Remove condicion from a work/Flight attendant

[Nananana 0]

I really don’t know what to, my Greencard expires in 53 days and I send all the paperwork , form I-751 to remove condition and they didn’t even  cash the check yet, I work as a Flight Attendant and I fly internationally every week, I am already having problems to go back to USA every time I leave the country. Any suggestions on what should I do ? I try to call USCIS but it seems impossible to talk to a person on the phone is always the machine, maybe I should schedule an appointment ? 

If someone is in a similar situation please let me know what did you do 

 

thank you

How long ago did you file ? 

[usmsbow 801]

Yeah, when did you send in your documents? If it was more than a week ago, but less than a month I suspect you forgot to include something in your packet, and they're sending it back to you. That happened last year with my wife's petition. 

 

If it's been more than a month, I recommend setting up an infopass appointment since talking to them hasn't helped at all.

 Does your airline have domestic routes? Can you ask to just fly in the USA until this gets resolved?

You shouldn't have any issues entering the US if your green card is still valid (and it looks like it is). 

 

It would help if you'd say when did you file your ROC. 

 

I'm sure you know approval takes a long time anywhere from 12 to 20 months.

Why are you having problems when your current 2yr card is still valid?

I send 10 days ago, first time I send it was 98 days before expiring so they send back saying I send too early, so I send again after the 90 days. I’m gonna try to set up this info pass. Thank you

It is still valid but the kyoks that crew members go to say that is going to expire so I can use them anymore so I have to go true customs and that is causing delays on the flights I work for and the company doesn’t like when delays happen 

 

thank you

Because is going to expire and the machines at the airport doesn’t accept anymore if is going to expire within 90 days

Even when you get your NOA1, you're going to have to go through the "slow line" and not the kiosks. Unfortunately you're not going to be able to use the kiosks until you get your 10-year card, which you won't get for at least a year. Maybe look into global entry?

Most airlines will put you on a domestic/restricted schedule until you receive your extension letter (I know some airlines do not fly domestic, if that is your case, then you might have to take a leave until you receive the letter); it is done by crew scheduling, or yourself while you put your bid in - check in with your base manager. It is done not only for ROC, but for US citizens crew members losing /renewing their passport.   Good luck.

I’m also a crew member traveling with the extension letter. I find it easier now than before because we can just skip the kiosk and go straight to the counter. We don’t wait in normal line like the peasants but the dedicated crew line. No problem with the officers either, it’s always a quick process and I even got ahead of other crew members using global entry.

Global Entry will not be approved if her GC expires. We applied for GE during ROC, they denied it because they wanted the 10 yr card. If she does the application quick enough while her current GC is valid she might get approved but once her card expires the kiosks will not accept her again because GE is not a card you scan at the kiosk, you still need to scan your passport/valid GC

They always ask me so many questions, and I am in my uniform, usually takes extra 40min for me even if I just go straight to the officer, I need to figure it out a way to get my passport stamped on USCIS
