EB-5 Immigration attorneysThe Receipt for the I-829 should have extended your evidence of status for 48 months. If you are beyond that then you need to keep contacting USCIS – Try Ask Emma Chatbot and get an appointment for a stamp.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysWhen you call USCIS, please say "infopass", it will bring you to a live agent and you can request an info pass appointment there.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysYour I-829 remains pending even if you do not the get extension stamp on time. So does your status. However, you need to carry evidence of your immigration status with you at all times, and without the extension stamp, you will not be able to travel internationally. Try calling USCIS customer service line again and state that you need an infopass appointment. You can also try online chat with “Emma” at USCIS website, sometimes it is faster to get to live person.
