I-751 January 2018

[frida_e 14]

I mailed our package on Monday 01/08/2018 to the CSC. Luckily, we live in San Diego so it arrived by the Wednesday and I check my bank account this morning and saw that they took out the money yay! I hope we all receive the NOA1s fairly soon. I want my hubby and I to travel domestically for his birthday, a few days before his Greencard expires 03/29/2018. This way we can tread cautiously. I hope his employer doesn’t give us a hard time once they catch on the GC expiration. They caught on a month after his EAD expired and luckily we had his GC already lol. Good luck to all of us! Hopefully next year our spouses can easily naturalize and all this BS immigration processes will be over.

My window opened up on Dec 29, but we were traveling for most of December and could only start gathering evidence on Jan 2.

 

This is such a Deja Vu... Gathering papers and stressing over the number of pages and what should be stapled and what should be paper clipped.

 

Honestly, after two years of using Fahrenheit, feet and pounds I think we all deserve expedited treatment 

Lol I still get super nervous and unfortunately over analyzing of course doesn’t help me. I keep avoiding reading what everyone sent just so I don’t panic. We’ve done this already a few times lol so this time shouldn’t be different. I hope we all receive our NOA1s soon!

That is super fast - CSC has their act together when it comes to taking the money, lol!

 

No movement on my VSC case yet - arrived on Monday 01/08/17 as well - but no payment was taken yet.

Tabea, mine arrived the same day at CSC, the check is cashed, but no NOA.

Yes, they were very fast in taking my money!

Lol they’re even faster than my landlord at processing the funds lol!

[TabeaK 516]

Yeah, I am telling myself this is a VSC vs CSC differential - to keep me from freaking out.

You will be sent an extension letter of one year for his Green Card, so you'll be fine! If your ROC isn't processed by his birthday then bring the letter, his Green Card, your marriage certificate, and all other documentation received during ROC with you to the airport. Some people have trouble at POE's because of IO's with ego's giving you a hard time, but technically and legally you are allowed to travel out of the country with your extension letter and expired green card. Also the one year extension letter would apply to his employer as well.

Jumping on the January 2018 filers bandwagon as well! I sent  my package to VSC on Monday Jan 8th and it was delivered in the morning of Jan 10th. Check is not cashed yet and haven't received any notice so far either. I did not miss this waiting game one bit, haha!

Compared to a lot of people here, our package was considerably smaller and we also filed 60 days into our 90 day window, so let's hope for the best.

Thank you for the reassurance! I know how IOs can get but I also understand it’s their job. My husband is from Tijuana, Mexico and we reside in San Diego just across the border. We go about once a month to TJ and luckily never have a hard time but I’m prepared to take them on with all our documents lol.

Joining in this group! Sent our package yesterday to VSC and it's set to arrive on Tuesday.

[Phil&Mich 36]

I sent mine last Friday and expected delivery date will be on Tuesday... it seems a lot of us will be waiting for Tuesday be done lol

[TabeaK 516]

Wohoo, my check was cashed today - never been so happy seeing $680 leave my account, at least that means they have accepted the petition. Lets see when the NOA-1 shows up.

 

[TabeaK 516]

Things seem to be rolling - my informed delivery shows a letter from USCIS should show up in my mailbox today...should be the NOA-1. We shall see tonight!

My package to them hasn't moved since yesterday. Still sitting at the USPS Burlington distribution center...
