1 year extension.... what?

[jonandmary 0]

Sorry guys, long time no post. We've been busy living our lives and starting a family.

I sent in Mary's I-751 3 times (once too early, then with the wrong amount some how, then again with the right fee amount). I just received our receipt for the request. It says "your conditional resident status is extended for a period of one year". It goes on to talk about a bio metric appointment and supplying them with supporting documents.

Just curious if everyone else's is like this? Are they so backed up that they just give you an extra year while they process this?

Our AOS went super smooth, we didn't even have to go in for an interview and really we never had any other problems. The stupid fees, especially the biometric fees annoy me. You have to pay even if they don't ask you to come in.

Yep, that's totally normal.

Forgot to say, be sure she keeps the extension letter with her green card.

YES, that is the standard NOA1 form for I-751.. And YES it can take up to one year to process.

That has been noted toward the end of the VJ Guide: http://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide

And in the FAQ: http://www.visajourney.com/faq/k1k2visa-removeconditions.html#7.9

Yes, this is normal. And it is the best idea to keep the letter with the GC at all times. Peace be your journey, and enjoy your family!

I like to just double check sometimes. The guides are not always 100% accurate or up to date. And I didn't notice that all the way at the bottom about the one year extension. Thanks!
