i797 extension letter about to expire.

Hi all,

 

I applied to renew my 10 year green card and shortly afterwards i got a i797 letter. I called USCIS a little under a month ago to book a infopass appointment to get a i-551 stamp because I still haven't received my Green Card. Well, my i-797 expires in less than a week, and they still haven't called me for my appointment. when the i-797 expires, so does my drivers license, and ability to travel outside the county. Has anyone else has this problem?  Any advice>

 

Thanks.

They will only honor your request for an infopass if you call within the 30 day window of its expiry.

With your abstract description of when you called, it's hard to tell if that was within 30 days.

If you have immediate travel plans, or are changing jobs and need proof of your legal status, I would try calling again now that you are less than a week from the expiration of the extension letter.  You may also try a walk-in if it is convenient and try pleading your case.

 

Good Luck!
