Oh hey when did u had ur biometrics? I need the date for updating the list. Thanks!

Uhhh I can't, my country does not allow dual citizenship. I thought Germany doesn't allow that too.

Germany allows it under some circumstances... its a bit of a hassle but most applications get approved from what ive read.

i haven't look into renouncing my citizenship, would love to know more! Thats great to hear that most approved!

I need to start looking into that, but giving up citizenship is a big decision.

I wont as i would loose my german citizenship..

 

i will wait a few more year until i apply to keep my german citizenship and then do n-400

 

i talked to a few people and a lawyer and they told me the chances that the “beibehaltungsantrag” will be approved are way higher when you live here for a longer time. 

Did you get your GC through marriage? I am not sure if that makes a difference when applying for the bbg and then citizenship?

Yep, German can keep their citizenship if they want another one. It sucks that yours doesn’t allow that  I completely understand that you have to think long and hard what you want to do in the future. Just look at the bigger picture. How much of a hassle would it be to get your citizenship back if you had the American citizenship?

My Bio was 03/23/2018 and was already on a list, however that was only when it was scheduled for.

They’ll probably make you get a stamp in your passport. 

 

As as a side note, renewed my DL this morning. In and out in 10 minutes. Extended for 1 year. 

Which DDS office did you go to? about to renewing mine next month.

Hello, 

 

I have a few international trips coming up in April & May therefore I made an Info Pass appointment and requested an I-551 Stamp. 

The process was very easy, they put a stamp on my passport that extends my permanent residency one year from the date the stamp was issued. They did however take my green card; the lady mentioned that I either had the stamp or the expired green card. I had proof of my trips with me, but she did not ask to see that information. All I gave her was my passport, expired green card, and NOA extension letter. I did ask about the waiting time for California Service center on the removal of conditions and she said they were currently doing October 2016 apps, and I should wait on my bio-metrics for another 90 days! She also mentioned that if I had done bio-metrics in the last 15 months I might not even get a bio-metric appointment since they could use that information. 

 

Another interesting point she made was on my NOA extension letter, apparently the one I was given was in a new format/template that she was not familiar with. So if you are planning on traveling abroad I suggest getting an I-551 stamp to avoid having any issues. The entire process took about one hour.

 

Best of Luck to Everyone!

Why did you need a I-551 stamp if your extension letter is not expired?

 

My local office does NOT even give out I-551 stamps until the letter expires - I asked the supervisor when I was there for biometrics.

 

What does your NOA1 extension letter look like to say it is a new template?

 

I have a number of international trips coming up - the NOA-1 letter had better be enough as it is the only thing I can get.

I got a weird email this morning not sure if anyone else got it.

 

I never called and requested any information since ive filed my case, however I got an email stating

 

"we are still reviewing your case and there are no updates at this time, we will notify you when your case status changes. We last took action on your case on March 13, 2018".

 

I log into my uscis case status and all it says is fingerprint fee received on January 29

 

Anyone else got this email?

Hubby had his biometrics on Friday 3/23.  His appointment was for 1pm, he arrived about 10 minutes early and was out by about 1:05 - said the Buffalo Office was pretty empty during that time.  They did some fingerprints and pictures.

 

Now life goes on until approval or an I-551 stamp lol

 

Wishing everyone the best in their journey, hopefully everyone hears sooner rather than later on their decisions.
