I-751 March 2019 Filers

[hjha 4]

Sent the package on Saturday 16, 2019 and it was delivered on Thursday 21, 2019.  Received the NOA letter on Friday 29th. 

 

Does anyone know how long it takes to get the biometric letter?

I’m wondering that too...NOA dated March 11, still no biometric notice yet.

Hello everyone ... wasn't seeing my case show up on https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do.

Found this information at the end of the step by step guide:  https://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide/

Note on Case #'s: The case number on the NOA1 is not linked to the USCIS case update site - you have to wait for the case number that comes with the biometrics letter.

That's weird. the case number on my NOA1 letter works on the USCIS case update link. No biometric letter yet...

Hey Mrath5 ,

 

my case has MSC too, what does it mean? 

 

Can we assume we are going to interview anytime soon? 

 

I sent my docs march 13th, recieved my extention letter and bio two days ago. 

 

I do not have any clue why I do not have WAC ? 

It just means that’s where our cases went for processing. I believe the centers are so backlogged that the cases are getting spread out to centers that normally do not process certain types of applications. 

 

I think it will be a while before any of us march filers get an interview if an interview is needed. I think it will probably take upwards to a year before we see much progress.

Youre  probabley right, My thing is I recieved my bio letter in 2 weeks after sendig out my docs and my extention letter as well, from what I gathered normally they will take more time than two weeks. Maybe finally they are putting some orther to it dunno.

 

just hope we wont be like waiting for the whole process for almost two years.

My husband got his last week also. I thought that the bio letter came really quick compared to others who filed last year. I hope you are right and it does not take long! That would be great

Yes,

 

I sent out my doc on 13th with priority mail to arizona, they recieved it by 14th, 

got my bio letter two three days ago for April 10th. 

The same day got my extention letter.

 

my center is MSC.

There was no biometrics appt with my NOA1, so I'm hoping they don't need one. If they do, we'll just deal with it when the request comes.

 

"If we need biometrics from you, we will send you a SEPARATE appointment notice with a specific date, time and place for you to go ..."

 

You can look up the average time for processing at the various centers here: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

 

For i-751 for LIN, it's showing 15.5 - 23 months (at the upper limit, that seems to be the longest all the service centers). Some of us will undoubtedly be able to apply for citizenship before we get our i-751s approved. That's what a friend of ours did.

regarding check -- you just write one check for the full amount (including biometric fee), right?

Hello!  We sent our paperwork off yesterday.  Did everyone send their marriage certificate?  I read that you didn’t have to send items that were already sent with AOS so I did not include that.  

Also, did everyone send in affidavits?  We did not and no I’m worried about that. 😬. 

We did sent the marriage certificate we see a lot of people did it, with didn’t sent affidavit either cause we have a lot of evidence

Hey. I asked this question early in this group and some people were nice enough to help me. Yes it’s just one check for the full amount. In like 3 days after my package was delivered  I saw in my bank account that the check was cashed and actually on the same day I received my uscis letter.
