Here is update to my case.

 

Filed e-request on Feb 11 for nondelivery of official NOA

Called USCIS on  Feb 19 for updates

Reply from e-request on Feb22 -Please allow 30 days from the date of this correspondence for the notice to be sent.

Frustrated!!!!!!

Called USCIS again Feb22 and ask about the status for which USCIS officer responded that official notice has been sent out to my mailing address on Feb 21.

 

If I don't get it by next week, I will keep on buzzing them!!!!!

I haven't yet got any response from my e-request.. I think if the officer has said that the receipt notice has been mailed on 21st feb, then  it's true...wait for few days and you will  get it I believe

We've had a couple of people here on VJ recently having their I-751 package rejected due to submitting early.  

Yep. I knew it had to be 90 days prior to GC expiration, but like TheKingmaker said, I got a little too excited and sent it thinking it would arrive the day of the window. I should have waited to send it on the day the window actually opened

Ahh I see. Your issue was getting a little too excited. Happens to the best of us.

Yeah, this has been a big lesson learned.

Hey don't worry. I think you will get it within a few days from the date of the e-mail. That has been my case anyways.

My case was received at the Arizona Lockbox location on Jan 10th, but I hadn't received a NOA yet, so I called on February 6th. They started a case for me, and today (Feb 15) I finally received an email that they're going to "resend" the NOA. Obviously they didn't send it the first time. But they say they did and now they are "resending" it. The bright side is that the email gave me my Receipt number, which I did not have to look my case up online due to never having received a receipt!

JUST GOT MY NOA IN THE MAIL!

Sequence of events:

Jan 8th - Mail in application

Jan 10th - Arizona receives my application

February 6th - I still had nothing in the mail, no acknowledgement, so I called USCIS. They put in a case to resend the notice.

February 15 - Received email that they would resend my NOA (I don't believe they actually mailed it the first time)

February 23rd - Received the NOA in the mail

March 23rd - my green card expires

 

My NOA says it's an 18 month extension, so I guess they're not messing around with 12 month ones anymore. I'll probably be applying for citizenship before I heard back on this.

Your quite lucky they let you keep the 2yr GC! Once you get your NOA1 letter, you will get the 18 month extension since you also have your 2yr GC

They are not supposed to take your green card from you. My coworker had this happen to him at the Boise USCIS office, then he went to Canada, and when he came back the US border officers were shocked and appalled that anyone in a USCIS office would take his green card. The rules are clear - once you're in this part of the process, your new "green card" is your expired green card + your NOA. Now I'm kind of too afraid to go to the USCIS office in Boise to get the infopass because they don't seem to understand that.

Congrats on getting your NOA1! What is the service center for your case (indicated by the first 3 characters of your receipt #) ?

My earlier post was in the context of I-551 passport stamp. Either of the following can be used as proof of LPR status (for overseas travel, work authorization, DL renewal):

• expired 2 yr conditional GC  + NOA1 (extension) letter   OR
• I-551 stamp on passport

A lot of Dec/Jan Filers (including myself) have not received their NOA1 letters and had to get the I-551 stamp for proof of LPR status.  In most cases, when USCIS provided the I-551 stamp, they took away their 2yr conditional GC. Similar to what happened to your coworker.

Seems to be Nebraska based on a brief googling

LIN = Nebraska

 

Your case gives me some hope. I am also waiting for my NOA1 letter from Nebraska. I created the e-request to resent notice on 02/14. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Informed Delivery shows I have a letter from USCIS, which I’m guessing is the biometrics appointment letter.  Once I get that done and over with, I can breathe easy til next January when I submit the N400.

 

My husband woke me up (at 2:30am) the other night bc he found an article in the local paper that a USCIS Naturalization ceremony was being held this month literally right next door to where we live.  Said a small amount of people will take the oath (approx 50).  HE was excited bc he thinks I’ll have it approved and an oath ceremony before November 2020 so we can vote together.  He is mistaken, I think, but I’ll let him stay excited for now.

Just a quick question guys, I'm just wondering for biometrics, would it be for husband and wife or just the petitioner?
