Yes it is possible. Review the ROC threads, July and August 2017 filers have been receiving a second extension letter, so the 12 months moves to 18 months. I assume due to extreme backlog.

 

Yes, this. I hope I get one soon so I don't have to get the info pass appointment/stamp.

This is news to me, and very good news indeed.  May still not get the 2nd letter in time given our travel schedule, but it is nice to know.  Thank you!

A second extension letter is being sent out - extending another 6 months to the original 12 months extension. This is because it is taking more than a year to approve. July and August filers have been receiving them the past week. Good news because you may not have to get a stamp.

Excellent news, I did not know this.  Thank you!

I'm a June 2017 I-751 filer. No new Extension Letter, whatsoever. And not just me. So, I wouldn't rely on that - just go and get the passport stamped with I-551, if you already scheduled an Infopass appointment.. 

You should  make a copy of the green card - it can be taken by USCIS in exchange for a stamp. Some offices keep it, some - don't , but you never know until you are there.

 

Good luck!

Thank you for the advice! I definitely won't rely on it coming, more like I am just hoping it does to save me that headache.

I understand - some offices can be really tough with getting an appointment.. So, good luck and hope you won't have any troubles scheduling one! Actually, do hope for our approval, soon

Well I'll be darned.  Just today we got an extension letter, another six months.  So we won't need an InfoPass appointment, and hopefully the unconditional green card will arrive in time.  Who knew, sometimes the right thing happens!  Thanks again everyone for the advice and support.
