We sent ours this past Saturday, June 2. USPS says delivered Jun 4. Now wait for the NOA. And then wait and wait. I hear that filing N-400 at the 2yr, 9mo+ date can expedite the I-751. We are planning to try that also. Saw a post in a forum that someone got an approval on I-751 in 6 months post conditional green card expiration. So this is some hope for a faster time. But likewise the many post of long wait times are out there too. Perseverence is the name of the game.

So happy to find another couple like you guys!!! We sent ours on 6-8-18. Now the waiting time begins !!!!!!! Just a little nervous about the financial proof!!!! Hopefully everything is going to be smooth~~~~ :):):):):):)

I’m an attorney and work on many immigration cases.  Last week I set up a call with a tier two officer to ask about a client’s green card.  We got lucky and the call back was made from someone in the National service department - not east or west,can’t remember the name (they’re able to clear. a lot of red tape when you want to put in a service request since all requests go to them in the end).  

 

We got to talking about the process of removal of conditions and my husband as we passed the time waiting for him to do something and we talked about a few things.

 

Right now he confirmed Vermont is faster than California with I-751.  

 

We also talked about filing your naturalization papers while you have a pending I-751.  He confirmed that your naturalization paperwork won’t be approved until the I-751 is completed.  He also said that it takes longer to process both applications when they’re both pending because you’ll have two different offices fighting for your hard file which then causes the file to be shipped between one office and another,

 

Mind you this is one viewpoint but he did raise an interesting point.

 

In the end I think it’s luck and who is ultimately reviewing your file.  

 

I am curious to to see whether or not they interview us this time around, his green card was approved without one.

Thanks for the info. I will search around a bit more nad see if I can correlate other responses about the N400/I751 issue and see where the numbers go. I agree about the luck comment. That and perhaps and good congresspersons office staff who get behind you in a long delay situation. I got an answer on our K-1 petition 1 week after I contacted my congress reps office. Found out it was sitting in a pile on someone's desk. But good results since. I 751 took about 8 months total.

Hope the best for you guys. I think it is a matter of being thorogh and give lots of info. Our interview for 751 was interesting but I felt we did well, although my husband was a bit scared. I think it was the fact that she told him we would hear within 60 days that threw him. We heard in about a week. I guess that is just the usual phrase they spout.

Hi Guys,

 

My cousin has to file I-751 in a few months.  Can she include her minor son in her paperwork, even though his green card doesn't expire until Dec 2019?

 

Thanks!

Guess we're on this team now. Mailed our package yesterday to CSC. Getting prepared for the long wait. Frustrating because our K1, EAD, AP, and I485 all took significantly longer than than the normal wait time (especially since we had no RFEs). This is another drop in the bucket.

 

Good luck to everyone.

Hey guys, my GC expires 9/13 so I guess I will be filing this month as well, let’s do this together! I’ve been super lazy with the gathering of documentation so I really need to buck up.

 

my biggest concern right now is my employment. I’m a Delta flight attendant so I fly in and out of the country a lot. How will this process affect my ability to get through immigration in a timely fashion? I don’t want to have a secondary every time I come back into the country!

 

also, the letter only extends the date for one year right? And I heard it typically takes more than a year to complete the ROC? So can I still work for Delta when it does expire?

 

I don’t have tons of proof other than the usual joint bank accounts and stuff and my summer flying schedule is hectic so I don’t know if I can find time to attend biometric appointment. I’m not worry tho because we are a legit couple but I just worry about my employment with Delta.

 

please tell me that I’m thinking too much.

 

 

Marcus.

You are thinking too much. Concerning the secondary processing, one way to make sure this does not happen is to sign up for Global Entry. Upon your first re-entry in the States using ROC, they will send you to secondary processing, verify that the letter is correct and you can ask to update your GE account then. Afterwards, when you come back to the States, use the GE machine without your Green Card - enter manually your A#. Should work like a charm!

Thanks, that’s all I needed to hear!
