Hey Gringa,

Glad to hear you got your NOA too!
i never recieved a blue reciept, but i don't think that's so important really. As long as this letter is here i think that's all we should worry about! I heard sometimes you recieve the blue reciept after the NOA. I'll keep you posted about fingerprinting!

Uhmm that is strange, never received the blue reciept? waoooo
Hope we could get our fingerprinting soo... and also hope Vermont could speed up

Updated!

Got biometric appointment today. It was dated 9/8 and it is schredule for June 22 @ 2:00 in Philadelphia.

Good luck to the rest!

Any body else recieve the NOA 1 extenstion letter before the blue reciept?

Any body NOT recieve the blue reciept at all?

Can some one please tell me what the blue receipt looks like? I have the letter that says:

"received $275 for form I 751 and Biometrics: Your conditinal resident status is extended for a period of one year from the date....blah blah blah"

is this NOA 1 or blue reciept?

any feedback would be great! thanks guys.

kellynricky, that is NOA1.

As far as I know NOA1 is the most important paper right now, cause that is the one that will give you the 12 months extension. I would not stress myself for the blue receipt, anyways I think the NOA1 shows on the top the fee that you pay. I don't have the blue receipt right now, but I think that it only shows that they collected the $275.00 from you for the I-751 and biometrics.

Did you get your biometric appoinment yet? You should be getting it, cause you and I always get paper work at the same time.

If I get anytime off today, I will scan mime and upload it to VJ so others could see how it looks like. I was looking around and didn't see it in VJ. Hope that will help others.

Hi,
I got my blue letter, I got my NOA (June 1st it arrived) but I have not received anything about biometrics appointment. Is this normal or do you think I should call and ask them?

Thanks.

This is just a WILD guess...but i'm thinking maybe it has something to do with the newark office because we recieved our NOA 1 on monday and still no word. Yet Gringa, who is following the EXACT same time line as me but lives in Philidelphia has already gotten her biometrics letter. Perhaps the newark office takes longer to schedule appointments. I don't know. Keep me posted if you hear anything, I'll do the same!

I applied in April at the VSC.
My timeline
I mailed my package on April 27th,
I received the Blue receipt on June 1st
On May 24 they wrote the NOA which I received on June 11th (that's the date on the letter)
On June 13th I received the Biometrics appointment for june 29th
My advice, be patient!!!! It will come sooner or later!

hi there,

just wondering where your fingerprinting office is.

thanks

Biometric done!

We got to the office like 2 hours early, I told the lady that we are coming from Reading and it's like 2 hours and 20 minutes from Philly. She just handed the paper and told me to fill it out and then give it to the other lady. There was 13 people in front of him, it only took us 1 hour and at 1:00 pm we left and got enough time to catch the next bus leaving at 1:55.

It was really nice!..

i can't help but be jealose as i have not even recieved my letter yet:( something to do with the newark office apparently. i talked to an immigration officer . anyway congrats:)

Hey guys...

Just wondering if any one has traveled into Newark International Airport with the I-751 extension letter and the old expired greencard?

Or any feed back on traveling with the extenstion letter at all would make my nerves feel much better. I heard they gave a friend of mine a hard time when traveling into JFK.

Also I am looking for feed back ....has anyone rescheudled their biometrics via mail? we had to do that because despite me stating clearly in 3 different letters that we would be out of the country the month of august they still made our appointment for the 8th of August. I sent the letter back the day we got it with a request for a change and the reason we could not show ....just wondering how long people have waited when rescheduling.

As we are now out of the country I am doubly as concerned so any feedback would be so helpful.

Thanks guys-

My wife and I came back from Italy with her expired GC. We for got the extension letter and almost got a $260 fine. The guy at the check point asked for the letter and the guy in the back room suggested that we get the I-551 stamp.

just wanted to update, I"m assuming everyone is just waiting for the card to come at this point.

Traveled back into newark no problem with the extension letter.

Got a re-schedule of our biometrics that was on Sept 6.

Appointment all done now just waiting in limbo.

Hope everyone is doing well!

all the best!
kelly and ricky

Has anyone gotten their card yet. I'm guessing from other VSC filers, those of us who filed in April should be getting the card in the mail this month?

Lumpy115, I hope you are right. From reviewing the time lines of the March filers, they received their NOAs within two weeks. For those who filed in April, the NOA dates have been as long as 30 days or more out. That would mean the second half of October and into November for approvals. Hay - for a guy, I do not mind being wrong om this one.

Goooo VSC

Hope you all are correct. I'm also assuming we all April filers will get it by this month or maybe November.

Good luck to all and I'm still waiting.

Had my card in the mail on Friday.

Good luck to all of you,
Christian

Christian,

Congratulations! I guess any day now for the rest of us.

Great news - I just checked the USCIS website and our card production was ordered on Oct 26, 2007.

I never got the automatic e-mail that we are supposed to receive when our account is updated. So if you're still waiting and you havn't checked your online status in a while, go take a look!

Good luck to all.

Same here! Card production ordered on 10/26/07. Soon all the April filers will be completed!

I got a letter today, dated 10/24/07 to say my application is approved and the card will be mailed within 60 days.

For reference, My 751 was received in Vermont on April 23rd.

I got my blue letter on May 21.

I had my biometrics done August 1.

I hope everyone who is still waiting get theirs soon.

Just got my "Card production was ordered on Oct 30, 2007" email today.

I filed on 05/07.

Receive a RFI on 08/30 and i submitted additional information on 10/08/07.

BOY I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY finally got everything done and over with.

Thanks for all the help from everybody here for giving wealth of info to help file all this paperwork.

My wife got her 10 year green card today in the mail. We want to wish all the other April filers a speedy approval!

Best wishes and we will see you when we file for the US citizenship.

Just to update, I received my new green card last Friday - 11/2/07

Good luck to everyone else.

It looks all April filers got their approval

Congrats to all. If you see my timeline we also received ours.... Thanks all for your support.

Is somebody else missing?

Got our card today!!
