I-90 submitted after divorce still pending 20 months after. Is this

[Dree 0]

Hi there, I submitted a I-90 after my divorce, to change my name. I-90 was submitted during the pandemiy, Aug 2020. It has been almost 20 months and my case is still pending. Anyone know if this process is normal? Does it take that long to get a replacement green card?

 

Thank you

@MisscloudI submitted an outside processing time notice, they said they are still working on it. I was curious if anyone had similar timeframe.

Hi everyone, 

 

Long story short, my ex and I got a divorce about 2y ago and I submitted i-90 to go back to my maiden name soon after. I'm on a 10y green card. I followed all the instructions, change all my other papers submit i-90 and went for biometrics, but it has been 2y now and nothing happened. I submitted a "out of normal process" ticket and got a reply saying that they were still working on the case and, I think, it also said that the timeline online is not always 100% correct. 

Is/was anyone else in the same situation? 

 

What is your experience? Thank you

I-90 and I-751 are not a priority for USCIS in most cases. I’ve seen USCIS take fast action on ai-90 in  2022 if at least one of following is true:

 

* the field office isn’t busy. Some offices just don’t have much to do.  
 

* the gc has been expired for several years.  Ironically I hear about these cases when the reason for expiry is because the LPR has been out of country for years. I don’t know why USCIS considers it a priority to renew a gc of an LPR that didn’t bother for years but that is what it is doing. 
 

In you case, a name change, is even lower priority because this doesn’t prevent you from living and and working in the USA, or traveling.  Your divorce decree is your lawful change of name document so if for example your passport and gc have different names, your divorce decree lets you board the flight. 
 

I realize this is inconvenient to you, and I don’t agree with USCIS taking your money and not acting on your petition. Try doing these in order:

 

* DHS ombudsman 

* your congressional representative 

* your federal senators 

* hire an attorney to litigate your I-90 in federal court (writ of mandamus and administrative procedures act)

@Mike E I'm in no way in a hurry, I did call before my travels to inquire if ok to travel with the papers I have, and,  they confirm all is good. I was curious if this timeline was standard or my case could still pending due to other issues. Thanks for the info!
