    If that was the case, then my status has 'hereby been terminated' three times 🙄😂 Your status has not been terminated. Your letter is valid when used in conjunction with your expired card as evidence you are a LPR. The denial letters all have largely the same incorrect wording about your status being terminated, and are factually & legally incorrect. You remain a LPR until you file an I-407 to terminate your own status, or an immigration judge does so with a final order of removal in immigration court, at which point you are no longer a LPR. Up to that point, you remain a LPR, no matter how much USCIS want the opposite to be true. Extension letters are fine for the NY DMV.

    It isn't a requirement neccessary (as solo fiings) don't need to be excused for late filing, but if you feel the need to write a letter then do so. No need to include a copy of the withdrawal letter, as may confuse things.
  14. mindthegap
    The receipt/extension letter extends the expiry date of the card by 48 months, it is not 48 months from the filing date or receipt date. For most intents and purposes, that original filing is dead, so you no longer need to reference the receipt number, or use the extension letter. It will be the new one you need to use from now on, until 48 months from the expiry of the card. If you need to write an expiry date anywhere, it will be the expiry of the original 2 yr card.

    Yes. Check box 1D, and then in part 4, box 1a, and fill in their details, as that is who petitioned for your permanent residence. They do NOT need to sign part 8 if you are submitting this with the divorce waiver box checked - they have no involvement in the submission of this form as a solo filing and do not need to sign it.
  16. mindthegap
    You do not need an attorney to file a second I-751, and certainly not the second one you spoke to who advised you to wait until court - that one is a clown show. There is no special filing to do, it's a regular filing, same form, same documents (which you can submit later), just a different box checked. Worry about the errors they did with this cancellation later, and you can sort an attorney later if necessary. Just get one filed ASAP and get that receipt.
  17. mindthegap
    Yes - can, and should. Quickly.

    'Emma' provides you nothing you can't see yourself via my case status or that a Tier 1 can tell you. Tier 1 agents are nothing more than glorified voicemails, and can't do anything except refer you for a callback from a Tier 2 officer.
  20. mindthegap
    Correct. ie, they were full of it.

    Separate. They had denied the (third? I forget!) I-751 a couple of days prior....when they should have done a combo, and then their denial reason was that I was 'no longer a permanent resident' (not legally or factually accurate...). Zero integrity or adherence to their own damn policy. How on earth do you know the content and substance of what was said? A decade on, I still don't know the substance of what was said by my ex spouse, aside from the couple of lines of summary by USCIS in their denial letters. When I have done a FOIA and requested my entire A# file, that part has all been completely redacted. They also lied to me at interview way back in 2017 when I asked if my ex spouse had contacted them! Snakes, the lot of them...they are not to be trusted.
  22. mindthegap
    It'll either be fine or you will end up in the same situation as me....depending on what your ex spouse said to USCIS. No way of knowing in advance. I passed my N-400, piece of paper issued saying can't make a decision at this time, and it was then denied because of the still underlying I-751 issue.

    It happens. I had my N-400 interview a week after one of my I-751 denials was sent to me... They will do the interview, you will pass the tests, and they will give you a piece of paper saying 'a decision could not be made at this time'. What will probably happen then it that they will write to you, denying the n-400 because 'you are not a permanent resident' (which was the reason given to me) even though, legally, that is not accurate as you have not had a hearing with an immigration judge and a final order of removal terminating your status.
  26. mindthegap
    You didn't really think this through. Because you did the AR-11 before filing, when the I-751 gets logged, the address on the form will be the newest - and current - address on their systems... so the receipt will go to the old address. If the I-751 gets returned (payment denied or forgotten to sign or something).. it will also go to the old address.
  27. mindthegap
    You simply caculate an additional 48 months onto the expiry date of your card, and that is now the expiry date you put in. Unfortunately they don't issue 120 month extension letters, so my expiry date is now whenever my current stamp expires - I have to explain this every single time to check in agents and sometimes they have to double check with their supervisors that that is the correct procedure.. It's not an issue, just takes a few minutes. As for not bothering and just doing it at the desk, some airlines won't allow you to check in (or select a seat) until you have put in the info, so it is helpful to know how to be able to do it.

    A permanent resident card - whether unexpired or expired - IS an I-551

    To quote Alonzo (Denzel Washington) in training day: If you go for the cruelty waiver, you have to prove it. This is nothing new. As possibly ridiculous as that sounds - & being contrary to - in the age of 'believe all victims', and when combined with the fact that many forms of abuse are not even really documentable as they aren't physical (believe me, I can attest to this), it remains the case with regards to immigration law and USCIS policy. You were denied as a result of not providing documents proving this, and not producing what they asked for with the RFE. Now, what constitutes 'proof' is entirely subjective of course.., but proving someone is a terrible spouse does not prove they were abusive. Would suggest you get rid of that lawyer too, if they did not give you correct information regarding the RFE or follow your instructions in response to it.
