Hi There! We just received the appointment notice for my husband's biometrics. We filed the I-751 (CR1) on May 12th. His biometrics appointment is scheduled for June 12th. Is this a good or bad sign that it is moving quickly? I was thinking we wouldn't hear anything for at least a year. Thank you! 😊

Never mind! When you said that, I realized I must be looking at something different. I see now I was looking at the Online Account Access receipt. For some reason, we haven't received the other receipt in the mail yet, but I see it in the online account and it does state an extension of 48 months. 😊 thank you!

Hi there! We filed out I-751 on 5/12/25 and received our NOA I-797C 5/23/25. I was hoping it would state an extension on my husband's greencard (2 year, CR1) as it is set to expire in July. The NOA does not mention anything about extending the greencard. Is there another step we need to complete to prove there is an extension in place? Thank you!

I (USC) am older than my Egyptian husband by 12 years. We are of the same religion, however. (I converted in 2008, long before we met). I do feel the age gap is a red flag. However, the larger red flag is hiding it from your family. It's the same as lying to them. Especially after four years. Were you planning to hopefully be approved and just fly away? I do feel it's also a red flag if she did not insist on meeting and gaining the approval of your family. Anyone who has researched even a bit of the Egyptian culture knows how important family approval is, and I think the consular knows this as well. My advice, have her meet your family in person as soon as possible and submit bonofide evidence such as photos of them together, chat logs between her and them, etc. Wishing you the best.

Hi There! We are filing to remove the conditions from my husband's 2 year green card. He entered the US on a CR1 visa in July, 2023. My question is, for the packet, we plan to include photos along with other proof of our marriage. When we originally filed for the CR1 visa, we included a good amount of photos for the first 5 years of our relationship and marriage. Do I need to include those again? Or can I simply include photos from the time he has entered the states? Thank you!
