I-751 January 2012 Filers

almondmilkteagirl · January 31, 2012

Hello everyone!!

I received my ASC Appointment Notice Letter today, dated 01/27, with my Biometrics appt. for 02/24.

I have 2 questions:

1. Do we have to pay something at the Biometrics appt??? or it is included with the check we already sent??

2. Once we have the Biometric Appt done is when we will receive the 1 year extension???

I am confused about this.

Thank you!!!

----Hi! If you sent $590 with your application, then that already includes the payment for the biometrics:) For question no.2, your one year extension IS included in your ASC appointment notice letter. Besides your biometrics appointment date, it should say there that your status is also automatically renewed for a year and that ur allowed to work and travel for that period of time. I just went to the DMV this week to extend my driver's license coz it will be expiring on Feb. 2 (my deadline for filing my I751), and all the paperwork they needed from me was my ASC appointment notice and they went ahead and renewed my license for another year. Hope this info helps:)

Biometrics appointment letter received today. Biometrics is scheduled for 02/13. Glad the process seems to be going smoothly so far. I wish we could just fast forward to 6 months from now. Hopefully, VSC increases their pace of things. Wont life be just so enjoyable if VSC was faster than CSC....haha.

haha, I wish they were at the same pace... I know I'm grateful that we're at CSC but they do seem to be slowing down too. Hopefully both service centers will start speeding up again...

thanks for adding me in guys and girls, I am partly to lazy but also sometimes checking on my phone so replying etc and reformatting etc is a pain in the #######!

If anyone asks me for advice about this process, I'm going to tell them to move to a CSC covered state before they file!

Sometimes I check on my phone too so I can't update the list - I'm glad sometimes others can update it too because I don't want to miss anyone's updates.

haha! I've been thinking about that too - we're moving again next year and might not be in a state under CSC jurisdiction but when I checked the N-400 instructions, it looks like it won't matter because we'll be filing at the Nebraska Service Center no matter what state we live in by that time because I'm a military spouse. We'll need to verify and call the USCIS Military Helpline when the time comes to file though.

Thanks Fatima and Jim I was just reading somewhere else on VJ that someone tried to do an early walk-in for I-751 at the same ASC center that is assigned to us and they were denied. It's not that far away from us, but I don't want us to have the hassle of going and coming back. I guess we will just wait until his appointment date. For some reason, I am more relaxed at this phase of the process, it is unlike the K-1 and AOS where I was always on an edge. Hope the process really does go as smooth as it feels

I know! I think I am a little bit more relaxed now that I have a better idea of how the immigration process works. I just hope the wait isn't too long because it's still hard not knowing what's going on with our petition...

Hi! The $590 fee covers it - the $505 is the filing fee for the I-751 and the $85 is for the Biometrics fee. You don't have to pay for anything else at your appointment.

The 1 year extension is the NOA - it's the Receipt notice that says your conditional resident status has been extended for a year. If you received your Biometrics notice before the NOA and still haven't received it within 30 days of filing, make sure to contact USCIS.

Thank you guys for your quick answer.

Yes I did not receive my NOA (extension letter) yet. I did receive my ASC Biometric letter.

Is there any reason I did not receive it yet? I see most of you guys received the NOA before the ASC.

I know I have to wait 30 days but.. I am kinda freaking out, I am worried... Is there any reason they might not extend my green card? My husband keeps telling me not to worry but... I am. :huh: :crying:

I am in the same boat as you guys... will be waiting for the 30 days before I start calling USCIS.

My assumption is that NOA letter got lost in the mail somewhere and possibly returned to CSC.

Let's hope it will arrive before these 30 days pass.

keep us posted

Wow, it's been two years as everyone has mentioned. Glad to see everyone doing well.

I sent a THICK packet. (hahahah) I hope the evidence I sent is sufficient enough.

Section A – Petition

A.1 Form I-751

Section B – Initial Evidence

B.1 Copy of Permanent Resident Card

B.2 Copy of Passport – USC

B.3 Copy of Passport – Immigrant spouse

B.4 Copy of Marriage Certificate

Section C – Evidence of Bona-Fide Marriage/Relationship

C.1 – Documents showing joint occupancy of communal residence

C.1.a document showing addition of resident to apartment

C.1.b copies of government issued I.D’s showing common address

C.1.c copies of mail addressed to couple sent to common address

C.1.d copies of mail addressed to petitioners individually to common address

C.2 Financial Records Showing Joint Assets and Joint Responsibility

for Liabilities

C.2.a Joint Tax Transcript for years 2009 and 2010

C.2.b Bank Statements (quarterly from Dec 2010 – present) - Joint Saving Account and Checking account

C.2.c Copies of credit cards showing common account number.

C.3 Miscellaneous documents establishing ongoing marital union

C.3.a Copy of Report of Marriage/Registration of Marriage in Immigrant's home country

C.3.b Selection of Photographs that document relationship

C.3.c Copies of evidence of joint activities, vacations, etc.

C.3.d Copies of evidence showing spouse as beneficiary to employment benefits.

C.3.e Affidavits to affirm marriage from family and friends

Sent it last week (24th, they got it on the 25th) and I received the NOA today. I just wish this process doesn't take long because we're dying to go on vacation in the Philippines and I'm not comfortable traveling while it's in process.

What we found challenging was providing "hard proof" like joint investments, life insurance, etc. Neither of our jobs are exactly stable enough for us to make investments, etc. I hope the examiner understands that though.

Best of luck to everyone.
