So, life has been shitty lately, but I'll spare you the details.

Long story short, I came home today after a very long day which included mailing my ROC ppwk, to find the paper that had the copy of my green card is sitting on my desk. WHY it wasn't paper-clipped with the rest of the papers in the packet I have no idea, but I'm not impressed.

Anyways, I KNOW I'm going to get an RFE for this. My question is, will they still go ahead and cash the check, and give me the NOA and extend my green card for the year for processing in the mean time? It's important to me that they do this because I'm planning a much overdue and much needed trip home this summer, and it falls right around the time my GC expires. I don't want to book my flights until I get the NOA and GC extension just in case something happens. Thoughts?

I would wait for the NOA letter, make a copy of the letter and send the copy of your green card. good luck. The only time I heard of them returning a packet is when the some one files too early, I am sure they will cash your check.

Not necessarily. When I filed my I-751 in July 2011, I sent it a few days too soon and forgot the front and back copy of the green card. They sent my whole file back to me, with the check, and said that I had submitted the documents too early and forgot the copy of the green card. If you get an easy-going officer, hopefully, they just send you back the entire package for you to resubmit.

At the beginning, I mean at the initial review of your ROC package, they check the filing date is acceptable or not & then cash the check,

after that they mail you NOA letter & then ASC Bio App. Letter so on so forth....

If you ever get a RFE you will get it later on, not now. Good luck !......
