I-751 January 2021 Filers

[mysticdolphin95 431]

Biometrics waived, unsurprisingly.  Nice to not have to make the 2hr drive to our local office.  Makes you wonder why they can't just use the GC fingerprints by default, doesn't seem to be a problem now...guess that would make too much sense!

Got my NOA1 in mail on Feb 8, but no update on biometric yet. Is it normal?

Hello all,

Our 751 form was received on Jan. 11th at the Phoenix USPS; however, we have not gotten the text/email confirmation, NOA, and the check hasn't been cashed. Looking at the Google sheet, it seems that most people who submitted around that time have already received their NOA.

We have called and chatted USCIS several times. Some people there tell us to resubmit, some say DO NOT RESUBMIT. We really need the NOA to renew my drivers license and possibly get a new job (although, I might be able to pass the I-9 with my DL and SSN).

They tell us to wait 90 days after submission to contact them, but at that point, my green card would be expired - can I still apply? I feel like I'm stuck.

Does anyone have any guidance or encouragement?

Hi all!

 

good news on this end. I called USCIS and received my receipt number beginning with EAC this morning. Here’s the timeline all said and done:

 

sent package via usps: 01/04

received at lock box: 01/19

receipt number uploaded: 02/22

tbd on receiving my NOA.

 

now I just have to figure out what the tea on EAC is. Good luck every body!

 

 

Which number did you call?

When did you receive your NOA1 to when you received the biometrics waved?

18 days, I think - 2/10 NOA1, 2/28 biometrics waived.

Sent my I-751 to Phoenix certified mail. I was nervous because it's always been sent with tracking, and this was a totally different process than what I usually get. It was sent January 19 and received January 26. My check was just cashed yesterday. (March 1)

 

Today I have a letter coming from USCIS (that I'm hoping is a positive NOA and not an RFE) - I also need my NOA in order to renew my DL which expires in about a month.

 

From sent to Phoenix: 8 days

Check cashed: 35 days

NOA received: (+1) 36 days

 

Should be here in around 4 hours.

I am in same boat, my application was received on Jan 7th....still no NOA or confirmation

where did U file? Lockbox? is it Texas lockbox?

I have a strong feeling texas lockbox applications are going very slow.

Just got my check cashed! 

Package received by USCIS 01/28/21

Check cashed 03/02/2021

Text receipt confirmation 03/02/2021

NOA pending 

[Dustinm9 21]

Update: got my NOA! It actually says "Your conditional resident status is extended for 18 months from the expiration date on your Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card" on it, which will be helpful to apply for my driver's license renewal and filling out the I-9.

Thanks! That’s relieving to hear especially after reading others getting their biometrics waived
