Refinancing whilst waiting for ROC

[James T 4]

Wondered if anyone has any experience with this ? Currently trying to refinance our house. I applied for ROC in December and received my Notice of action which is proof of extension for 18 months. The Mortgage underwriter has requested for an I-551 stamp in my passport. Are they even doing infopass appointments for this ? I thought it was only if you had lost your green card. I was under the impression the expired green card with notice of action was sufficient to show LPR. Thanks !

Yup, it is. Try a different bank or mortgage underwriter if they continue to insist for I-551 stamp.

I’ve refinanced and opened a new mortgage, both with NoA and expired green card. These were with different mortgage companies and neither raised any concerns. Perhaps request your underwriter to escalate to their supervisor?

Thanks for the responses, appreciate it!
