Delivered to NSC on 12-27-06

Single $275.00 checked cashed on 1-2-07. I can clearly read the hand written LIN number on rear of check but not registering in the system

NOA1 comes in the mail on 1-12-07 with completely different LIN number and this one is registered, message on site reads,

Receipt Number: lin07063*****

Application Type: CRI89, PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED

Current Status: Case received and pending.

On December 28, 2006, we received this CRI89 PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when yours will be done. This case is at our NEBRASKA SERVICE CENTER location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

NOA1 states that biometrics appoinment notice will follow and that we MUST (yes in bold) wait until we receive the notice before going to the Application Support Center (ASC) for biometrics processing. So now we wait again.

Marilyn and Peter.

I filed 12/22. Got G-711 on 1/4. Seems like everybody else that filed a few days after us is getting their NOA's, and some are at VSC like me. What gives?

I am not really sure. I have been enjoying my break from the immigration process and have only returned here recently when it came time to create the I-751 package. Our AOS process was kind of similar. Things happened pretty fast except for the wait at the NSC. I created this post to follow the amount of time required. Take care and good luck to you too.

Hi Peter,

Did you fill out just two pages of application forms?

Thanks,

Amid all this confusion, I thought I'd phone "support". I started simply by asking what the fee for I-751 was.

Her - "$205"

Me - "OK, but the website says $275"

long pause while she checks

Her - "Yes, $275."

Me - "So the forms that say $205 are wrong?"

Her - "Er, it's $205 + $75 for biometrics"

Me - "So if I send a cheque for $275 it's not going to get rejected?"

Another long pause

Her - "No, the fee is $275"

I'm paraphrasing, since I got her to tell me maybe half a dozen times.

I also suggested they update the forms.

So, although not filled with total confidence, I sent the single cheque for $275.

I'll let you know if mine was cashed. This is through Nebraska.

Ives,

The entire downloaded form from the USCIS website is 4 pages of instructions and 2 pages that must be filled out so 6 pages total. We filled out the 2 pages and just sent those if that is what you are asking. We did not send the 4 pages of instructions.

Just so others don't get confused, it cost $205 for the I-751 submission and $70 for the biometrics for a total of $275.00.

I sent Marilyn Petition today, express mail to the NSC. The recent form and fee with biometrics ($275.00) was enclosed on one check.

Marilyn and Peter.

Hey there, I remember you from AOS filing. Im in Denver also, and what a coincidence I just sent in my petition today also! Hope all goes well for you.

Thanks, Peter. Yes that is what I was asking. I wanted to make sure I only had 2 pages to fill out. I am planning to send just one cheque for $275. You think that's ok??

Update to our I-751 process.

Biometrics were taken yesterday at the ASC center in Denver. It was a full set of fingerprints and picture. We arrived 20 minutes early and our number was called within 5 min of the scheduled appointment. The process took 10-15 minutes because Marilyn's prints were not coming through that well.

Now I guess we wait to see if we are called for another interview or the new 10 yr green card arrives in the mail. Either way I think we have another 4-6 months to wait.

Take care, Marilyn and Peter.

Here's our update: NOA and biometrics appt. letters arrived same day, 1/20. Biometrics appt is for 1/30.

Barring a 6 for 6 snowstorm for the Denver metro area we should be able to make the drive down from Boulder. I looked at the processing times for I-751's out of Nebraska and they were working on July 16, '06. Not bad.... I still wonder why we have to go through biometrics again though, this will be my husband's third time doing this. Do fingerprints change all that much in 2 1/2 years?????

Hi,

I sent my application yesterday, and I see that they already got it...

I too sent one money order for a total of $275.00.

Im pretty sure that this is the correct payment....
