Actual NOA1? Do I need it since I have I-551?

I am just wondering since until now I don't have the NOA1 but i had I-551 stamped on my passport, do I really need to have the actual extension letter?

Hi joan/roger,

I-551 stamp or NOA is the same thing i.e one Year temp. GC. Although I-551 stamp looks more legit to employers and Immigration Officials in other countries, it's infact

the same thing.You got I-551 stamp coz you didn't get NOA, so don't worry about it. Plus now you have biometric letter so i think you are in good shape, meaning

just wait and see. BTW you can do an early biometric appoint if you sould like Check if your ASC is open on saturday.

Google search:" USCIS ASC Locator" to locate your ASC.

Good Luck.
