I-131 ??

[marcalan 0]

Hi,  Wife's daughter, 10 year green card holder, Chinese national,  applied for an I-131 to travel to China to see her Grandpa as he was ill. Only info we have is a notice on USCIS Case Status that her biometrics was satisfied March 22, 2022. She says she never received a Notice of Action letter but we of course have the LIN # to be able to do the search so she most likely got the letter and just can't remember. She traveled to China anyway to be with her Grandpa. Now she's over there again for an opportunity and needs to get this resolved. Anyway...can I or my wife call USCIS to inquire about this? Or does it have to be her. It's been right at 17.5 months which is their estimate on processing but they also suggest way less than that for 80% of applicants. Any thoughts on this would appreciated!! Thanks!!

1A

She felt she might stay in China for over a year so she wanted to get the 131. Most think over 6 moths and you're in trouble (at least she does) but I've tried to explain that it's more critical if you want to get your citizenship and you can stay out for longer if need be. Anyway thanks for the responses!!

Unless your daughter is still a minor, you or your wife will likely not be accommodated by USCIS if you call the hotline about her I-131 application.  I suggest your daughter try the "Ask Emma" chat feature instead, to request that a PDF copy of the I-131 receipt notice be emailed to her.  She may also ask about the status of her application, but I doubt she will get any useful info, aside from what you can look up yourself through the online case check.
