US Immigration from Colombia

I751 Petition to Remove Conditions has been approved. 10 year Green Card is supposed to arrive within 60 days. Wife has Expired Card with 48 month extention (through Aug. 2025) which she has been traveling with (Colombian - North Carolina) in the past couple of years with no problem. She has ticket for Colombia in one month. I have read on USCIS site whether she needs to have an I-551 stamp or not but it is not clear to me. Can she continue to travel with expired card and valid extension or does she need the I-551 stamp before another trip? Anyone with experience with this?

Hello all,

I am confused on whats next. My wife is here in the US from Colombia on I-131 visa now for one month.

My question is she has not received her green card?

Do we have to pay additional cost for it? I have search and not able to find the answer

thank you all in advance.

Good day everyone,

I could've sworn when I was doing the k1 process, I saw pinned threads with detailed information on the process for all forms/applications, or maybe being married is making me go nuts.. lol

All went perfect on the k1 and AOS -- her 2yr GC expires on 06/23/2024 so uscis calculator states earliest date to apply is 03/25/2024

I was reading about timeframes and they vary like crazy, we were planning to go to her home 03/2025 but if she doesnt have the GC then dealing with extension letter, another hassle

Where can i find a guide package/completed form?

thanks and good luck

Hi VJ's

My sister came here on work visa +10 years ago. She got married to an US Citizen around 4 or 5 years ago. She filed I130 & I485 on Nov. 17/2021. Her interview was in Tampa FL. on July/2022. Since that date her case has not any progress. Last year we checked USCIS status it says she can contact them after August 7th, 2023. We did on August 30th. Their response on Sept. 8th,2023 was: "Her application has been placed in the queue for interview scheduling. You will receive an interview Notice within 90 days of this notice. Currently no further action is required from you." We were waiting the 90 days but any interview notice was sent from them. I am asking you again for your advice. What does she need to do to try to get an answer from USCIS ASAP? because obviously her case is beyond of the processing times. Does she need to contact her Representative Legislator? or call them. Please help me with this matter.

Thank you in advance,

Hello, Me and my wife were 150% sure and confident that this morning she would walk out of the USCIS office as a "Gringa". But instead, she walked out upset, with the notice that she failed.

Of course, USCIS is very hard to get hold of anybody and when I finally did (by saying "infopass" as I read on here as a way to get a person), they were absolutely no help in stating what she needed to do.

Here is the breakdown.

The first box is marked X ; "You passed the English test and the U.S. History and government test.

Sounds good as she passed the civics as well as the reading and writing.

The next box marked X is the one stating: "You will have another opportunity to be tested on your ability to" ..........."Understand English". The understand English box was marked X.

Boxes for Speak, Read, Write were left blank as she passed those.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Then the last box marked with an X is the one stating: "A decision cannot be made yet about your application."

OK! So, any idea what she would be retested on? Afterall, the box is marked X that she had passed the English and the civics test.

It seems, on here repeating questions from the I-400 she stumbled on her phone number. She, like many of us in the modern world, couldn't remember it and she left her phone in the truck with me so a ringing would not distract. But she did state the area code which I would think should show the agent that she understood the question, just couldn't remember the actual number.

Another fumble, I think, was that she understood the agent asking, "where in 5 years" (I'm sure that's not how it was asked). And my wife replied "Colombia."

In reality, she had been out 9 times (on application), plus a 10th time in which she just got back. 6 times to Colombia and 3 to Mexico.

Other questions she repeated to me she answered correctly. Date of birth? Where born? Payed taxes? Address?

Do you think I'm right in that she should spend the next month or two studying the I-400? Or do they do the whole test over?

A bit upset as I don't see how she could have failed when it is marked that she passed. If she couldn't understand English, how did she answer correctly questions 1,2,3,4,5,6 and write a sentence correctly and read one correctly?

Just a bit frazzled right now. Any advice would be appreciated as those at USCIS aren't much help! That computer doesn't know squat!
