Green Cards arrived by surprize today.  Of course USCIS status had not updated to shipped, but oddly even the normally reliable USPS Informed Delivery did not detect the incoming Priority Mail until after they were actually delivered to our mailbox.  An interesting but inconsequential detail is that the expiration dates on the cards differ by three weeks between my wife and stepdaughter.  My stepdaughters card expires 05/01/2034 which correlates with the I751 approval date and is the expiration date one would expect.  However, my wife's card expires 04/10/2034 which is good enough for us but I can't think of anything that date would correlate to.  It does not match the approval notice or any USCIS activity that I am aware of.  It is a seemingly random expiration date.  4/10 is 2 days after we returned from traveling in the UK and Schengen area if maybe that generated some kind of activity???   But hey, we are happy with it.  Just odd the date difference.  Both of their "resident since" dates are the same and correct. 

 

We successfully updated Global Entry with the new expiration dates online.  Previously trying to enter the extended expiration date of the expired cards did not work online.  Though they had successfully entered the US through Global Entry with expired cards, extension letters and a brief stop with a friendly CBP agent.

 

Final timeline:

 

9/6/2023  --  I-751 packet mailed by USPS Priority Mail.
9/8/2023  --  Packet received by Phoenix lock box.
9/12/2023 --  Credit card charged.
9/21/2023 --  Received extension letters and online access codes.

9/30/2023 --  Received notices of biometrics appointments. 
10/2/2023 --  Biometrics appointment date.

10/2/2023 -- Wifes case status changed to  "Actively Reviewing"

5/2/2024 -- I-751's Approved

5/2/2024 -- Status "We are producing your new card"

5/10/2024 -- Status "We produced your new card"

5/13/2024 -- Both cards arrived 

 

Next stop N400 at the end of July.

Congrats! We haven’t heard anything yet but plan to upload more unsolicited evidence this week to cover January-April 2024, to add to the unsolicited evidence already submitted covering September-December 2023.

Good evening everyone,

Sorry if this has been ask…I searched and couldn’t find this question….

 

Did anyone fill out the question number 10 about if you are not the petitioner you have to write your name and sign it?  I am the spouse so I’m thinking I don’t have to fill this part out, but since I’m not the petitioner, seems like I will have to. Plus I wrote the cover letter like I filled out the form I-751.  
 

10. Part 10. Contact Information, Statement, Certification, and Signature of the Person Preparing this Petition, If Other Than the Petitioner. This section must contain the signature of the person who completed your petition, if other than you, the petitioner. If the same individual acted as your interpreter and your preparer, that person should complete both Part 9. and Part 10….

I-751 is typically filled and filed by the immigrant (lawful permanent resident). The immigrant is the petitioner and the beneficiary for I-751.

The US citizen spouse (if LPR filing jointly) signs and dates part 8 questions.

There's nothing else required from US citizen spouse in this form.

Thanks for your response. I filled out the question 8 and signed it. But since I’m the one that completed/prepared the form do I need to fill out question 10 as well?

You probably can. Ultimately, your spouse is the one responsible for all the answers on this form.

I'm surprised people have been getting approvals. I was almost certain my wife was going to get naturalized before we ever hear back.

I think so far my wife is the only one in this group already approved.  She just filed N400 today.  I would assume many others in this group will be eligible to file N-400 soon.

No update on the case status but I did upload four more months' worth of unsolicited evidence to myUSCIS today, making it now a year's worth of additional evidence that we've submitted since filing.

I've heard from some callers on Jim Hacking show USCIS sent them RFE despite providing everything they had. Then the callers didn't know what else to send. There's a school of thought saying you can file the strongest case and then not submit anything else. If USCIS RFE, then you can confidently reply with 1 year or more of new evidence.

 

If you already sent new evidence, they can approve it without asking for anything else, or they can be sneaky and still issue RFE to which you'd have to reply.

 

If I was you, I'd keep some evidence up my sleeve.

Noted, I don’t think we’ll have any shortage of evidence to provide regardless.
