I-751 October 2011 Filers

SunShineFL · January 8, 2012

Hello October filers!

I received another letter on wednesday for my biometrics appointment. Same content as the one i got on December 27th.

I don't know what's with VSC sending me multiple letters of the same NOA and Bio appt. :unsure:

Anyway, hope everyone on this list, esp. VSC got their bio dates by now. I can't wait to get my bio done on wednesday so I can chill out a bit from this process.

Have a great week ahead y'all.

Yeah I've read of others getting multiple letters in other threads as well. It must be an automated thing so maybe a glitch with the computer? USCIS will always be a mystery!

Hi guys!!

I haven't been on VJ for a while now, used to very regular during the AOS and EAD days, I know... bad bad! I wanted to check in and see where my fellow Oct filers are, and here you all are!

SunshineFL or any other user, could you please add me to the list? Much appreciated!!

Different person this time, didn't see the first one anywhere. She knew it was my second visit, and she knew what machine was used the first time, so used the other.

She said I have faint prints, but I guess I had worked that out. She did them twice, on the first go round 9 out of ten came up accepted, with my right ring finger not co-operating. Second time around 3 came up rejected in red, including the same finger from the first go round.

She said they would not expect me to come for a third try, but had no idea what they would do. She seemed a bit surprised at the lengths they have to go to if this lot fail.

When I applied for Green Card in Sep 2009, I had the same problem. My fingerprints were faint, so I went to do the biometrics twice and the second time I failed too.

Later, I obtained police clearance letter and submitted it to VSC. Maybe you can call your state police office and ask for a clearance letter.

The letter took about a week to come last time to say I was having to do them over. I would guess the end of this week I'll get another, with a request for clearances.

Thank you SunshineFL. I have a quick question, and have been researching for a while about traveling with a expired GC and NOA1 letter. But I just read this post in the July filers, and got a little worried - July filers #737

Do I need I-551 stamp for travel now? Or is it after approval before new GC arrives? Any clarifications will be super helpful as I am planning to travel in a couple of weeks!!! :unsure: Sorry if it is a millionth time rehashed question around here!!!

I'd just bring the expired GC and the extension letter you received when you filed for removal of conditions.

An example of what happens without the letter:

Thank you Corinthians... but this is even more perplexing - of course I would be traveling with the original letter, and expired GC. But can anyone confirm - don't you receive the i-551 stamp only after your ROC application has approved???? I think that's my main question. And, how can I get an i-551 when my case is till under processing??... as they say only emergency situations get this stamp.. :help:

Edit - just happened to read this post about travel which calms me! I am worried more about the airline refusing to allow me to board than the immigration officer, is that crazy?!

Welcome aboard! Your username looks familiar, I think I've seen you around! ;D

The letter took about a week to come last time to say I was having to do them over. I would guess the end of this week I'll get another, with a request for clearances.

Hope it comes soon so you can get the show on the road! :thumbs:

I believe you only get the stamp if your case is still processing even after your NOA1 letter expires...or if you have to travel after your GC approval but before receiving it in hand. I could be wrong but that's what I've gathered from the forums thus far!

Thank you! That's the best sounding explanation I have heard so far! Though knowing USCIS ... you can never be sure :whistle: Yes, I do remember you too, I think we are riding together as far as our paperwork is concerned!

I finally received my Biometrics letter today. :thumbs: Whew!

It's receipt date was 1/6/2011
