It has been three years since I submitted my I-829. What is my current immigration status? Has my previous status been extended automatically？

Schedule a Free Consultation with Top EB5 Visa AttorneysThe general rule is that the conditional green card will continue to be renewed until a decision is made on the I-829. Assuming you do not receive the renewal notice, contact the USCIS, just to make sure everything is fine.

However, you do not have proof of your green card status. If there is an emergency circumstance, you can call USCIS and try and get an appointment for an emergency temporary green card stamp.
