Still waiting for I-751

[Diane and Chris 651]

Can I get an idea of people still waiting for their 10 year GC that filed in June 2020?  Our 24 month extension is about to expire in early September. Thanks!  

[OldUser 6,633]

Perhaps worth asking in June 2020 thread. There was activity there not so long ago

@Crazy Cat's wife has been waiting since 2019.  I believe they ended up getting an info pass to request a 551 stamp.

A friend of mine gc will expire Sept 15, I advised her today to call to get an infopass appt. She's currently awaiting the callback as well as I had advised her to apply for naturalization.

I see no need to get a stamp unless a person needs to travel or show proof of status.  Her status does not expire when the extension letter does.

Wow! Thanks for this information. We thought her status would've expired because she did submit a outside case processing time and the response from them was to get the stamp!

It’s truly insane how long these are taking to process. And one wouldn’t be wrong in saying that it’s intentional to cause ripples in a marriage.

It is taking a long time (I am over 1 year in myself and am not expecting much for another 6 months at least) but I wouldn't say it causes ripples in my marriage?

 

I am authorized to stay and work, so a less stressful situation that the horrible long wait for the initial application.

I filed, make sure that I get a stamp close to the expiration date of my extension letter and carry on with life as usual.

It actually does in most cases.

 

When you have a paranoia which is very common in immigration issues, it festers in the personality, employment, vacation all of which are impacted thus causing a conflict with the USC that has none of the issues.

 

Weather or not you want to believe it, until you have the passport in hand, your stay in the US is never guaranteed. To a lot of people, deciding their long term future such as kids, house, investments are dependent on the outcomes.

Just get the stamp in case you need to travel or show it to a employer.

But it's not like an LPR can be kicked out of the US just like that? I understand that being a USC is the 'safest' situation to be in, but it would take a lot to strip a LPR of their status. I am the immigrant (my husband is the USC) and yes, the fact that is takes so long is annoying for sure, but I am not living in fear of getting my LPR status taken away or anything. I am doing everything he does (except for voting or applying for a job at USCIS for example), so I am not feeling like I have to be super alert about something.

Ofcorse not, but you also can’t foresee what situation may happen in future that could drastically impact your status, such as a DUI, DV, accidental voter registration and somethings not even the person’s fault just bad luck. 

 

Most lawyers will disagree with the large amount of wait. Generally when your wait far exceeds the extension, there is a cause for concern. Lastly, the “ripples in marriage” I spoke of is essentially Jim Hacking’s point of view.

Well yes, getting a DUI or DV situation is never a good thing (for anybody, but especially for LPR's). But really, a LPR has a lot of control over their own status.

My application was approved (without any RFE's) in 6 months, but has been ready to be scheduled for an interview for that same amount of time. "Generally when your wait far exceeds the extension, there is a cause for concern" -> I think it all depends where the wait is, because if the application is missing something, the applicant would receive an RFE

So the long timeline isn’t related to you. I am speaking of the people who are waiting for 2+ years to even hear something back

In my wife's case, waiting until the 5 year mark before submitting the N-400  has not been an issue.  She had to get one ADIT stamp after expiration of her extension. She literally had the ADIT stamp in her passport within 24 hours of making the first call to USCIS.
