We filed online the I-751 Removal of Conditions for my wife and stepkids in mid February 2026, green cards were set to expire in March 2026. We finally received the Receipt Notice for the application, it arrived in mid April and says that it officially extends my wife s green card by 48 months. I have two concerns about it I m hoping someone can clarify.

First, when we submitted the application on the myUSCIS portal, it disappeared after a few days and I was told by various USCIS agents when I asked about it that when the receipt notice arrived it would have the case number and online access code needed to add it back, well our case number is included on it, but the online access code isn t there. So that s something I ll have to call them again to get, right?

The second and biggest concern is that the receipt notice only lists my wife, and does not include the names of my kids on their at all. My wife s and kids green cards were all issued on the same day. They were both included on the I-751 application and both boxes checked stating that they are living with my wife and they are applying with her. So they should appear on the I-751 receipt, right? How would a CBP officer know that their green cards are extended too unless their names are included on the receipt notice? Assuming that I m right and it s a problem, what are the best steps to take to remedy this?

Thank you in advance!

Hi again,

New member here, is the 90 days to marry 90 calendar days or business days ? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have searched and can't find it.

Thanks

Hi All -

I am a new member to the group, just mailed our 129f Monday 4/22. Can anyone share the the total $ amount of US Dollars spent on this process from start to finish? Thank you so much

Stefanie

so me and my fiancee are not legally married in any way shape or from, however we have a mock/religious only wedding in the Philippines so her family had a wedding to attended to. My fiancee was the first born and the first to get married and I did not like the idea of her family not having a wedding to go to her us.

I feel mixed about using the photos as proof of our relationship. I feel like it could cause confusion and it would be better to not include it. I guessing if we label it right and make it clear it was a mock wedding, rehearsal weeding or something it would be ok.

what are your thoughts ?

Good Day - I have a general question about dropping off of passport. Does it make any difference which location you use to drop off your document? For example, if my appointment was at US Consulate Lagos, I received a 221g and have resolved and uploaded the necessary documents- would it be necessary for me to travel back to Lagos to drop off my passport or can I schedule OIS appointment and use Drop off site in Abuja?

Thanks
