Hey folks,

 

A family friend has this anxiety inducing problem:

 

Timeline:

03/2011: Became 10-year Green card holder

10/2020: Filed Form I-90, Application to replace Green card

03/2021: Received I-797 notice, extends her Green Card for 12 Months

04/2021: Original Green card expired, but is extended by 12 months with the I-797 notice

07/2021: Received I-797C, biometrics appointment request

08/2021: Due to being locked down abroad and hospital stay, rescheduled biometrics appointment multiple times

01/2022: Biometrics appointment done in the US

 

Nothing happened since then. When can she expect to receive the green card? Also, she has no documents now for her legal stay since 04/2022 when the 12 month extension was up.

 

Her husband has the exact same timeline except he was not requested to do a biometrics appointment and he received his Green Card in 06/2021, 14 months ago for the same process.

 

Thank you all!

She can make an infopass appointment to receive an ADIT stamp if she needs proof of her status.

Log a USCIS request for "Out of Normal Processing Time" -- https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayONPTForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=onpt

 

Also, call the USCIS hotline, say "InfoPass", ask the agent for an InfoPass appointment, attend the appointment to get an ADIT stamp.  Bring the I-90 receipt notice and/or extension letter.
