It's been 4 years since I filed and conditional green card about to expire..

Am I the only one who's been stuck this long? They've sent 3 extension letters now and the farthest we got is the biometrics thing. Really started worrying. What's the next step here? If I call it'll just be an automated call probably.

It is certainly long, but not the record.

Is this a divorce waiver case?

Did you move since filing?

Did you apply for citizenship?

Nope just regular i751, and nope didn't move since. I haven't applied yet cause I was waiting for the permanent green card first. Should I? Would uscis send something that'll say that I legally can stay here like a letter or something. I just want something official that says I can stay here legally for work and other stuff

Yes, you absolutely should apply for citizenship. In some cases filing for N-400 forces decision on I-751, because you cannot get naturalized without conditions removed.

As long as you're LPR, you can stay and work in the US. Whether you have valid or expired GC doesn't change the fact you're LPR.

 

If you have unrestricted social security card and valid driver's license / state ID, you can show them to any employer to prove your eligibility to work.

 

If you have to travel internationally, you should carry expired GC and valid extension letter. If extension letter expired, you can get InfoPass appointment and 1 year stamp in your passport proving LPR status.

 

When you file for N-400 you'll get a letter similar to I-751 extension letter, but it won't be valid for travel or proving status as it only extends GC by 24 months.

 

Good luck!

After waiting 40 months for our joint I-751 to be processed, wife filed her N-400 online.  4 months later both the I-751 and N-400 were approved during our combo interview.  I would certainly file the N-400 asap if you want to become a US citizen. 

Once your extension letter expires, you need to schedule an infopass appt for an ADIT stamp if you need evidence of your status.  Be aware that your status, itself,  does not expire when the extension letter does.
