Yes, I'm going to get a I-551 stamp as well. My extension letter is expiring and I still don't have my acceptance / approval letter for the 10 year green card. (CSC filer)

Good luck! :-)

Congratulations!!!! 🍾 🎊 🎈 

I’m a June 2017 filer with VSC and trying to see where things have reached through earlier months filers! So, did you get approved without having an interview??

The filers of "VSC" who filed in March 2017 are getting their responses now.

So you will hear something in Apr-May-Jun

Tick, tock, tick tock.  I guess one day they might get around to all of us before we collect our pensions!

THanks! Do I need the whole packet though?

You don't need to bring any kind of packet. You need to bring appointment notice, valid state I.D or drivers license, expired GC, extension letter and your passport to the appointment.

Good morning all.  Well another week... Hopefully this week will have much more approvals than last week not just from Vermont but from California too.   Texas take over some of the 1-129 today so hopefully California have more time to concentrate on ROC.  Good luck everyone, I look forward to hearing about your ROC approvals.

Hey guys, quick question

 

Like many of you here, my GC will expire in May. The extension letter extends the status: GC expiration date +1 year or date of the extension letter + 1 year?

To make it simple, is it 1 year from the date marked on the extension letter (when it was issued) or 1 year after the GC expired? 

We might have talked about it before but, or I lost track of the conversation or it wasn't "clear". I believe its 1 year after the GC expired but wanted to hear from you guys. If its 1 year from the date marked on the extension letter, I would need to schedule an info pass as soon as I can, haha!

 

Thank you, guys!

1 year after the green card expire so you are good till May 2018.

Thinking of after we file N-400 when hubby goes to Biometrics if he can ask for a stamp then or does he have to do a separate infopass?

Thanks so much! They gave me a 6 month entension. So I said “I thought it’s a year of extension” and she shook her head and said “nope it’s a 6 month extension”. I asked what happens if I still don’t have my green card then, and she said I just get another stamp. 

 

I saw in the stamp that she crossed out “one year” and it’s the date from today to 6 months. So not 6 months from when my extension letter is expiring. 

 

Did anybody had the same situation or a different one?

I just realized when we file for hubby's N-400 and get the stamp being as N-400 processing is a year and 3 months in Minnesota that would mean we'd have to get another stamp the next year? Am I correct?

Hi, your naturalization process would most probably be done under a year. The processing time you see online is not accurate. I don't think so you would need to get another extension I-551 stamp until or unless he needs to travel.

Really? I wonder why the DMV issued me a Driver’s license that expires the date of the extension letter and not the GC!

His work may request to see it at some point after his letter has expired. He changed jobs two months ago where he provided his expired GC and extension letter. HR might ask for continued proof of legality after the expiration date of his letter has passed which is February 27th. His GC expiration anniversary is May 22nd.

Depends on the state. They generally don't understand immigration. Our DMV gave my hubby a state id expiring not till 2022.

It seems there is no solid rule for this; some people got 1 year, others got 6 months (all starting from the date of the stamp). Hopefully you will get your approval letter soon!
