Form I-797C, Notice of Action

[Happy420 0]

Okay, so our form I-797 was received on 02/13/15. Our ASC appointment for finger printing was on 3/26/15. After the appointment they said that we were all set. Am I suppose to be getting something in the mail? I've checked the uscis website to check up on the status of our case. But all it says is that it's still pending. My question is, how much time on average does form I-797 get processed? My wife is constantly telling me to go ask a lawyer or something, but I know that you guys can help me out.

Thank you.

Please fill in your timeline. It's a lot harder to give you help when we don't know where you are in the process. Your post is in adjustment of status, but your profile says you are removing conditions. Which is it?

Looking at my own signature, it took us about 5 months from the biometrics date until the removal of conditions was approved. 10 year green card came a few days later. So you're looking at August or September. I think your wife needs to calm down and be patient, this isn't going to happen overnight.

I'm sorry for the confusion. She's going applying for her 10 year green card. Form I-797.

Thank you so much for the reply. Didn't think that it was out of the norm to wait that long but the wife wanted to make sure.

I think you mean Form I-751. And it's a petition not an application.

I-797 is the Notice of Action form sent from the USCIS.

It can take up to a year or more which is why the first letter extends her stay for a year. No worries. Feel free to join the monthly filer's thread for February.

My wife wanted to travel overseas for the first time in three years later this year. I understand that they've extended her green card for one year but the green card says it is expired. Would she have any problems going through immigration when she travels?

Thanks again.

No but you need to carry expired card and that extension letter. Good luck.

It can take a year or longer to receive the approval for ROC. If your wife travels out of the country she will need to bring her greencard with the extension letter, along with her passport to be allowed back in the USA.
