That's great that you let them know.

 

There's a reason extension letters are 48 months (4 years) now. The wait times are aweful. On the other hand, @Crazy Cat wife's I-751 took 44 months and @mindthegap is still waiting since 2015. Though those are rare cases...

 

Well technically, I've been waiting since summer 2021, as that was the most recent fiing. One RFIE in april of 2022 for divorce paperwork that was (very clearly and prominently) contained in the filing. 

 

The 2015 one (the original joint filing) took two years. The 2017 (first refile) one took four years. This one? Who knows. Will probably have a base on Mars before it is concluded. 

CR1 / DCF (London): 2012 / 2013 (4 months from I-130 petition to visa in hand)

I-751 #1- April 2015 [Denied]

 

April 2015 : I-751 Joint filing package sent fedex next day 09:00am from UK ($lots - thanks). 
Jan 2017: Notification that an interview has been scheduled at a local office. Bizarrely still no RFE... 
Jan 2017: 2hr wait, then interview terminated before it began, due to moving my ID to another state 2 wks prior. New interview 'in a few months...maybe.'   Informed them that divorce proceedings are underway, but not finalised at this time. 
March 2017: An Interview was scheduled - marked as no-show as they didn't actually send out a notification of interview. FML 
April  2017: Filed an official complaint with the ombudsman, and have requested Senator & Congressman assistance
August 2017: Interview - switched to a (finalised) divorce waiver. Told that decision will be made that afternoon, but no problems foreseen with my case. 
October 2017: Letter of Denial received - reason given as 'I-751 petition was not properly filed'. Discovered ex-spouse made false allegations to USCIS in 2015. No opportunity given to review & refute allegations  - contrary to USCIS policy.

I-751 #2 - Oct 2017 - Mar 2021[Denied] 

 

October 2017: Within 72hrs of receiving denial notice, a new waiver I-751, divorce decree & $680 cheque, sent to Vermont via FedEx overnight 9am priority.  
Dec 2019: Filed FOIA request for full A# file
Feb 2020: FOIA request completed - entire A# file received as a .PDF; 197 pages fully redacted, and 80 partially redacted. Don't waste your time!
March 2021: I-751 #2 denied for lack of evidence. No RFE, no interview, and evidence in previous I-751 not reviewed - contrary to policy. Huge errors in adjudication.

N-400 - Feb 2018 - Apr 2021 [Denied]

 

February 2018: N-400 filed online.  $725 paid to the USCIS paperwork wastage fund

February  2019: Interview - cancelled after a four hour wait due to 'missing paperwork' on their end. Promised Expedited reschedule.

March 2021: Interview letter received, strangely dated after I-751 denial. No I-751 interview conducted. N-400 interview and test passed, given 'cannot make a decision at this time' paper due to the ongoing I-751 nightmare...

April 2021: N-400 denial received citing recent I-751 denial as basis for ineligibility, even though it should have been a combo interview 🤯

I AM JACK'S COMPLETE LACK OF SURPRISE

Service Motion - March 2021 [Sent via FedEx & COMPLETELY IGNORED by USCIS]

 

March 2021: Service Motion request sent overnight addressed direectly to field office director, requesting urgent review and re-opening, based on errors in adjudication - citing USCIS policy, AFM and memorandums as basis for errors. This was completely ignored by USCIS.

 I-751 #3 - June 2021 - Jan 2024 [Denied]

 

IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY

June 2021: I-751 #3 (30+lbs/5000 pages of paperwork) & another $680 sent to USCIS via FedEx ($300+..thanks) .... 

June 2021: Receipt issued, card charged, biometrics waived, infopass scheduled for I-551 stamp number ten.....

Feb 2022: RFIE (no, not an RFE, a Request For Initial Evidence) received, for copies of the divorce paperwork that they already have 😑

July 2022: Infopass for I-551 stamp number eleven.....

August 2023: Infopass for I-551 stamp number twelve....

January 2024: Denial received, ignoring the overwhelming majority of the filing, abundance of evidence, and refutation of a provably false allegation. The denial also contradicts itself in multiple places, as if it was written by someone with an IQ <50.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

2024: FML. Seriously. I'm done.

Any update? YSC has been pumping them out like the Duggars.

In the last 24-48 hours, they approved 114 cases for 751.  It looks like the majority were 2021, so I hope you are closer each time!

Nothing for me yet- I've seen quite a few around my number- some before, some after. Starting to think I'm at the bottom of the pile 🤣

Maybe next week!

My wife filed her i751 in August 2021 and has a NOA (i-797) 48-month extension letter. It is at the YSC service center.


She is going to visit (and help care for) her elderly mother for a few months (international travel). I cannot go with her because of work requirements (high school teacher here).


We had an interview for AOS. So, I am hoping the ROC interview will be waived.

 

If they require an interview and schedule it for while she is visiting her mom will I be able to reschedule it?

 

If they approve and mail her new green card while she is away will she still be able to return/reenter using her old/expired green card and i751 extension letter?

I see they're speeding the approval of 751 cases in YSC, hope they keep it up

yeah approx 280 in the past week, if they kept up this pace they should get around to a lot of us within the next 3-4 months or so.

Please accept my condolences. This is very sad.

You can write a letter to the service center asking to convert jointly filed I-751 to a waiver (box 1c on the form). Alternatively, you can file new I-751 with that box checked.

 

Most importantly, do you have the death certificate?
