USCIS Update to Form I-797 Receipt Notices for Form I-751 and Form I-829

USCIS announced that as of 6/11/18, petitioners who file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, or Form I-829, Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions on Permanent Resident Status, will receive a Form I-797 receipt notice that can be used as evidence of continued status for 18 months past the expiration date on their Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card, when presented with the expired card. USCIS is making the change from 12 to 18 months due to increased processing times for Forms I-751 and I-829.
