I-751 — March 2024 Filers Club

[EarlyAnxious 16]

Hello there! 

 

My permanent resident card expires on June 8. I mailed my joint package on March 9 and it was delivered to the Carol Stream PO Box on March 11.

 

I think I messed up and filed too early. Even though it got delivered within the 90 days, I've been reading the horror stories of people getting their packages back 4 weeks later after their packages got delivered 1 day after their 90 days start. I still haven't received it but I'm ready for the disappointment. I'm dumb for rushing. Should've mailed it on March 11. Don't make the same mistake! 

 

Anyway, I want to hear about your timelines. Since there is no March thread, I started this one. 

 

Good luck everyone!

I put so much effort in sending that neatly organized package. I even put the documents inside 2 different cardboard envelopes and then I put those two envelopes inside a large USPS Priority Mail box with bubbles so that it didn't get messed up or wet. All for nothing.

You are fine.  The "90 days" date was March 10th, and your package was delivered on March 11th.

 

Breathe!

I'm scared. Knowing my bad luck, the same thing will probably happen to me.

It's possible, but don't worry about the things you cannot control. It's done. You have to wait for their feedback.

You chose the right username. 😁

 

Try not to worry; even doing everything perfectly USCIS will always manage to surprise you. 😁

 

Keep an eye on your credit card being charged or you check being cashed out.

In case you get your package back just send it again including a letter explaining the late filing. But I am certain you won't need to. Everything will be fine.

I submitted it with a fee waiver so the only way I'll know if they accept the filing or not will be after they process the G-1145 (if they do) or after they add the I-751 to my USCIS online account.

My window opened 03 / 05 / 2024. I mailed it via USPS to Phoenix, AZ on the same 03/05/2024 and it was delivered 03/06/2024. We saw check was pending Monday 03/11/2024 and check was cashed (cleared in bank) on 03/12/2024. I have not received any text messages or email. Any idea when one will hear something? 
 

Also, I do not have any online account where I can see my past or current cases, how do you guys do that?

Normal.  If your check was cashed, you are fine.  Your extension letter should get to you in a few weeks.

Thank you. How do I get an online account that allows me see past and current cases? 
 

I have one I signed up for both it only shows case status for paper filed cases I added

Once you get a receipt number, you can add it.

Today is the 9th day after the delivery date (March 11) and I still haven't received anything.

 

I guess they rejected it for real.

 

I've seen so many other filers that sent their I-751 packages to the same lockbox (Carol Stream PO Box) several days after mine and they already got their receipts or case numbers by text message. 

 

I called USCIS but they always say there's nothing showing on their system. I keep checking my online account but there's nothing.

Text messages from USCIS are very unreliable.  If you sent the correct fee and signed the forms, all is OK for now.  Patience is still the key.  This ride has just begun.  Fortunately, the I-751 is the last hard part of the process.  It gets much easier for the N-400.

That's why I also keep checking my USCIS Online Account every hour. 

 

Sadly, I can't track it with the payment because I didn't have enough money so I filed it with a fee waiver request (I-912).

 

So the only way to know if they processed it will be after receiving the receipt number either by text or through my online account. 

 

This is driving me crazy.

That might cause a delay.
