There's nothing anybody can do about packet that is sitting in large facility full of boxes with mail. USCIS operation is sloooooow due to large scale. You cannot expect to get to Mars in 3 hour flight, it takes at least 9 months. Same here.

Are you telling my wife is stuck in Japan for  at least 9 months or longer?

Your wife can travel on an expired Green card along with the extension letter.

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. 

Have you received an update on your application yet?

Yeah, I already got my receipt. Check my previous comments on this post.
After my I-751 package was delivered at the lockbox, it took 32 days for me to get the extension letter by mail.

We just applied for the I-751.  How long will it take to get the extension letter?
The application was delivered April 2nd and they still have not cashed my check $750.00 yet.

[EarlyAnxious 16]

Based on what happened to me, I can tell you that you will have to wait at least 32 days.

There will be no record of your case until they scan and process your documents.

Trust me, I tried everything. Nothing showed up until they did.

 

Did your wife's green card expired already?

If it's still not expired she can travel without the receipt.

Her green card expired January 3,2024.  Her mother died in Japan on February 27th and without thinking about USCIS or anything else I got her a flight out for the next morning to Japan.  

I had never received anything regarding the I-751 in the past 5 years and suddenly this nightmare occurred so we applied April 2nd, I actually applied the week before but Bank of America declined the charge protecting my account from fraud and then sent in a new application package with a check.

You can only wait for extension letter or apply for boarding foil (expensive)

I was told to wait for the I-797 and the extension letter comes with it and then apply for the boarding foil.

I would apply for the boarding foil now but I think it's too soon.  I was told she needs to do that at the US Embassy in Tokyo.

You don't need boarding foil if you have extension letter and expired GC.

You won't need a boarding foil with an extension letter.

That's rough. I'm sorry all this has happened to you.

Sadly, there's nothing you can do. Just wait until you get the extension letter by mail and then mail it to her to Japan through FedEx.

You should receive it within 30 to 45 days. She will be able to return to the US with her green card and that letter.

 

Before buying flight tickets, the first thing you should always do is check if your passport or green card is expired.

For the I-751, USCIS sent me a reminder letter 120 days before the expiration of the green card. I got one through mail and through my online account.

We have no memory of anything in the mail and it's not in our portal which is really surprising because everything else is in the portal.

Does she need the original hard copy of the extension letter or can I email her a copy that she can print out there.

I would recommend the original.

I've read that some people tried using a printed copy and they got denied boarding by the airline staff at the airport.
