Congratulations to all the recent approval recipients, especially Rocks who got that weird 6-month notice.

For what it's worth, I just wanted to share my experience in using the I-551 stamp (the endorsement you get in your passport, typically at an INFOPASS appointment, to confirm US residency at foreign and US ports)and expired Green Card with the Extension Letter

Foreign Departure Ports: I have entered the United States several times since my Green Card expired. These entries are typically from Europe and Central & South America. For some reason, the I-551 stamp in the passport really throws off the airline officials at the departure ports. To test the stand-alone efficacy of the I-551 stamp, I always present my passport only (no Green Card, no Extension Letter) and point to the stamp. The airline staff always look at it in confusion, make a few phone calls, and then ask me for my Green Card. Upon handing that over, they seem much more satisfied and then ask if I have an Extension Letter. Upon seeing this, I get waved through, or asked to wait for a quick computer check which typically takes an additional 2-3 minutes. The I-551 stamp by itself has NEVER worked, and I ALWAYS get asked for the Green Card even after showing the valid stamp.

At US Entry Ports: I adopt a different tactic. When I get to Immigration, I simply hand over my passport and Green Card (no Extension Letter). The processing is identical to when my Green Card was valid. I do the fingerprints, my card gets swiped, my passport gets stamped and I get waved through. No officer at an immigration port has EVER asked me to produce the Extension Letter.

I guess what I'm saying is:

a) weigh the usefulness of surrendering your expired Green Card at an INFOPASS appointment just because you're getting a valid I-551 stamp. Not all INFOPASS interviews end in the surrender of the Green Card, but be aware of its limitations (which may be unique only to my case) at foreign ports in the event that you are in a situation where you may need to surrender it and

b) the residency extension information is available for US officers to review simply by swiping your card. They do not seem to need the Extension Letter to confirm your status. The Letter seems to serve the greatest use at the foreign port of departure

very interesting.

i am wondering if this informaiton is going to cause people to agonize over the decision of whether or not to get the i-551 stamp. if the processing time, specifically for VSCers, truly is 7-10 months (just a rough guess! dont freak out!), i feel like the stamp may become a more significant part of the ROC process.

and thanks for racking up all those frequent flier miles for the benefit of VJ!

lol, luckily my job lets me keep the miles.

The decision to get the stamp is really complicated. It could simply be a consequence of my specific travel routes, and not the general travel experience. Other counries, like Canada and Mexico for instance, might readily recognise the stamp without any issues. Also, take into account what people have said about employment. Having a validity in one tangible authorisation like the I-551 stamp must be more reassuring to employers trying to confirm work eligibility than looking first at an expired Green Card and then a seperate document that says said Green Card is valid. Unnecessary noise from an employer's point of view that the I-551 stamp eliminates.

I'm sure there are other considerations as well but my unsolicted advice is simple: get the stamp if you have no international travel plans for the forseeable future OR if you can be certain you won't be required to surrender your expired Green Card.
