Hello,

 

We filed our our I-751 almost 2 years ago, before the initial 2 year Permanent Residence Expired. We received a notice of a 2 year extension not long after, but have heard nothing since.  We got notice the driver's license will soon expire.  When checking the case online it just states the Case was updated to Show Fingerprints taken, which was shortly after filing.

 

We have moved since submitting the paperwork and filed the documents stating we have moved, but didn't receive any updates.  The UCSIS website says it's taking 28.5 months to process through the Potomac Center which is past our expiration date. Has this happened to anyone else yet? Is there anyone we can reach out to? I've tried calling any contact number I can find and submitting case inquiries online but receive nothing back.

 

Any help or insight is very much appreciated.    We have another child on the way and with all our documents expiring it is adding some stress.

You did not get a 48 month extension letter?

We have not unless it went to our old address. Last we received was a 24 month.

I would call USCIS and ask for your 48 month letter.

Very much appreciate the insight!  Do you know of the best number to call or what to say to bypass the machine? I haven't had luck getting a real person or maybe I'm saying the wrong stuff to get the machine to help me.

Unfortunately, they aren't much of a help. I'm in a similar situation, didn't receive a 48-month extension letter. I already sent two e-requests about a missing form (no response), called 4 different people (Tier 2, infopass), and two of them said the only thing they  can do is submit a e-request for me but because I already had one pending they couldn't. Another two told me they can get someone from my local office to contact me regarding a I-551 stamp. Eventually, I got someone from San Francisco field office to call me and they sent me a paper saying that my I-551 is approved, and I will be receiving it via mail in the next week or two. I still don't know why I can't get my 48-months extension. I was also told that my second e-request was already assigned to an officer, but it's been 3 weeks now and I kinda doubt that officer will respond in the next week before the request expires again.

 

Anyway, you can tell I'm full of frustration :D

@Olga&Jared did for example, but that didn't seem to have effect on I-751 just yet.

True. My I-751 was transferred to NBC shortly after filing but nothing else happened.

My wife's I-751 sat at MSC for 40 months...until she filed her N-400.  Then it took 4 more months for approval.

Geez that's a long time! It probably also depends on a local office. San Francisco one is slow and random. Some people who filed in December 2022-January 2023 got their interviews in April-May while others who filed earlier are still waiting. It also seems like they prioritize cases based on a 5 year rule for citizenship.
