And the expired card if you still have it (some have it taken at stamp appointments, some don't - I still have mine) as it speeds things up at your POE.

Ok so I'm not sure but any advice would be greatly appreciated. So I got denied for my 751 in 2018 I refiled in April 2019 when I got the notice i traveled like 6 days after receiving the extension came back in no question asked. Traveled again December no question. Im booked to travel tomorrow but extension letter was expired went an got a i551 stamp on the stamp it say COA: TR6 any one knows what that means ..I was also told that by the Io that that my 751 is at the local office in que for interview..so my question is can I travel and enter back 

I was looking for this forum and after I made a separate forum, I then went to my profile and found this smh.  Please excuse me a little slow in the morning.  Can you please help me understand some things please?

 

Okay so I see that with mindthegap filed jointly but that ex spouse made some allegations to uscis and the reason for denial was filed incorrectly.  that is just UNFORTUNATE, and I am sorry you had to go through that.  I wanted an understanding of how and what a denial looks like and if they give you a timeframe to reapply by vs appeal a decision.... Did you have to wait before reapplying?  Also for Kay21 was the denial because of improper filing also?

Hi ..no my denial was based off not replying to a rfe I never got it and my lawyer retired and didn't let me know .so I think it was based off of abandonment..from my understanding there is no time frame to refile but you have to appeal within 30 days I think ..@mindthegap can correct me if im wrong

when i call and enter my number it says "no case was found"

Yes - they updated recently to check online rather than by phone

If case not found it is not in the court system and therefore no final order of removal has been made in abstentia (which can happen notices go missing in the mail etc)....to even get to the court system can take years, and may not even happen at all.

You are good to go if the stamp is still valid. 

Edited by mindthegap

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.

thanks mindthegap, i called it said it couldn't find a case.

 

online also said the same thing. so i was never put in removal proceedings? and i can definitely travel with a stamp and denied i751 as long as my new i751 is pending?

 

last question maybe stupid.. A-number i entered is the number I received when i came to US. It never changes right? it is the number on my conditional green card that I received many years ago before denials.
