I751/TSC/CSC Experiences So FAR

[cweeks 0]

I am not much of a poster but thought I might share my experiences so far with DHS. Our I751 petition was submitted to TSC in mid July as was lots of other folks. When the check didnt clear I got concerned (as lots of other folks) and when the package arrived from CSC I knew there was a snag. Sure nuff-- Our petition had been rejected on Aug 1 (hmmm doesnt that ring a bell???) becuase the I751 FORM was not the current 2/15 or 7/30 issue!

We rebumitted Aug 9 and they at CSC have now received our recubmit with the latest form (only change appears to be a preprinted bar code) and of course the obscenely expensive new and enhanced filing fees. No checkie cleary yet.

Soo --I can verify CSC is getting the I751's from TSC and that doesnt seem to delay things much. I note the current processing times at CSC are still out at January so they are taking 8 months themselves. They have probably been deluged by filers trying to beat the fee increase and are probably taking extra special actions to reject any they possibly can to get the higher fees -- that's my view on our submittal.

Stay patient and be rigorous and things will work out. (I hope).

Thanks for your posting. I sent my package on August 7th to TSC with wrong I-751 form and I am looking out for the mail everyday to get the package back....... and restart the process with new from with barcodes (I had noticed the bar code at the bottom of the page). Only difference with you I could not beat the new fees since my greencard expired 4th November ... I had to file a few days later ........ I hope my package went to CSC nevertheless, it still looks like they process faster than TSC.

So you had some luck .....

I felt so silly in picking up the wrong form I-751 but I see now I was not the only one. I saw many postings with people who did the same thing. The funny thing is we don't even know how we did it .... since we went to the Official site ? it should have given us one of the 2 latest version,

oh well ........ As long as I have a receipt /NOA before Xmas when I go home ......... I am OK I guess,although I would be nerveous if I do not get anything before expiration date of the conditional GC.

Thank you for sharing YOUR experience,

Good luck

which form is the wrong form? I just sent my I-751 on Aug. 8 to TSC. I didn't realize there was a right or wrong form to send. So I assume that I can expect my package to come back to me as well. That really sucks!!

Just make sure you download the latest form from the USCIS.org web site. I was planning ahead and starting filling out the form way back in January and by July when I filed they had changed the form TWICE!!! The latest form has a revision date of 7/30/07 (to handle the fee increases I think) and has a bar code at the bottom.

I share your view that because DHS changes forms and doesnt make major content changes requested why should we be screwed.

Good luck.
