Congrats @top_secret! Do you get any email notification when the status changes? Or do we need to keep checking the website?

Any update on this answer? Thank you!

This is the first time I'm learning about unsolicited evidence. What exactly is this useful for? Does it speed up the process in any way? Thanks!

What are the different statuses that we can expect to see? So far I see these items in my status history, and I'm curious to know what are the next statuses that I can expect to see in future? Thank you! Status Date Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS October XX, 2023 We scheduled you for a biometrics appointment September XX, 2023 We received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, and sent you a receipt notice. September XX, 2023

I mailed my I-751 just yesterday, and I'm sure I'll receive the NOA by the time of my departure, so I don't think boarding should be a problem for me. So you're saying I can get a Germany visa even before I get my NOA despite my GC expiring during my time in Germany?

Thanks for sharing! What exactly is the requirement for Germany? They just need your Green Card to be valid for your return journey to the US? My green card is actually expiring in the middle of my proposed trip to EU.

Good luck, and please share an update for future reference! 🙏

Hey, I decided to just wait until I get my I-751 notice and then apply for the visa.

Thank you! But based on current processing times it looks like 4-6 weeks rather than 2 weeks. Do you know the best place to look up the current processing times? (My concern is that if this takes too long then I won't have sufficient time to get my Netherlands visa for my planned dates.)

Background: my USA immigration status I'm an Indian citizen residing in the USA with a conditional Green Card expiring in mid-December 2023 I'll submit my I-751 application in mid-September 2023, which is the earliest I can submit I expect to receive my I-751 receipt notice around end-October (based on current processing times), which will extend my Green Card validity by 48 months to mid-December 2025. Current scenario: upcoming travel to Europe and Schengen visa I'm planning a trip to Europe from late-November to late-December 2023 for which I need a Schengen visa I have a visa appointment scheduled for Netherlands (my planned first entry point) in mid-September 2023 However, I fear I may have to delay the appointment until I get my Green Card extension in end-October based on the Netherlands visa application form: Netherlands visa application asks whether my current status in the USA is “Residence permit for a fixed period” or “Residence permit with indefinite leave to remain” (screenshot) In either case I need to show that my US residence permit or visa is valid for at least 3 months beyond my travel My questions Q1 | Expediting I-751 notice: Is there anything I can do to expedite getting my I-751 receipt notice / Green Card extension, apart from applying as soon as I am eligible to apply? Q2 | Netherlands visa: Should I apply in mid-September without my Green Card extension? If rejected, I can reschedule to end-October. Also, does my Green Card count as “Residence permit for a fixed period” or “Residence permit with indefinite leave to remain”? Q3 | Other Schengen countries: Are there other Schengen countries which may not require Green Card validity for visa applications? If yes, I could alter my travel plans accordingly. Q4 | Anything else I'm not thinking of? Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer! 🙏
