Any positive experiences submitting I751 online?

[a89syd9a 11]

I see the recent announcement thread that I751 can be submitted online, and other than that, two threads of complaints/problems. Anyone have a successful experience submitting it online?

The online form is new, so there can be issues with it here and there. I am also curious to learn whether somebody had a good experience they can write about.

I was following a post on a different forum about this and the general consensus was pretty positive - Most were happy with their experience and also noted that they received their receipt notice with the 48 month extension, on the security paper, in the mail within a week to 10 days. Two of the commenters reported being approved very quickly (3 weeks in one case, 7 weeks in the other). I continue to scour the internet for reports as Jaycel and I will be filing the I-751 in about 16 months or so.

I just submitted my wife's 751 and supporting documents online today (12/29/2025). There was a glitch where it did not like my stitched together 751 pdf. I was forced to solve a technical issue of scanning with a bios upgrade to the printer. Scanned and re-uploaded the doc and it passed initial tests and was accepted to be reviewed.

We, too, hit a glitch - ours was oddly "resolved" by using a Mac instead a Windows computer. Submitted Dec 22nd so fingers crossed we get something in the mail soon. 

 

One downside is that we have not been able to see the new case in the account after submitting it that first day. Apparently this is common and we'll have to wait until the receipt comes for us the manually link it.😑

Same here. The submission “workflow” still feels half-baked. There’s no email confirmation for the filing or the fee payment, and without a receipt number the online inquiry system is useless at the outset.

I’m assuming the holidays (and the usual bureaucratic entropy) are contributing to the delay. That said, the published processing time is 24–29 months, which is… impressive in the worst possible way.

Some people at the Dallas office have waited longer (a couple years ago).....44 months for us from filing until approval for the I-751.  Hopefully, things are better than in 2022.
