I-751 June 2019 Filers

We don't know what it means yet.  It appears to suggest that anyone who doesn't already have a green card or visa, would not get one.  If their status expires they would have to leave the country or become illegal. Those who are in the middle of the process would be in limbo, because it's not clear how they would be impacted.  I think we just have to wait for the executive order to be issued and then wait to determine how the order will be implemented. 

 

The good news is that everyone here is an expert at "waiting"! Lol! 😉

Does this mean that we (the people in the middle of the ROC process) are included in this?

I don't think it's applicable to ROC filers, but let's not conclude, until the Order itself is published. From my understanding, green cards are still being issued pending the start date of the Order.

No one really knows what Trump means by the things he's said about the executive order so far.  And it's entirely possible that what he says may not be what ends up being implemented based on the executive order.  I think some of our questions will have to be figured out by the USCIS after the order is signed, because the executive order certainly won't be able to clarify every single situation. 

 

This is what I know for sure...My husband submitted his I-751 last June.  On Monday, 4/20/20, the same day Trump sent his tweet, the case tracker app said that a new green card had been ordered for him.  On Tuesday, well after the tweet, the case tracker app said that his I-751 had been approved.   This could mean a number of things...

 

One thing I read said that Trump wanted to stop issuing green cards.  Does that mean stop processing new applications for green cards or does it mean any and all green cards?  As in, will they stop physically printing green cards for everyone regardless of where they are in the process?  Does it mean that pending I-751's will be processed?  Or just that my husband was able to sneak through before the actual executive order was signed and all other pending I-751's will sit in limbo?   We just don't know yet. I'm not even positive that he will even receive a new green card, until it's actually in his hand.  

 

I would say the best thing to do is to continue everything based on the rules as we know them as this very moment.  If you're in the middle of the process continue with your plans as if there was no executive order.  And even after it's signed, still continue with your process.  The only way to know for sure is when an application is firmly denied.  All the speculation in the various news reports and all of the opinions from insiders are just guess work at this point.   The only thing we can control is how we react to all of this speculation and opinion.  

 

I will definitely post any updates on our progress here, if that helps anyone.  Keeping  you all in my thoughts. Stay healthy and positive!

Thank you for sharing your opinion and I completely agree with you. 

My personal opinion is that we shouldn't be affected because his reasoning behind this executive order is more economic and save the jobs for Americans which would not help his intention if he was to stop our process because we ARE ALLOWED TO WORK. 

#StayPositive 😁✌ 

I'm getting anxious:)) checking the website every day...as there seems to be movement for July filers but not Vermont 😕

[SariEva 17]

Yes, I think some July filers were approved even before my husband.  It does matter which office is handling your case, so that could be why.  They don't always go exactly in order, I've noticed.  I haven't checked the August filers yet.  I think I'll have a look there. 

 

 

[SariEva 17]

The executive order was signed and it DOES NOT appear to affect those removing conditions or anyone currently in the US.  This looks like good news for us, but I think there are still a lot of questions for others.  Wishing everyone a little bit of luck.

Today, 4/21/20, the "we ordered a new card" message was replaced with a "I-751 Case was approved" message on the case tracker app.  It also says they've sent the approval notice and if we don't receive it by May 6, to go to uscis.gov/e-request.  No "card has been mailed" message.

 

 

Update:  Case tracker says the new card was mailed today, 4/23/20. So...3 days from card ordered to card mailed.  I've read on here it usually takes about 7-10 days to mail the card, so that was quick!  

 

Has anyone else had any news?

Nothing from me yet, despite our timelines being very similar. I adjusted from VWP, not a K-1, so I expect I'll have to interview again. Other I-751 Cases around my number still seem to be stuck on the 'fingerprint received' status in Nebraska (LIN).

 

🤷‍♂️

[SariEva 17]

I don't recall ever getting the "fingerprint received"status, after he did the biometrics.   Where do you look at the cases around your number?  Is in the USCIS case tracker app?

Hi everyone!!! I hope everyone is staying safe during these difficult times. I have GREAT news, just checked the status of our case online and omg, we were approved 2 days ago! I had no idea (no text or email alert)!!! This is sooner than expected as our original prediction based on their online timeline was around December 2020 lol. They are actively working on cases so hopefully this gives some hope to you all who are still waiting! Good luck! 

 

Waiting for the official notice in the mail and we'll see what steps are next.

Thank you! I honestly have no idea how to check that. I looked up the filing address and we sent our application to Texas I think? The nearest office to us was Newark, NJ for the longest time, but we then moved to NY state a couple months ago and changed our address, not sure if that affected anything?
