Thans Christy..

Yeah I just checked the mail today and the RFE was in the mail.. The date one the letter was 7/29 though.. I will post when I send the RFE response..

Thanks

Good luck. We sent about 10 bank statements (full statements, color copies) from different months over the course of the 2 year period.

Thanks for updating it. Are we using actual "date of decision" as the approval date? If so, my letter states that as 7/29/13.

FYI: I put in my receipt number on the USCIS site and looks like they already mailed my new card and it should be delivered to me on Saturday August 3rd via Priority mail.

So total time from day they received it to day I will get my card will be exactly 110 days.

Also, I didn't do an early bio. I never thought it made a difference to do an early bio... and this confirms it.

I just got my approval letter in the mail. This is so much faster than I had anticipated. Good luck to you all.

Biometrics on 6/3.

Also, I agree with the earlier poster about tracking when NOA is received. It kinda freaked me out looking at all the trackers online and noticing everyone getting theirs in a couple of days where as I hadn't received mine in like almost two weeks. So we should track when the NOA is received in addition to when it was generated.

How is this rude:

I know you are Canadian, and I am sorry to correct you, but: Yes, you can use a GC to enter Canada (along with your passport, of course.)

You didn’t say anything about having a valid passport with you (on your original post) for when you entered and you asked about a green card only.

Canada always requires a Passport or an Enhanced Driver’s Licence to enter by land, sea or air. The Green Card is not in place of a Passport, just the need for a Visa.

So does the US. So do I would say all the countries in the world. It was implied that I will have my passport. If I didn't have my passport... my bigger worry would be getting back in to the US.

But you didn't prove me wrong, you cannot enter with just a green card and I answered. You never said you planned to use a passport. You asked about an expired green card and NOA and I answered no you cannot use those to enter. Which is correct, you must have a valid passport. With your green card the passport is what allows you in with the proof of US residency.

Did I not mention the option of getting visa? Did I say something about a dog eating my passport? Of course I will have my passport with me! I travel abroad and I know you need a passport to enter the US and any other country in the world.

You didn't really answer my main issue... thanks for your insight though.

You asked if you can use your green card to enter, you cannot use just a green card. You never asked about using a passport.

I proved you wrong and now you are just being belligerent.

Please read my original post again. I WILL have a passport, an expired GC and an extension letter.

You cannot use a GC to enter Canada. It is ONLY for entering the USA.

I know you are Canadian, and I am sorry to correct you, but: Yes, you can use a GC to enter Canada (along with your passport, of course.)

This really mostly applies to people like me who, without their GC, would need a visa otherwise.

Proof: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp#exemptions "You do not need a visa to visit or transit in Canada if you are a United States citizen or a person lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence who is in possession of their alien registration card (Green card)"

So, I will be taking a cruise soon that will end in Canada. I have my I-751 NOA in hand, and by the time of my trip my GC will be expired. I know the US customs should not have a problem with accepting my expired GC and my NOA, but I am a bit worried about entry in to Canada.

I can get a visa-free entry in to Canada because of GC, but otherwise I would need a visa. Do you guys think that the Canadians are fairly aware (and may be their systems are linked with the USCIS?) to verify that my GC was extended by 1 year? Should I get a visa just in case?

When is the Receipt Date on your NOA letter? You need that date for the list

Sorry, it is 4/17... so a day after they received it.

I got my NOA today. Please update.

Check showed up in our online banking activity yesterday (app. was received on 4/16). No NOA in the mail yet... but I am not worried anymore.

After sending the package, next update is the Receipt Date on your NOA letter. So, you need to wait for NOA letter

I am aware of that, thank you very much!

What I was referring to is that my filing date (column "Date of I-751") should be 4/16 and not 4/15.

Please update my info: as I stated previously my application was mailed on the 15th, but received on the 16th.

Please add me to the list, files on 4/15 and received on 4/16 at VSC.

Btw, I see that no one who filed after me as received their NOA. But people before us received them within 3-4 days. Should I be worried about the delay?
