My NOA1 came with an 18 months extension. Is this normal?

Wow, that's great! So fast! 

I think it's normal-my friend received 18 months extension too.

 

When did you send I-751?

TY!

Did you know, guys ??  " On Sept. 10, USCIS changed the filing location for Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. This form was previously filed at the California and Vermont Service Centers. Now, petitioners must send Form I-751 to a USCIS Lockbox facility. "    

 

So, what is that means ? And where should I send mine if I'm in IL ?

Oh,I see, it was in 2018.

 

So the correct address is  : ? 

For FedEx, UPS, and DHL deliveries:

USCIS
Attn: I-751
1820 E. Skyharbor Circle S
Suite 100
Phoenix, AZ 85034

There are two lockbox addresses (lockbox is basically a mailroom to digital file address).

I WAS checking my I-751 which I filled with a lawyer help , and I found out mistakes. Also, I am not sure if I need fill out 2 or something else on this page ? 

3.a. I filled out my old address. 

 

Thank you.

Thank you. 

You need to fill out all of section 1 (your name and A#) for the additional information page.  I think this is in case that page gets separated from the rest during photocopying or when they're disassembling/rearranging the packet.

 

Everything else looks fine as long as you've included your old address for section 3.

Thank you,but now I'm confused even more. 11 - 1.a.1.b for additional names, I never use additional names. Did you fill yours 11  - 1.a.1.b , even if you didn't use other names?

If you mean 1a-1c and 2, that's not referring to the additional names question.  The heading says Your full name, not other names.  That's what question 1 and 2 are doing - just documenting your name and A# so they can cross-reference it to the rest of your packet in case the additional info sheets get separated.  It's not asking you for additional names.  That's filled out in the earlier sections (I think page 1 or 2, off the top of my head, there are several lines for other names/aliases)

Looks like these parts 1 and 2 -are not active, I can't add any information to it.  Was you able to fill it out on computer?

Not sure why the PDF isn't letting you type in those fields - if worse comes to worst, you can always just fill it in in pen after you print.

Well as of a few minutes ago the package is officially in the mail and on its way to the Dallas PO box!  We paid for informed delivery, which came to $13 - I always forget how expensive this entire process is when you take into account paper and ink, photocopying, envelopes, postage, time off work for biometrics and interview...

 

It's honestly just a relief that it's out of our hands now, we've done all we can and now we just have to wait.  

 

Now to just obsessively check the tracking number!

I'm not even gonna be bothered this time. I have a job and kids to stress about.  USCIS  will not have a part of me this time.

Wow my husband's GC also expires 12/14 and it looks like we had our interviews on the same day, 12/14/2017, so we're literally on an identical timeline!  Your evidence looks great, good luck

Just to make sure you're calculating the window correctly: Look at the day the GC expires and subtract 90 days, that's when the window opens.  So if the GC expires January 7, 2020, the window should open on October 8, 2019.  You can also use this calculator here: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/uscis-early-filing-calculator

 

Don't apply before the window opens, as they might reject your submission and you'll have to resend it.  Everything should be dated for the day on/after the window opens, even if you fill it out before the window officially opens.  For example, my husband's GC expired 12/14/2019, so our window opened 9/15/2019 (yesterday).  We've been preparing for about a month but when we signed and dated things like I-751 and the cover letter, we dated everything 9/15/2019.  We mailed everything today (yesterday was a Sunday and we were using USPS so no post on Sundays!)  We thought about mailing everything on the 14th (Saturday) but decided not to risk having it sent back. 

 

Hope this helps!
