Applying for unemployment while waiting for ROC (PA)

[mbssss 110]

Hi all -

So I've been working at a start up for the past 2.5 years and yesterday 75% of the company was laid off, myself included.

 

From what I understand, I am eligible to apply for unemployment which I intend to do but my question is, exactly how do I fill out the application when I'm going through ROC? On the application it asks me for a receipt number and "USCIS (Alien Registration) Expiration Date:". Does anyone know exactly what they are asking for here? My green card is technically expired but I have the receipt explaining that it is extended for 48 months, would my expiration date be my green card expiration date + 48 months? 

 

I'm on the phone with the unemployment office but as expected, it is a nightmare getting through to them so I figured i'd ask and see if someone here has experience with this.

Yes.

 

Does you extension letter say:

 

Your conditional permanent resident status is extended for 48 months from the expiration date on vour Form 1•551, Permanent Resident Card (also known as a Green Card).

Thank you, appreciate it! Do you happen to know if the receipt number would be the number on my card or on the actual notice?

I would use the receipt number on the extension letter

if the receipt number

Not all green cards have a receipt number.

Oh yeah, I think you are correct. My card only has my A-number so the actual notice receipt number would make more sense then. If it is incorrect, I'm sure they'll contact me.

Your I-485 was approved in 2021. It is surprising  

your GC does not have your I-485 receipt number aka case number.
 

My wife’s  first GC (approved 2020) had her I-485 case number  After RoC, her second GC (approved 2022) had her I-751 case number. 

 

My first GC had no case number. My second GC had my I-90 case number.
