Yes thank you I read that but his gc expired 11/1/2020 ext. letter is valid for 2years from expired gc therefore everything is until 11/1/22

It's just written completely dumb. Like others have said, his status does not expire. He's not suddenly illegal. The only thing that expires is his PROOF of status. So if he needs this proof for work, travel or to renew an ID he should get the stamp in his passport.

What hard work?

 

How long do you think it should take to approve an I-751?

 

I could do 99.99 percent of them in 10 minutes each.  
 

I could RFE the other 0.01 percent in an hour.  
 

Figure 2 million pending I-751s and 1000 uscis workers:

 

 

0.9999 * 2,000,000 * 10 / 60 / 1000

+

0.0001 * 2,000,000 / 1000

 

= 333.5 hours to work through the back log.  That’s less than 9 weeks.

I think USCIS needs to do a better job of writing in bold letters or a different colored ink that:

"Your legal status in the US does NOT expire upon expiry of this extension letter."

 

@Adelloves   You can get an extension / stamp on the passport if you are really worried but generally USCIS does not entertain such requests unless you need to travel / change jobs/ renew ID etc.

 

Conditional or Permanent residency status can only be nullified by an immigration judge.

 

Personally I think USCIS should get rid of the draconic process of removing conditions. I filed to remove my conditions 25 months ago, it just makes them look highly incompetent.

My research shows that only about 1% of I-751s are actually denied.  That tells me that their extra screening of marriages less than 2 years old at the time of US entry is not needed.  I agree that the I-751 should be eliminated.

Its unfortunately a necessity due to sham marriages. Though I believe an IO could make a determination at AoS interview if ROC is required based on quality and amount of evidence. Another way would be to hire people that are dedicated only to ROC packages and evaluating evidences and sending their results to IOs. But common sense is something that still has to find its way into the agency.

Except it isn’t.
The glaring ones are fairly  obvious. Yet the hoops that genuine people have to go through and justify how they live their lives according to some arbitrary checklist being checked by some idiot who’s never had a passport of their own, defies logic and the boundaries of what is reasonable. It’s intrusive, stressful, and upsetting, and that’s even if it goes well without any hiccups. 
 

I happen to know a couple of people who came here as tourists and simply overstayed for years.

They then had sham marriages in order to stay - they actually paid their spouse to do it. In all cases they are now LPR or in one case a citizen. 
But me? Do everything by the book, proper immigrant visa at the consulate via DCF (which requires an interview), file the joint i-751 on time with no shortage of documentation …yet because my ex spouse is a sociopathic malignant narcissist and purposefully set out to destroy me and make a provably false accusation to USCIS, here I am, 7 years on, and on my third I-751 filing, seemingly in eternal limbo. 
It’s a crock of s*** and needs to be radically reformed, or better still just scrapped and checks very much front loaded.

I'm sorry you have to go through that.

 

My ex husband actually offered to stay married during my removal of conditions process, I refused and filed for divorce. I wasn't going to let him have anymore control over my life at that point. I've been divorced 2 years now so the whole "waiting for an interview" is ridiculous.

 

I hope things work out for you soon.

Please help my husband filed for removal of conditions and has received the 18 month letter of extension but it is about to expire in Novem

ber and yet no appt. Or anything not sure what to do otherwise he will be illegal in this country

Your questions have been answered correctly , and I had to carefully read it to understand. So between 2020 to 2022 you have had a 2 years extension which is 24 months. So as you correctly put it..he need prove of his legal status may be for work or travel and sometimes it's just to feel better knowingfully well you have your documents up to date, at this point I will call uscis and when the robot starts talking say infos pass and you will get to a live agent that will help you to set up an appointment .
