Not yet. I have been trying since yesterday but I remember that case #s from AOS took couple days to work so I am not too concerned. It will probably take couple days for it to work. 

I have used the website and then the tracking app. 

I can find my case number at new USCIS website https://my.uscis.gov/ immedately,

at the old website or APPs still not available.

bold-- when we do get that letter?

You don't - he wrote it himself. The USCIS Policy Manual is pretty clear on this - you can file your N-400 within 90 days of the end of the 3rd year of lawful permanent residency. He was doing what the rules say. Now, he was fortunate to get concurrent processing, but again, the rules say that when an I-751 petition is outstanding and an N-400 is received at a different office, the I-751 will be transferred to where the N-400 is being processed.

 

This is =excellent= news for us CSC folks looking at upwards of a 2 year timeline!

 

Link: USCIS Policy Manual: Chapter 5 – Conditional Permanent Resident Spouses and Naturalization

 

If an applicant’s petition to remove conditions is pending at the time of filing [N-400] or is filed prior to the interview, USCIS will adjudicate the petition to remove conditions prior to or concurrently with the adjudication of the naturalization application.

We have a trip planned and the green card will expire while we're abroad. I felt fine about it when we planned it but I'm pretty much at a dead panic now and will probably cancel the trip. It doesn't help that we went there (Puerto Vallarta, Mexico) at the same time last year (last week Oct/first week Nov, yes we aren't filing the first possible second, and yes I feel guilty and stupid about it) and had some pretty stressful confusion with the ticket agent understanding the expired K1 visa and the valid green card. I don't want to imagine dealing with an expired visa and expired green card and some letter they may have never seen. MAYBE getting a 551 stamp would help ease this thought but I kind of doubt it. See also: I really am pretty much in a panic over this whole thing this time.

I think you'll be fine re-entering at a port of entry into the US - I-797 is a US-government issued document after all and they can verify your lawful presence electronically - but my concern is with foreign airlines who will just look at the expired green card and deny boarding. I had to fight tooth and nail to get British Airways to let me onto a plane to San Francisco when I had my EAD + Advance Parole. The staff had no idea what it was.

 

I suppose I could print out the guidelines and take them with me but.. ugh. I feel your pain.

 

[Edit] Extension letter travel has been discussed exhaustively here.

Yes for sure I wouldn't be worried about POE, but very much about airline employees (who was the problem last year).

 

The flights are refundable (yay Southwest!) and I hadn't booked a hotel yet and now I won't. Less about this worry and more about not being 100% sure that we will get the 797 before our departure date and I simply don't want to worry about it. We'll either delay or maybe go somewhere domestically during that time. Too bad but I guess what do you expect with USCIS?

I went to Maui in July. It was beautiful. Would recommend.

I know... I guess you sent it to California... I got really lucky because they changed locations 3 days before i sent my package. I already had everything set up to send to California.

 

I hope you receive your notice soon!!!
