I-751 January 2013 still waiting??!

[Bibi and Beebti 4]

HI everyone,

We filed in January 2013 (details in signature) at Vermont center. Recently (October) received an RFE to provide Police Clearances because my biometrics failed twice. We sent them in and they were received 2 weeks ago.

Anyone experience a similar RFE and how long did you wait before receiving your card or an interview? We're really worried about too long delays, we're trying to travel out of country for Christmas and it seems we may have to cancel our travels

what kind of turn-around can we expect after RFE response...does anyone have experience with Police Clearance RFEs? are other january filers still waiting? it's been so stressful waiting and not being able to travel, and looks like we won't have x-mas either

Why are you not travelling? You have an expired GC with a one year extension. Why not use it? The only issue will be if the airlines are not trained very well and do not know about the extension letter, but most major international air carriers know that with the ORIGINAL extension letter and the expired GC, you will be admitted back into the US. Also, if it comes to you being within 90 days of your third year as a LPR, file for Naturalization so it will force them to make a decision on the ROC.

You can travel.

Sorry to hear you are still waiting! I'm an April 2013 filer and already at my wits end waiting for my RFE to be responded after I had submitted almost 2 months ago. My 60-days is up this Saturday so I may have to resolve to getting a service request.

Responses to RFEs varies. If you look at the handful of April filers with RFEs, it appears they have received approvals within 2 weeks or so and a card about 2 weeks after that.

So if all goes well for you, you can expect to hear back from USCIS soon. But if you're like me, you may have to wait 60 days.

With that said, the extension letter should be proof that your PR is still valid - yes there may be hiccups experienced by some but I think that is rare.

Just make sure you carry with you the expired GC, an extension letter and a valid passport. Go on your vacation. Good luck!

Wow, Im really sorry to hear that! Haven't you filed for your Naturalization yet though (N-400) ? you should be eligible. We're going to file for sure in January even if we don't hear from USCIS Re I-751.

We've noticed a lot of people hear did that- file their N-400- were approved and still haven't received word about their I-751.
