USCIS letter a few weeks before I 751 process

[pantherboy 1]

Hello all, my wife received her GC back in 2019 and we are only a couple of weeks away from filing the I 751.

 

But today, thanks to USPS Informed Delivery, I know that a letter from USCIS is coming later on today. I'm very worried. 

 

Do you guys know what that might be? And why is it coming at this point in the process (she's has no pending file or anything like that)?

If I remember correctly I got a letter reminding me that it was nearly time to file I 751

I predict it will NOT be bad news......it is probably a reminder to file the I-751.  Some people get reminders...some don't.

I thought USCIS doesn't do that and it's up to us to remember when to file the petition. 

Or they still do but it's pretty rare.

Good to hear.

I'm pretty paranoid and I even called the 1-800 number to see if my wife's A number is in removal proceedings...

 

I have every thing ready for I 751, just waiting for the right date to send it off. This letter shocked me quite a bit.

 We got a reminder letter from USCIS  a few weeks before the conditional green card expired most likely what it is.

I can confirm that it is the reminder to file I-751. 

 

It's weird that this was sent to my old home address even with AR-11 already submitted a while ago.

We just got a reminder letter this year in January that was  just 1 month before our 90 day window opens. It is probably reminder letter, don't worry...

USCIS is notoriously delinquent at getting the address changes put through in a timely manner.

 

Great news that it is nothing bad though!

It would be weirder if they'd actually gotten the address right. AR-11 are pretty useless in my experience, they send everything related to the green card to the address in the application. Like people don't move.🙄

After doing some research on this forum, yeh, it's pretty common that people still have their notices sent to old address.

 

I guess I'll file the I-751 with new/current address and hopefully everything will be updated by then.

I got the reminder after submitting the I751 (only by a couple of days) but they sent it to my old old address despite me doing an AR11 twice lol.

I'm convinced the address they have for the person and the address for the application are kept totally separate, and the AR-11 only updates the former and never the latter.
