I-751 October 2011 Filers

[RebeccaAndPhil 5]

I am an October filer, too at VSC. I want to share my experience of traveling with expired GC and extension letter. I did once from Tokyo to Detroit in Jan, no problem either at Tokyo airport nor Detroit airport. However, this time I almost ran into trouble at Beijing airport. The customer officer could not recognize the extension letter, and said it's just a receipt. I almost got denied to leave Chinese custom. Managed through with help from Delta (on business travel). I would not recommend anyone who travel to China with extension letter. I will update my arrival at Seattle if anyone is interested.

Thanks for sharing!

So Phil was offered the job in NY! They understand our situation with the Green Card and we are on a lease until October 1st anyway. But we're planning to move to NY October 1st so I really hope Phil has his 10 yr GC by then as I don't want to risk doing the change of address with USCIS...

That is awesome, I am sure both of you are very excited. Have you lived in NYC before? That is one of the cities I want to make sure I get to live in at some point in my life.

I have lived in PA for some time while attending PSU, I really liked North East better than my current location - FL (people are a little too laid back compared to what I am used to:) )

Have a great weekend! I am sending positive thoughts to VCS with hope that they successfully move on to October application processing:)

It's not in NYC but about an hour and a half outside of it. Never lived in NY before but my one sister lives in NJ very close to the NY border and my other sister lives in Brooklyn. So one of the benefits of taking this job was definitely to be closer to them

Hubby traveled on an expired greencard with his extension letter and just came back this Wednesday. He said they gave him a little hassle and took a little longer as they had to read through the letter and often find someone that spoke English, but otherwise he did okay. We called USCIS today and they told us they just started working on files from 8/22/2011 and prior to that. Man I hope October comes up soon. I hope that this does not interfere with Aziz's school and financial aid. I doubt it though.

Agree. It's a little hassle to travel with expired GC and extention letter. Hopefully I can received it befor my next international travel in Sep. Otherwise, I want to apply a stamp or not going.

Hi Rebecca,

Congratulations on the new job for Phil. Best of luck on the move. Great to be close to family.

I'm thinking we'll see some October VSC approvals in July.

Hi everyone,

I just want to give some hope to all of you still hanging in there and waiting for an answer from the INS.

My extension is dated on oct 30th and I received an email from USCIS informing me about the production of my card.

Be patient guys and it's coming soon for all of us.

By the way, I saw a lot of you are worried about traveling with the extension. Because of my job, I go through the customs and immigration at NYC at least 5 times a month since last october and I was sent to the secondary check ONCE because I forgot the letter and I had only a copy of the paper, and they let me go through. The guys know their job and I was always welcomed with a smile and professionalism to be honest.

Congrats.

Extention letter did give me some hassle, though. It always good to remind people in same situation be prepared for the worst case should any delay happen.

Congrats !! Great news for VSC filers !! I want to record this approval on the list. Would you give us the sent date and Biometrics date?

And @BSDL, why don't you join the list? Let us know the sent date, NOA date and Bio date!

Wow this is great news! I remember the first September approval that posted a while back started a while influx of approvals so I hope this is the same!

Hello All,

Just sending this quick update. I received a mail today (7/3/12) from CIS that they have ordered a new card for my wife and the card will be delivered in 30 days. Looks like Vermont is back in action and most of you who filed in October 2011 should also hear from CIS now. Thanks,
