No response to i751 package sent!!

[NGorge 44]

Hello everyone. Need advices at this point. We had sent our i751 package on October 12th and tracking shows that it was delivered to Elgin lockbox on October 14. We haven't received any text or mails since then. The money order was not cashed either. Starting to get a bit worried considering others are receiving text notifications/797 mails already. What should I do? Also, our GC expires on Nov 13th. Any advices?? I know delays were common during pandemic but not recently. Is anyone else going through this? What did you do?

Call USCIS OR ask Emma if they received your package, and ask if your receipt number can be shared with you.
I remember someone got his receipt number through Emma chat; the agent would ask your name, DoB, etc.

Relax. You have proof it was delivered, and it’s only been a couple of business days. I’d give it a week or two.

I know. But since the GC is expiring in 3 weeks or so. I want to make sure that I am on top of things especially considering that I have no proof that USCIS has gotten my package and have not lost it other than the USPS tracking which shows that it is delivered to that PO Box. Thanks for the response.

The tracking is your proof that it was delivered. Sometimes they delay in picking it up from lockbox. 

Just because your GC expires it doesn't mean your status will. And even if it was delivered, your extension letter (which will be an extension of your gc) will not probably arrive prior to the three weeks.

Did you send the G-1145 so you get electronic notifications with regards to your case?

Also, when I did AOS back in 2019 I didn't get any notification of acceptance in 30+ days. I understand being anxious, but my point is, they take their time to do things lol

Yes. I send the G-1145 form as well. I understand that back in the day, it used to take 30+ days. Right now on VJ, I am on the group of filers who did it during the same time as me and even one person who submitted after me. They got their text notifications and/or extension letters. Hence that got me worried.

No, in 2019 everyone kept telling me that they received notification 10 days after at the latest. It just depends on who grabbed your case.

Double check that Elgin is correct for your state of residence.

You remain an LPR until a judge removes that status.

1. Do you need to:

 

* Renew a drivers license

* travel internationally 

* get a new job 

?

 

If so you should call USCIS, say info pass, and request an I-551 stamp.

 

2. Carry evidence that you filed I-751 on time.  
 

3. If your social security card is restricted, today  is a good day to go to the SSA office to get a card that removes that restriction.

Thank you for the detailed response, Mike.

Elgin is the lockbox for New York region.

We need to travel around December. What type of evidence? All I have is a tracking number to show that documentation was delivered. 

I don't think we have a restricted SS. I didn't even know of such a thing..

@NGeorge does your Social Security card have any wording such as "Valid for Work Only with DHS Authorization"?

if you don’t get your extension letter by November 1, then ask for a stamp.  Or reroute your return travel through Canada / Mexico and enter by land.  Or depending on your citizenship Guam or CNMI.
