sudden

My Wife and I went for the combo interview here in Atlanta and It was a breeze. The IO did not care about the delay in filing of I751 at all. He just asked a few standard questions like when were married, where we lived, How many children and where we both worked" Cleared that in a few minutes. Asked about all the items in my Wife's N400, Civics, English questions and passed us and scheduled us for the same day ceremony. Our Appointment was at 9. We were there by 8.15 and were done by 12.45 and out of that office.

An update to this topic. We finally got the N400 and I751 Interview notice. Both together. It's scheduled for February and will update once completed.

My wife did not travel since last year abroad. In the mean time we have filed for her citizenship application June 2024 mentioning that we have a 751 pending. No response to either of those except the reciept notice and waiver of biometrics. Hopefully something soon..

OK. So here is what happened. We requested for an ADIT stamp and these guys did not grant an appointment right away, rather said in a confirmation with a service number that this may not need an appointment and you may get a call or an email to resolve this issue in 3-5 business days. Today we got an email saying that since you have already been issued a reciept extension for 48 months. your request does not warrant an appointment request at that time. So technically it sounds like the 10 year card is valid in it's face value. So we are going to call the uscis contact center and also talk to a reputed attorney to get some more clarity. Not the one who got his degree from a cereal box.

What would the adit stamp say.. that this stamp is valid for travel and entry within a one year period?

Thanks for this incredible piece of advice. We will get this I 551 stamp done asap..

Married on May 2019 to LPR Spouse Filed GC Application for myself on August 2019 Interview on November 2020 - Approval Granted Verbally Recieved GC on December 2020 - Should have been a 2 year card, But got a 10 year card Husband became US Citizen on March 2021. Filed a Petition I-90 Stating the USCIS error on May 2022. Recieved Denial of I-90 Petition on December 2023, With explanation stating that we did not file I-751 Filed I-751 On December 19,2023. Cash Checked Within 3 days. Recieved the reciept notice in Email on December 23rd Stating that they have granted extension for 48 Months and Biometric reuse. Travel Plans this summer, So we will file the N-400 as soon as we finish the travel.

Sure. I will post it shortly

We got an extension letter, reciept notice stating that the validity period has been extended for 48 months.. given the gc is 10 years valid, I'm interpreting this as we will have a decision for you within 4 years..incredibly stupid how uscis works. Atleast now we are a bit relieved.. we also got a biometric reuse meaning we don't have to appear for that..how often does it take for an actual decision? We are thinking of filing n400 at some point next year, if we don't get a decision by then. Thanks to all for their suggestions..

Thanks for the reassurance. Looking to get that soon..

Just an update on this. Uscis has cashed our check today. I'm thinking that is some progress after all.. 😐

On another note our packet has been delivered to the lockbox..

Thanks. My dl is unrestricted. I will file a new ss5 form for the unrestricted card. My dl is unrestricted. But will remove the ssn restriction

Yes, I have a valid DL. The SSN card says the it is valid for work only with DHS authorization. My I-9 verifiaction was done years ago when I go the green card.

Yes, I do have a valid DL. Thank you!!

We have already relieved him of his services. Should I be worried about my work authoriztion and stay?

Yes. He just asked us to file the i-90 and ignore i-751 since he said that there were cases with 10 year card issued. Regardless it was an error on our side and that's what we explained In the apology letter.

Yes. We filed it ourselves. We are not going to use his services. Unfortunately we did not file when I 90 was pending. What could uscis possibly respond in this case?

Thanks. We have already sent the packet for 751. Agreed no trips planned till we get this sorted.

Hello We got in to a tricky situation with regards to my Wife's I-751 filing. We got married on May 2019 and I was an LPR at that time( Have become a citizen March 2021), We filed our Wife's Green card and she got her's approved on December 2020. However since our marriage was less than 2 years, We were expecting to get a 2 year card, But we got a 10 year card. We raised this issue to the USCIS by filing a I-90 petition on May 2022 citing that we have a 10 year card and it should really be a 2 year card. We did check with our attornery and he said that it should be ok since there have been instances of people being granted a 10 year visa even with less than 2 years marriage and it was sufficient if we raise the alleged USCIS error. Last week, We got a decision notice in the mail stating that the I-90 was denied since USCIS did not have a record of us filing the I-751, We should have filed I-751 on December 2022, But we missed it because of this incorrect interpretation. We reached out to the attorney and explained the situation and he said, Since we filed the I-90 and he had clients file I-751 late, We can file it now with the situation and an explanation letter, We did that promptly with a ton of documents explaining our marriage is genuine and how we have established our lives together from December 2020 and the reason for the late filing with a lenghty apology letter explaining our incorrect interpretation. Although while reading through this forums, it seems like this has happened on more than one occasion, we are bit anxious about the whole situation. We have travel coming up shortly, which I'm not sure we can plan until we get a resolution here. Any experiences of a similar scenario might be helpful. Thanks much -GV
