I-751 February 2025 Filers

[GT40 9]

Hey everyone, 

2/24 - Sent via USPS

2/25 - Received in Carol Stream, IL

2/25 - Receipt notice sent

3/13 - Credit Card payment processed

3/15 - Biometrics reused / Actively reviewed by USCIS

 

In the package I managed to add a copy of an official confirmation of live birth from the hospital where my daughter was born (a couple of weeks prior). Not enough time left in the window to wait for a Birth Certificate as I had to send it in before March 1st. I feel like of all bona fide proofs, an American child born 1000ft from Woodward Avenue in the Metro Detroit area is ironclad evidence. Should I get a copy of her birth certificate and upload it to the portal as unsolicited evidence, or is a hospital confirmation enough?

Hoping for a quick one this time around!

Birth cert is preferred. It should list both parents AFAIK.

When you get the copy of the birth certificate, scan it and upload it in the portal under "Unsolicited Evidence". There is a category you can select for the document called "Bona Fides of Relationship"

Updated timeline:

 

02/14/2025: Sent out I-751 to Phoenix lockbox
02/15/2025: I-751 arrived at Phoenix lockbox

02/21/2025: E-Notification of Application received through text. Case was created 02/18/2025

02/25/2025: USPS Money Order was cashed by USCIS

02/27/2025: Case Status changed to “Biometrics Appointment Was Scheduled, NoA1/extension letter arrived by mail with no online access code. I applied for new online access code on myUSCIS

02/28/2025: Email with USCIS Online Access Code sent out to me in the morning. I was able to attach my receipt notice # to my USCIS account and view what date my biometrics was scheduled on

03/01/2025: Biometrics appointment arrived by mail

03/26/2025: Biometrics appointment

 

Was surprised with how far out the biometrics was scheduled, but I’m guessing it’s because we live at a border town, so it must be busier.

 

We will be traveling outside of the US on March 29th, so I’m glad that I won’t have to worry about the biometrics being scheduled during our travel.

 

03/26/2025: Case status changed to “Case is being actively reviewed by USCIS”, immediately after biometrics were taken. Granted, I know it means nothing. The waiting game begins!

Hi everyone one. 
 

I submitted my application as follows

 

2/8 Mailed i751 to carol stream

2/11 Package arrived at Carol stream

2/11 I got a notification that the package was received and receipt has been sent.

 

It’s almost two months now and still no NOA. It’s not even available online. Is it normal? Has anyone experienced this?

You can inquire about the missing NOA1 at https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/ndn

It does say to wait for 60 days before inquiry though:

NOTE: Please do not submit an inquiry on a recently filed application or petition until after at least 60 days.

Congratulations!!!  It's a shame that some people have to wait more than 3 years for approval.  Good luck on your N-400.  The journey is almost finished....
