Thanks to a certain very helpful member (who actually does have a scanner) and Cap'n Ewok, the I-751 first NOA has been posted in the Gallery: I-751 First NOA

This is the letter you get when you've filed I-751 correctly, and it clearly extends your work and travel permissions while your petition is being considered.

Thank you, helpful friend!

I like the part that says "if you have not heard from us after 12 months, then you may contact us"

Yikes.

I-751s used to be a very low-priority petition when I started on this trip. Heck, it seemed like all petitions were.. I-130s regularly took 2-3 years for Service Center approval. It was not uncommon then for these cases to take 18 months.
Lately, they are going thru in the requested 3-6 month time frame.

The most important thing to remember is that once you get this letter, your status doesn't expire while they are working on you.
If you are approacing month 11 with no word, a follow up InfoPass would be in orderk, if only to get a pasport stamp for continued evidence of status.

Also, those who want to naturalize do NOT have to wait on a decision on I-751 to turn in their N-400. In fact, that used to be the preferred method for getting action on the I-751. Service had to pull the old petition up to clear the naturalization case!

meauxna,

You might want to ask Captain Ewok to check that posting and the link. It may have been over-written or something.

NOA not seen...

Yeah, all I see is a girl and something about a very sad moment.

Sorry kids; change request entered...

Fixed .

Thank you!

Does the 12 month extension start on the date your GC expires or the receipt date of the NOA letter? I've been assuming the date of the GC expiration.

Thanks!
