I-751 September 2016 Filers

[Ketsuban 1,034]

Still waiting for my biometric appointment. I was hoping it would be in my mailbox today but I think I'll give it another 2 or 3 weeks before I get overly worried.

Easiest way to add/update the List

1. Make sure you are on the correct thread you want to add the post to.

2. At the top of the thread, you will find a blue button that says "Reply to this topic". Click it.

3. You will see your posting box. You don't need to alter any fonts or colors etc. One of the icons (top right hand side) is the editor options. Once clicked 2 boxes pop up. Make sure "Paste as plain text by default" is unchecked.

4. Scroll down the page until you come across the first applicant date list. Copy and paste the list and relevant information and paste it in the editing box above. (I use the right mouse click button to copy text and right mouse click to paste. DO NOT "Paste as plain text" as it may not format correctly).

5. Your information in the editing box should look like the actual post with all lines and hyphens in line with each other.

6. If you are adding your name to the list, you need to add a line. Place cursor at the end of the last line and press enter. This continues the correct font and size. Enter information (your VJ name in CAPITALS) and be careful not to erase any other lines. If you are unsure if you have, click cancel button and start again.

7. To edit hyphens to add dates, find your line with your information on it and delete the hyphens and replace with date.

8. Lastly, if you added your name, make sure you put yourself in the right service center ie, Vermont or California. Remember to change the number of applicants depending on which service center your petition is at.

9. PREVIEW POST. Just to make sure everything looks right before posting. If it looks right, then "Add reply". You're done.

Hello every one

first of all I want to say good luck to all of us

I have a very simple question

do you think having no life insurance is going to be a problem since I have no proof?

I dont think this is an issue. I dont have any either. It's just a suggestion for evidence to submit.

My husband has a policy through work and I'm joint beneficiary with his kid sister, but the website with all the HR stuff seems to have vanished and his employer is notoriously unhelpful so we couldn't add it. Not anticipating any issues.

Got my biometrics appointment letter today even though the notice date was Oct 23 and the postmark date was Oct 24. Bio appointment date for Nov 11 but I will try for early walk-in as I have a scheduling conflict.

What was scary though was I did not get the letter in my mailbox. Instead, someone left it on an ottoman chair in the waiting area for the elevators in my building. This is unacceptable for USPS to misdeliver something this important!!

Our mailmen screw up sometimes too. We have a plastic box by the front door of the apartment building, just in front of the mailboxes, for flyers and whatnot to go in. One day we found most of our mail including bank statements, health insurance claims and tickets to a sports game in this box instead of our private mailbox (he did manage to put some spam mail into our mailbox though). Another time a different mailman left a small package full of new check books on top of the mailboxes, out in the open. Yet another delivered my new phone to a completely different mailbox even though we all have our names on them. Surely they must get mail at home too and know how important it is to make sure other people can't steal it. I understand they must be under time constraints but I feel it's unacceptable behaviour.

Finally got to talk today with someone at USCIS who can actually look up our case status (they won't forward you to them until it's been 30 days since you filed the I-751, won't talk to me without my wife's permission even though I'm the joint filer with my signature on it and everything, and can't forward you directly to the people but instead schedule a call-back for hours later and hope for the best).

However, all they could tell us is that they CAN'T FIND any record that we've filed the I-751. This is with my wife's conditional green card expiring on Friday, November 4. They suggested that it may be somewhere in fee waiver limbo, and gave us an email address to contact, from which we got an automatic reply telling us they'd get back to us within 15 days.

I think we're going to just send the whole thing all over again tomorrow, with payment this time. The fee is a significant hardship for us, but having to fight a deportation order sounds worse, even if we'd be almost certain to win.

Do you know the name of the insurance company? Even though the employer is paying the premium the insurance is most likely carried by an insurance company (Metlife, AAA etc.). You could try calling them and get a copy of the policy document along with the beneficiary information. It is probably a good idea to keep a copy of this document with you where you keep important documents. We have been scanning all the important documents and keeping electronic copies (in addition to the original paper copies).

The last time someone received their biometrics appointment in mail was 11 days ago..smh

I just got my biometrics notice dated Oct 23. It somehow got delivered to a different apartment mailbox.

has anybody been able yet to check their status on My Case Status?

sorry, ignore this, I used the wrong receipt number. Looks like my status wasn't updated, though, it says "Case Was Received

On September 6, 2016, we received your Form CRI-89, Petition to Remove Conditions of Permanent Resident Status Received"

I did my biometrics yesterday, really fast, they didn't have anyone there. Now just waiting hoping for no RFEs.

I noticed that my bio appt has 2 receipts numbers.. is this true for everyone?

Yes. 2 numbers is correct. I have no idea why but only 1 number will work in the case status info. Case statuses dont get updated after biometrics.

I hope you dont have any RFE either.

I wasn't so lucky with AOS. I got RFE (we knew that was coming thou) and we got an interview. I'll be hoping for no interview this time as taking 3 small children to USCIS and waiting for 2 hrs was not fun last time.
