My Hubands Extension letter is expiring this month. 

We have tried several times to get an infopass appointment but its almost impossible here.

They are sure that the letter will come in time extending the GC extension from 18-24 months.

 

HAS ANYONE actually received this letter. They were promised to some by the end of September.

I have yet to see anyone who has gotten one.

 

Please can you let me know if you have ?  and when was your extension expired ?

 

Hopefully if we keep calling enough times we can get an appointment. They keep calling to schedule but then say no appointments available.

 

 

thank you in advance.

We got an appointment in early September.  I told them it was an emergency because my wife needs to travel.....it was painless and fast.

Here they have said 1) the new notice should arrive in time

2) No appointments available at this time

3) call back within 10 days of expiry date.

 

I dont know why it is so difficult. Thats why im wondering if anyone has received the new extended letters.  I dont know when they are going to send them out.

 

thanks

I first called USCIS at about 9:00am on Sept 1st .....by 10:30am the next day, we were exiting the USCIS office in Irving, TX with an ADIT stamp in my wife's passport.  But my wife's 18 month extension letter had expired in Dec 2020.

No. Haven’t received anything. Our place is not eligible for USPS Informed Delivery either, so I haven’t been able to keep an eye out for it that way either.

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

Case Status Changed to New Card Is Being Produced 11/19/2021

Case Status Changed to Case Was Approved 11/22/2021

Green Card Arrived in the Mail (Name Correctly Spelling, w00t) 11/27/2021

 

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...

Hi! I actually did receive mine. My 18 month extension letter expired in August and I got the 24 month extension last week. I didn’t expect it or inquire about it since I’m not planning on traveling any time soon.

I had a similar post about the extension letter and was told to my friend that she will not get another extension letter. But she did get a stamp on her passport. So, Did you really receive another extension letter? Thanks.

Thats great, that you got one. I guess they might be printing in order of dates.   

 

Thanks for responding.

ALso, was there anything in your online account when it was issued,  notating something was sent ? they have told us they will schedule something within 10 days of the expiry (which is in a few days) and that the letter is any day now. But I dont really trust USCIS at the moment or the post office for that matter.

No I did not get a notification. However, I have the case tracker app and that was the only way I found out that they requested more evidence!!! Never got the letter for the REF. But than randomly a week later my extension letter showed up, without me expecting it, any heads up etc.
