Extenstion letter expiration date?

[super2007 1]

Hello

 

Just called USCIS and they are told me they are processing April applications.  

 

My questions:

i-797 Notice of Action-this letter says your resident status is extended for additional year.  Is this the extension letter i need to travel with?

Receipt date on NOA is 07/05/06 and green card expired on 09/06/16.  Does my resident status expires on 07/05/17? (1 year from letter recieved date) or expires on 09/06/17? (1 year from expired greencard)

USCIS rep suggested i make appointment with local office and see if they can extend the resident status. What should i do?

 

 

07/04/06 Case received by USCIS

07/05/16 NOA1 received

08/01/16 Biometrics completed

The 1 year extension letter extends the validity of the expiration date on your green card, example: My card expires on July 20, 2017. The letter extends that to expire on July 20, 2018. If my I-751 has not been approved before 30 days prior to that date which would be June 20, 2018, then I need to make an infopass appointment at my local USCIS to have an I-551 stamp placed into my passport.

 

In your case:

Your status expires 09/06/2017

Click this link for better understanding of the extension Letter. You can read useful information on the said link whatever kind of docs or card you might have from USCIS. Check page 38.

The extension letter is from the date the two year GC expired.  It is not like your first GC expired when the ROC was filed.

That is incorrect. The letter extends your expiration of your permanent residence which expired on 09/06/2016. It's extended for one year from that date. Not the letter!

So i have called 3 different rep on USCIS number and all 3 have said extension expires one year after i received the letter 07/5/17.  I eventually asked for lvl 2 immigration person and got a phone from them where rep said extension expires 1 year from my green card! i know you guys were right but this is so stupid as they contradict them self.

Exactly.

Never trust the mis-information line. They are just operatives - probably reading largely from a script - and not immigration officers.

 

The document linked to above HERE  - specifically in this case, page 38 - is still current policy, as used and referenced by immigration officers at ports of entry.

Personally,  I would believe what people are saying on VJ, because the people working on the phones at USCIS probably deal with numerous types of visas and hundreds of phone calls. I  guess as in any call centre/center environment,  they would not know everything.  A jack of all trades and a master of none comes to mind!

 

Also, it really depends on when you are thinking of travelling and for how long. If you are out of the country say for  a few months, then an info pass for an i55i stamp would be the way to proceed. 

 

If not remember to take the original extension letter with you and not a photocopy as there have been cases of people having problems re-entering the country.
