I do not think USCIS will stamp the passport if extension letter has not expired.

I have read where the officer at the local office stamped the passport and took the expired green card. The person was able to keep their extension letter.

It will be at the officers discretion and it will vary greatly. Some officers won’t stamp passport until two weeks before the extension letter is expiring, some offices will take gc and extension letter to give stamp... but it’s way too soon for anyone to worry about that since we’re getting 18 months extension letters.

I guess if my check gets cashed but I don't receive a NOA within about a week, I'll give them a call to check on address. Crossing my fingers I won't have to though. I moved within town so I hope that saves me if they don't change it themselves...

well check got cashed and received NOA at my new address!

Now I’m worried. You other two that sent it in the same day as me have received noa1 and I haven’t. 

 

I did a cashiers check from bank of america and no one at Bank of America knows how to inform me if that check has been cashed so I’m in the dark now. 

 

Wofes green card expires 8/15 so I’m almost wondering if I should prepare another packet and send that in 

 

Is there a number I can call to see if noa1 has been processed and maybe I just didn’t receive it in the mail?

I'd highly suggest that you sign up for informed delivery @ USPS. It sends you an email of all the letters you'll be receiving.

I did that at my old address to make sure it wasn’t delivered there. It hasn’t yet. 

 

Im not sure how to sign up for multiple addresses on there but yeah, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the mail.

do you have a tracking number / did you do signature upon delivery? That's what I did. Sent it via FedEx. If you sent it through USPS it may take an additional few days?
