That is so awesome. Congrats. Is this fast to get biometrics? Or normal time frame?

I'm honestly not sure. Will have to go over some timelines to see what's typical but I'm glad we're going to get this done with.

Hi everyone, here my current status:

 

- Sent all the paperworks on 02/21
- Paperworks received on 02/22

- NOA dated 02/24

- extension letter received by email 03/06

 

Now I just gonna have to wait countless months :). Question: Are there cases where applicants have received ROE within few weeks from filing? or ROE are supposed to be requested only deep in the process?

You mean RFE?

 

There's RFIE (Request for Initial Evidence) that comes early for very obvious missing docs.

And there's RFE (Request for Evidence) that comes towards the end of process, when IO takes a close look at the case.

Typically the receipt notice and extension letter are synonymous. Not sure if there's different wording on the 48 month letter though as I haven't received one yet.

What I meant to say was that I saw my notice with the 48 month extension from my online account

They tried to charge my card 3 days after I mailed the I-175. Chase flagged it as fraud and it didn’t go through. So pissed right now. 

Im looking for the next step from here. everything I have searched for comes up as “I-175 declined” rather than just the payment for the form being declined. 
 

I would love to call the lockbox but no phone number. 
 

should I just wait for the rejection notice? Mail them another payment option?

Hello looking for suggestions we submitted our documents for I-751 and received a letter that they will use the biometrics from last time. That letter was sent out 2/14 and as I’m looking at different timelines I’m seeing that it seems within a week or two that people get 48 month extensions. Is there anyone I should call to inquire about our case status? I have an online account and it still shows fingerprints are being applied. If it helps our case is with LIN are they generally slower? 

I’m just getting concerned because my wife won’t be able to work or travel soon since her GC expires at the end of March.

The package is likely on its way back to you. You won't be able to just mail another payment. 

 

Either wait for the first package to return and resend with another payment method, or put a new package together and resent with another payment method.

Are you saying that you have not yet received a receipt notice/extension letter?

 

What date did you file?

Hi, 

From what I’ve read before, either you wait for them to ship your I-751 package back to you (it could take ~1 month) or print your whole package again (if you don’t want to wait) and send it with another G-1145 form, check or money order.
 

I don’t know if it works but since I sent the package, I placed a preauthorization with my bank (for $680 in my case). I did it everyday since I didn’t know when I was gonna get charged.
The charge went through after 3 days of them getting my package.

alright. This is good info. Thank you. 

 

I’ll just get a money order, put everything together again, and send a new one. It shouldn’t be too much trouble.

 

Just frustrating.
