Hi all, I'm about to travel home to the UK from the USA for a short family visit trip. It's my first international trip with my extension letter. In the prior boarding information required by my airline, I need to specify whether I have a GC, visa waiver or neither. When I select the option for my GC, it asks for the expiry date; does my extension letter mean I put the date of 48 months from the date of expiry on my GC, or do I need to be "honest" and put the actual date on my GC (expired late last year). Not sure if using the 48 months extension date is technically lying or not for the airline? I know it's probably a silly question but I'm an overthinker! Thanks everyone!

No I don't have a separate EAD, I've only ever had my original I-551 passport stamp and then my 2 yr GC. Good to know you got by ok with your extension letter, even if it did take some convincing!

What about those of us that don't have a driver's license or state ID yet? Has anyone had issues flying domestically in the US using their foreign passport, GC + extension letter? Travelling over the weekend my GC expires and I'm not sure exactly how things will go down....

Hi all, I'm finally getting around to applying for a driver's licence here in the US. In the application for a learner's permit it asks what evidence I'm using to prove I am here legally. My instinct is to tick the GC (I-551 card) option, but will my extension letter would be accepted along with it, as it's technically *not* the I-551 card I'm saying I will use? They don't have an option for the I-797C extension letter, only for a I-797A but I know the extension letter isn't the same thing....I know the DMV/RMV can be horrible for bureaucracy and I'd hate to be penalised because my agreed-upon evidence has 'expired' and nothing else will do, even though my extension letter should be accepted. Thanks for any advice!
