Rejected, 16 days left on conditional card.

[Joseph V 10]

Can someone help me plz.

Im posting this on behalf of my sister.

 

My sister resident card(with conditions) expires this April 16th.

 

She filled and sent her I751 on January 15th and it was supposed to be delivered on the 17th but got delivered on Saturday January 16th.

 

After almost 2 months on March 12th she got her package back and a Rejected notice which stated that it was because the USCIS got her packaged before the 90 day window, all of her papers have some kind of imprinting on the bottom stating they were processed on January 15th arlund 830am.  

They asked an immigration lawyer what to do next and were told just to ship it back to the USCIS and remove the Rejection noticed, they shipped it back on March 13th and to this date they havent heard from the USCIS.

 

Now she is 16 days from her resident card expiration date and desperate on what to do, we tried to call USCIS but never got pass the automatic system.

 

What should she do now?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Ps. Her status was from a K1 visa

Ps2. Sorry for wrong section earlier.

Even though it was going to be delivered on January 17th, the package itself was still postmarked on Janaury 15, before the 90 day period.

Yes they understand, the issue now is that they resend it and her resident card expires in 16 days, what can they do beside waiting?

They sent everything back on March 13th to the USCIS.

Nothing. They filed again within the timeframe, if everything is correct, it won't be rejected again. Her status doesn't end when the card expires, she's still a PR.

[SalishSea 18,393]

Yes, they are very strict in enforcing the 90 days.

 

At this point, all you can really do is wait.

[Dashinka 25,241]

The rejection was proper since it was received too early and the lawyer was right in that it needed to be re-submitted.  Has your sister been able to verify that the re-submission was received, or the check was cashed?  As to getting close to the expiration date on the GC, there is nothing your sister needs to do unless she is planning to take an international trip very soon.  From what I am hearing it is taking 1-3 months for ROC applications to get the extension letter, but your sister's status does not expire when the GC expires, only the proof of status expires.

 

Good Luck!

We checked the money order and it has not been cashed yet. Im guess all she can do right now is just wait.
Does the extension letter is sent automatically or does she has to request it?
Thanks

[mindthegap 2,611]

Nothing she needs to - or can - do.

Just wait, and it will be cashed and the receipt issued.

 

Card is proof of status, not the status itself.

[Soksboy 13]

Yeah, all you have to do now is to wait.

 

I think this is a learning point for all not to try timing our submissions so tight.

 

Mailing it a day or 2 inside the 90 day window would be the earliest I would drop it in the mail. They get a lot of mail and I would bet that the post marked date is what was used to determine its date of receipt.

 

Due to this 'mistake' of trying to hit the 90 day window at the very top, OP is now at least 2 months behind what she had planned.

If everything is correct she will receive a letter that extends her green card in about a month, so right after it expires. Depending on the state she lives in, that means no driver's license for a couple weeks. And no proof of her permanent resident status (only an expired GC) so it makes switching jobs and such hard. But otherwise she'll still be "legal". So just wait...

The extension letter is sent automatically as the Notice of Action (NOA) that the I751 was received.  Once your sister receives the extension letter, she can use that along with the expired GC to prove status.

2-3 months before you hear anything.

 

People eager to submit right on top of their window opening has been discussed numerous times here on VJ. Just make sure she does not do the same for N400. 😔

They sent everything back on March 13th to the USCIS.

Assuming you used FedEx or UPS, then the package should have been delivered by 3/17.  If the current processing times hold steady, she can expect to receive a text or a copy of the NOA letter sometime between 4/23 and 4/30 (ish).

Alright, Thanks to everyone for the answered given
Now time to wait.
