Coronavirus green card extension

[Nananana 0]

I applied for the permanent green card few years ago, still pending so they send me a extension letter that was valido for 18 months, I've been trying to get the stamp but i was told i could only get the stamp within 30 days of expiration date, finally got the info pass and on the day I was suppose to go there they closed do to the Corona Virus, I called and they told me my case is not a emergency so they can't stamp my passport, but doesn't that mean that I am gonna stay in the country illegally ? 

 

Thank you

No, you still maintain status as a legal resident....with or without the stamp.  The extension letter and/or stamp are only evidence of status. They are not status, itself.  Only an immigration judge can remove your status.

Hello. In regard to this. I’m scared if my employer will fire me due to expired extension letter. What is the best thing to do? Can i apply for a new extension letter or a stamp for proof of emplyment?

Replying to this to bump it up, as I am in a similar situation.

 

My status expires June 1st. My interview was scheduled for April 20th, but is now de-scheduled, and will likely not happen before the expiration date. And the USCIS offices are closed, so there does not seem to be any way of obtaining an I-551 stamp. I'm not worried about my status in the country, but my employer is worried about employing someone who is not in status. Is there any information that I can give them to reassure them that I can still be legally employed?

Your status does not expire.  Only the evidence of your status will expire.  My understanding is that USCIS offices will accommodate emergency situations.  I would call USCIS and request an appointment.

I'm in the same situation.  I've been trying to get an appointment for the past 2 weeks (my 18 month extension expires July 18th) and have not gotten a call back from a Tier 2 officer.  Did you manage to get a hold of someone??
