I did not send a photo album, I just sent a bunch of pictures. I'm not sure if that could have delayed the process. On the website https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/  it still says that my fingerprint has been received, so they haven't updated that. I did submitted a service request about 3 weeks prior to receiving the letter that said that my biometrics were going to be reused. I'm not sure if that made them move quicker.

Hi Lolita, 

Thank you for your reply, I actually get to talk with the USCIS and checkec on my status, sometimes they dont need to schedule you for a biometrics appointment since they can use that data, they recognize now that I never get a letter for my bio-metrics appointment, I have been told I should get my appointment in 60 days, but everything is going fine...now I'm eligible to apply for Citizenship.

I'm looking to see what I need to provide the USCIS as per the supporting documentation.

Hi All,

 

We got a status update online last week for our i-751 case which is being processed at SRC.

 

"Fingerprint Review Was Completed", although we never received a bio-metric notice/appointment. Does that mean they re-used the old fingerprints from i-485?

Looks like Nebraska Service Center started scheduling August 2018 Fillers (CSC transferred to LIN)  for biometrics and adjudicating May and June Fillers.

 

I guess we'll have some updates in about 2-3 months, hopefully even faster.

We actually received a letter yesterday in the mail from Texas Service Center stating that they are able to re-use previous fingerprints and no need for biometrics appointment.

I also received a notification about the fingerprints some weeks ago.

It said:

Great! Same here, except for it states May 25th for us. Hopefully we can update each other since our cases seem to be processing closely together. 

 

Good luck!

Which number do you dial to actually have a person talk to you at USCIS? Every time I tried for the past several months, it referred to go to website and use chat instead. 

We have updated our address on the website in January and I worry what if they have not updated it somehow and thats why we are not getting fingerprints notifications. Has anyone who updated address on the site had any experience of finding out that it was not updated in the USCIS system?

 

 

thank you

When sending a request for address change, USCIS will send back confirmation via mail to that new address, that's how you would know that they know. If you need to call I dont know of any number but the customer service one (50 mins before getting through someone though so be patient) 1 (800) 375-5283

Hi Guys, 

I am currently with an expired CG and have an extension letter and Global Entry. I will travel to Guam and from there to South Korea, then back to the US. I will be 3 months out of home. In my way back I will enter through Minneapolis, where I have 2h51m to change flights. 

 

1. Is everybody with extension letter sent to second screening? 

 

2. Will I be sent to second screening even though I have Global Entry?

 

3. Do I need to inform USCIS that I will be out of home for 3 months, in case they want to schedule an interview? (Biometrics were reused) How do I do it?

I went to London in April and came back through Chicago with extension letter and expired GC. Immigration officer took both docs. Looked up my A number in his computer to confirm everything was still ok and stamped my passport. The whole thing took 2 minutes and I was on my way. Easiest experience by far for me coming back into the US.

 

I did have a slight issue in the UK thought. I needed to get a Visa to go there and you have to show the officer both the visa and US green card because I needed to show proof of my legal status in US. He looked at the extension letter for a while (dont think he has ever seen one before). Literally read every line of it before stamping my passport. Took him 10 minutes. He was nice though. We talked about how his parents and family were born in my native country and he was the first in his family to be born in the UK.

 

Last I was in London was 2017 and my GC was still valid. Did not take nearly as long that time round.

226 days with no updates since check was cashed

I want to share my experience going through immigration with the expired GC and the extension letter and Global Entry.

The Global Entry machine read my GC but didn't print the receipt. Instead, a message appeared in the screen telling me to see an officer. I waited in the line and when the officer called me I said right away that I didn't have a receipt because my GC was expired and that I had an extension letter. He checked all my documents and stamped my passport with the "admitted" stamp and wrote "LPR" and my A number on the stamp and that was it. No second screening, thankfully. That was entering Guam, which is a US territory. Let's see how it will be going back to the continental US.

On a side note, I was surprised to see CBP officers questioning people during the boarding of an international flight leaving the US. I guess they are looking everywhere now.
