hey guys, I have an info pass appointment next week and I was wondering, do I need any proof for needing to travel home etc? Im gonna take my passport, extension letter and my expired green card. I haven't booked a flight yet as I wanted to wait until I get the stamp. My I-751 extension expired 20 days ago.

Hi everybody,

 

I am new here. Did apply in the month of Jan., 2018. Received an extension letter for eighteen months, which expired in August hence got an extension stamp on the passport which expires in March 2020. 

 

So, due to some goof up at USCIS, they reopened our case after I pointed it out to them. They had already sent our cheque back stating that my ROC request was not valid because according to them my marriage was already two years old when I entered US, which meant that they wanted to correct their mistake by now requesting me to fill form I-90 instead! This was based on wrong info as my marriage was not two years old when I entered the US. Anyhow, to cut the long story short, in trying to correct a mistake that wasn't there in the first place, they've basically taken over 20 months to give me an answer. Sometimes, I wonder why did I even bother to correct them!

 

Now when I wrote to them asking why is my case out of normal proceeding time, I got a letter saying that "security check is pending". I am not sure as to what this means. If anyone could throw a light on this, please?

 

Thank you.

I did an online service request and received the same answer, pending security checks. I think it’s just a generic response meaning they don’t really know what’s going on lol

 Hi,

 

I had to travel internationally in the months of July and August, so I called the Uscis and spoke to level 2 officer and she made an info pass request on my behalf. I had already booked my tickets and since I wasn't going to be in the country to get my passport stamped in July, they stamped my passport in June itself. I did have to carry the tickets for proof, by the way. But I think this was becuase I was requesting a stamp in June instead of July as the norm is. So, in your since the extension has already expired, I don't think they'd require you to submit any proofs.

I would call and request an InfoPass appointment. Is your extension letter ready to record as well? You would need a 551 stamp on your passport (or another stamp if your stamp is going to expire. 

 

BTW your timeline isn't updated.... 

@bigjailerman  Thanks for recommending me to get 551 stamp.. I went to my local field office and got the stamp on my passport, in less than two weeks receipts will get expired and waiting for interview date from past two week...

Also, was anyone asked to surrender their expired conditional card to the USCIS? I was asked to mail it back. Wondering if this is something new they've started doing. I didn't think this was routine earlier. Thanks.

My dependent son never received his NOA1 or am extension letter so we had to go to local office to get a 551 stamp put into his passport. The took his expired card that day. My wife was never asked to return hers, but we are trying a Biometrics walk in tomorrow so we will report back if they are asking for it back as well.

My case was approved, however, the Post office decided to return my Green card because of an issue with my address.  I went to the Post office to know the problem with my address because this is first time having such an issue. I received all my USCIS  mails without any issues. The Post office staff look in the computer and she told me she doesn't know why the delivery guy returned my Green card because they have the right address. USCIS received my green card on July 22 and i made a service request and i was told they will send it back. Its been 44 days and i still didn't received it. Did anyone has a similar experience?
