NOA1 Letter extension date?

[familiamupi 3]

We recently received the NOA1 letter extending my husband's residency for a year. My question is: is that 1 year from the date the current green card expires, or 1 year from the date of the NOA1 letter?

it's one year from the date the green card expires

This is a common question and there is a lot of contradiction on this point. The NoA1 letter doesn't actually specify, and I believe it's never formally been made clear by USCIS because in the past processing times were faster and it was a moot point.

 

In my experience, my local DMV insists it means one year from the date on the letter and not one year from the green card expiration date, and this is after I asked them to escalate the issue with USCIS. A tier 1 USCIS representative also said it was one year from the receipt date on the NoA1 letter, but people in these forums have experienced both interpretations.

Interesting. I renewed my license with the extension letter, and they said they had to go by the date on my green card.
