Also, I am somewhat confused, if I look on the USCIS website, I see the following. Does this not essentially say that I-797 and I-797C are the same thing, except C has information about biometrics also?

I just found it interesting that when I got the text confirming they received it, they specifically said I-797C and not just I-797.

Hello! The text I received also says I-797C. But the Form I-797 I received this morning has no C on it but highlighted on the first sentence that my GC is extended for 24 months. Yours is probably on it’s way. Sucks that you can’t signup for informed delivery. But it’s good news that you received the biometrics notice like you said it means they have the right address. Good luck!

Thanks! I'm sure it'll get here. I think I was just panicking unnecessarily. I hadn't even checked to see if the check had cleared yet, so I think I was worrying too soon.

I already have a NY State ID that is valid until 2027 and a non restricted SSN, so I should be good to work and day to day things if for some reason I do not receive one

Yes

Out of curiosity, what happens if I just wait for a decision to be made on my case and do not chase them up for a new letter?

Since you don’t plan to travel, nothing.

Do they even re-issue extension letters if they are not received if I do chase them up?

Yes.

Every  I-751 case I know of gets  I-797 for biometrics  and an I-797 for an extension letter / acknowledgment of the case filing.

Thanks for confirming. I'm assuming that since the check only cleared on January 9th, they wouldn't send me any letter until payment was successfully received

I would have equally assumed you would not get a biometrics letter until payment was successfully received.

I just thought I'd post that I received my I-797 receipt / extension letter today. So if anyone else received their biometrics first instead of the extension letter, it can happen.

 

It looks like they actually sent it out a day before the biometrics I-797c (which was dated the 10th), which is very strange ( the date on the envelope was the 9th - and I received it today, the 17th). I'm not sure why it took so long, but the main thing is that it got here!

 

I also noticed that the day they sent it out is the same day my check cleared from my bank, so I will use that as an indication for when they will send things out from now on.
