Correct; the I-751s were submitted while they were in the home country. The latest I-751 case status for both of them shows to be "Case Was Received and A Receipt Notice Was Sent". Great point about uploading more evidence once we are back in the USA. Shall the new evidence consist of - residence proof in USA, more pictures, employment in the USA proof etc? Also I hope as long as the I-751 case status is "under process" we shall be okay entering into the USA next month at the port of entry ...?

Any recommendation on LAX vs SFO for the port of entry...?

Understood. Thanks. The I-751s are in process and the 48 month extension letter was received. Biometrics notice not received yet- applied in Jan 2024.

Thanks. Does that mean they would have to surrender their Greencards and start over the process again??

Hello I will be bringing back my family from the home country to the USA. I am a USC and the wife and step daughter both have green cards ( 2 year conditional green cards expired and the I551 -48 months extension letters with us) We had to be out of USA for a little over two years due to family issues. Now we all are planning to travel back to the USA. The wife applied for a re-entry permit before leaving the USA but that re-entry permit has now expired The daughter could not apply for the re-entry before leaving the USA because her physical green card was not received by the time we had to leave. Now that we are planning to travel back to the USA-- what are the chances of smooth immigration? Is the SFO port of entry any better than LAX port of entry from the immigration perspective? Thanks

We received the 48 Month extension letter on 9th Feb and still waiting for the next notice about Biometrics. Should I be concerned that it has been a month since the NOA1 and still not given the biomertics notice? The online status only shows the case received and NOA1 sent. I checked with ask emma live agent and they said - when the case is ready for biometrics they will send us a notice... It looks un-usual. Anyone else in the same boat?

Bumping to see if there are any opinions /suggestions? I am trying to reach ASk Emma /call uscis but wanted to see your suggestions/recommendations. It has been a month since we received the NOA1 and we are still waiting for the biometrics notice..... I see most others getting biometrics reuse or biometrics appointment much sooner after the NOA1.

Thanks, any updates on Biometrics appointment letter? Please ignore.. I saw that your biometrics letter was received on 2/28. thanks

Thanks for the input. Yes we wanted to get her school documents to show the changed name so we went ahead and did the name change. Now the question is - if the extension letter comes with the new /changed name and the expired green card shows the old name then would that pose a challenge while traveling internationally?

Hello We are about to submit our I751 documents in a couple of weeks. I am the USC sponsor and my wife and her daughter (my stepdaughter ) are the applicants. I have a question about the dependent daughter's name change The dependent daughter turned 18 during the conditional residency period and changed her name in her home country ( India) through that home country's legal process. While filing the I751 form can we enter the daughter's changed name ? We can also attach the supporting documents that show the legal name change done in India. Her passport is still with her old name and so is her conditional green card. We would like to get the 48 month extension letter and the 10 year green card to show her new changed name. Is that possible?

Thank you . That makes sense. Its the same date for both mother and daughter so we shall send one application with the daughter's info in there...

The guidelines mention the day that the conditional resident status was acquired.. won't that be the the date- residence since "M/D/YY" on the green-card itself? In other words would it matter if one card was delivered via the USPS on a later date than the other if both cards have the same - residence since date. "If you have dependent children who acquired conditional resident status on the same day as you or within 90 days thereafter, then include the names and Alien Registration Numbers (A-Numbers) of these children in Part 5."

I see, but the difference in the days the mother received the card vs the daughter received the card was about 80 days...
