Hey by the way, did you get a biometrics appointment letter either?

If not, you're probably in my case, where the bio info are current and the appointment is waived.

But if you got it, there is a case number on it.

Don't forget that the first people you speak to are just contractors who can only see what you can see on the case status. You can ask to be transferred to a tier 2, who is a real USCIS IO, but there is often a 1 - 2 hour wait time for that. It might be a stretch to talk to a tier 2 today, but all you can do is try.

Hypnos, people get I-551 stamps without a NOA1 all the time. In fact, that is the main reason that people go to get a I-551, because they did not get the NOA, and need proof of extended LPR. Furthermore, I have seen reports of people getting denied a I-551 stamp if they do have a NOA1 extension letter, because the stamp would be superfluous.

Mac: You can call and talk to a Tier 2 person today to get your case number, as the others described. Then go to your infopass, show proof that you send your package, that it was received, that the check was cashed, and that you have a case number. Explain why you need the stamp. I don't expect you will have any problem at all, but if you do, don't take no for an answer.

My husband did not need to get a stamp (letter eventually came after 5 weeks), but a ton of people in my month group for ROC did because they did not get the NOA1, and no one reported any problem getting a stamp without a NOA1.

Hm, can't say I have heard of that, but if you have personal experience of it then I take you at your word.
