Thank you so much! Cant wait to end this "journey" as well...

Thank you! I appreciate the confirmation. And yes, I got extremely lucky it seems. They approved it within 2.5 months!

Having this exact issue here, debating whether to fly. Where did you get the info they can fine you? You are not doing anything illegal.

I have received the 797 which extends the green card by 48 months and have a trip to Canada planned. I just received an approval for the 751 i have filed in September and it says : "You should not travel outside the United States until you receive your new Green Card, as you may have difficulty reentering the United States. If an emergency arises and you have a need to travel outside the United States before you receive your Green Card, you may make an appointment at your local USCIS office to request an I-551 stamp in your passport that shows temporary evidence of status as a lawful permanent resident. Please be aware that USCIS field office management determines whether to issue an I-551 stamp on a case-by-case basis. To make an appointment at your local USCIS office, please visit www.uscis.gov."\ is this just boilerplate language or does this override the 797? Very confused by the contradictory language.

No it wasnt on target. Telling me to get ready for deportation because I missed an appointment is not on target, not accurate and not helpful. It was easy peasy to reschedule and to walk into an office I wasnt assigned to. Zero problem. No one tried to deport me. Maybe before giving advice that could cause someone to panic and have a heart attack, inform yourself and know what youre talking about.

Just an update for any future readers who might be alarmed by the helpful person who told me "to prepare for removal proceeding". I called the next day for reschedule which they did no problem. Despite that, I dropped into the NYC ASC and was admitted zero problem with no appointment when I told them I lived far from the assigned Port Chester one. They took my prints and thats it.

Yes thank you. Driving there first thing on tuesday.

I saw the letter on my return. I came back Wednesday. I had no idea they would send it within 2 weeks. Also thanks that was very helpful just increasing my anxiety.

Hello good people. I submitted the packed for the removal of conditions a week before going on a month long trip abroad. Upon return I went through my mail and realized I missed the appointment. From my research, doing a walk in is a good option but the office they assigned to me is far and I'm going to be this week in NYC and want to try walk in there. Does anyone know if you can go to the ASC that you were not assigned as your ASC or should I only do a walk in in the office I was assigned?

Hello Our case was created on 3/18 and we paid the same day. Two weeks later it still showed in progress so I called nvc and they assigned to a supervisor. 2 days layer the payments showed as rejected but no refund came to the account. It's been 2 days. I'm really worried they took our money and mislabeled as rejected so we need to pay again and no idea what to do. Any ideas?
