Hi.

My ROC package was received on sat 06/14. I wonder if they'll take a look at it tomorrow (monday 06/16) or if it'll take a week or so. The girl at the post office told me the USCIS wait until they have a big bunch of packages in the P.O. BOX to collect them...

Also, a very dumb question. what does NOA means?

To those new to VJ, here is a list of all these infernal acronyms: http://www.visajourney.com/content/us-immigration-abbreviations

To be fair, I think these are universally used on the internet, and in official circles, not just here!

12/24/2010 I proposed. She accepted and stayed.

02/25/2011 Married!

03/19/2012 FINALLY submitted the AOS paperwork: I-130, I-485, I-765, etc.

03/23/2012 Received notification that USCIS has received everything.

03/26/2012 Biometrics Appointment Notice: April 23, 2012.

04/02/2012 NOA's received. Now we wait...

04/23/2012 Biometrics completed.

05/18/2012 EAD card mailed but not yet received.

06/06/2012 Rough interview but we think we're approved! Website says i485 status "Card Production".

06/12/2012 We received the "Welcome the United States" letters! Website says Green Card was mailed.

LIMBO: Green card lost in mail. Facing the possibility of paying hundreds in fees and basically repeating the entire process.

All good now! USPS lost it, then found it.

04/24/14 Back to VJ to get help with I-751, Removal of Conditions.

05/31/14 Mailed I-751 finally, with less than a week to deadline!

AtariBaby - Just to clarify, is the letter/document you are referring to that shows an extension of the status for one year that also states it's okay to work and travel - is it the NOA1? Or is it the biometrics appointment letter?

My husband and I wish to travel to Toronto, Canada at end of Sept for my sister in law's wedding but we are not sure if it's safe for my husband to travel since his green card expires beginning of Sept and we may or may not get the approval of the removal of conditions on residency by then.

Thanks in advance for clarifying! Appreciate it!

Two things: I'm certain I read somewhere that as long as you have your NOA1, you are all good to travel outside the US. I'll look for that now.

Secondly, there is a thread on which offices are known to be cool with early walk-ins, though the consensus seems to be that an early biometrics has no impact on the speed of completion of the process.

I'll look for those things now and update this post.

Update 1: That letter extends your status for one year while you're being processed and if you read it, it okays work and travel.

Update 2: Sorry if I'm missing the point and saying things you already know, but you should keep the receipt with your green card as you travel.

Hi yes, it's the "NOA1". The Biometrics letter is a second letter that you get commanding you to the appointment. The first "Notice of Action" states in one of the paragraphs that your green card is extended for an additional year, and that you may work and travel. It says to keep the letter with your green card. I would urge making a photocopy or scan for records, just in case it gets lost.

12/24/2010 I proposed. She accepted and stayed.

02/25/2011 Married!

03/19/2012 FINALLY submitted the AOS paperwork: I-130, I-485, I-765, etc.
