Hi, i have a question please help. ROC extension letter came on 8/11/2020 since then nothing happening still waiting for Biometrics. I came here as LPR spouse of a US Citizen . I have  submitted my ROC application on 7/23/20  ,  do still they can use my old finger prints on my file? and i have to travel in couple of months also, i am worried to travel on Extension letter , do i need I-551 Stamp to travel and come back?. my service center is MSC. All help will be appreciated...take care bye.

Hi,

It is up to USCIS whether to reuse your old prints. If you were printer in the states you have a good chance of getting them waived but only they will make that decision. MSC is a little slow too. You can travel on the extension letter. Right now 551 stamps are only done for emergencies and travel is not one of them as you have a letter. Hope you hear about your Biometrics soon.

From what I’ve seen on the Facebook group people have said because of COVID-19 most service centers have a backlog of 3 months for biometrics appointment. So hopefully you get your biometrics letter soon. It seems if you did your fingerprints outside the US you’ll most likely have to get them done again here in the US. I’m also at MSC and I only filed mine sep 11 so I have a long time to wait it seems.  You’ll be fine traveling with your extension letter and expired or soon to be expired green card a lot of people have done it and didn’t have a problem. You can only get the I-551 stamp if both of the GC and extension letter expired and you still waiting for approval.

I was going to send money order, but didn't because this news release kind of scared me : https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees/uscis-updates-fee-payment-system-used-in-field-offices

My package was received on Sept 24th, just called USCIS on Oct 2nd, check was cashed on the 1st.

I need some advise on this.

I sent out my I-751 application on 11th, it reached lockbox on 14th. And then no radio signals after that. Complete silence. I have called up USCIS every single day for the past one week and they dont have it in their system. I was told it should take 3 weeks for it to come back and I checked my mail today, nothing has been returned.

What should I do ? Redo the whole package again and sent it or wait for more time. If it helps, I used a fee waiver but would it delay a receipt on that by 3 weeks ?

Hi there! 
We got our I-797 today. My husband (green card holder) is listed as the petitioner and beneficiary. Is that normal?
