A lawyer's blog doesn't trump many precedent federal court decisions.

Redundant to cite, since OP's case arrived at the lockbox within the 90-day window. See 8 CFR § 103.2(a)(7)(i): "USCIS will consider a benefit request received and will record the receipt date as of the actual date of receipt at the location designated for filing such benefit request whether electronically or in paper format."

Avoid encounters with law enforcement until you get the NOA1.  

 

You are in a limbo status until then.

 

 Stay away from the Mexican border too so that you are not caught by an CBP internal check point.  
 

If you must leave the house, leave with proof that you’ve sent your I-751.  

Not in a limbo status, still a permanent resident. No need to fear monger.

OP didn't file late

It’s analogous to a K-1 filing for AOS after 90 days. Several  on VJ advocate doing this.  It’s all fine until the police pull over your car in a traffic atop.  And we know what happened in that incident, or do I need to provide the link?
 

Yes it is a limbo status not unlike Schrödinger’s cat. Until the I-751 is received, opened, and acknowledged by USCIS the authorities only have the word of OP that the I-751 was sent on time.

We are considering to do an infopass and get that proof of LPR status pending extension.
I am totally ignorant on immigration law, do the local law enforcement/traffic officers have the jurisdiction to demand/enforce immigration laws? I read somewhere that only ICE had jurisdiction.

I understand that many of us have home countries where police (or anyone with a uniform) are like demigods. But I am not afraid of them, we did not break any rules. They gave us 90 days and we were 8 months pregnant (doctor prescribed bed-rest) when the "window opened" and had a newborn and mom recovering from delivery complications for the next two months. Nevertheless, we filed on time.

Nope, not how it works at all! OP is a permanent resident, not waiting for his petition to be processed. He also filed ROC on time, he just doesn't have the physical extension letter yet. No limbo status whatsoever, fear mongering is not helpful.

Maybe I missed it, but, do you have proof of delivery?

33 1/2 years in law enforcement and Ill tell you that as long as your license and registration is valid there will be no questions about your immigration status. Local Police do not have the jurisdiction. It is a Federal Jurisdiction and they seldom pull cars over unless your a target of a federal crime and they know the law and the repercussions of enforcing it wrong  . No need to fear monger, it does not do anyone any good.

Please let us know if they were able to give you the stamp without you having the extension letter yet. I'm in the same boat as you. My card expired two days ago. Looking at how things are moving my case is due to get processed any day now, so I'm not sure if I should bother calling USCIS or just wait the one to two weeks until I get my extension letter. The only reason I'm considering calling is that I can't renew my driver's license without proof of immigration status.

Irrelevant. OP is a permanent resident.
