I am glad I found this site.

I have a reciept date with NSC of January 18 2007. My case is still pending I have heard nothing from them since my biometrics appointment.

I am getting really fustrated, but all I can do is wait. I did do the service request and the response I recieved was your case is pending we will notify you of any decision we make. NOTHING new.

I hope to hear something soon.

I have the same receipt date, January 18. I haven't heard anything either. Nothing from the service request, nothing from my congressman. I filed the N-400 today to CSC.

Our NOA is April 17, 2007. Nothing since biometrics in early May.

Why did we even pay all this money if those people don't work?

My sentiments exactly. :thumbs:

May 7,2007-USCIS received I-129f
July 24,2007-NOA1 was received
April 21,2008-K-1 visa denied.
June 3,2008-waiver filed at US Consalate in Panama
The interview went well,they told him it will take another 6 months for them to adjudicate the waiver
March 3,2009-US Consulate claims they have no record of our December visit,nor Manuel's interview
March 27,2009-Manuel returned to the consulate for another interrogation(because they forgot about December's interview),and they were really rude !
April 3,2009-US Counsalate asks for more court documents that no longer exist !
June 1,2009-Manuel and I go back to the US consalate AGAIN to give them a letter from the court in Colon along with documents I already gave them last year.I was surprised to see they had two thick files for his case !


June 15,2010-They called Manuel in to take his fingerprints again,still no decision on his case!
June 22,2010-WAIVER APPROVED at 5:00pm
July 19,2010-VISA IN MANUELITO'S HAND at 3:15pm!

Wow guys, been over a year since I've posted! Looks like my wife is in the same NSC mess as the rest. Makes me feel a lot better though to see we're not alone. If you would add us here is the info: I-751 date 1-21-07, NOA 1-26-07, Biometrics 2-22-07

From what I read it appears we can file the N-400 even without the I-751 approved? Any additional info regarding that would be appreciated.

Also, nobody has had a problem getting a fresh I-551 stamp with an infopass? We plan to travel out of the country in April and the letter will expire by then.

Just to pass along the experience, we traveled to Europe with the NOA letter and the expired green card last September. Checking in for the return flight was a little stressful; it did involve showing the letter as the ticket agent declared the green card "expired." The immigrations officer in Seattle didn't even glance at the letter; just scanned the green card and we were back in the USA.

Hang in there everyone; I'm sure we'll all get through this fine.

Yes, you can file N-400 and it should force the adjucation of the I-751. The N-400s, however, seem to be processed slowly, too, these days.

I've never heard of anyone who was denied a I-551 stamp if there was a reason, like expired NOA. Some USCIS offices, however, seem to have denied the stamp to people whose NOA was still valid for a long time; the offices said that the NOA was sufficient and no stamp necessary.

I'm surprised by your easy treatment in Seattle. I had to step out of line into the office for "special" cases and to wait some time to get admitted.

I filed an infopass and I'm going downtown Indy next week. (Passport ready to be stamped).

I'll be calm and friendly and see what I can find out. (Catch more bees with honey and all)

If the honey fails I'll try crying, bribery, blackmail, threatening behaviour, pleading, hitting, calling his mother a moose....

I'll let you know how I get on.

Hi folks,

Am in the same situation, please add me to the list.

Date of I-751 filing - 12/26/2006

NOA Date - 01/04/2007

Biometrics - 02/05/2007

Recently spoke to a rep on the 800 number and had a service request sent in. Got a mail back that the case is under review and will hear something within 60-90 days. Seemed like a standard response. Extension letter expires in March so will get a stamp in passport from my local office in Feb.

Regards,

Sandeep
