Form CRI-89 or I751

[Gergana 0]

Hi there, 

In February 2016 I sent my application to remove my permanent resident status ( applying for my second green card). Later, I received a letter saying that my green card is extended for 1 more year since I am in process. I still didnt receive the green card by itself, just the letter. Is that okay?

 

Also, I tried to check the status of my case online and it was saying that in August 2016 they received my Form CRI-89, Petition to remove conditions of permanent resident status.. I went for fingerprints in October and since then I am still waiting for any update...It's been 6 months...

 

What is the processing time and how long I should wait for any update? Any information will be greatful and helpful . Thank you!

Yes, the letter you received, in combination with your expired green card, acts as an extension for one year. That is supposed to give USCIS time to process your application. 

You said you sent your application in February, but it didn't show as received until August? That seems very strange. If I were you I'd try to call USCIS and find out how they lost your application for so many months. Be ready to quote the February date on the extension letter they sent you.

 

If they actually got your stuff in February, and you filed at California Service Center, your application should have been processed by now and you can set up a service inquiry. If you filed at Vermont Service Center, they say they're still processing February so you should hear soon.

 

If, on the other hand, they didn't actually receive your stuff until August (which makes sense if your biometrics (fingerprints) appointment wasn't until October) then you're still in for a longish wait. I'm also an August filer with October Biometrics, and I'm not expecting to hear anything for a few more months, even though I am a CSC filer... they've just approved a couple of people who filed in June. And of course, Vermont (VSC) is further behind than that, although they seem to be making progress now.

 

There are threads on VJ for each month's ROC (Removal of Conditions) Filers. Here's the one for August.

Check it out!

I was also getting worried about how long my CRI-89 was taking. I did biometrics on Aug 1st. Hopefully soon!

Hi All,

          Just signed up myself here, so my situation is very similar to the question posed by Gergana above.  Here are some details of my CRI 89

 

Application filed for ROC - 5th Feb, 2016 and received extension of initial PR for 1 year from the said date. 

Fingerprinting for Biometrics - Sept 10th , 2016 ( could be 2days in front or back of the said date).

Extended initial PR through a passport stamp for 1 year at local USCIS office, when inquired about my case status, officer said it is still at the California Service center. 

Current status - Still waiting , but USCIS showing the case processing time to be that of July 2016. So has us a bit worried, I do have legal representation.  Will update fellow members here if I  hear anything from them, but until then would like to hear some thoughts, advice, and Gergana if you have any updates since you last posted , please let me know.

 

Thank you.
