Hi 👋🏻 I was able to file on 2/28 (90 days before greencard expires on 5/29), but sent my I-751 in one day later on 3/1 just to be safe. The next day I received snail mail from USCIS stating it’s time to file my I-751 with a stamp dated 3/2.

 

I’m worrying a little as I still haven’t received an email/text confirming receipt of my package... how long did it take others to receive their text/email notification? Thanks 

 

 

It is taking at least 4-5 weeks; no one from march will have received their first notice yet. I believe February filers are having money cashed for people who filed around the 16th of February right now, with NOAs expected in the next week or so.

Hang tight, you should hear something within a few weeks.

CA here, too. Our I-751 was received November 13, and still no news about biometrics.

Is a biometrics appointment required for all filers? The instructions to I-751 state: "After USCIS receives your petition and ensures it is complete, we will inform you in writing, if you need to attend a biometric services appointment."

Hi I don’t think we will be able to finish paperwork this month. Hopefully April. So do you need to send all the proof together with the form or we can send it later when they ask for proof. Not sure. What did you guys include in the initial package for your removal of condition?

Obviously you want to gather as much evidence as possible beforehand to avoid any RFE which then will eventually delay your case further.

Hi we mailed our package (usps) on 2/23 and it was delivered on 3/3. Sent a check which still hasn’t been cashed in yet. Anyone send a check that was actually cashed?

Sent out I-751 on 3/22/21 and was delivered 3/24.  Anyone know how long they are taking to send out extension letters lately? Would like to travel outside of the country for 3 - 6 months and would like to go as soon as receive the letter.  Is this advisable or too risky? Are they having people in for biometrics ? or waiving that lately?

Estimate at least 6 weeks for the NOA1/Extension letter (I believe it's the same thing).

It is a mixed pool from what I have seen on whether you will get in person biometrics or if it is waived. I would say being out of the country for that length of time is probably not advisable just in case you get an interview, biometrics appointment etc (or RFE, though I would assume that you will have someone checking your mail if you do go, and a way to cut your travel short and return if necessary). But I will admit I'm not 100% clear on the specifics of leaving for extended periods of time during this process, it isn't something I've looked into much.

Just dropped off our packet at UPS! Feels like a weight lifted off our shoulders! Now for the waiting game.... 👻

We had been anticipating filing for a while so have everything ready to go in December, 3/12 was the earliest we could sent our 751 in.

 

We UPS'd out 751 filing on 3/12, got receipt showing delivered on 3/15. Like everyone else still waiting on the NOA. Waiting for this one sure is a heck of a lot easier than the wait for the K1 was!

hello everyone, 

Is anyone able to post a checklist of what they submitted for their ROC.  First date of possible submission for me was 03/23 but I have not had the chance to put everything together. 

 

I am also planning to travel abroad in May for a couple of weeks. current GC does not expire until 3rd week of July. will this be a problem ?
