USCIS has recently extended the time that receipt notices can be used to show evidence of status from 18 months to 24 months for petitioners who properly file Form I-751. Starting September 4, 2021, conditional permanent residents who properly file Form I-751 will receive a receipt notice that can be presented with their Permanent Resident Card (“green card”) as evidence of continued status for up to 24 months past the expiration date of their card while their case remains pending with USCIS.
Additionally, USCIS will issue new receipt notices to eligible conditional permanent residents who properly filed their Form I-751 before September 4, 2021 and whose cases are still pending. Those receipt notices will also serve as evidence of continued status for 24 months past the expiration date on their Green Card.
