It's been 12 days since the case was received by USCIS on October 11, 2023 but I haven't received my receipt notice.

Hey Everyone,

It's been 12 days since the case has been received by USCIS but still waiting on receipt notice. Check did get cashed so I believe case was accepted. I can't even add my case to USCIS online account as it required some electronic number which is found in receipt notice. 

 

My only worry is my wife's conditional resident card expires on Nov 8.  How long should I wait or what are my some other options so that she doesn't lose her employment.

She will not lose her employment.  She is still a legal resident.  She should get the extension letter in a few days.

I wouldn't worry about it yet unless there is an immediate need.  Recently some notices have been taking 3 + weeks.

@mycase17 can your wife go to SSA office today or tomorrow and remove restrictions from Social Security card?

 

Then she can present Drivers License and unrestricted SS card for I-9.

That's a great point. She already has a unrestricted social security card [She got it when her I-485 was approved] and Driver License. I will actually do that if I don't receive it within this week.

Use that regardless whether she receives extension letter or not this week.

 

The benefits of this approach is:

- Less confusion by HR

- No need to do reverification

 

 

When LPR presents GC and extension letter many HRs get confused, not knowing whether one is still authorized to work or not. Also, they keep asking for updates on I-751 status and ask for new extension when current one is expiring. Best to not to go this route altogether.

 

The only places that need to see GC and extension letter are:

- Airlines / CBP when going to the US

- DMV to renew Drivers License

- Banks when confirming residency status (this is debatable, but some ask when applying for loans, mortgage).

- Immigration lawyer if representing LPR

- Police if confirming residency status

 

 

Everybody else should be sarisfied with DL + SS card, including employers.

Yes I just provided DL + SS. Let's see what her employer says. I did explain List B + List C as per this https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/form-i-9-acceptable-documents
