That's what I thought,too.the " old" gc plus letter should be enough. And,visajourney updates estimated approval times: mine went yesterday up from March to June next year.soooooo,maybe really nothing to worry about the speed it's going 😉

Yeah, I hope everything will go smoothly!

I received my 2years Green Card in the mail box in the US, while I was visiting in France (I travelled with the "green card visa" on my passport). 

What we did is that my husband did a scan (it absolutely has to be a clear different size than the original) of the card, send it to me by mail and I had it printed. This is what I showed at the immigration, and they let me go through. 

So I think you can do a similar thing : if you show your Notification that you got the 10 years GC, and explain that the actual card is being delivered at your home address in the US, you should be just fine. 

This is a nice idea too! But I need to find someone who knows techy stuff to do it for me. Seems like I'm the one doing most of it here at home. 😄

CF: BIOMETRICS APPOINTMENT - rescheduling

 

So I am leaving the US on June 20th for 6 weeks (to visit my family). 

My biometrics appointment is supposed to be on Jun 30th. 😱

 

I just called USCIS (1 800 375 5283). Asked for an operator right away. Waited half an hour. 

A nice lady took my case. Check my identity (alien number, application number, names, dob, address,  phone, email)

She said : walk ins are not allowed (but we know most centers allow them...).

I explained my case. She cancelled my appointment. 

Told me that an agent is going to call me within 72H. She gave me the phone number the agent would be calling me from. 

And gave me a Request case number. 

 

I told her that I was coming back August 10th, and asked if it was possible to put a note on my case about that so that they would not reschedule like say early August (when I am not back yet), but they cannot put a note. 

 

I will try a walk in tomorrow. Or Wednesday since it is supposed to be the best day for it. 

And will keep you posted

 

Can you still walk in if you said they cancelled it already? And wow! I think a 30 minute wait is good enough for USCIS! Good luck! Keep us posted! 😊

Hello All

That was my concern too... my husband yesterday was like, "why did you call USCIS? Now the appointment is cancelled! We can't walk in" etc. 

 

But we went anyway and it went super well (Benefits Center at Oxnard, in California). We showed up at 8am. The security guard, after listening to my problem, asked us to talk to a lady (who was in fact the boss of the center). Super nice and warm. She said "we will take care of you in 30minutes". 

After 20 minutes she called me and another super nice lady took care of me. We did the finger prints and that was it. They stamped the NOA (Biometrics appointment letter) and gave it back to me. It took 10 minutes, so we were back on the road at 8:35am. 

 

Voilà!  A big relief.
