NEED HELP ABOUT INFOPASS! PLEASE HELP!

[Giona 44]

Hi, my extension letter from uscis expire last august of 2017, now my question is what will i show my employer if they need a proof that i am legally allowed to work here specially if they specify that it shouldnt be expired and if i did get my passport stamped (scheduled my infopass) will that be enough proof to retain my job or accept a new job?

Per my experience if you getting in to a new job some employers tend to reject the letter. The stamp on the passport will be accepted. 

 

If you already in the job most of them won't check periodically.. I know there are some especially hospitals

I-9 instructions, see the list of acceptable documents.  Driver's license and unrestricted SSN card are good. 

[Ketsuban 1,034]

They cannot demand to see your green card, your extension letter or the stamp. They are legally obligated to accept a driver's license (or State ID if you don't drive) and your SSN. If they do not accept this, they are breaking federal law. If they tell you you will be fired after your Green Card expires, they are breaking federal law. If they ask to re-verify you after your Green Card expires... yeah, you guessed it.

 

Driver's license and SSN. That's it.

New job: Study the I-9 instructions and present your driver's license/state ID and SSN card...

it depends on the employer. They will accept the letter If they really have understanding of immigration process. Some require that you provide the updated GC after approval. 

 

My sister had an offer but after seeing the letter they did not accept. 3 months later she received the GC and they hired her.

But if you are a permanent resident they will require you to show your green card. Citizen the above will be fine

That's not legal. Read the i-9 instructions.

This is what I found from a Lawyer 

 

Having a copy of the green card is common practice. Showing it is not enough. They need to have a copy for their records.  the employer has a right to ask for what is on the list because they are the ones that can be fined if you are working without authorization. Second, the employer can probably then just elect not to hire you. You would have an extremely weak case of discrimination 

 

Also this is a common practice. If you are a PR they prefer to see the copy. I know one of my friends employer (Davita) has a system that automatically notifies them about the GC expiration. He gets an email to notify him to provide the updated copy

Not the first time a lawyer is wrong. Having worked for an employer who got sued for discrimination, it's much easier to prove than you'd think. In that case, the employee only had to show emails...

Lawyer in talking BS non-shock.

 

Read the goddamn I-9 form and instructions, and take note of the very clear and non-ambiguous warning to employers on both.
