When can I get an ADIT stamp

[Noname93 202]

My extension letter expires in December. Because I used my extension letter when getting hired, my work needs new proof to verify that  I am allowed to work. I actually had to look it up because I thought greencard holders didn't have to get proof upon expiration but turns out the hr department at my work us correct as the below screenshot from the uscis website shows. How long before the expiration date can I ask for the ADIT stamp? I don't want to wait too long but I also don't want to make an appointment just for them to tell me it's too early

1. Do you have a social security  card and at least one of:

 

* state  drivers license
* Canadian drivers license

*  state ID

* any U.S. government photo ID that includes date of birth, gender, height, weight, eye color, address 

 

2. You can request an I-551 stamp 30 days before your extension letter expires.

Thanks. The problem is I never got an unrestricted social security card. Until recently their offices were closed due to covid and I would have had to mail the original documents to them which i obviously wasn't going to do. If it is possible to lift restrictions with an extension letter than I would gladly do that. Has anyone ever tried that?

Sone SSA offices are open for business. 2 weeks ago my wife took her gc and unexpired extension letter to an SSA office in Tucson and was immediately approved for an unrestricted SS card. A week later the unrestricted card arrived.  
 

I suggest you get busy finding the nearest open SSA office

This has reverted to the format pre covid. Always will be some office closures due to staffing/ weather/ building issues/local

holidays etc.  Single office closures in a few places. Normal .. old normal too !!

Then what you do is to call your congressman asking them to get you an in- person appointment. That’s what I did in June 2020, was in and out in 10’ and the unrestricted card came about a week later

The problem now is not getting an appointment, it's whether they will give me an unrestricted card with an expired green card plus extension letter. They have been open for a few months now but my greencard has been expired longer than that
