I-751 May 2012 Filers

zenaxe · June 2, 2012

Haha...Nice to meet you too, Engineer21.

Thank you, everyone for your suggestion.

I guess I'll just wait for now. Is there anyway to contact them to find out if they actually have my package?

No you can't actually contact the service center. You would need to contact NVC. I called NVC recently just to try to address the change of address matter. I had done my AR 11 two years ago and received the reminder letter for the I 751 at my former address...turns out many did and it worked out fine. But I had called NVC to inquire about that and I must have gotten the second dimmest bulb on the tree or something because she struggled with my inquiry regarding the change of address issue and any update on the NOA1....she asked me three times whether I received the biometrics appointment letter......uuuuuuhhhhh no, I haven't received the NOA1 yet and I want to ensure it comes to the proper address in the FIRST place, hence my call at that time. See how it works?? In the end she said that unless the NOA is over 30 days in delay, then they really won't or can't do anything.

Remember when speaking with NVC, it is often the contracted out services unless you call during the week day I believe. Often you end up with a script adhering member of their staff and sometimes aren't as helpful as one would hope. We've been down the NVC road given our collective journeys.

It'll be nice to not have to deal with the 'what's happening?' of ICIS once the 10 year card is issued or maybe even citizenship and being done completely. Soooo we wait and wonder in the meantime :bonk:

I doubt it has anything to do with the window unless they received it outside of the 90 day rule. I sent the package May 14 and the 90 day began May 15th but it arrived May 16th so it's within that 90 days. Most of us want to give them as much time as possible to get this done prior to the card's expiration. We just need to be patient; do you remember all the waiting and freaking out during the I 130 etc? So hopefully California gets moving; Vermont is cruising along nicely it seems.

Yes, but with the I-130 I got the NOA1 8 days after I mailed it. We're at day 18 now and they haven't even cashed the check. We have travel plans and need to get that letter and get the biometrics done and need California to wake itself up and get to work already. They've had enough time and people have lives to live without, once again, putting your life on hold for paperwork. I'm just about sick of it.

Ya for sure, the waiting and not knowing/second guessing always adds stress. The main difference is probably at that instead of waiting for the approvals and being apart, this time we are waiting but are together lol.....but I do intent to follow up next week if I don't hear anything.

Vermont is grindingly slow for processing after biometrics. Many are getting very fast NOAs and bio appointments but in blogging for those using VSC filing in June are still waiting for the final approval.

California was moving nicely with NOAs but hit a snag and I haven't a clue how long they take after bio appointments...argh....I'm hoping those of us in the May 11-16th etc will hear something next week. Maybe there's still on their lunch break haha :bonk:

Yes, it is for sure much better being able to be together. We're just in a time crunch. We're trying to get back to visit my husband's family while we both have some time off and also not have to pay an arm and a leg for the airfare due to last minute purchasing. I think that second one is a lost cause, though. Obviously we don't want to go before we get the NOA1 and want to get the biometrics done before the trip as well. We'll likely try to do a walk-in once that letter arrives. I had thought we would hear something by now but, like you, I hope this week will be the week. We filed early enough in the 90 day window that we're not yet worried about that but obviously would feel much better if we actually got through this part. With the extension, I'm not quite as concerned about the final approval timeline, as it won't affect our lives as long as it's done in a reasonable timeframe.

They're probably at happy hour!

Haha...Nice to meet you too, Engineer21.

Thank you, everyone for your suggestion.

I guess I'll just wait for now. Is there anyway to contact them to find out if they actually have my package?

Don't panic -not just yet- lol! We sent our package on the 15th of may, and received delivery confirmation on the 18th. This means they've got our package but the check isn't cashed and we haven't got our NOA. I've been hearing this a lot from people filling at the CSV, so I guess they're catching up on other procedures and therefore the delay. My point is, you're not alone. Let's keep our hopes high that we will receive our NOA's this upcoming week!

Carolina+James · June 3, 2012

Hey guys, got some updates!

05.15.2012 -- NOA1

05.30.2012 -- Biometric notice issued date (as it shows in the letter)

06.14.2012 -- Biometrics Date

I am not sure if my work will let me skip some hours on the 14th, since I know some people had that day off already. Anyone know how bad it is to reschedule? I'll insist to do it on the 14th to be done with it, but I want to be ready in case my boss is not flexible.

Some ASCs will allow you to do an early walk-in. I don't know if youl local ASC does, but if it is close to you it might be worth trying.
