I-751 May 2012 Filers

[squirrely 0]

Was so busy I forgot to update. I got the biometrics letter and it's scheduled for 06/28.

I'm happy to say that we got our NOA1 yesterday, DATED May 29th!

Does this mean everything's green and now I'm just waiting for processing? Or can there be an RFE, or other possible issues? Our whole I-485 went so badly: the first interviewer seemed focused that an asian married a non-asian, but the Stokes Interview guy just noticed our love and approved us the next day. Just getting the disapproval at first and being anxious for the Stokes Interview was so taxing...

Well folks, I am happy to report that my check was cashed yesterday, 06/15. It could have been done 3 days ago, but my bank made a colossal mistake. This blunder made the check bounce, but thank God USCIS contemplates this and does a retry.

The NOA came in the mail today with a 5/23 date, so I was relieved to see that as well... considering some fellow May filers were struggling with receiving it.

Back to my bank's Einstein moment... I had called last week because I set up alerts to notify me of cleared checks, and I got excited because it had posted (or so they said). The guy decides to put a check guarantee, which is in essence holding your funds for that check, without me agreeing to it. Come the 13th, I learn that USCIS uses the check to debit via ACH with the information, and do not present the check. Too little too late! Anyway, the debit is electronic, and all is good now.

Come on biometrics!!!!!!

Received Bio letter today dated 6/13 for 7/11. Still no NOA. I think I'll get a stamp when giving Bio. Can someone update the list for me?

You're not in the green until approval. Sorry.. But RFE can come at any point in the process. Sorry about the bad experience with AOS. Glad you guys made it thru! What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Good luck to all of us

I received my NOA today , so my green card has a one year extension. Hopefully I will get the letter for the biometrics soon and then the wait begins.....LOL

Have a great day!

Beth

Congratz! And a speedy processing

So... You just kept waiting for NOA doing nothing or did you call USCIS and they respoded it?

Well, since your NOA date is on June, you are June filer now...?

I was about to do that (transfer to June filers) but I saw ICEPECK for Vermont CSC with June 1 NOA date and yet is still part of May. FYI, I did not "keep waiting for NOA doing nothing". I was following up over the phone but was informed to wait for a 30 day window from the time they receive it before doing another follow up. From the time they receive it and before the 30 day window ends, the ball is no longer in my court. I can understand an instruction when being told. Nevertheless, i will be more than happy to transfer to June. Anyway, goodluck to all may filers.

Yeah South 16th Street is the address.

You don't need to cancel the original biometrics schedule if you have yours done earlier. Just don't worry about showing up on the original date since they already have your bio records taken.

Yours wont expire until in two months, you still have all the time to wait for the NOA. Mine expires this month so I needed to asked for extension and tried asking for early biometrics as well in which they granted.

Here's to hoping to no RFE and no Interview!

Goodluck to you!

Just a thought and wondering what yourself and others would think.

I can set up an info pass and do a biometrics appointment prior to the June 28th bio appointment set up. My passport expires Dec 2012. Sooo either get the I 551 stamp on the current passport and hope the green card gets here by Dec...if not I would have to surrender my passport with the I 551 stamp......Or, send off a renewal passport request within a few days and hope it's processed before August THEN get the I 551 stamp and at least that passport is valid for 5 years.

None of this horsedung is even needed with an NOA letter...but that's the problem

Just an idea: Can't you go to your Consulate and claim you lost your passport and just get a new one?

Hi, well the have the renewal passport done, and it's a quicker process, it can't be reported lost or stolen or damaged. i intend to call NVC for what's it worth, tomorrow. I'm going to push for the NOA to be submitted but I don't expect to get anywhere.

Do you know what USCIC does with passport set to expire in six months and stamping the I 551? would they only stamp for a six month extension or would they stamp for a year extension.

If they do one year regardless of when the passport expires, I would simply not travel out of country until the green card is issued, then apply to renew my passport and do it that way.

And I just checked the mailbox as we were out of town....yup no NOA.

I'm not aware of being able to get a passport thru the consulate. you have to apply for it in Canada.

I really don't know about the stamp for six months, but I guess you can try searching on this site if there's a similar situation, and what the procedures are.

I'm an Ecuadorian. If the case is that my passport was lost or stolen, I can go to my Consulate and they would issue a new one.

Maybe you can make color copies of your current passport with the stamp, and keep them, so when you receive the new passport, if something arises, you can show them as proof....I don't know.

Also, I'm thinking that by the time you receive your new passport, six months from now, your case will be approved, and you'll have your green card on your hands.

It'll all work out....just annoying little inconveniences...thanks for your support !

Ya, came to that conclusion today; best to get the stamp and then if the case isn't completed in six months, i'll seek another stamp as needed.

i'll set up an info pass appoint asap.

thx
