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.

Filed and received 3.12. How long are biometrics taking now? Anyone? We are in California

 

Thanks

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

Getting there, slowly but surely...  (I hope )

 

Together (well...mostly the Transatlanticism kind of together) Since 12/2013

 

CR-1:

 

Married in Sweden 8/2017
(Well Frontloaded) I-130 Sent 12/2017
CR-1 Approved 10/2018
POE LAX 01/11/2019

 

I-751:

 

I-751 Package Sent with UPS 11/11/2020
I-751 Received by the AZ Lockbox 11/13/2020
I-751 Check Cashed 12/31/2020
I-797 (with My Last Name Misspelled...) Received by Mail 1/2/2021

Biometrics Appointment Received by Mail...too bad I am in Europe right when it's supposed to take place 🤯 6/14/2021

Rescheduled Biometrics Appointment, the biometric technician can't change the misspelled name on file, but he enters the correct spelling of my last name as an alias 8/2/2021

Interview Ready to Be Scheduled 10/13/2021

(Two Days Later) Interview Was Scheduled 😱 10/15/2021

I-751 Interview, Petition Approved 🥳 11/19/2021

When USCIS Misspells Your Name:

 

Typographical error form filled on USCIS website 1/4/2021
Contacted USCIS if there has been any progress since THEIR error (Received a Tier 1 tracking number) 2/6/2021
Contacted USCIS again as the issue remains to be resolved (Received ANOTHER Tier 1 tracking number) 3/12/2021
Apparently USCIS chat is worthless; CALLED USCIS, Tier 1 agent promised that a Tier 2 agent would call me 4/28/2021
Received a call from a nice Tier 2 officer who said I may or may not get a correct extension letter, but just in case I would be scheduled an InfoPASS appointment 5/4/2021
Went to local USCIS service center and had to deal with a nasty and entitled customer service agent who refused to give me an I-551 stamp. National Benefits Center is supposed to mail me another I-797 within 7-10 days... So I had to waste my day, taking buses for two hours one-way just to deal with this lady's attitude? 5/7/2021

After anxiously monitoring our mailbox for a few days I DID receive a corrected I-797, w00t! All documents good to go Vaccinated Ready to visit my parents in Europe for the first time in 17 months!!  5/13/2021

The lesson: Don't use the chat for anything complicated, AND keep hassling USCIS for a response...

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.

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.

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 ?
