He will not be illegal in this country.  His status does not expire when the extension letter does.  If he needs proof of status for a job or travel, call USCIS and ask for an infopass appointment to get an ADIT stamp.

 

Note:  The extension letter should have extended the expiration date on the card for 2 years.

He is still a lawful permanent resident. Not having a GC in hand does not equate to “being illegal”. If he needs to travel or provide proof of his status for a job, he needs to call and request an Info pass appointment to receive the I-551 stamp in his passport.

His green card expired on November 1 2020 the extension letter was until November 1, 2022 so I should call n get an Audit stamp and that would be valid for work n travel. Can he get a new gc with updated dates  confused but I'll call USCIS and explain and see what they say

The extension letter was valid for 2 years.  Removal of Conditions will get him a new Green Card with a new expiration date. Call USCIS and say "infopass".  That should connect you to a human.  They may or may not give him an appointment.  He maintains status as a legal resident even without the stamp. Good luck.

I think USCIS needs to do a better job of writing in bold letters or a different colored ink that:

"Your legal status in the US does NOT expire upon expiry of this extension letter."

 

@Adelloves   You can get an extension / stamp on the passport if you are really worried but generally USCIS does not entertain such requests unless you need to travel / change jobs/ renew ID etc.

 

Conditional or Permanent residency status can only be nullified by an immigration judge.

The be at odds with that is  written on the extension letter:

 

”Your conditional permanent resident status is extended for 24 months from the expiration date on your Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card (also known as a Green Card). During this extension. you are authorized to work and travel. This notice. presented with your expired Permanent Resident
Card is evidence of your status and work authorization.”

 

USCIS has zero interest in telling the truth here.

Unfortunately that's true and in turn they create more work more backlog for themselves.

The petitioners /  applicants / LPRs themselves, their lawyers, and good officers who treat immigrants with dignity.

What hard work?

 

How long do you think it should take to approve an I-751?

 

I could do 99.99 percent of them in 10 minutes each.  
 

I could RFE the other 0.01 percent in an hour.  
 

Figure 2 million pending I-751s and 1000 uscis workers:

 

 

0.9999 * 2,000,000 * 10 / 60 / 1000

+

0.0001 * 2,000,000 / 1000

 

= 333.5 hours to work through the back log.  That’s less than 9 weeks.
