Hi everyone.  It's been awhile since I've been on but I always follow along.  We now have our own situation with respect to the 2 year GC, and the extension they gave us because her current card expired.

1)  We have sent in the forms, money, and proof of our marriage and done it all properly and received a form indicating their backlog and granting my wife an additional year on her 2 year card.  It's up in November 2018.

2)  It's August now.

3)  We have no received any further communication on her 10 year card application other than their acknowledgment of receiving it and the aforementioned extension for one year.  We're getting a little nervous. There's only 4 months left and you all know how slow they are with this stuff.

4)  What will happen if we don't have the 10 year card by the time the extension runs out?  Might we get another one before that date?  Do we need to report to anyone, someone, everyone?  I wrote to them today so I'm waiting to hear back - hopefully soon.

5)  Can our local consular office in St. Albans Vt. stamp her passport for an additional 6 months?

6)  Can she travel out of the country (Canada) with only this stamp?  We have a daughter who lives in Montreal.

 

I'm hoping someone out there can once again guide us and tell us what to expect.  We want to go back to Bohol Philippines in spring of next year and don't wish to have this trip us up when we try to reenter.

Thank you all in advance.

 

Love you guys!

Doug and Ana Vensel

About one month before her green card expires, make an Infopass appointment at your local office.  They will give her an I-551 stamp in her passport OR a letter that extends her "extension".  With either of those, she is free to travel.

 

Hopefully, something will happen and she'll get her 10-year card before November!

 

Good luck!

Make an infopass appointment HERE within a month or so of expiry and go get a passport stamp, which will serve as continued evidence of lawful status.

Your entitlement to work, live, and travel is unaffected and remains.

Yes. Typically stamps are issued for 12 months at a time.

Yes.

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.

You cannot apply for ROC until it is 90 days or less before the date on the card plus 2 years. Dec 2016 would give Sept 2018 .. the actual date in Sept depending on the date in Dec.. you aren’t there yet
