My wife's I-797 expired and now she needs to renew her drivers license on Tuesday without any valid documentation of legal residence. We didn't think ahead and now were gonna have some issues. Get your stamp as soon as you can to avoid the issues we are facing.

My DL is not expired until 2025 😊

I used online chat with USCIS, they basically meant that if I don‘t need to travel or work outside of The US, I really don‘t need the stamp because it has an expire date.  

Any SRC got the card already? 
My case status hasn't changed since 2/27/2020. UGHHH my extension letter is going to expire on 10/12/2020. 
I applied to citizenship months ago, that case hasn't moved forward neither, very frustrating. 😨

Should I call in to ask another extension letter of stamp even I don't have travel plan this year? 
I just don't feel comfortable holding an expired green card and expired letter.

Have you received your transfer notice,  what's your new office of jurisdiction? I am Dallas filer SRC

No, I don't even know if they will maid me a transfer notice. I checked that online. 

Also I have no idea which one is new office of jurisdiction, but I'm located in Dallas as well.  

Hi there, 

I applied N-400 online on 2/26 and next day my I-751 (SRC) case transferred and new office has jurisdiction.

Also on 3/6 I received paper noticed of bio appointment for N-400, soooo I hope everything move faster after I applied N-400. 

In September, I received "Fingerprint review was completed." both online and paper notice, so I guess they use my previous bio file. 

In early November, I receiver paper Biometrics appointment notice, online status didn't change. I couldn't get a hold of USCIS, so I still went to the bio appt on 11/12.

On 11/13, my online status changed to ""Fingerprint review was completed."  but with 11/12 date on it. 

my case # stats with SRC. 

Anyone has same situation?

Hi!

Currently I have a US job and am living in here full-time. I am about to send in my I-751 petition and I'm wondering if I can continue to work during this time - if I am correct they give you another conditional GC for the waiting period, correct?

Thanks very much.

You can still work. You will receive 18 months extension letter that says "During this extension, you are authorized to work and travel"

That’s weird. We’ve never taken off the “for work only with DHS authorization” of whatever after my husband came in on his k-1 visa.

 

no we didn’t have to fill that out. His status as a green card holder was never brought up. He’s also the main person on the lease. I’m considered a co-resident.

because I was F-1 OPT visa when I applied SS card, that's probably the reason it's for work only. But when I applied green card and I-751, I also wrote that number down on application, it didn't cause any issue at all. 😔

I guess every property management company has very different way to do tenant screening.

This is kind of interesting.

What tipped them off that there was an immigrant? Was there a question asking if you were legal in the US? or was it phrased in some way that let them know there was an immigrant living in the home?

When we've done apartment things online, all we've ever had to provide was social security number and drivers license. I don't believe they ever mentioned anything about the green card or anything.

Good to know, but as others said, just because it happens doesn't make it right or legal. You're legally in the country, you have a paper extending the full benefits of the green card, just because they can't understand the terminology doesn't make your extension any less valid. Take it up to their corporate offices if they are owned by a management company, and as others said, get it in writing. Contact them through e-mail instead of phone if that helps.

They ran my SSN and showed that it's for working only, I applied SS card after I graduated from school, long time ago. 
so they called my husband first to ask what that means, he has no idea but he mentioned I'm green card holder. 
That's why they asked me to email copy of green card or any proof of legal status. 

This is first time this happened to us, but after I explained in email and on the phone, we got approved. 😂

It could be it's their first time to see extension letter as well. 

Have you fill out "Texas Apartment Association  Supplemental Rental Application for Non-U.S. Citizens" ? they also asked me to fill up this.

Talk to them and explain circumstances to the rental company but if they still don't take it

 

Ask them to give u the denial reason in writing with the rental company head or water mark with appropriate representative signature. (If they are so confident then they should be able to give u in writing)

 

When u have the writing u can file a complaint to both state and federal government with your senator's or Congress members involved.

 

U can claim either discrimination or inadequate reason to reject the application

Thanks for the tip!

They approved our application, but I learned what I can do if this situation happen again. 

The application system automatically notify leasing office that our application is conditional, that's before they asked for my green card and other documents. 

So here's my experience recently 

We applied rental apartment online for the apartment that we really like, couple days later, leasing office called us that our information isn't enough, 

they asked for my legal status which is weird because it didn't happen at my current rental apartment. 

So I emailed copy of my expired green card and 18 months extension letter. But it's not over yet 😭

Leasing office contacted me said "yea...the letter says you can work and travel, doesn't says you are legal living in the U.S. "

I was very speechless about this argument, so I explained I can use the letter come back to the U.S., and I'm just trying to apply an apartment here. 

then she said "Your SSN is for working only, we need to see the card to verify the information."

wow...I have been used the card since graduated from school, never had any issues. 

I was planning to update it after I'm citizen, didn't think it could be the issue now. 

I'm just share this experience to let people know this could happen

and probably should update SSN information after you get the green card. 

Also I looked into laws that only CA and NY can't ask tenant's legal status. 

Anyone has SRC got their fingerprint appointment done?

Any SRC got bio appointment letter? I have gotten 2-3 emails "We are sitll reviewing your case" so far. 

Hi everyone, 

I wish I know this place 2 years early lol
My GC expires date is 4/12/2019, and I just mailed out I-751 application package through USPS today, will arrive USCIS PO BOX tomorrow.
