I-751 questions

[chaze 0]

Hello all,

I am sure, my questions have been answered at some point here in this forum. It is indeed a great resource but I am in a bit of hurry and havent been able to find exactly what I was looking for so I'll just ask it here:

So I just sent in my I-751 application (joint filing) to the Vermont center and it was received yesterday 1/13/15. My gc expires 2/2/15 (work authorization as well i believe) and so I am a bit nervous about the implications of an rfe or any possible issues that may arise. So my questions are as follows.

1. When can I expect to receive the NOA1?

I have seen instances where this was received fairly quickly (less than a week type of quickly)

2. Will the NOA1 have the extension letter/notice (if so, how is that possible? are the documents and evidence processed and verified that quickly? or is the extension solely based on the fact that the application has been properly filed?)

3. is the NOA sent via email or postal mail or both?

4.Is there a situation where the NOA1 is a rejection of the application? and what else could cause that assuming the document has been "properly" filed

5. What happens to my employment status if I do not receive the NOA1 on time? (my employer happens to check these things regularly as we are federal contractors).

I honestly dont anticipate any issues but I will be glad if someone can address these concerns.

Hello all,

I am sure, my questions have been answered at some point here in this forum. It is indeed a great resource but I am in a bit of hurry and havent been able to find exactly what I was looking for so I'll just ask it here:

So I just sent in my I-751 application (joint filing) to the Vermont center and it was received yesterday 1/13/15. My gc expires 2/2/15 (work authorization as well i believe) and so I am a bit nervous about the implications of an rfe or any possible issues that may arise. Why did you wait so long to submit Form I-751? So my questions are as follows.

1. When can I expect to receive the NOA1? My wife received hers in a couple of days from CSC, could take 7-10 days. Not sure about VSC.

I have seen instances where this was received fairly quickly (less than a week type of quickly)

2. Will the NOA1 have the extension letter/notice (if so, how is that possible? are the documents and evidence processed and verified that quickly? or is the extension solely based on the fact that the application has been properly filed?) The I-797 Receipt notice (NOA1) is the receipt and the one-year GC extension letter.

3. is the NOA sent via email or postal mail or both? We received by USPS.

4.Is there a situation where the NOA1 is a rejection of the application? Unaware of that, a receipt notice is acknowledgement of receipt. and what else could cause that assuming the document has been "properly"filed There are any number of things that result in a rejection, check recent forum threads for details.

5. What happens to my employment status if I do not receive the NOA1 on time? (my employer happens to check these things regularly as we are federal contractors). If your GC is expired and you don't have the NOA1 notice, what are the consequences? Hence the general forum recommendation to mail in your I-751 petition early on in the 90-way petition acceptance window. Hopefully you will be okay.

I honestly dont anticipate any issues but I will be glad if someone can address these concerns.

Welcome to the forum.

It helps everyone that uses the forum.

Good luck on your immigration letter.

I suggest looking at the recent months' groups in this forum. You can check the last page of each of the threads to see how approvals are moving along.

I got my NOA1 very quickly and my biometrics appointment much faster than expected as well. That was California which seems to be faster than Vermont. But if you look at the monthly groups here as I mentioned you will see the current trends in approvals for both service centers.
