Received I-797 NOA for my wife but not her 13 year old daughter

[single4now 8]

I sent the I-751 package in October 2018. Received the NOA a month later. However the I-797 has only my wife's name. We still haven't received the biometrics appt. When I called USCIS, the agent said that he sees my Wife and Daughter on the application. They also cashed the application and 2 bio metric fee in October. The receipt number is LINXXXXXXX, so I am assuming that's Nebraska Service Center that's handling the adjustment of status. Is anyone in the same situation as my Wife's application or should I call and speak to a Tier 2. We are travelling out of the country in April and was wondering if the airlines will give us a hard time, when trying to come back. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

You need a stamp in the passport for the child otherwise he/she won’t be let in the country. 

 

You can can call and talk to a tier two and get the child’s case number. The child is a I-751A and have his own case number. You can also request for them to send an extension letter for the child that way.

Thanks Georgia. Did your K2 receive a NOA1/Extension letter as well? Also any reason why you received the ROC before the 2 year period after the green card?

No mine did not get it yet. 

I have not received the approval of ROC as I have only filed 2 months ago.

I called this afternoon and was put thru to a tier 2, who said that he will have an inquiry opened and we should get a letter in regards to the K2. If we don't get it by the end of this month, then wanted me to call back so I could make an apt at the local office for a stamp on my daughter's passport. All in all the tier 2 agent as well as the initial agent were very professional and wasn't dismissive as the previous loser I got 1 month ago.

This is very good info, thank you. We are in the same boat. My wife received her Noa1 and 18 month letter but nothing for her (our) son. We included his  biometric fee and cc was charged. He received his GC the same day as a K2. I guess we will call Monday. We filed 2/13/19.

since my last post, I didn't receive the notification for our minor. I called many times and each time they opened a case and the reply was we have looked at your case and re mailed you the receipt, but I never received it after waiting for their standard 14 business days. I asked them about the address and they confirmed it is the correct address. I have a receipt number but not the I-797 form for my daughter. They asked me to go online to make an info pass appt but there aren't any appointments available. I was told to do a walk in, which looks like I may have to. We are traveling in 30 days.

That’s pretty normal. 

 

Go get a stamp in her passport.

That is what we just did. Frustrating to be sure. We visited the local Philadelphia office and tuner process to less than 20 minutes. The expired green card was taken as well.

I would suggest getting the passport stamp in the passport. Unless USCIS has improved it in the last couple of years. My wife's (K!) temporary AOS extension letter was at least official- looking, on office letterhead. The letter for may stepson (K2) came some time later, like an afterthought. It certainly looked like as afterthought.It as on a piece of paper, no even letterhead. It had the date, K2 name name and A# and a brief typed statement that this piece of paper was his AOS extension letter. A scribbled illegible initial and a hastily stamped name below it. I was certainly glad we never had to use it.
