Good afternoon everyone! I751 received today! How long until we get a case number ?

If you submitted the form to get text notification you'll receive the case number via text by Wednesday or so and the physical letter in the mail about a week later, based on everyone I've seen lately. This is a guess of course.

Fellas, having trouble figuring this out: did anybody from August filers get biometrics letter/notification/scheduling - after getting Potomac Service Center receipt? 

My case is in Potomac, no updates so far! Case received on Aug 9.

 

My AOS case was processed at NBC and I recall biometrics notice about a month after case being received. There were a few ROC August filers with biometrics waived already, I guess they might all be in NBC…

Just venting out - I am getting some sort of anxiety panic attacks after reading about all the "wait stories" from Potomac center and combing through their google reviews, as well as USCIS official "time estimates"...    

 

I also noticed that my USCIS online account - shows only "Case Was Received" status, and does not say that I got NOA with receipt (I got letter on Aug 18)...

So on top of the Potomac Center fame for all of the bad reasons, I already start to freak out   Gosh... like 2 years of this stress?? really... just why... (((

I'm not at Potomac but that all sounds frustrating and I hope your case has some movement. I wanted to say though that my online account also only says Case was Received even though I got the NOA and have a biometrics appointment this coming week. So don't despair on that account!

The immigration really is full of anxiety and frustration. But we also have that unique grit and determination that keeps us going.

 

Be easy on yourself, think that now you are with your loved one (if your case is marriage or family based) and you are able to work and travel. You are still a legal permanent resident and that extension letter is proof of that for two years. The extension letter definitely gave me peace of mind!

 

About the Case Status: it does not update when the NOA receipt is sent. It only updates for fingerprints, RFE sent/RFE received, interview ready/interview scheduled, case approved/card produced.

Hey all,

 

Still haven't received a notice letter...

 

08/08/2022 – FEDEX notified us of delivery at lockbox

08/11/2022 – received text notification with Case number YSCxxxx - Potomac...

08/12/2022 – Payment check for I-751 cashed according to our bank

 

what should we do .. my wife is a flight attendant and needs that extension letter to keep travelling in and out of the US for her job...

 

We also asked that they change her name at same time as removal of conditions. maybe that's the delay?

I can’t tell if the name change causes delays, but in normal circumstances you should have received the NOA.

 

If you don’t receive the NOA after 30 days of filing, fill the form below:

That all sounds pretty good, you should get your confirmation and extension letter soon enough and then join the rest of us in the wait!

Thank you. 

 

We just received the text notification and added the receipt number to my wife's USCIS online account. 

 

• I-751 package sent 08/30/22
• I-751 package received 08/31/22 (receipt notice confirms this)
• NOA1 text 09/03/22
• EAC - Vermont service center

Did this yesterday, exactly 30 days after filing.

I'll try and call tomorrow to figure things out, I was also wondering if I should call the local office and schedule the biometrics with them immediately.

I don’t think you can call to schedule biometrics. Also, in most cases they are waived (if you had it done for AOS).
 

I’ve seen folks walking in for biometrics, some are successful and some are not. But for that you’ll need a hard copy of a NOA.

 

Potomac seems to be the slowest service center. My case is there and no word about biometrics so far.

 

I would just focus on getting that NOA/extension letter in hands - with that you can breathe for 24 months.
