No, aside from the kiosks in USCIS offices, which offer exactly the same appointments that are available online, so are in effect useless.

 

Try again around midnight.

Appointments open up 00.01 monday thru friday, for the monday thru friday 14 days from then. They do not open up on saturdays or sundays.

However, this time is not exact - I have seen them appear from 9pm onwards, and sometimes well after midnight (I have seen  2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 am). If you are really lucky, a short notice cancellation will appear but don't count on it. 

CR1 / DCF (London): 2012 / 2013 (4 months from I-130 petition to visa in hand)

I-751 #1- April 2015 [Denied]

 

April 2015 : I-751 Joint filing package sent fedex next day 09:00am from UK ($lots - thanks). 
Jan 2017: Notification that an interview has been scheduled at a local office. Bizarrely still no RFE... 
Jan 2017: 2hr wait, then interview terminated before it began, due to moving my ID to another state 2 wks prior. New interview 'in a few months...maybe.'   Informed them that divorce proceedings are underway, but not finalised at this time. 
March 2017: An Interview was scheduled - marked as no-show as they didn't actually send out a notification of interview. FML 
April  2017: Filed an official complaint with the ombudsman, and have requested Senator & Congressman assistance
August 2017: Interview - switched to a (finalised) divorce waiver. Told that decision will be made that afternoon, but no problems foreseen with my case. 
October 2017: Letter of Denial received - reason given as 'I-751 petition was not properly filed'. Discovered ex-spouse made false allegations to USCIS in 2015. No opportunity given to review & refute allegations  - contrary to USCIS policy.

I-751 #2 - Oct 2017 - Mar 2021[Denied] 

 

October 2017: Within 72hrs of receiving denial notice, a new waiver I-751, divorce decree & $680 cheque, sent to Vermont via FedEx overnight 9am priority.  
Dec 2019: Filed FOIA request for full A# file
Feb 2020: FOIA request completed - entire A# file received as a .PDF; 197 pages fully redacted, and 80 partially redacted. Don't waste your time!
March 2021: I-751 #2 denied for lack of evidence. No RFE, no interview, and evidence in previous I-751 not reviewed - contrary to policy. Huge errors in adjudication.

N-400 - Feb 2018 - Apr 2021 [Denied]

 

February 2018: N-400 filed online.  $725 paid to the USCIS paperwork wastage fund

February  2019: Interview - cancelled after a four hour wait due to 'missing paperwork' on their end. Promised Expedited reschedule.

March 2021: Interview letter received, strangely dated after I-751 denial. No I-751 interview conducted. N-400 interview and test passed, given 'cannot make a decision at this time' paper due to the ongoing I-751 nightmare...

April 2021: N-400 denial received citing recent I-751 denial as basis for ineligibility, even though it should have been a combo interview 🤯

I AM JACK'S COMPLETE LACK OF SURPRISE

Service Motion - March 2021 [Sent via FedEx & COMPLETELY IGNORED by USCIS]

 

March 2021: Service Motion request sent overnight addressed direectly to field office director, requesting urgent review and re-opening, based on errors in adjudication - citing USCIS policy, AFM and memorandums as basis for errors. This was completely ignored by USCIS.

 I-751 #3 - June 2021 - Jan 2024 [Denied]

 

IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY

June 2021: I-751 #3 (30+lbs/5000 pages of paperwork) & another $680 sent to USCIS via FedEx ($300+..thanks) .... 

June 2021: Receipt issued, card charged, biometrics waived, infopass scheduled for I-551 stamp number ten.....

Feb 2022: RFIE (no, not an RFE, a Request For Initial Evidence) received, for copies of the divorce paperwork that they already have 😑

July 2022: Infopass for I-551 stamp number eleven.....

August 2023: Infopass for I-551 stamp number twelve....

January 2024: Denial received, ignoring the overwhelming majority of the filing, abundance of evidence, and refutation of a provably false allegation. The denial also contradicts itself in multiple places, as if it was written by someone with an IQ <50.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

2024: FML. Seriously. I'm done.

I called and spoke with an L2 officer, after almost 2 weeks i finally got an I-797 notice of action. it says "your request for removal of conditional basis of your permanent resident status has been approved."

 

Can I take this piece of paper to the DMV to get my drivers license removed? or will the people at the DMV ask for my new permanent resident card? the new permanent resident card will take 60 days to arrive. i do not want to go to infopass appointment  for a stamp if this I-797 will suffice in renewing the drivers license.

The DMV is *supposed* to accept the i-797....however sometimes it's a struggle to get the clerk to understand they are supposed to as seen below in this thread and countless others around here...some good tips in this thread:

 

Note this suggestion in particular: " I suggest you print out their online policy that says they accept the extension letter i-797 NOA, and take it to the driver license office and show it to them. "

I don't believe you can use that because it doesn't even specify its length of validity. When a DMV is supposed to accept an I-797 Notice of Action, that refers to the one-year extension letter (which is what the above reply to your post is referring to as well). You'll have to wait a few days or weeks for the ten-year green card to arrive in the mail, and then you can use that to renew your driver license.

Thank you for pointing this out! It does NOT specify the length of validity. However, I still wonder if they will accept it. Does anyone here know for sure?

Shouldnt it be obvious from this form that it will be a ten-year green card, so they will go based on that assumption?

It worked! Took it to the DMV today, they extended the driver license for 2 more years.
