I submitted my I751 application to remove conditions on my green card in Dec 2020, and received an automatic 24 month extension of the expiration date on my green card.
That 24 month Green Card extension is now almost up - on January 18th, in 8 days. I work for a VA hospital, and need to prove my continued US work eligibility for my employment.
I've been calling USCIS for months; last week I heard that my interview request was "escalated" with the local field office. But more than 72h have gone by without further contact.
Is there anything else I can do to get an interview or an additional extension stamp? Should I try to show up there at the USCIS office without an appointment? (this seems like it won't work, but is better than doing nothing)
I'm reading online that possibly the validity of my resident status and right to work is different than my green card - and maybe I still maintain this, even if my GC extension lapses. Is this true? Any other ways to prove that I remain a legal resident and able to work?
Thank you very much! Very stressful.
thanks for the idea - I've reached out to my local congressman today and hope they could help get USCIS to respond
