What should I do if my CPR extension status has expired but I am not planning to travel?

It usually is advisable to have proof of status at all times.

There is no requirement for you to get a 551 stamp.

Most people do get the INFOPASS as your employer should ask for this to update their I-9. Who knows if you need to travel unexpectedly. I recommend it.

I know it''s a pain, but you should make an INFOPASS appointment to get an I-551 stamp. Number one, you always need proof of legal status with you. Two, file this under the category of "maybe inconvenient, but you''ll be thankful you did it" because if there''s ever a situation where you actually need that stamp, you will be scrambling and trying to make an appointment that may or may not work for your urgent situation. The only guarantees here are that it may take longer and longer for the USCIS to issue receipt notices, PR cards, and etc. On the other hand, not hard to be prepared in this situation and the workaround is simple and entirely in your hands.

While technically all green card holders need to carry evidence of their status; if you do not need to travel or extends your driver''s license then you do not need to get the temporary green card stamp.

You should have evidence of your continuing lawful permanent resident status even if you are not planning to travel and/or you do not require it for employment. While your status does not end when your stamp or extension receipt expires, U.S. immigration law requires you to carry evidence of your lawful permanent resident status with you at all times.

You do not need to get any proof of your pending application unless you need to travel or you are finding a new job. Or if you need it for a driver''s license.
