I don't think everyone wants to get their passport stamped.  But if we have an international trip scheduled and if it looks like the NOA does not come in time then it's loss of airline ticket and a ruined trip.

Gotcha! Didnt think about that.

Could be a good thing if they ever get processing back on track to a reasonable timeline.  Rule before was everyone had to get an interview.  The rule before the old rule was that not everyone had to have an interview.    

Ah!  I see.  Thanks for clarifying.

 

 I assume as I will be doing N400 in 9 months time that it's a moot point anyway.  As I will just have a Naturalisation interview instead?

I’m coming up at 30 days tomorrow since they received my case. Got my case number thru a text message already, but is there a time frame before I should call in and ask when my extension letter will be sent?

wouldn't hurt to call and see what they've got to say. I have read vjers experiences that varied from a couple of days to over a month, you are definitely still in that time frame. Also when you received your text it should have said to contact them when you are past a certain date and havent received a letter yet.

Yes, when you look up your case online it says when you can contact them if you haven’t received it.

We received NOA 1/18 month extension letter in mail today. Really surprised how quick it was as the notice date is 12/28/18.

The notice says fees waived, however, they did cashed the check that was sent. Has anyone else have same happened to them?

Surprisingly December filers are getting their noa1 and November even October filers haven’t got their noa1

It’s because of the new rules per December 10

I'd like to hear more about that.

[Z@f 6]

Yea but isn’t frustrating for those who files earlier like in October and November are still waiting for noa1 and most of December filers are getting their noa1 

[Z@f 6]

Those who filed earlier should get noa1 first

Why does everyone want to get their passport stamped? If you want to travel you just need your expired greencard accompanied by your  I-797 NOA.

USCIS told me I have to have it stamped otherwise I lose status. It’s compulsory I guess.

Thank you for clarifying that. I am looking to go to Germany around April. Hence i already have my NOA 1 i do not need a stamp if i go by what is written on the NOA. I was just wondering why not trying to be rude
