I-751 March 2017 Filers

[visaqueries 111]

February 26, 2018 we were part of the "Your case has been transferred to your local office" team.  Tonight I checked, and the update for March 5, 2018 said they received our I-751 in the local office.  The case number that wasn't working initially is now the case number receiving updates.  The other one still has no updates.  We filed March 6, 2017.

Got the email others did from USCIS. Probably the most unhelpful email I've opened in my life but perhaps implying there actually was no transfer to a local office? No idea.

We are still reviewing your case and there are no updates at this time

We will notify you when your case status changes. We last took action on your case on April 7, 2017.

I don't understand it.

 

I have an approval letter dated Feb 20, I received it on Feb 24 but still no green card and no update on USCIS website. 

 

2 weeks and nothing.

I’m in the same boat as you. 

 

I got my letter on Feb 20 confirming I got approved on Feb 15 and now no idea about my GC. I’ve suppose to be travelling on the 18th. 

 

Figerscrossed it comes in time

I did stamp for the extension for 1 year and I recognized that everyone can walk in without info pass for everything at USCIS office center. There are 2 lines for people get in, one for the appointment and the other for non-appointment. Try to walk in if you can not get an appointment.

Hubby booked an Infopass on March 8th

but wasn’t getting the confirmation. When he tried to book again, thinking the first one didn’t go through, it wouldn’t allow him sayng he already had an appt. So he called USCIS to see if they could see the appt and send him a confirmation, and of course they were helpless. The guy said he doesnt handle that which was puzzling  (????) Then the guy immediately tells him he’s making a Service Request for my husband! Hubby was a little shocked and just said okaaaayyyyy. So now we’re waiting to see what happens with that. I actually didn’t think you could file a SR unless you were ONPT. Our NOA is 3/30/17 VSC.  Hubby said the guy sounded like he had no clue what he was doing - even more so than the usuals LOL. In the meantime, the Infopass confirmation arrived in his email. It’s scheduled for 3/21.  It would be nice if we end up not needing it, but for now, we wait some more.  🤷🏻‍♀️

Does the passport stamp have to be done before the 1 year extension letter expires? The 1 year extension expires in less than two weeks and I haven't been able to get an appointment yet. My husband needs to travel sometime in May.

Hi there, you don't need the I-551 stamp unless you are traveling or need as a proof for a new job or renewing drivers license. You can get the I-551 stamp a week or 2 weeks before the expiration of your GC. The extension letter you got extends your GC expiration to one year.

Honestly, you DO need it. 

Without a valid proof of status, you are OUT of status.

You need to be able to prove your status at all times, which is why you are required to carry your green card with you. But yes, practically, you would typically only need to present it to travel, get a job, or renew your driver's license.

Hi there, based on the law you are not out of status with a green card expiration if it is pending with USCIS. The I-551 stamp is a proof of your status and it is not compulsory to get it unless you need it for certain purpose as mentioned before, regards.

Will the service center give the stamp if you're past the 1 year extension letter? Green card expired 3/21/17 so with the 1 year extension letter that will expire 3/21/18. He has to travel internationally in May. I've heard conflicting info recently.

If his GC expires on March-21-18 then he definitely could get the I-551 stamp now or anytime this month or in future if his case is pending. Make sure you look for info pass appointment.

I called USCIS. T2 called me back. They said to be patient and call again in April if nothing is done.

 

What is happening? Are they all playing golf with Trump?

Any VSC March filers got approved recently? It seems like a lot of people got approved from June and July of 2017 (guessing they are just outliers). My NOA is 3/22
