2 years waiting

[Shane & Len 11]

Is anyone else (I am sure there is, just feels lonely) been waiting 2 years for the I 751?  Our filing was May 26, 2020, Biometrics completed on December 11, 2020 then nothing but crickets for the last 17 months.

Really caused an issue when we tried to buy a new home and the underwriter has basically accused us of lying since she "got her I 751 in 3 months...."

 

Just looking for someone to tell us they are still out there hanging in limbo too.

Just curious, why did the I-751 come up with during the home purchase? I hope you showed current processing times for I-751 on USCIS' website to that underwriter. Super rude of her to say that and literally everything changed with Covid. It doesn't take much brain power to know that.

 

Other question - have you filed N-400? A lot of times, both I-751 and N-400 will be adjudicated together if I-751 is still pending.

Yea, I needed some time to cool down before I replied to her.  We have not filed the N-400 because everything seemed so screwed up when we tried to do the I-90 to change my wife's name at the same time - she waited to change her name until after arriving here (not k-1) due to time constraints on travel papers at the time.  

 

It came up during home purchase as she is part of the application for the loan and at this point her green card is 21 months expired - apparently the extension letter wasn't enough proof that it is processing.

Yes we supplied print screens of processing times, case histories, case documents and the status of the 2 cases.

The attitude just started us questioning if something was actually wrong - having gotten to this point we should be used to the wait but that statement brought back all the old impatience from the CR-1 days!

Ah copy that. I'm so angry for you that the underwriter was so rude like that! The extension letters are now plainly extend the GC's for 24 months now.

 

Hmm, so what happened with the I-90 and trying to change her name? At the N-400 interview, you can request a name change if that's your concern.

It hasn't been a big issue for us......My wife will probably file her N-400 after we get her Medicare started in a month or so....

My I-751 took almost exactly 2 years to be approved.

So sorry this happened to you. Happened to me as well, we applied for land loan, went through entire process with the bank aware of the expired GC but at the very end the underwriter said he was unfamiliar with the 24mnth extension letter therefore it was not enough proof. 😤

 

Apply for N400 if you can. Good luck

Thank you everyone - glad to see we are not alone, but sorry everyone else is facing same delay.

The I 90 will be a year old in a week - they made us come back a 2nd time in 6 months and do biometrics all over again - then sent a letter 6 months after that stating that it wasn't necessary because they were already on file.... LOL.

So basically it is in the same limbo land that the I 751 is in.

 

We will find alternatives and keep moving forward until the paperwork makes its rounds.  Thanks for all the advice and support!

As I have stated before, USCIS needs to just eliminated the I-751 completely.

I’d sue. That’s ridiculous that length of time jeez!! I was June 2021 Cali filer and my 10 year came back in 9.5 months although K1 interview mandated per prior admin.

I think the money can be better spent by filing her N-400 in a few months.  She qualifies under the 5 year rule now.  The wait hasn't been a big issue for us.  She has obtained one ADIT stamp to travel last year.......

I'm so sorry that underwriter was such a piece of work to you.  Grr!  I would absolutely raise a stink over that with their supervisor (higher if necessary).  It is absolutely unacceptable.  To be shocked about the processing times - fair.  To insinuate that you're lying?  Not acceptable.  AT. ALL.
