When USCIS Misspells Your Name:

 

Typographical error form filled on USCIS website 1/4/2021
Contacted USCIS if there has been any progress since THEIR error (Received a Tier 1 tracking number) 2/6/2021
Contacted USCIS again as the issue remains to be resolved (Received ANOTHER Tier 1 tracking number) 3/12/2021
Apparently USCIS chat is worthless; CALLED USCIS, Tier 1 agent promised that a Tier 2 agent would call me 4/28/2021
Received a call from a nice Tier 2 officer who said I may or may not get a correct extension letter, but just in case I would be scheduled an InfoPASS appointment 5/4/2021
Went to local USCIS service center and had to deal with a nasty and entitled customer service agent who refused to give me an I-551 stamp. National Benefits Center is supposed to mail me another I-797 within 7-10 days... So I had to waste my day, taking buses for two hours one-way just to deal with this lady's attitude? 5/7/2021

After anxiously monitoring our mailbox for a few days I DID receive a corrected I-797, w00t! All documents good to go Vaccinated Ready to visit my parents in Europe for the first time in 17 months!!  5/13/2021

The lesson: Don't use the chat for anything complicated, AND keep hassling USCIS for a response...

Just got my mail: it is the 24 month extension after all. The letter says Vermont, although the outside envelope had a MO address. 

 

Also interesting that I was traveling with the 18 month extension and entered the US yesterday with the 18 month extension and the expired GC. The 24 month extension was already issued a week ago; i just got to open it today. This means that both 24 and 18 month extension letters are valid for travel, i.e. the new letter does not invalidate the old one. 

You said you traveled internationally with the 18 month extension letter. Was the 18 month period already expired when you traveled with it? 

I haven't received my new 24 month letter, and my 18 month letter is expired. I called uscis and they said I should be able to travel with the 18 month expired letter, as long as it is within the 24 month period, but I have my doubts about it because I read everywhere do not travel with expired extension letter. So I'm interested in your experience. Thank you.
