i-751 visit at home by uscis

[one nation 1]

While I certainly can't speak for USCIS nor predict what decision they will make, it does seem logical to me that if they find good evidence that the two of you are indeed living a life together in the same house as husband and wife, that you have your belongings mixed in together, and you have provided them with the necessary documentation that shows how you have mingled together your lives financially and socially, that they will approve the removal of conditions and send you a 10 year green card. It seems like after 2 interviews and a home visit they have not been able to find evidence to the contrary even though they seem to have tried. I won't be surprised to hear you have received your 10 year card in the near future. That is what I think, anyways. I hope I'm right. Good luck .

Sorry, one nation. I have no idea. If you don't hear anything within 30 days after the visit, then contact your Congressman or Senator's office and ask them to investigate on your behalf. You have been more than patient.

While you should be able to do that as long as you return to the US before the I-551 stamp expires, I would be hesitant to leave the US at this time if I were in your shoes.

If you do decide to go, you would need to keep the now expired passport and use it together with your new passport to re-enter the US. You would absolutely have to be back in the US before the I-551 stamp expires and that isn't leaving much time. How long do passports in your country normally take to process? If you miss the I-551 deadline you would be stranded outside the US and it would possibly be difficult to get permission to return. You can't re-enter the US after the stamp expires, and I would feel uncomfortable travelling with it close to its expiry date as well just to avoid potential problems with re-entry.

As you need to have the I-551 stamp extended, another alternative would be to have USCIS extend the I-551 stamp in your passport beyond the validity of this passport before you leave the US. You would do this by making an infopass appointment, taking 2 passport type photographs to the InfoPass appointment, then they would make up an I-94 document with the I-551 stamp on it and staple it into your expired/expiring passport. This would allow you more time than having to get everything done by January 15, but again, if you chose to renew your passport you would have to get the expired one back and use it plus your new passport to re-enter the US.

You could also chose to let the passport expire but you would still need to renew the I-551 stamp as proof of your legal status so you would still have to follow the process with the I-94 stapled into the expired passport.

Is there no way you can get a new passport done from the US, perhaps through the services of your own country's Consulate? Given that you are still waiting to hear a decision I don't think it is a good idea for you to travel outside of the US in case a decision to deny is made while you are outside of the US. You would have no opportunity to appeal such a decision, while if you were in the US and that happened, you would have some options available to you.

any answer on the last question kathryn!!!what do u think how long FTER THE VISIT GONNA TAKE USCIS TO TAKE A DECISION!!!what is your guts telling you !!thanks

[Kathryn41 3,205]

I honestly don't know why they are taking so long. My gut tells me that you should be approved - and should have been approved long before this. Unfortunately, my gut doesn't have a vote. . I think I would really be talking to my elected representative again to see if they can find out anything further, especially if you last contacted them several months ago.

Merry Christmas to you too:-).

It is the I-94 form you want to ask about - not the I-90, by the way. Explain that your passport is expiring as is your proof of your legal status in the US while waiting for your I-751 to be approved. Explain that you need to renew your passport back home and will be away xxx date to xxx date. Say you have brought 2 photographs they can use if they need to put an I-94 in your expiring passport to prove your PR status. They may just put another I-551 stamp in even though the passport is expiring and that would be the easiest - but you are prepared for the other option as well so there shouldn't be a problem. Explain that you will get your expired passport back when you get your new one and will be able to carry both of them with you when you return to the US - the cancelled one with the I-551 proof and the new one required for international travel.

As long as you have a valid PR status proven by either the I-551 stamp in the expired passport or the I-551 stamp on an I-94 card placed in an expired/expiring passport and you re-enter the US with a valid passport and the valid I-551 stamp, even if it is with them in two separate passports, and there has not been denial of your I-751 application while you have been out of the country, you shouldn't have problems. You can explain, if asked upon re-entry, that you needed to go to your home country to renew the passport and your proof of PR status is in the expired passport so you have both of them with you. You can also explain that you are waiting for USCIS to finish adjudicating your permanent PR card - if asked.

Good luck at the infopass appointment I don't see why you should have any problems getting this done and hope you meet with a friendly immigration officer. Remember to bring your proof of travel arrangements with you to the appointment as well as the 2 photographs.

I didn't know they can show up at somebody's door just like that. I might not respond to such an invasion of my privacy in a welcoming way. Wish I could add something to your knowledge. Good Luck.
