How do I make an info pass appointment? I am traveling on December 21st, 2018, I send in my package 09/11/2018 and my green card expires 11/29/2018.

This is my one trip a year to see my parents in the Netherlands and we are going there for Christmas and New Years. What would happen if I go and then come in with my passport?

I think you'll be fine by then, that's a long way off. I believe you're required to use your GC but I'm not sure.

Marriage/ AOS Timeline:

23 Dec 2015: Legal marriage

23 Jan 2016: Wedding!

23 Jan 2016: "Blizzard of the Century", wedding canceled/rescheduled (thank goodness we were legally married first or we'd have had a big problem!) :sleepy:

24 Jan 2016: Small "civil ceremony" with friends and family who were snowed in with us. December was a bit of a secret and people had traveled internationally and knew we *had* to get married that weekend, and our December legal marriage was nothing but signing a piece of paper at our priest's kitchen table, without any sort of vows etc so this was actually a very special (if not legally significant) day. (L)

16 Apr 2016: Filed for AOS and EAD/AP (We delayed a bit-- no big rush, enjoying the USCIS break)

23 Apr 2016: Wedding! Finally! :luv:

27 Apr 2016: Electronic NOA1 for all 3 :dancing:
29 Apr 2016: NOA1 Hardcopy for all 3
29 Jul 2016: Online service request for late EAD (Day 104)
29 Jul 2016: EAD/AP Approved ~3 hours after online service request
04 Aug 2016: RFE for Green Card (requested medicals/ vaccination record. They already have it). :ranting:
05 Aug 2016: EAD/AP Combo Card arrived! (Day 111)
08 Aug 2016: Congressional constituent request to get guidance on the RFE. Hoping they see they have the form and approve!

K-1 Visa Timeline:

PLEASE NOTE. This timeline was during the period of time when TSC was working on I-129fs and had a huge backlog. The average processing time was 210+ days. This is in no way predictive of your own timeline if you filed during or after April 2015, unless CSC develops a backlog. A backlog is anything above the 5-month goal time listed on USCIS's site

14 Feb 2015: Mailed I-129f to Dallas Lockbox. (L) (Most expensive Valentine's card I've ever sent!)

17 Feb 2015: NOA1 "Received Date"
19 Feb 2015: NOA1 Notice Date
08 Aug 2015: NOA2 email! :luv: (173 days from NOA1)

17 Aug 2015: Sent to NVC

?? Aug 2015: Arrived at NVC

25 Aug 2015: NVC Case # Assigned

31 Aug 2015: Left NVC for Consulate in San Jose

09 Sep 2015: Consulate received :dancing: (32 days from NOA2)

11 Sep 2015: Packet 3 emailed from embassy to me, the petitioner (34 days from NOA2).

18 Sep 2015: Medicals complete

21 Sep 2015: Packet 3 complete, my boss puts a temporary moratorium on all time off due to work emergency :clock:

02 Oct 2015: Work emergency clears up, interview scheduled (soonest available was 5 business days away--Columbus Day was in there)

13 Oct 2015: Interview

13 Oct 2015: VISA APPROVED :thumbs: (236 days from NOA1)

19 Oct 2015: Visa-in-hand

24 Oct 2015: POE !

15 Dec 2015: Fiance's mother's B-2 visa interview: APPROVED! So happy she will be at the wedding! :thumbs:

I think the same. Be patient, you will receive your letter by then.

Thanks for the explanation, but.. if i do not get the extension letter before my GC expires, that means that i can't leave the country? I fly every week for work.

 

When did you guys receive the text/email from USCIS accepting your case?

Well it means I'd be wary of travelling without your NOA in hand.  You can travel but you'll be risking the possibility of arriving in front of a customs agent who doesn't understand the process or what it means.  

 

I didn't file a G-1145 so the only thing I can say about my case is that the check was cashed.

 

If you have your USCIS number, call them about your concerns and see about scheduling an appointment at your local USCIS office.  They can put the stamp in your passport that will show your green card has been extended for an additional year.

I think I will be ok, my GC expires in December and my case is already accepted, I hope to receive the letter before of that.

Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening to everyone. 

 

So I am getting the packet together and I have just realized that I am going to get rejected! My Husband and I have a 22 month old daughter that was born with a congenital heart disease and we have spent the last 11 months of her life in the hospital. I had to quit my job back in 2016 and we have been living off my husband small salary. We don't have tons on pictures and our bank statement is always running just short of being negative.  I am not on any of the bills because he took care of that while I took care of daughter. 

 

I remember how much I had the first time i send in paperwork and how I have some much evidence this time we are just praying an sending what we have. 

 

I am sorry I just needed to vent !!!!  Back to work I go.....

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I knew no other way than this, where 'I' does not exist, nor 'you'. So close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

It is going to be okay. I sometimes use this forum to vent. That is why we are all here, to help each other. Is your daughter okay? I would attach a letter explaining that. Also, do you have a rental lease together or could you have family and hospital staff write a letter about you two as a couple? Do you have car insurance together or life insurance with each other as the beneficiaries?

Hi

Hello everyone,

 

So i sent my I751 last Sept 7. My checked is still not cashed yet but they returned the photos I compiled in the packet with this letter saying.

 

” We are returning an item/s you sent in support of your application/petition, as it is a format we cannot place in your file folder for review by an officer during the adjucation process.”

 

should I be worried about this.? Those are just photos I glued on a letter sized bond paper and put in folder/binder with clear sleeves. 

 

I am so nervous right now!
