How in the world do I book an infopass appointment? I have been trying for 3 Days straight now. I just logged in at 12:30am and still nothing. 

 

Can anyone help with this, cause I can’t. 😩

 Downlod google chrome, install auto super refresh extension & visual pin extension. Go on the page of the uscis that shows the availability for the appts, launch both extensions and fingers crossed you'll find a spot within hours. I got mine in this way

Hello,

Could anyone kindly shed light on how domestic airline travel works with a pending i751 and expired green card - I'm slated to fly to Vegas next month but like many others, the green card hass expired and the extension letter is also expiring at the end of this month (jan) and I'm awaiting CSC to grant the 10-year GC. Do I need the i551 stamp or is a valid drivers license sufficient for domestic travel? Thank you in advance for your help.

DL is enough if it also comply with TSA regulation. Get the I551 if you can

lately they are asking 2 proof with photo from some states that allow people have the drivers license without proof of residency...I would go for the stamp is free. In my case I just walk in to the office ...I did took 2 appoiments before and the 3th one I was w/no app..good luck!

I think this is only if your license is not REALID compliant. Also, worst case, just bring your passport, that is always acceptable form of ID.

 

https://www.dhs.gov/news/2016/12/12/tsa-notify-travelers-upcoming-2018-real-id-airport-enforcement

 

" Effective January 22, 2018, TSA will only accept state-issued driver’s licenses or identification cards if they are issued by a REAL ID compliant state or a non-compliant state with an extension.  As always, travelers may use alternate forms of identification such as a passport, military ID, or permanent resident card. A complete list of identification documents accepted at TSA checkpoints is available on tsa.gov."

I use my Canadian passport.  No issues.

Hello, I am not planning to travel outside of the US. My GC had expired in March 2017. Is it necessary that I get a I-551 stamp? Additionally, is it OK if I get a I-551 stamp after the expiration of the 1 year extension? Thank you!

If you need it, yes you can get it any time, even if your extension has expired for a year or more.

But it's not a compulsory thing, you could get it just if you need it, for example if you are planning to travel outside US, or your job requests it, or some other cases.

I was going to do that (I was eligible to apply in November), but heard that sometimes they hold the ROC until they process the N400.  This isn't a problem if you just applied for ROC, and the N400 is shorter (you'd get your ROC done sooner), but right now, the i-751 should be done in 4 months, and the N-400 is 8 months plus, so it would delay getting my green card.  I really don't want delay the GC, just because it is easier.  I'm going to wait until I get the GC, then apply for N-400.  Just my opinion.

I tend to think the other way.  If naturalization is the final goal, why wait 4+ months then an additional 8+ months just to get a plastic card that will be obsolete in 8 months when you can cut 4+ months out of the final goal?  Sure, it means going down to USCIS to get another one year extension, but why is the plastic card so important?

Hi All

 

Quick question, I just moved from LA County to OC County so I need to do change of address.

 

1. is AR 11 only thing we need to file? Also do we do two AR 11 for each case numbers(I believe everyone here has 2 case numbers)? 

2. Is updating the address on online an option? Or should I still file AR 11 as well?

3. I see someone mentioning something about we need to change CRI89 (not sure what this exactly is) address as well? Can someone explain to me what this is?

My situation is a little different because I'm also doing a name change with the I-751.  I don't want to delay that...

The immigrant spouse will fill out the online form AR-11 within 30 days of a change of address.  If your U.S citizen spouse was your sponsor he/she will mail form I-865 within in 10 days of the address change. See the links:

Does anyone here got approved their I-751 Dec 2016 filers, living here in California? Thanks!

I went to info pass appointment today. When I called uscis prior to scheduling, they told me to bring 3 passport style photos since my passport expired. At my appointment today, the officer didnt look at any of the documents that I brought with me, he just asked for my passport, even tho it is expired, and stamped it for another 1 year extension. So that was kinda weird. Also, he told me another 6-7 months to get the 10yr green card. I asked if n400 can be approved before i751 is approved and he couldnt give me straight answer, something like 'it is a debate', not sure what he meant by that.
