I-751 Filers (September 2018)

[Izor 79]

So I don't think this day would come so soon but I now have both my parents in the hospital. I will most likely have to travel home to Sweden, do I use the name in my passport(maiden name) for the ticket there and back? Green card is in my married name obviously. I'll bring my marriage license and green card obviously. 

 

And the second scenario, 

I might change my passport while I'm in Sweden, to get my new last name on there. Should I book a one way ticket there and book a return ticket home in my new name while I'm in Sweden?

I used to be a flight attendant. You have to use name that is in your passport. Your passport and boarding ticket need to be in a same name.

Hey Izor, 

 

don’t forget the most important form, your extension letter to be able to come back. When you leave, you have yo answer to swedish immigration laws, which shoukd be easy for you since you are a citizen ( they don’t need you to have a return ticket aince you are going home dor indeterminate amount of time) 

on the way back, just have the extension letter as well as you old and new passport ( just in case and if you end up getting a new passport in Sweden) and bear in mind that with your green card, you can be out of the country for no more than 6 months or 1 year to keep your status ( i think they have exceptions that you may qualify for if you need to stay longer than 6months and dt want to buy a ticket)

Nebraska (LIN) Service Center here.  We've filed for I-751 since September 2018 and still have not received any biometrics letter but only the 18 months extension letter.

Yep, one person got a letter saying that he didn’t need to do biometrics. But that’s it.

evrryone else is waiting.

So...

 

I have a expired GC and the 18months extension letter probably like everyone here by now. Sadly I lost my wallet (GC included today).

 

Should I take the same steps to request a new one the same way if my GC was valid or the right way is wait for the new card? Anyway already been in this situation?

What website to check the receipt status?

You should probably get an infopass to get a stamp in your passport, and USCIS will most likely recommend that you file for I-90 (Application to Replace a Permanent Residence Card) to make yourself legally in compliance.

Form I-90 though has been taking 6 months at a minimum to be processed, so you might very well get your new card as a result of I-751 by then.

 

Nonetheless, you have to get a proof of your status, otherwise you may find yourself needing it (like a new job or whatever it may be) and that you have to scramble to get a stamp.  Infopass appointments are difficult to get in most places, but it all depends on where you live.

Thanks for the reply

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your wallet with your GC in it. I hope you find it or someone will return it. But all is not lost, these things happen. I am almost sure they will not re-issue an expired card. Hopefully, you still have your passport and can have it stamped at your nearest USCIS office.

I’ve been getting these on a regular basis until the end of 2018, then they simply stopped.

Update: well, such as it is. No biometrics letter has been forthcoming and my case is still listed as “fingerprint fee received” on the myUSCIS site. Given the timeline for processing cases, the government shutdown and USCIS’  lackadaisical approach to these things, this all seems normal and no cause for concern.

 

On the plus side, only 7 months until I can fill my N-400.
