Don't worry , worst case scenario they will interview you . I think that way you can explain officer everything, why your marriage ended and why don't you have much evidences.

Fingers crossed. I guess you just have to follow your lawyer's lead.

Our letter was expiring end of June. So went to the local USCIS office after taking an infopass appointment. Painless experience, stamped the passport. They took the expired green card and letter as the stamp in passport is good for another year.

Looks like June VSC filers are finally moving! Very exciting as we are early July VSC filers. Anyone know if there is a spreadsheet of VSC filers for June so we can see what percentage have been approved?

I agree with you on this.

I also noticed you are in Oregon. I used to live in Hillsboro (Close to the TV highway) :-).

I know that area well. We're currently north of there near the airport. Love this area!

You may find just a slight bit of reassurance here: 

 

Thanks for the link. We traveled to the PH last September and almost missed our connecting flight out of Hong Kong due to the expired GC. The Air Canada (not recommended) gate person refused to accept the extension letter. We had to urge her to call her superiors before she finally conceded that it was legit. She then gave us a lecture about how we needed to have the letter with us when traveling (duh!).

 

The moral here is that nothing replaces an unexpired GC - the letter is fine up until the point you encounter your first moron.

I would hate for my wife to have to surrender her GC. Your average ICE agent knows what a GC is, but not what an I-551 stamp means. In today's political climate you need your GC to be current, and this is why the processing delay is so troubling to us.

But an expired GC is of no value. I asked the officer should we get a letter from him that the GC was surrendered. But he assured that an expired GC is of no value and before they never used to collect expired GC, but now their orders are to collect expired GC or letters. 

Also it is not just the stamp. I saw him recording details in their computer system. Plus details are written on the passport along with the stamp.

In my case when I went for infopass in Manhattan on May 25th, they didn't take my expired GC nor the letter....

I guess each officer is different. But we are least worried about taking away the expired GC, since we have the stamp.

What you say make perfect legal sense. But ICE agents aren't legal experts and seeing even an expired GC at least means that you were ONCE a legal resident.  You could then argue about your extension letter and make your case. With the I-551 stamp you might have to pay a visit to a detention center before things get sorted out. You'll be good in the end but it won't be a pleasant experience.

 

I'm admittedly talking worst case scenarios here, but there have been ICE roundups here so I'm not being totally paranoid. I think the USCIS should cut new GCs for the 1-year extension. Then there would be no ambiguity.

I got my info pass this morning in Phoenix,  AZ. The lady at USCIS doubted about stamp so she went in the back to check something.

5 min later she came back and said she will provide me with a stamp.

so she took my old GC and original of NOA. She said infopass is valid for 6 months. So I can travel outside of the US without problems.

Who knows how long I have to wait till I will receive my new GC. Honestly, this process is a pain.
