I751 Children

[rick3390 0]

Greetings all! I have made the mistake of hiring an immigration attorney to handle the I-751 form for lifting of conditions. Really just to check my documents, better off just doing myself!

I contacted her and she filed the I-751 about 90 days before the expiration date of Cond Green Card. But she used the old form so it was sent back to me. I resent with proper form and yesterday received the I-751 NOA.

My wife and stepsons green cards expire on January 23rd (they both received at the same time).

My question is how do they prove legal status after the cards expire? The NOA extends the legal status but how do you get on an airplane? Also my stepsons name doesn't even appear on the NOA only his mothers name, so even with a copy of the NOA in hand how can he prove status?

Here is the information the attorney provided I have much more faith in all of you than her!

As Dima (stepson)has a directive status, he will not be issued a separate Notice. This Notice which you received will be a sufficient evidence of extended status for both. However, if you are planning to travel, Natalia and Dima will need to have temporary stamps (I-551) in their passports. To obtain those, you will have to schedule a InforPass appointment with an immigration office in Phoenix.

By the way the stepson doesn't have a passport as he traveled on his mothers passport...

Thanks

Hmm. Well, it's "derivative" status for your stepson, by the way, but all the same she's right. You would need to make an InfoPass appointment to get a stamp in the passport. if the child is on your wife's passport, then ask the local office for a stamp that would cover him as well.

When travelling, take the passport, expired green card if you were not asked to return it, and the NOA with you at all times.

How old is your stepson?

My son was 15 when we submitted our I-751 and he got a separate extension letter. In fact, he got two letters. One was a VERIFICATION OF INCLUSION OF A DEPENDENT IN FILING OF FORM I-751 OR I-752. The second one is the actual NOA that acknowledged receipt of the $80 for biometrics and extending my son's conditional resident status for a period of one year.

Just received another letter from USCIS for the stepson it verifys that he is included on an I-751 form. It says "You may travel outside the united States and return during this one year period upon presentation of both your alien registration receipt card and this verification"

Does this take the place of a passport? Since the stepson was under 18 when he left Ukraine he had no Ukrainian passport, he traveled on his mothers?

Just for curiosity..did she refund her fee ??? If not did you file a complaint. It's bad enough when we mess up but an immigration attorney should know better.

When we contacted the immigration attorney that did our AOS she told us that she's be happy to do it for us but (knowing us) she didn't think it was necessary and recommended we save the see and do it ourselves.

No, the extension letter does not take the place of a passport. I'm not sure if he can still travel on his mother's passport though. I hope someone who is more knowledgeable will chime in.
