Passport Stamp

[Kanadka 2]

I just filed my I-751 and would like to get my passport stamped so I don't have any issues with travelling and employment. When I schedule my appointment, what reason do I select out of the 7 provided? Obviously, I can rule out a couple of the obvious.

Choices:

You have received an approval letter or Form I-797 from the Service Center or local office instructing you to come into the office for alien identification card processing / passport stamp.

You have a question about your case.

You need to file an application for yourself or someone else.

You need an immigration form.

It has been more than 90 days since you filed an I-765 and you did not receive an Employment Authorization Card.

You need to replace your Permanent Resident Card.

You wish to speak to an immigration officer.

They wont stamp passport unless you are close to a year past filing I-751 and have not received anything.

I-751 NOA1 along with expired green-card allows work and travel.

You will receive a notice of receipt for the form stating that "Your alien card is extended one year - employment and travel authorized". Keep the receipt with your green card. If by some chance you are not approved within a year you will want to make an InfoPass appointment to go to your Local Office to request an I-551 stamp in your passport. This does happen as it sometimes it takes over a year to be approved. After your NOA extension expires, this is your only evidence of legal status which you are required to have, by law. This happens occasionally, that a case takes over a year, but it's rare. Local Offices will not give an I-551 stamp is you have another type of evidence of status (ie, expired Green Card + extension letter).

I did not get a stamp in my passport while I was awaiting approval of the I-751. Whenever I travelled outside of the U.S., I just showed my expired conditional GC and the NOA I received in the mail for the I-751. That was sufficient. I just continued to work as usual.
