No problem if it even takes an extra couple of weeks to receive your one year extension notice if you are just planning on staying home. Once your conditional card expires, not permitted to work or travel.

One reason why we tacked the application date to our refrigerator door. Every thing was filled out with all the required evidence, all we had to do was to mail it. After we filled in the date and signed it.

You are on time. Don't worry. File as soon as you can so will receive your NOA1/One-year extension letter without any gap. You can continue to work and travel with the extension letter.

Mahalo/Salamat!

My green card expired on Jan 16th this year I mailed my i-751on Jan 5th, used usps next day delivery and they received it the very next day Jan 6th and I had my NOA1 in my hands with the one year extension less than a week later.

I am the kind of person that does stuff a lot last minute (not something I am proud of, just a fact) so I just made sure that I had a range of evidence in my i-751 ensuring that the minimum was included (copy of green card, completed form, cover letter and check) together with the evidence that I could get hold of easily. Then just told myself that if they need extra evidence, they can just request it. It will not be the end of the world.

I put in:

1 copy of a bank statement for our savings account

1 copy of a check for our checking account showing both our names

print outs of my husbands health and life insurance showing me as a beneficiary

copy of our rental agreement for our apartment showing both of our names

a copy of a document showing joint ownership of a property we bought

and a copy of our boarding passes for a vacation we took together in the summer

I am sure that many others would put in tons more stuff (I saw someone on here say the put in 250 pages) but to me the evidence that I put in seems reasonable and if they want more they can ask and I can send it in at a later date or take it to an interview. Also fyi, if you really cannot get hold of any evidence quickly when I received my noa1 it does note that I could send any extra evidence that I think will help my case to them, so if you wanted you could follow up the initial evidence with your i-751 with some extra evidence after you get your noa1 if you needed a little extra time.

I do not know the answer to this I am afraid. I would call USCIS and ask them which address would be best to use and the best way to update your address with them.

I received my NOA1 on about January 11th I think.

hello folks I am in the same boat as OP(card expires on 3/3/16) and black widow (forgot to file AR-11 within 10 days). Though I did file my AR-11 online I was late by almost a month twice (once moving across a state and other within the same state but in in our own home ). Not sure how bad the application will look due to that and I am freaking out slightly due to both of it. Were late because getting letters attested from friends/family members took a long time. Has any one really had issues due to filling late AR-11 when applying for ROC? Also do you think it is worth putting copies of the filed AR-11 in the ROC package or just let it be?
