Hi,

My wife's extension letter is expiring in Nov.  Her last USCIS case status has been that they are ready to schedule for an interview and will send notice.  It's been the same status since early April but we haven't actually received a letter or appointment for the interview.

 

I checked the USCIS site for information about extension due to COVID19 but such extensions (EOS or COS) seem to only apply to visa holders (work or k3 etc).  I didn't see anything mentioned on those currently waiting to remove conditions (I751).

 

USCIS says the offices are supposed to reopen on 6/4.  We live in NJ and so far NJ gov't is slowly reopening.  I know there is still a bit of time.  At what point do you think we need to reach out to an attorney to get involved?  I read some have suggested contacting local congressman or senators but not sure how much help elected officials can lend at this juncture.  Does anyone know if there is a form to fill out to get the extension letter extended? 

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestion and help.  Hope everyone is safe and well.

 

Regards,

JK

Your wife's status does not expire when the extension letter does.  Only her evidence of her LPR status expires.  If she needs evidence of her LPR status (for travel, work, etc.), she can get an appointment at a local USCIS office to get her passport stamped.

 

By the way, my wife's extension letter expires in December 2020....😀  We filed her I-751 in March 2019......waiting for interview since May 2019.

 

I see no need for an attorney.

It's way too early to be concerned about the letter expiring. You don't need a lawyer to get involved there is nothing they can do. My letter Expired in April. Like Lucky Cat stated her stay doesn't expire. If by November there's been no movement you can make an appointment for stamp in the passport if it's necessary.
