I-751 24 month extension letter expiring, what do I do?

I-751 24 month extension letter expiring, what do I do?

I filed for my I-751 at the end of August to the beginning of September 2021. Received one extension letter for 24 months on the 8th of September 2021. I did my biometrics in person and then received another 24 month's extension letter in November 2021.

It is now 2023 and the 24 months extension letter is expiring this year. Anyone with experience in this kind of situation, please let me know what you did to extend your proof of legal status.

I also read on the USCIS website that was posted on the 23rd of January, 2023 that they were supposed to give all pending i751 a 48 months extension letter which I have still had not received. You can read it here: https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alert...-form-i-751-or

Requesting an in-person appointment to get another extension is somewhat impossible because there is no option to do so living in the USA. Calling the number that was given by the USCIS website is impossible as well as we know the robot will take you in circles.

Please, anyone able to share your experience so that we are able to know what the next step is. I know I am not the only one going through this situation. So those of you who are going through the same thing feel free to post your experience and share knowledge as well.

People who had 24 month extension letters are now getting 48 month extension letters. When does your 24 month letter expire?

I got one extension letter in September and I got another on November. I can only assume that we are going by the November extension letter, so it expires in November.

Have you received your 48 months extension letter?

Have you received your 48 months extension letter?

That makes zero sense. What is the “resident since” date on your gc?

I am a citizen . My wife’s I-751 case was approved before her 24 month letter expired.

November 2019

It made no sense to me too when they sent me 2 extension letters one before and one after my biometrics.

Also my i751 is being processed in Vermont with a process time of 19.5 months.

2019 + 2 + 2 = 2023. So your letter expires November 2023.

You should get a 48 month extension letter.

You can also file N-400.

Hi. I was in similar situation. In Dec 2022 I found out that I can inquire about my case in February 2023, but my 24 month extension expires in January 2023.
I called USCIS in Dec 2022 and askes for Infopass appointment. I got it in January 2023 (8 days before my extension expired). In December 2022 I also applied for N400 (citizenship).
At the Infopass appointment they gave me a paper with the passport photo I brought extending me for a year. (My countrys passport was valid only for few months, not a full year.)
But something must have been triggered in their system, as three weeks after Infopass appointment I received I-751 cars for 10 years and a week after that I received a N400 intervies date.

With my experience - If you file N400 now there's a chance before November 2023 when your extension expires the system will trigger either issueing of I751 or getting a N400 interview... or call in September for Infopass interview if you don't receive 48 month extension by then.

i'm in the same boat. filed i-751 in august 2021, only have 24-month extension letter that lasts till november 2023.

i filed n-400 in august 2022, and still haven't received any updates since then except for biometrics re-use.

I'm sorry to hear that. I would try to set up Infopass appointmen around September and strongly mention that your extension of expired card is expiring in November and that there haven't been any movement on your case for two years. At the Infopass appointment, mention that you have been waiting long time for I751 and also for N400, maybe it will trigger something in their system and your interview will be scheduled fast.

good luck.

Funny enough, i received the 48 month extension over the weekend. There must be a wave of them going out currently.

I did receive a 48-month extension yesterday as well.
my timeline:
