I really don’t know what to, my Greencard expires in 53 days and I send all the paperwork , form I-751 to remove condition and they didn’t even  cash the check yet, I work as a Flight Attendant and I fly internationally every week, I am already having problems to go back to USA every time I leave the country. Any suggestions on what should I do ? I try to call USCIS but it seems impossible to talk to a person on the phone is always the machine, maybe I should schedule an appointment ? 

If someone is in a similar situation please let me know what did you do 

 

thank you

Yeah, when did you send in your documents? If it was more than a week ago, but less than a month I suspect you forgot to include something in your packet, and they're sending it back to you. That happened last year with my wife's petition. 

 

If it's been more than a month, I recommend setting up an infopass appointment since talking to them hasn't helped at all.

You shouldn't have any issues entering the US if your green card is still valid (and it looks like it is). 

 

It would help if you'd say when did you file your ROC. 

 

I'm sure you know approval takes a long time anywhere from 12 to 20 months.

Why are you having problems when your current 2yr card is still valid?

CR1 / DCF (London): 2012 / 2013 (4 months from I-130 petition to visa in hand)

I-751 #1- April 2015 [Denied]

 

April 2015 : I-751 Joint filing package sent fedex next day 09:00am from UK ($lots - thanks). 
Jan 2017: Notification that an interview has been scheduled at a local office. Bizarrely still no RFE... 
Jan 2017: 2hr wait, then interview terminated before it began, due to moving my ID to another state 2 wks prior. New interview 'in a few months...maybe.'   Informed them that divorce proceedings are underway, but not finalised at this time. 
March 2017: An Interview was scheduled - marked as no-show as they didn't actually send out a notification of interview. FML 
April  2017: Filed an official complaint with the ombudsman, and have requested Senator & Congressman assistance
August 2017: Interview - switched to a (finalised) divorce waiver. Told that decision will be made that afternoon, but no problems foreseen with my case. 
October 2017: Letter of Denial received - reason given as 'I-751 petition was not properly filed'. Discovered ex-spouse made false allegations to USCIS in 2015. No opportunity given to review & refute allegations  - contrary to USCIS policy.

I-751 #2 - Oct 2017 - Mar 2021[Denied] 

 

October 2017: Within 72hrs of receiving denial notice, a new waiver I-751, divorce decree & $680 cheque, sent to Vermont via FedEx overnight 9am priority.  
Dec 2019: Filed FOIA request for full A# file
Feb 2020: FOIA request completed - entire A# file received as a .PDF; 197 pages fully redacted, and 80 partially redacted. Don't waste your time!
March 2021: I-751 #2 denied for lack of evidence. No RFE, no interview, and evidence in previous I-751 not reviewed - contrary to policy. Huge errors in adjudication.

N-400 - Feb 2018 - Apr 2021 [Denied]

 

February 2018: N-400 filed online.  $725 paid to the USCIS paperwork wastage fund

February  2019: Interview - cancelled after a four hour wait due to 'missing paperwork' on their end. Promised Expedited reschedule.

March 2021: Interview letter received, strangely dated after I-751 denial. No I-751 interview conducted. N-400 interview and test passed, given 'cannot make a decision at this time' paper due to the ongoing I-751 nightmare...

April 2021: N-400 denial received citing recent I-751 denial as basis for ineligibility, even though it should have been a combo interview 🤯

I AM JACK'S COMPLETE LACK OF SURPRISE

 I-751 Service Motion - March 2021 [Sent via FedEx & COMPLETELY IGNORED by USCIS]

 

March 2021: Service Motion request sent overnight addressed direectly to field office director, requesting urgent review and re-opening, based on errors in adjudication - citing USCIS policy, AFM and memorandums as basis for errors. This was completely ignored by USCIS.

 I-751 #3 - June 2021 - Jan 2024 [Denied]

 

IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY

June 2021: I-751 #3 (30+lbs/5000 pages of paperwork) & another $680 sent to USCIS via FedEx ($300+..thanks) .... 

June 2021: Receipt issued, card charged, biometrics waived, infopass scheduled for I-551 stamp number ten.....

Feb 2022: RFIE (no, not an RFE, a Request For Initial Evidence) received, for copies of the divorce paperwork that they already have 😑

July 2022: Infopass for I-551 stamp number eleven.....

August 2023: Infopass for I-551 stamp number twelve....

January 2024: Denial received, ignoring the overwhelming majority of the filing, abundance of evidence, and refutation of a provably false allegation. The denial also contradicts itself in multiple places, as if it was written by someone with an IQ <50.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

2024: FML. Seriously. I'm done.

I send 10 days ago, first time I send it was 98 days before expiring so they send back saying I send too early, so I send again after the 90 days. I’m gonna try to set up this info pass. Thank you

 Does your airline have domestic routes? Can you ask to just fly in the USA until this gets resolved?

I’m gonna try to talk to them or even try a company leave if possible

It is still valid but the kyoks that crew members go to say that is going to expire so I can use them anymore so I have to go true customs and that is causing delays on the flights I work for and the company doesn’t like when delays happen 

 

thank you

Because is going to expire and the machines at the airport doesn’t accept anymore if is going to expire within 90 days 

Even when you get your NOA1, you're going to have to go through the "slow line" and not the kiosks. Unfortunately you're not going to be able to use the kiosks until you get your 10-year card, which you won't get for at least a year. Maybe look into global entry?

Most airlines will put you on a domestic/restricted schedule until you receive your extension letter (I know some airlines do not fly domestic, if that is your case, then you might have to take a leave until you receive the letter); it is done by crew scheduling, or yourself while you put your bid in - check in with your base manager. It is done not only for ROC, but for US citizens crew members losing /renewing their passport.   Good luck.

Global Entry will not be approved if her GC expires. We applied for GE during ROC, they denied it because they wanted the 10 yr card. If she does the application quick enough while her current GC is valid she might get approved but once her card expires the kiosks will not accept her again because GE is not a card you scan at the kiosk, you still need to scan your passport/valid GC

I’m also a crew member traveling with the extension letter. I find it easier now than before because we can just skip the kiosk and go straight to the counter. We don’t wait in normal line like the peasants but the dedicated crew line. No problem with the officers either, it’s always a quick process and I even got ahead of other crew members using global entry.

They always ask me so many questions, and I am in my uniform, usually takes extra 40min for me even if I just go straight to the officer, I need to figure it out a way to get my passport stamped on USCIS
