N-400 November 2024 Filers
MaceMk replied to dc35's topic in US Citizenship Case Filing and Progress Reports
Hello! Joining the thread today, after following it for the last couple of days, as we filed the citizenship application few hrs ago. We got the receipt number but nothing about reusing biometrics. We'll see if they update anything on that. Otherwise it's just another long wait (but hopefully not too long 😊). -
N-400 November 2024 Filers
MaceMk replied to dc35's topic in US Citizenship Case Filing and Progress Reports
I think processing times for different forms have always been same throughout time regardless of the rulling party or who's president. I'm not into politics much but I can really see that it doesn't affect much legal immigration. Only slow down I've seen was during covid. I see no difference otherwise. My N400 was processed in 8 months 5 years ago when Trump was president and I see same estimate right now too. Asylum and I751 always take longer than most others -
Traveling on Extension Letter?
MaceMk replied to Derwood's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Me and my husband just came back from Peru and he didn't have troubles coming back to US, he has an I551 temporary stamp in his passport plus extension notice, however Peruvian immigration didn't recognize the stamp and asked for his expired green card and proof of receipt that he has a pending application with USCIS. It took them about 30-40 mins to investigate and let him enter. So if anyone from India or China with a green card in process is wondering about visiting Peru without a visa, you shouldn't have a problem just show them a proof of your status with the notice. -
Hello! I just wanted to update on the issue with the typographic error of my husband's name on his I751 receipt and extension notice. He got infopass appointment yesterday and got the I551 stamp in his passport valid for one year. It took this whole time to actually correct it in their database and get the stamp. Just on time before the GC expires, although the officer said that name being wrong doesn't matter, they can still see his A number in the system. Now he has extension for only a year 🙂

Traveling on Extension Letter?
MaceMk replied to Derwood's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Thanks. I also saw someone saying that about Costa Rica afterwards but still not sure about Peru. I think that's the country we'll be most interested in visiting. -
Hi! How did the trip go? Did you have any issues entering Peru with extension letter? Are immigration officials and airlines flying there familiar with this letter? I know it's an old post but it's hard to find experiences online from people going to Peru specifically, with extension letter, because they only give visa free entry for LPRs to 2 nationals ( India and China) and many others don't even need visa for there. Thanks in advance!

Traveling on Extension Letter?
MaceMk replied to Derwood's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Hi there! Does anyone have recent experiences entering Costa Rica or Peru with Delta or LATAM with expired green card and extension notice? Both countries require visa for Indian citizens unless they're US residents. My Indian husband's conditional GC is expiring soon but we did submit the I751 and have the notice. Now just wondering what to expect trying to travel abroad in this case. It seems like it depends on the country and airline so just looking for the countries and airlines I mentioned above. Thanks! -
I'm sorry I thought I replied but I see now it's not posted. We're not thinking about Mexico, that was just an example. Anyway, I've read about experiences about traveling with expired GC and a notice both with and without issues with various airlines, but that was from few years ago. Can't really see anything from recent years particularly last year so I can have a better understanding and know what to expect. If anyone has or read about any recent experiences in such case and share some links I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi guys! Can you travel to a country like Mexico or Canada that doesn't require visa for third nationals (which normally would need visa for these countries) that are US permanent residents, while the actual green card is expired and you have just the notice from the I751 as a proof of status? Do immigration officials of these countries accept this notice as a proof that the person is a green card holder? What is your knowledge on this? I'd think since you're still considered a US resident it shouldn't matter but wondering if they actually need an unexpired card to show. Thank you!

Hello! Was everyone able to add their case to the online account associated with their email? We got access to the account and my husband received a code but it says that either the code or the date of birth is wrong, and they're both fine. So we cannot add the case to receive updates or online notices. Are we doing something wrong?

So we got the notice in the mail and the account access code but they have his first name wrong by 2 letters 🤦♀️😀 And I guess since it's an extension notice that is shown around for the next year or two for proof of status, it's better to be corrected sooner. Already submitted request with USCIS. So another 2-3 weeks of waiting. The letters came from Potomac service center btw.
