Do you think it is Ok wait for couple weeks before go to get a stamp even my extension will expire in 7 days? I know I couldn't  apply for a job with a expire status, I means will I be in trouble legally???? 

 

It is fine to not get a stamp or to get it well after expiry of a previous proof of extension.

 

Even if you do not get a stamp, you are still a LPR and your eligibility to work remains.

OK, that is good to know. Thanks!!!!! But I think my passport was expired too. CSC is way behind the timeline, so frustrated.  

Why would you let your passport expire ? without valid passport you cant prove your citizenship. Doesnt matter if your green card is in process....valid passpirt is must must....renew that urgently, expedited renewal if possible and get a stamp on it

Does anyone know if there have been more denials because of trump for the i751? Were set to send ours out in october and know they are way behind were in Texas, but has anyone had problems with theirs since trump took office ? We saw he made a statement that he was going to cut the approval rate by 50% but didnt specify any specifics .... stressful stuff....

So we just saw that the i751 filers have to file to californua office? Is this new? We thought we filed to texas office.... so if we file to calofornia we have our interview in california or is the interview set up in texas where we live... 😥

I dont know if you are acting dumb here but I am giving you benefit of doubt. 751 is only processed in CSC or VSC. your local USCIS office has nothing to do with it. They come in to play when are doing AOS or naturalization.

It is so great hearing that!!!!!! I already set up an appointment in 16th which is the earliest available data to get a stamp. Thank you so very much.

I don't think Trump is the problem, he is more focus on H1B and stuff........lol....... I don't know about Texas but CSC lag behinds is because they move VSC cases to CSC. Now a lots of August VSC cases got approved but we are still stuck in JUNE!!!!!!! I already made appointment in 16th and hopefully could get stamp. I will let you know, just in case you do not get yours in time. lol

Trump has nothing to do with the USCIS yet. He seems to be more focused on eliminating the amount of work-visas being issued (America first).

If an application gets denied, it's because of mistakes being made when filing or incorrectly responding to a request for evidence.  Since Trump took office, more people have been applying for a family based visa, which can be the reason of backlogs. ROC is known to take 1+ years.

Your interview should be in Texas. I would hope that they don't expect people to travel all the way to CA for an interview. We are in TX as well. They are so backed up on processing i-751s right now. The last I checked, the timeline noted that they are only on June 2016 applications. We just filed in Feb 2017, so, we have a bit to go before they process ours. Best of luck to you all.

So as my extension does not expire until October 7th and I am due back to the USA on October 4th I have decided that I am not going to spend the extra couple of hundreds of dollars it would cost me to take a day off work and either drive 4 hours each way to Chicago or fly at an even greater expense. They are still only processing June 25th at CSC and I am July 18th 2016.  I seem to remember reading that my work status is still ok even though my card and extension has expired....am I correct in that?

You are correct. It's a good idea to get the I-551 stamp when you are able so that you do have up-to-date proof of legal status, and you'll need the stamp if you're going to do further international travel before you receive your 10-year GC, but with regards to employment, you can show a state ID/driver's license + unrestricted SSN for I-9 purposes instead of any immigration-related documents (such as the expired GC + extension letter or the stamp).
