I-751 November 2011 Filers

dasaleph · December 12, 2011

Ok, so I called the USCIS hotline today and asked about my lost NOA1. They said to schedule an appointment with a DHS office near me and to bring the biometrics letter. Then I would get the I-551 stamp into my passport.

Because of the biometrics appointment being scheduled in a city 2,000 miles away they told me to send a letter to the local DHS office together with a copy of the biometrics letter to explain the situation and reschedule.

Like Yurika & Jim already wrote: A couple of people did walk-ins at different DHS offices than they were scheduled for and were let in after explaining the reasons. I will try that this week and see what happens. I guess the worst-case scenario is that they have me reschedule it. So there is not a lot to lose and I can probably get the stamp and the biometrics done at the same time. Any experience with the DHS office in Manhattan on the Upper West Side, anyone?

BTW, the hotline of the USCIS was a positive surprise. After the mandatory automated Q&A I got an agent after 10 seconds in the waiting line. He answered my questions quickly and friendly.

Odd thing happened. We got the Biometric letter for my wife, but none for my 13yo step-daughter. I called in because of that, thinking the letter might have gone missing. I was told that USCIS hadn't decided yet whether to take her biometrics yet. That stunned me as they will need a new photo for the replacement card.

Oh well, so it goes.

Hi, I am having the same problem. We haven't received the biometrics letter for my 6 year-old son yet since I already got mine, 12/20 in Boston at 11AM. But I didn't call USCIS, probably I might get the same answer. We decided to take him with me anyway. Please kindly let me know if you have some new info. And for sure I will post mine. Thanks in advance.

Happy holidays to everyone!

I see that there's a lot of November filers received their Biometrics appointment letter. I'm getting a little anxious . I hope that everything is ok. I have a feeling that I'm gonna get an RFE or something
