I-551 extension expires while I-751 application is pending

[BiAdam 22]

Hello,

 

My I-551 extension will expire in July. There is no guarantee when I'll get an interview date for I-751. I want to learn what I need to do to continue work and travel while my I-751 is pending. Can I get another I-551 extension?

 

I-751 Application: 07/2023

I-551 Extension expiration 07/28/2025

 

Thank you very much!

You should have 48 months extension based on expiry or your GC.

 

E.g. if your GC expired in 2023, your extension letters should be extending card up to 2027.

 

Do you now have 48 month extension letter? Or do you have it but filed I-751 few years later?

 

I don't want to overload the message, there's several options based on your answer which I will post based on more details from you.

You need to get ADIT (I-551) stamp in your passport ASAP.

 

Call USCIS, ask for InfoPass. Describe your urgent situation and hopefull you'll get an appointment to get stamp that's valid for a year.
