I-751 Application / Evidence

[RJ5254 0]

Hello Everyone - just an update on this from my previous post back in January 2009.

My wife did have her biometrics done on 1/10/09 - however, she received a letter about a week later telling her the fingerprints did not come out properly, so they scheduled her to do it again a week later.

Then we waited..

Til today (5/4/09), I decided to check the USCIS website for status (since I have my wife's confirmation number), and it stated the following:

-------------------

Application Type: CRI89, PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED

Current Status: Card production ordered.

On April 30, 2009, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

Nice! So we do not have to send over additional evidence or go for an interview. Very happy - so we are just waiting for her 10 year GC.

So we mailed the I-751 Application on or about 12/10/08. Biometrics was scheduled for 1/10/09. She had to RE-take it about two weeks later. Application was being processed by the Vermont Service Center. And the online status states that her Card is in production as of 4/30/09 - so overall, it took approximately 5 months!

Good luck everyone!

So, let me ask, you mailed in your application and then they notified you to come in and have her fingerprinted? You didn't have to send in the fingerprints with the application?

As for all of the evidence that you submitted, were you advised to send all of that stuff or did you just decide to send everything that you could think of?

Yes - you mail the application, then you get a notice to come in for fingerprinting. This is the "biometrics" appointment. The letter explains where you need to go to take the prints.

As for the evidence, you need to prove you are in a bonifide relationship, so I feel whatever evidence I can submit would be fine. Download the INS application and it explains what the INS is looking for. I also read some of the threads on this website and saw what other people sent in. That helped a lot.
