I-751 November 2011 Filers

Mestis · November 16, 2011

The money was taken from my bank account, so seems like the NOA is on its way!

I hope the biometrics will be before Christmas...

How's everyone doing?! Nice to be back here in VJ..

Time to file for our I-751. I just sent my packet last week in California Service Center. Still waiting for their reply. =)

Hey KM24, I remember you from last time round, think you were an Octoober filer for AOS? Hope things are going great.

Ahhh...government at work.

It's the NOA that effectively extends conditional residency and employment authorization. Since we give a copy (I keep the original) of the NOA to the HR department, they only have the NOA receipt to verify on the USCIS site. What good is it to have online tracking via the biometrics letter receipt number when companies don't care about that notice?

I work in HR and have attended numerous employment law seminars and you don't have to give your employer the one year extension letter if you're currently employed. In the I9 handbook for employers it talks about the different types of card (incl. 2 year) it's a little confusing but it then says repeatedly that permanent resident cards should not be reverified. It can constitute discrimination. EADs, visas etc. on the other hand should be reverified. Though if you start a new job and show your green card plus extension letter (if green card has already expired) then it would need to be reverified as the expiration is based on a letter not the card.

Employers can't re-E-Verify current hires only new hires, again because of discrimination and its not their place to try and track your case online unless it's an employer sponsored green card.

Not all employers are knowledgeable on perm. residents and I9 and many likely would hapily take the extension letter, as further documentation for an I9 audit; though technically it could be construed as over documentation and discrimination. Legally employers can't even insist on a green card if the perm res. chooses to satisfy the form requirements by showing a driver license and unrestricted social security card (with out the 'only valid...' notation, i.e. one you got after your green card)though you still have to put the alien number in section A. If you think about it if you did the driver license & soc. sec card route - the employer would have no idea if you have a 2/10 year card and wouldn't know the expiration date. Hope that all makes sense :blush:

The money was taken from my bank account, so seems like the NOA is on its way!

I hope the biometrics will be before Christmas...

Yay! Your NOA should be on its way! Ready for biometrics letter... Hoping its on its way... :innocent:

m_ru's NOA1 Date is probably NOA1 arrival date rather than NOA1 issue date.

Jeff&Dona's [kid's] Service Center is probably Vermont, as their own was.

Please Clarify.
