I-751 May 2012 Filers

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

Okay, so I guess it's mostly official that we aren't getting a NOA1... which is.... ugh. The check was chased on the 13 of June. I see Epifreak got the NOA1 31 days after the package was sent, so I suppose there is hope for tomorrow... but if the check was cashed on the 13 we should have the letter by now. Anyone know of anyone else who waited a long time and still got it? I know about the stamp and I guess we'll have to do that, but I would prefer the letter.

Hello, People.

Wondering if you guys are experiencing the same issue as I do.

Are you guys able to check the status online? I received NOA, still waiting for bio appointment letter.

But on the uscis website, when i tried to check on status, it shows that the case is not there....

Is this normal?

Also, I'm receiving weird letter from National Visa center saying that they are unable to process my inquiry that has been forwarded by US Department of Homeland Security. I'm not sure if this is even related to the I-751 package.

I'm trying to contact their customer service, but unable to find the option to talk to real person. Does anyone have the information for this?

Thank you

You're supposed to use the case number shown on your biometric appointment letter to be able to check your status on the USCIS site. You'll see your case status even before completing your biometric appointment, as long as you use the correct case number.

Wishing you all a speedy process!

Same issue here but filed in California. We got the biometrics letter and no NOA1. We filed and it was received May 16th. That said, when I go on line and check my status (I created an on line account) I see that June 1st there was a decision. Because the biometrics letter was dated June 7th and I received it June 9th; the June 1st must have been the NOA but who knows what date they would have put on the form.....so where is it? Who knows? It was either sent and US post misdelivered it to someone and they have it or don't; or it was never sent. I have no way to confirm. I waited for about one month then went and got a stamp. They only stamped me for six months and not one year, likely because my passport expires in Dec this year. I would have to send off my passport with stamp and obtain a new passport, then make another infopass appointment and get another stamp. Heck of a lot easier with the NOA1 wouldn't you say.....I would suggest making an infopass appointment and if by some miracle your NOA shows up...great ! My experience in the USA for the last two years is that the post office kicks with services....they deliver pretty darn quickly so if nothing within a few days, something went wrong.

Still waiting for biometric letter......

[Junko&Martin 5]

Yes we are! I hope we will get it soon!

[Driss&alicia 1]

Finished our Bio appt. today! now the wait begins, they told my husband it would be 6 months to a year before a decision is made. UGH i really hope it doesnt take that long.

[Richard-Joanna 1]

Question to the group please.

Has anyone here filed i751 for the k1 and k2 visa? If so, did anyone get a I797 for the k2 side of things?

I am asking because we filed the 751 for Joanna and the kids and so far have only received the extension letter (797) for Joanna and not the kids. They would like to go back to Poland this summer. Not sure whether the kids can go on her 797 or not.

Thanks,

Richard

My feeling is that the intake center doesn't send the letters out in the first place. My reasoning is thus: Most people receive their bio letters with no problem (I have only seen one or two in a few years that miss them). But in this month alone we have 4 or 5 people out of our small pool that didn't get NOA1 letter. Since one item goes missing more than the other, I think the mailroom neglects to send them out.

My feeling is that the intake center doesn't send the letters out in the first place. My reasoning is thus: Most people receive their bio letters with no problem (I have only seen one or two in a few years that miss them). But in this month alone we have 4 or 5 people out of our small pool that didn't get NOA1 letter. Since one item goes missing more than the other, I think the mailroom neglects to send them out.

Who knows....I got all my NOA1s during the I 130 process etc....everything was done very smoothly. The I 751 has this little snag. I have biometrics next Thursday afternoon so that's really when the countdown is on and I don't believe it'll be done in 6 months. That means I need to send off my passport and I 551 stamp to Canada, in around October to ensure I have it back with a brand new passport by December at which time my I 551 stamp expires. They only gave me a six month extention because my passport expired in December. Mind you my green card expires in August. The NOA would have been nice because USICS records shows I've been extended to May 2013. But the stamp follows the validity of the passport instead of following the NOA extension already on file. I'm going to keep a copy of the passport and the stamp and really don't love the idea of sending off the passport but not much I can do given how we can put into these situations by USCIS in the event the NOA isn't received. Once I get a renewed passport I can make yet another infopass appointment and have another stamp. If miracles happen, I'll do the bio June 28th and I'll get the greencard by October saving me from sending in my passport renewal. But that won't happen.

I do enjoy a good rant it seems

[katraska78 6]

/: Sooooo! You're NOT gonna believe what came in the mail today? 2 days before my trip? After performing the following:

-Since my green card took a tour across the entire nation because they failed to register my change of address, and we moved again, I filled for a change of address 7 months before we submitted the Removal of Conditions package.

-A few months after I did that, they sent me a letter reminding me about sending the Removal of Conditions application. Here's the funny part: not to my current address, or the address before that, but to the FIRST address we ever lived in. Thank God it's my mother in Law's and she sent me that letter.

-Terrified that they did'nt register our current address YET AGAIN....I called the customer service, and was told by a representative I should make an info-pass in order to confirm that the USCIS has my current address, because "the application AR-11 you sent, could have been lost in the mail". So I did. I talked to this representative who SAW my information online and confirmed our current address.

-At this point y'all pretty much know the rest of the story: got no NOA 1, so had to make an info-pass, get my passport stamped and did my biometrics early.

AND the frigg'ng NOA1 arrives in the mail today!!!!??????

BUT: the funny part? The sent me an AR-11, so I can properly filled because they claim THEY DO NOT HAVE MY CURRENT ADDRESS!!!! >:/ AND they attached the envelope they used to send it to my CURRENT address with an "undeliverable" stamp on it!!!! :DD

No comments really! I can't make sense of it. Anyways...on the positive side, I am traveling with the NOA and the stamp....just in case...just in case!

[katraska78 6]

Oh! And the NOA 1 date is 05-16-2012... Please update my info? Thank you!
