I know plenty of people who have done it and had no issues. When I asked about it while ago when on phone with uscis they said you can file early but that they won’t reach decision until you get decision on I-751. I mean. We are going to file in July. We shall see what happens. 

Yeah, it depends, everyone has their opinions on what you should an shouldn't do. 

 

USCIS unfortunately doesn't know its left from its right so you'll hear one thing from one officer and another from a completely different person.  So you never know who to believe lol. 

 

A lot of the cases I handle are I-212 and I-601s, along with I-485 and I-130s.  So when you're at that point, a lot has gone wrong before we can even apply for a green card for our clients.

 

In the end there's no rush for naturalization since the green card will be valid for 10 years.

I am surprised that the 18 month extension letter is still valid since you lost your physical Green Card. I was under the impression that the extension letter is only valid when presented in CONJUNCTION with the physical GC.

 

Me thinks you will suddenly "find" your GC soon, but just be careful as I've read on these very forums that once you get a stamp the extension letter becomes invalid. 

 

Just want you to be careful, that's all. Good luck!

Yeah, I think you're right. I read the receipt notice and it says "this notice presented with your permanent resident card"... which I don't have so I guess I'll just have to go back and get the stamp in a year if I still don't have my new green card.

I’ll be applying for citizenship in August and reeeeeeally hope I’ll be able to vote in 2020 election. That’s basically the only reason for me. Every rational vote counts 😁

Got the extension letter yesterday 10/25. Filed 9/19 at Dallas Lockbox, routed to Nebraska.

Marriage/ AOS Timeline:

23 Dec 2015: Legal marriage

23 Jan 2016: Wedding!

23 Jan 2016: "Blizzard of the Century", wedding canceled/rescheduled (thank goodness we were legally married first or we'd have had a big problem!) :sleepy:

24 Jan 2016: Small "civil ceremony" with friends and family who were snowed in with us. December was a bit of a secret and people had traveled internationally and knew we *had* to get married that weekend, and our December legal marriage was nothing but signing a piece of paper at our priest's kitchen table, without any sort of vows etc so this was actually a very special (if not legally significant) day. (L)

16 Apr 2016: Filed for AOS and EAD/AP (We delayed a bit-- no big rush, enjoying the USCIS break)

23 Apr 2016: Wedding! Finally! :luv:

27 Apr 2016: Electronic NOA1 for all 3 :dancing:
29 Apr 2016: NOA1 Hardcopy for all 3
29 Jul 2016: Online service request for late EAD (Day 104)
29 Jul 2016: EAD/AP Approved ~3 hours after online service request
04 Aug 2016: RFE for Green Card (requested medicals/ vaccination record. They already have it). :ranting:
05 Aug 2016: EAD/AP Combo Card arrived! (Day 111)
08 Aug 2016: Congressional constituent request to get guidance on the RFE. Hoping they see they have the form and approve!

K-1 Visa Timeline:

PLEASE NOTE. This timeline was during the period of time when TSC was working on I-129fs and had a huge backlog. The average processing time was 210+ days. This is in no way predictive of your own timeline if you filed during or after April 2015, unless CSC develops a backlog. A backlog is anything above the 5-month goal time listed on USCIS's site

14 Feb 2015: Mailed I-129f to Dallas Lockbox. (L) (Most expensive Valentine's card I've ever sent!)

17 Feb 2015: NOA1 "Received Date"
19 Feb 2015: NOA1 Notice Date
08 Aug 2015: NOA2 email! :luv: (173 days from NOA1)

17 Aug 2015: Sent to NVC

?? Aug 2015: Arrived at NVC

25 Aug 2015: NVC Case # Assigned

31 Aug 2015: Left NVC for Consulate in San Jose

09 Sep 2015: Consulate received :dancing: (32 days from NOA2)

11 Sep 2015: Packet 3 emailed from embassy to me, the petitioner (34 days from NOA2).

18 Sep 2015: Medicals complete

21 Sep 2015: Packet 3 complete, my boss puts a temporary moratorium on all time off due to work emergency :clock:

02 Oct 2015: Work emergency clears up, interview scheduled (soonest available was 5 business days away--Columbus Day was in there)

13 Oct 2015: Interview

13 Oct 2015: VISA APPROVED :thumbs: (236 days from NOA1)

19 Oct 2015: Visa-in-hand

24 Oct 2015: POE !

15 Dec 2015: Fiance's mother's B-2 visa interview: APPROVED! So happy she will be at the wedding! :thumbs:

I remember that you have to wait for a while after you sign up online.

They will send you a code by regular mail first, to make sure you are really living there.

Anyway, it's better to sign up RIGHT NOW.

👆 Let's go to this thread to discuss the timelines in Nebraska (LIN) center! 👆
