That is way too long to not get a receipt, appointment for fingerprints. If you sent a personal check you can tell if it was cashed and if it was you can see your uscis receipt number on the back of this check. Call National Customer Service Center

The same thing happened to me man... I sent mine in and they got my paper work on Nov 10, 2014 and I got a letter that they received my papers and I got a letter to get my biometrics done on Jan. Which I went to do. My permit was up today March 17 2015. Before it expired I called them asking for the extension and they said that they can't grant extensions the only way people get them supposedly Is IF AND ONLY IF they pick up your paper work and see that your stuffs about to expire and send it to you ON THERE OWN! It's total crap. I got lucky my union ladies got the company to agree to a 30 day grace period if I get my permit within 30 days they will rehire me.

Have you emailed your congress in your area?

I don't know if this law will or can help you since you live in a different state ... I know it's legal in California because this is how I got my job back... my immigration lawyer found a law that works side by side with federal law.

 

it is   Incalaza v. Fendi, (it states this) the Ninth Circuit held that while federal immigration law requires that employers not continue to employ workers once the employer discovers that they are unauthorized to work, the law "does not bar an employer from suspending an employee or placing him on unpaid leave for a reasonable period of time while he remedies the deficiency in his status." the court ruled that because an employment-ineligible worker who is placed on leave without pay (or whose employment statues is suspended) is not receiving pay and is not working, the employer is not continuing to employ that individual and therefore is not violating federal immigration law. 

 

See, incalza v. fendi North America, Inc. 479 F.3d 1005 (9th Cir. 2007)    

 

I hope it helps I also have a UNION who have gone above and beyond to help me keep my job. Don't lose hope I found out this past Friday that I was approved I should have my card by the end of the week! GOOD LUCK!!
