"expired" noa

[guy_from_russia 0]

i got a noa upon filing i-751 about my resident card extension. but it has been a year and this is about to expire. what do people usually do when their noa "expires"? do i need to do anything in advance? what to do if you have to get a new job or need proofs of legal status for something else?

you need to go to make an infopass appointment with your local office and get a I-551 stamp in your passport...

Bring a copy of this memo so that they cannot refuse to give you the I-551 stamp.

can't really find an appropriate selection for an appointment. also how long would it take?

You can file for citizenship, if that's something you want to do.

I was thinking about making an InfoPass appointment and also couldn't choose an appropriate category. So don't feel bad, I'm pretty sure you are not alone!!!!

[Marilyn. 340]

umm, pick the category.. "You need information or other services "

Read further in the I-751 guide, it gives good advice on what to do in this situation.

Keep the receipt with your green card. If by some chance you are not approved within a year you will want to make an InfoPass appointment to go to your Local Office to request an I-551 stamp in your passport. This does happen as it sometimes it takes over a year to be approved. After your NOA extension expires, this is your only evidence of legal status which you are required to have, by law. This happens occasionally, that a case takes over a year, but it's rare. Local Offices will not give an I-551 stamp is you have another type of evidence of status (ie, expired Green Card + extension letter).

I had the same problem - what type of service to request.

Ended up saying "service needed for papers already filed" - TRUE- and then "case services follow-up" although the processing dates are still before our application date. I went to Chicago office today, the officer did not ask anything about the category of appointment. Stamped the passport for 1 year. I am sure they can see this is a problem.

I did take the memorandum, and a copy of the e-mail from my Congressman (useless person!) The office I met with looked at them, but did not say anything.

Good Luck!

what is the sense of applying for citizenship if you cannot submit a valid resident card? don't you have to have proofs that conditions have been removed first?

guy from russia, read the instruction on i-751 (removal of conditions) form and the instruction on n-400 form (citizenship). also visit uscis.gov and search for removal of conditions. these three sources will answer all of your questions. you will spend 2-3 hours, but you will find what you are looking for.

also, i hope you realize that the noa expired in 1 year from the date of the expiration of the conditional GREENCARD and not 1 year from the date of the NOA.

is there a sense to apply for citizenship if it can't be approved before i-751 is approved? and yes it is my green card extension that is expiring (it has been 3 years since the time i was admitted to the us)

You can apply for citizenship while the I-751 is pending. The application forces the adjucation of the I-751.

yes, you should apply because your I-751 will be automatically adjudicated by the USCIS officer who will be reviewing your citizenship application.

when you do biometrics for citizenship will they require a stamp in the passport, so do i have to get that first or are the expired papers good enough?
