During the most recent automatic renewal (before this one right now), GV was included and GV holders were allowed to renew automatically. Not sure why your lawyer is being an a$$h@le like this. If I were you, I would ask the lawyer about submitting a lawsuit to get an appointment for renewal. Since you are living full time in PT, 100% you will win the case. It takes times and money, but it will progress. If you do not act anything, who knows what is going to develop. I am very close to your situation (card expires in Q3) and I am well prepared to file lawsuit…
