IR2 green card but received an I-751

[mam521 1,745]

I don’t know where this belongs on the forum!

 

Anyway, when entered the US, it was 1 day after our 2yr anniversary. Kid1 and I received our green cards with IR status, 10 year expiration. Kid2’s came as CR with 2 year expiration. I filed an I-90, submitting all required supporting documentation and Kid2 received a new green card, IR status, 10yr expiration. However, this week we received an I-751 to remove conditions on Kid2’s green card. What’s the best way to approach this? Send copies of the NOA for the I-90 and a copy of the GC to a myUSCIS inquiry?

I don’t understand.  I-751s are sent by green card holders to USCIS.  
 

Who sent you an I-751?

 

Please post a copy of what you were sent, covering up personal info.

Sorry - I-797C NOA to file I-751 ROC.  

 

Regardless, we filed the I-90 when we received the initial green card that had the CR2 status, received a new green card with the corrected IR2 status and figured everything was fine, until the NOA came in the mail. 

 

Best way to sort it out?  myUSCIS inquiry?

Call USCIS, say “info pass”, and ask for tier 2 officer.  Ask the officer to send a letter confirming that the NOA was sent in error.  
 

I doubt you will get relief. Best thing to do is for their parent to file for citizenship when eligible and then get when naturalized get each child a passport, passport card, and certificate of citizenship.

That's the plan (citizenship), but I'm not paying the ROC fees in the meantime.  The incompetence is frustrating because 2 out of the 3 green cards for our family came correct, with one being incorrect.  We all interviewed on the same date, we all entered the US on the same date.  It's ridiculous.

Even if you paid RoC fees (and I never suggested you should) the case would be denied on the basis that beneficiary is not a conditional LPR.   The people who process I-751 cases seems to be the most gifted when it comes to math skills at USCIS.

Wonder if they round up the group and shuffle them off.  "I'm gonna give you a letter so you can form two groups".  Goes through "A, B, A, B, A, B.  Alright, now split into your groups.  A Group, you're going to work for USCIS.  B Group, you're working for the SSA."

Based on how SSA has managed Covid, I’m sure that is not the case

Make it three! The third group would be people that work at the DMV. I had the most horrible experience there. I went to renew my DL about three weeks before submitting my AOS. Of course, I had to take my passport. Once I left the office, I couldn't find it anywhere, so I went back to look for it. The lady at the front desk said that all documents lost and found go to her and "nobody brought me anything". I requested to speak to the guy at window 10 and she denied my request. Came back home and still my passport was missing. So I went again the next day and told them that I was not going to leave until they let me talk to the guy at window 10. Guess where my passport was?

 

SSA is a joke. I called during the pandemic (right before they decided to open their offices for appointments that required a green card) and I spent nearly a month trying to explain to them what a green card was. There was no way to have them understand that that is a very important document and that I was not going to mail it. Period. So I just contacted my Congressman and he managed to get an in- person appointment for me. 

Point is, I do understand your frustration. Ugh.

There's nothing you need to do. You said they corrected and sent the corrected card. Sometimes their system just doesn't catch up to  it self.
You are good. Next is either citizen or renew cards in 10 years.

Amen to this!  

 

I made an appointment with DPS for the first week they opened during covid.  I had my application and everything in hand.  Or so I thought.  I didn't have a copy of my truck insurance that had my name on it.  The insurance card had my husband's name because well, if you run the VIN you can't see that the vehicle is insured and who the insured are on the plan or anything... . I was upset (obviously) but I was also long past the 90 days in country with my foreign license.  Luckily, there was a state trooper standing there who said don't sweat it because you have a valid license and well, no one is going to give you a hard time.  

 

Ended up booking an appointment 2 or 3 weeks later at a DPS supercenter here in TX which any local will tell you is normally a disaster.  You take a number and wait to be called like cattle...it's a demoralizing experience.  This time, however, it was wonderful!  The lady that I worked with shook her head when I told her what the other office did and said it never should have gone that way.  She was easily able to get things switched around and actually fixed some other things in the system from my previous license when I was on my work visa that would more than likely have confused the other location personnel anyway.  

 

Lowest common denominator as my husband puts it.

Citizenship application will go in January 2023.  As you're all too familiar, Houston takes forever, so I'll take full advantage of the 3 years less 90 days to get that ball rolling!

Add 1 disadvantage day on your full advantage. Do not file N400 online on the very first eligibility day. Several people have been denied at the interview due to their system error reporting they filed 91st day early.
