Pascal07,

Where did you make InfoPass appointment? I will make mine after I get feedback from you. Please do post what happend there.

- Sean

Still no activity.

Can someone tell us whats going on with CSC? What are the current processing dates? Seems like its a long wait now...

- Sean

O man.... i feel its gonna be a while.

- Sean

I'm having the same problem. I-751 delivered to CSC on April 4th, check cashed April 6th. Stil no NOA. I got the receipt # off the check, and when I call they tell me they have it in the system but they don't know when the NOA will be mailed -- or even if it has been mailed. Very frustrating...

I'm with you man -- the dissappointment of my daily stop by the mailbox when I get home from work is really getting to me... I called the 1-800 number and filed a referral to check on it, but apparrently that takes 40 days as well. This is craziness, I just want to be done with it...

Pascal07,

I hope you get this message before your appointment tomorrow. I happend to get a date for InfoPass appointment. Went there with my wife. We applied on March, 30th and had never heard from them. We were told that every thing is ok and our case was pending. Officer also said that looks like we most probebly won't have an interview as some code in the computer indicates that. He stamped her passport for another 6 months and told us that everything is fine and wait for fingerprints and background check appointments.

Make sure to take your passport with you tomorrow and good luck.

Hi Sean - thanks for the message, I'm really glad everything worked out for you. Let's hope I get the same good news tomorrow... I'll post what happened.

After much pleading I got a 3-month I-551 stamp this morning (it wasn't easy though...). They said that the case is in the system but that the receipt hasn't been mailed yet. They sent an email requesting that receipt be mailed. So now I'm back to waiting I guess...

I'm still curious to know if we're the only ones having this issue - anyone else having trouble with I-751's at CSC?

I called the national service center again (because I just can't get over the fact that it's been 70 days and still no NOA...) and it turns out not getting the NOA is only part of the problem. My case is in the system, but they spelled my name wrong! My name was spelled correctly on the appllication, they just entered it wrong. Weird thing is that this isn't the first time this happened - my name was spelled wrongly (a different wrong spelling) on my original green card as well and I had to have it replaced back then!

They now sent a note to CSC to ask them to correct my name and send me an NOA. For what should be a simple process, this I-751 process is turning into quite a mess. Nothing surprises me about USCIS any more...

Even though I'm a newbie here I just want to say thanks for all the posts -- it's a real comfort to hear from others who are going through the same thing...

Pascal07,

I'm glad that things are now moving forward for your guys. What number did you dial to call CSC? Was the wait long? Maybe I should call too. Please provide me with the phone number and any tips.

Regards

Hi guys,

I just wanted to say that we are also STILL waiting. We filed with CSC at the end of March. I seriously thought this was going to be a quick process so I'm with you with the complete confusion over this. My husband called the number for updates before our trip (3 weeks ago) and they didn't really tell him much except to wait for our NOA etc. I think he's going to call again. GC expires in less than 2 weeks. So annoying!

Please keep me posted with your updates. Thanks!

Sorry to hear that - looks like end of March/beginning of April was just a bad date. I'm hitting this from all sides:

(1) Called National Service Center and asked them to submit an inquiry

(2) Went in for an InfoPass appointment to get an I-551 stamp

(3) Writing our congressman to see if they can help -- they were actually a huge help when I had issues with my I-485

Let's keep each other posted - is there a support group for abused I-751 filers?

Pascal07: how did you find out the name was spell incorrectly? Over the phone or when you when in for your InfoPass?

Also, for the I-551 stamp, when does one go about making an InfoPass appointment? 1 week before Conditional GC expire? 2 weeks? Because I simply had bad experience with making an InfoPass appointment since I just never been able to make one during our AoS process or that all appointment has been taken for the day I selected (which would be any date from the calendar they provide).

We are still few months away, but I simply want to cover as much ground and do my "homework" before hand.

Hey - another South African I see! Lekker!

Yes I found out about the name spelling on the phone. I got my receipt # of my cashed check, and when they looked it up they spelled my name and it was incorrect (I have the most common last name in South Africa - I'm sure you know which one I'm talking about - and they always find it difficult to spell here).

I had my InfoPass appt after 60 days of no action (about a month before GC expired). I took a VOE (Verification of Employment) from my employer which also stated that I need to travel for business, as well as a copy of my itinirary and the cashed check. I don't think they'll give you an I-551 unless you can show that you need to travel - but not sure about that. I only got a 3 month extension (after much pleading).

Anyway - good luck!

Yikes. Well my wife (the afrikann - sorry bro) has a relatively long surname - the joke is "so long it wraps around the Visa logo on her credit card!" But anyhow, I hope the Vermont office won't be THAT long (more than 60 days) and that we get some sort of notice / receipt. Cuz only thing I gathered is that the I-551 stamp can only be acquire via an InfoPass and from what I'm hearing you need another set of proofs to verify that you must need it.

anyhow, good luck to all you guys and I hope those that are awaiting anxiously gets the items you need soon. Because I'd hate to go through these stressful times...
