They do not send a letter to you to remind you to file for Removal of Conditions... it is up to you to file anywhere within the 90 days before your Greencard expired....

AS for change of address you should have filed form AR-11 within 10 days of changing your address and your spouse should have filled the sponsors change of address form I-865 within 30 days of moving...

I dont think anything will happen to you... peope have filed a few weeks late for various reasons and have been ok...

Based upon past experiences of others ...... NOTHING is going to happen to you!

Good luck on the rest of your journey!

Since my middle name seems to be Procrastinate, I managed to leave mailing my I-751 package until the 87th day ... which also happened to be the very last Thursday before my card ran out on a Sunday.

I mailed the package using USPS' Express Next Day service on Thursday, March 7th. (My card expiry date was Sunday, March 9th.) I was sure it would be alright. After all, I only live about 20 miles from Mesquite - where the TSC PO Box is - so there's no way there could be a problem ... How dumb was that!!!

I specified I wanted a signature, so I could track the package and make sure everything went OK ...

According to the USPS system they tried to deliver my package to the TCS on Friday, March 8th at midday, but I guess everyone there was at lunch because the USPS tried to deliver but had left notice of their failed attempt! Needless to say there's never going to be anyone around to accept any deliveries at the weekend, so it didn't get delivered until Monday, March 10th - one day late.

I kept a copy of the USPS web page that show all the tracking information - times, places, dates, the failed attempt and who eventually signed for it ... so if I get knocked back I will have something to show the darn thing was definitely there in time even though they weren't there to accept it!

It's nearly three weeks later and I've heard nothing yet ... So there's nothing for it but to sit and wait to see what happens. It's certainly a relief to read that others have been late and not suffered because of it.

any thoughts about what will hapens??

You will be fine. If they have cashed the check it means that they have accepted the application. Tex'n'Brit, there are a number of us who filed around the same time as you did. None of us have received any notification yet at all - no NOAs, no Biometric appointments, no nuthin'. You might want to add your name to the list of Texas filers here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=118137 and join the crowd. We can all lend our support to each other as well as use each other's timelines as barometers for our own.

they didnt cash it yet , i mailed everything wendsday overnight

[Kathryn41 3,205]

You will still be fine. There have been a number of VJers who, for one reason or another, were late filing by a few days and they have had no problems. I don't anticipate you having any problems either. Good luck. Which Service Center did you file at?

Thanks Kathryn, will do!

And keep your pecker up, Michael! It would be really helpful if you would complete your profile - adding the bits about what you're filing for and where you're from, where your local office is, etc. That way we can offer you relevant comments without having to pester you for the info and make you repeat all that each time.

Nice to see your quick work adding your info, Michael.

It really does seem to help people get more and better responses and also build a good rapport with other VJ'ers, specially those who came from/know about the same part of the world, live in/came from the same part of the States, or who are now dealing with the same USCIS 'Service' Center.

All the best,

Brit
