More details to this question:
My Green Card recently expired and I can't renew my Georgia driver's license until it's renewed. I have applied for a renewal but not sure when that information will be processed. In the meantime, I have to travel to DC on the 23rd of this month and need some form of ID to board the plane. I don't have a Nigerian passport but have my Social Security card and everything else. I've been in the US since I was 2 and I am now 26 years old. Can someone please advise me what to do or what kind of ID I can get in until I can get my driver's license renewed? Thank you.

Generally speaking, you need a state issued or federally issued identification card to board an airplane. If you have already submitted an application to renew the green card, you will likely receive an appointment for biometrics within approximately 30 days. At such time, the Application Support Center will likely issue an extension of your permanent resident card with a sticker on the back side. At that time, you would then have an unexpired permanent resident card. There is also a chance that you can schedule an infopass with your local U.S.C.I.S. field office, explain the situation, and it may issue a temporary proof of your ongoing permanent residence.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
