Hi, I am filling out my cover letter for I751. I am on an Australian passport which is under the visa waiver program. In my cover letter, do I just refer to the type of visa I entered under as "entered under the visa waiver program or do I need to call it a special name or refer to a number?

Thanks for your help

I don't think they need to know this for I-751. For I-485, yes, they need to know. I entered "Visa Waiver Program" at the time, and I remember I was sweating bullets about the whole thing. If I had to do it again, I'd go for a K-1 or K-3 rather than sweating an AOS from a non-immigrant waived visa...

Thanks for this. We used an immigration lawyer who said don't worry about the financee visa. My problem is that we have to go Mexico - my husband is in the wedding party - on Memorial day weekend...So I am rushing to and seeing if they'll take pity on me and give me a receipt asap. Otherwise I'm stuck here with our kid.

If you're already approved for a green card, you should be able to get a passport stamp at the USCIS office, even with the removal of conditions application pending. On the other hand, if you're still waiting for adjustment of status, I suspect you may be out of luck. You'd need to apply for advance parole, and I think that takes longer than a few weeks.

If they cash your cheque, doesn't that mean that they are planning to issue a receipt. I saw that they cashed your's within a couple of days of receiving it but took a while to issue the receipt.

I agree with the sweating bullets. It is pretty stressful despite being in a legitimate marriage etc.

All that the cashing of the checks meant to me was that the application in question was facially complete and went into processing. In the case of my AoS, that really made no difference because until everything was dealt with, I was kind of in limbo. I wasn't quite a tourist any more, but I sure wasn't a resident yet. For the removal of conditions, that meant that the stuff was in the system and I could go badger them for a new passport stamp to satisfy my employer. (You'd think in particular universities would know about immigration regulations...)
