Cool! Good luck and make sure you comb through it before you ship! Are you planning to scan it for record keeping before you send?

I never thought of scanning. I made copies of everything though. It would be hard scanning as I do not have a scanner at home. My package is just over 3 inch thick. One more week. 

 

I am cannot wait for this process to be over and I didn't even file yet. :)

Hi All,

 

Good luck to all those who filed. My 90 day window opens on Oct 25th and I'm almost ready to send the documents on Oct 26th. I have a silly question regarding the documentation process. I'm sending few photos with friends & family over the years. Do you recommend sending them on actual photo paper or is it ok if I just copy them to word and take a color print. The quality is not that bad. The reason for this I don't want to spend a bomb on printing actual photos :)

I made a Word document and color printed the pictures on regular paper. The quality is surprisingly good.

I just printed our pictures using regular white bond paper... you don’t need to use photo papers.. The important thing is that your faces are clearly shown upon printing.. because to me, I-751 is more about the actual content as evidences... so presentation is not necessarily a must.. unlike AOS when you have that need to try and impress the IOs... it’s also cheaper to just print using regular white bond paper than using photo paper. Good luck!

Just got a text from USCIS saying that they received my case with receipt LIN19XXXXXX. A little at ease though my green card is already expired. Good thing our hr at work is so understanding. I was thinking of getting an infopass to have a stamp on my passport but there's no available appointment at my local sc. So, I might just wait for the I-797. Happy waiting everyone!

I sent out my application 10/01 to Texas. They received it 10/03 (as per tracking#). Got the text on 10/09. I haven't received my NOA letter yet, but I called USCIS 10/18 and the lady told me that they had sent the letter 10/05. I'm going nuts here waiting for that letter, because I sent the application a couple of weeks before the GC expiration (totally my fault). Why is that letter taking that long, though? Almost 20 days to get here?

Can you get an infopass before getting the NOA letter? I just checked and there are no appointments available in GA, but I'll keep checking.

I'm not sure. I think it depends on the local service center. My hr understood that there will be an extension letter coming for my green card to be extended. And my local service center has no appointment available also.

I hear your frustration. Who knows if that letter was really at the post office on the date they said they sent it. 😂
