year. My only question at the moment is:

     

    I have a valid Ohio drivers license that will expire later this year (I applied for it based off of my EAD - and received a green card after I had already gotten the DL)

    My GC will not expire until 1/3/24, so I considered going in to renew my DL based off of the GC. However, the earliest I can file for my ROC is October of this year, so when the I-751 is submitted, will there be an extension letter for the I-551? Will there be NOAs?

    Am I able to use the extension letter to renew my DL? I cannot seem to find anything on the Ohio BMV site about the particular verbiage for the form name, mostly just the usual: Proof of Residency, SS, name, DOB etc.

    That is my only concern as I do need to drive to work, I'd like to keep making money, after all lol

     

    Thanks for all your help and any corrections!

    Agreed with Mike , yes you can use the extension letter to renew your DL. However, it might depend on the local BMV on how long your future DL valid to.. I am in Ohio and too bad, when I used the 24 months extension letter to renew the DL last year, they only gave me 1 year DL validity. I have to renew my DL again this year, but I will try to use the 48 months extension this time, see if they will at least give me more than 1 year validity..

    If no status update, most likely it's extension letter. Keep us updated.

    Yeah, that's what I thought.. I sure will update here later :) Congratulations on receiving yours! LOL

    You haven't gotten the 48 months extension yet, right? Might be that!

    Yeah, I am one of the lucky one that haven't gotten the 48 months love letter LOL.. Did you get your status updated when receiving yours?
