Got NOA 1 today. The biometrics wait begins.

[zuluweta 250]

USCIS just cashed my $590 check today. Here's hoping the NOA extension letter comes soon.

[stackeria 280]

Check cashed at VSC today, 3 business days after packet delivery.

It seems USCIS destroys the check and runs the transaction as an ACH (automated clearing house) transfer. This means the transfer was initiated yesterday, Monday 9/19. If only VSC was as efficient at processing packets as they are at cashing checks...

[jptl85 25]

Hello all!

Sent ours on Friday, 16 September and it should have arrived yesterday.

Not overly concerned by the processing time issue at the moment; at least we are all still PRs and able to live and work in the USA!

[fralifay 1]

The petitioner would be you, the CPR. You can find the form I-751 intructions on the USCIS website. Good luck!

I checked my delivery tracking number, I noticed that the zip code where it says was delivered was different. Now I am freaking out. My GC expires on Sep 30. we had some emergencies and we lost all of our savings so I couldn't send it before.

Has anyone with a tracking number checked their packages? I am wondering if maybe it shows that zip code for all packages, the zip code was 92677.

Mine was delivered on Friday, so by what people has said here, they should cash my check today. I am hoping they do, it will give me some peace of mind

Good luck to everyone

mine was sent on friday the 16th as well. delivered on monday sep 19th . got signature confirmation. so tell me onething , if they cash the check does that mean our application is filled out fine with initial evidence and all and they have accepted it ,will be sending out NOA1 as extension of gc for 1 year and then we have to wait for biometrics and the full review of other evidence we have sent? accepting check means our applications are fine without errors right? btw i heard july and august filers are still waiting for their biometrics appointments. hopefully we all will receive on time.

Can someone help me with Q23 on I751 Form:

Is your spouse currently serving with or employed by the U.S. Government and serving outside the United States?

My spouse is currently employed by the U.S. Government and he is working in the United States. I will still check "yes" box for this question, correct?

My spouse is currently employed by the U.S. Government and he is working in the United States. I will still check "yes" box for this question, correct?

I would check the "No" box. The statement in the question is only true if your spouse is working for the US government AND also serving outside the U.S at the same time.

Let's see what others have to say.

No. Because regardless if your spouse works for the goverment, the key part of the question is "serving outside the US".

Is your husband working outside the US? Then the answer is no.

I think you are right on the check portion. If they cash the check then your application has been filed correctly. However, this could mean you signed in the right places and the check was for the correct amount. It does not mean you will not get an RFE
