I-751 June 2016 Filers (Merged Threads)

I'm glad I found this thread. I was working under the assumption that the 1-year extension letter was based on its date and not the 2-year green card's expiration date. Given that our Extension Letter date is 6/13/16 I was beginning to panic.  Now it seems that we have until 9/6/17 before the extension expires.  I had scheduled an InfoPass appointment for today but decided to cancel it as it would be a waste of time. 

 

I am still not happy with this situation, however. There have been ICE raids in our community and showing them an expired GC will not help you much. I'm afraid to let my wife shop alone as a result. 

 

We also have some friends who delayed their AOS by more than 2 years, eventually applied for it and were given 10 year GC's in about 4 months with absolutely no penalties. We, on the other hand, followed the process religiously and are rewarded with no action after 12 months. The arbitrary nature of the process is infuriating.

 

For the record, our dates are:

Service Center    CSC

Applied:               06/05/16

NOA1:                 06/13/16

Biometrics:          07/06/16

Congratulations to all approvals! I was hoping to hear something, too, but looks like i have to wait more :(. My extension letter will expire in 2 days, also my drive license. I am in process with passport, so... will be as God wants.

Don't worry , worst case scenario they will interview you . I think that way you can explain officer everything, why your marriage ended and why don't you have much evidences.

Fingers crossed. I guess you just have to follow your lawyer's lead.

Hi All I was asked for more evidence back on May 30th, I gathered a whole pile of more docs and sent it off, they received it on June 2nd at the Vermont office. I'm just curious, anyone have any idea or a ballpark timeline for how long it takes them to come to a decision after asking for more documentation? I've heard as little as two weeks, but I am not sure if this is common place. Thanks!

Our letter was expiring end of June. So went to the local USCIS office after taking an infopass appointment. Painless experience, stamped the passport. They took the expired green card and letter as the stamp in passport is good for another year.

Looks like June VSC filers are finally moving! Very exciting as we are early July VSC filers. Anyone know if there is a spreadsheet of VSC filers for June so we can see what percentage have been approved?

I agree with you on this.

I also noticed you are in Oregon. I used to live in Hillsboro (Close to the TV highway) :-).

I know that area well. We're currently north of there near the airport. Love this area!

Thanks for the link. We traveled to the PH last September and almost missed our connecting flight out of Hong Kong due to the expired GC. The Air Canada (not recommended) gate person refused to accept the extension letter. We had to urge her to call her superiors before she finally conceded that it was legit. She then gave us a lecture about how we needed to have the letter with us when traveling (duh!).

 

The moral here is that nothing replaces an unexpired GC - the letter is fine up until the point you encounter your first moron.

I would hate for my wife to have to surrender her GC. Your average ICE agent knows what a GC is, but not what an I-551 stamp means. In today's political climate you need your GC to be current, and this is why the processing delay is so troubling to us.
