 No problem Family.  I enjoyed my service in the coast guard..

 

This is a long shot, but I googled I-551 images and see the stamp which is not in any of my five expired passports.   But I do see I-551 at the back top left of my expired green card.  But that's not a stamp, is it?

Correct. Green card =I-551 . Previous stamp in old passport would only be there if you came in on IV ( immigrant visa)., or ever faced situations like the one you are in.

I truly am screwed I fear..  No more USCIS offices open, and the nearest Consulate of Austria is in new york.

 

Maybe this is destiny, or a sign that i need to retire or take a year off..

So why did they send me a message after I sent pictures of my old card and $540 stating "that I do not have to go in for a bio-metrics appointment" due to covid I believe.. And that they would use my old information and send my new card, so I just assumed they were all closed.. Because Im used to having to drive to the office.. 

 

I still cant figure out which office is closest or how to contact them..

That notice was to let you know they will use your old prints and you don’t need to do fingerprinting again.

But they never gave me a appointment date or location..  They said they would send me the card..

Yes, they will BUT you don’t want to wait…at least that’s what I understood.

Losing my job would be a unplanned scenario.. I planned on working until 63 and I'm turning 58 soon, but I could afford it, barely.   I'm just trying to calm myself down or justify the chain of events. Like turning the situation around and saying "thanks USCIS!" Pretending that's what I wanted..

It’s Sunday, even the wicked need rest. 

 

You have enough ammo by printing links from earlier to keep your job and get your DMV, tomorrow..just point to the black and white, even without a stamp. 
 

Have fun, go get them.
