    Oh I got the stamp at uscis office last week too but they gave my expired green card back after checking. I wonder why its different.

    I don't know... I wondered why as well.  My wife went without me, but with a friend.  I felt like we paid for the 2 year card we

    should get to keep it for posterity.  Kinda bummed me out to find out she had to give it up.  My wife's friend said they kept hers too when

    she got the stamp a while back.

    Congratulations on your upcoming baby!

     

    This was the same situation I was in, except replace baby’s due date with needing to travel.  I never received the 18 month letter.  

     

    At the bottom of the page where it says your office isn’t accepting appointments there’s a little paragraph that says:

     

    “If you need help with document services (such as passport stamps and advance parole) or have an emergency, call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283. USCIS representatives are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern except on federal holidays.”

     

    I called and they had someone call me back to schedule me at the office that wasn’t accepting appointments online. 

     

    As @Amhara said,  I believe whoever processed the inquiry may have just approved my case as it was suddenly approved 3 days later, the same day as my new infopass appointment, and my 10 year greencard arrived within the week. 

     

    I’ll add that I did submit an online inquiry as well but all of the above occurred before I even heard a response from them, which was about a month.  

     

     

    Thanks.  We will try to a call that phone number.  I did the online inquiry last week, but they have a month to respond.

     

     

  3. Hi,  we got the standard 1 year extension letter last year.  My wife's 2 year card expires on March 12, 2019.

    Our baby is due March 31 to April 6th - and I need to make sure we can renew my wife's NC drivers license

    as it expires on March 12th when her green card extension expires.  I tried making an appointment at

    our local office online, but the infopass system says this office is not accepting appointments.  When

    I try calling the USCIS phone number I just get a menu system that goes in circles and never gives me

    an option to speak with a live person.

     

    Does anyone know what number I can call to speak to someone about extending her current card until

    the 10 year card is approved?  I just want to get her drivers license renewed so she can get to doctors

    appointments, etc...

     

    We never got the 18 month extension.

     

    Thanks much.

    Question, which form do you all December filers use? Since I've been waiting for a month and didn't hear back from them at all...I'm wondering if it's because my form is not the correct version.

     

    I checked the files I sent them and on the top right corner of the form says that the form expires 11/30/17 (it's the 12/23/16 version), I sent out my packet on 12/20/17 with that form. 

     

    Now I go to their website and there is an updated version I either saved the perevous version in Nov and just worked on it until I sent my packet or I just didn't see the newer one at the time I sent my packet?!

     

    I used the same form you did and sent it to VSC on Dec. 27, 2017.  It was received on Jan. 2nd, 2018 and we got the NOA dated 1/3/2018.

     

    Did you track your package and see for sure it was delivered properly?

    Update: just received my package back from VSC. They wanted the updated form even though they are still accepting the old form. My only thinking is that since my green card expires after the date that they'll last accept the old form that's the reason they want it on the new form??? Perhaps anyway, my package looks awful and nothing like the one I sent in.

     

    It came in a reused priority mail envelope that wasn't even sealed it was just held together with rubber bands....lovely.

     

    Redoing it with the new form and sending it back. :)

     

     

    That's weird.  I used I-751 12/23/16 N

     

    Sent it to Vermont a few days after yours and have gotten my NOA and check cashed.

     

    Is that the form you used?

    I know how u feel been there drive me nuts.. for now all u have to do is wait n check the letter that they send you attached to ur package..its also good coz the moment u send it back, they process it right away the moment they got ur package....my noa1 date same day they recieve my package n after couple of days finally got my extension

    The USCIS site says,

     

    "12/05/17. Starting 02/19/2018, we will only accept the 12/05/17 edition. Until then, you can use the 12/23/16 edition. You can find the edition date at the bottom of the page on the form and instructions."

     

    Did both of you sign the form?  There is a place for both to sign.

    Hello all, 

    I'm Filipina and moved in North Carolina from California 6 months ago and now looking for a cargo company near Cary. My husband is Caucasian so if you just moved here as well, and your wife needs friend, let me know and we can chat. So any luck in finding cargo company that ships to Philippines? I didn't have that problem in California but since moving here, I feel like I don't have that Filipino connection anymore. 

    Hi, and welcome to NC.  Sorry about the cold cold weather this week... it will warm up soon...  LOL

     

    Here is where we ship from every year - http://orientalstoreraleighnc.com/about-us/

     

    It's $100.00 cash - I think $105 or so if you use credit card.

    Photos are a very strong piece of evidence that proves a bonefide marriage. I would be very shocked if you don't receive an RFE.  I would HIGHLY suggest sending at least 10 photos.

    I guess I'll be a test case... lol... I'll report back if I get RFE'd and how our case goes.

     

    I read an interview with a former USCIS person who worked with these applications and he said photos really aren't what they are looking for.  They can be staged and only

    prove you were together for that moment in time.  They are much more interested in comingling your financial lives and proof of that.  In a fake marriage you probably wouldn't

    risk putting the spouses name on a deed or as a beneficiary on life insurance or pay for health insurance...

     

    I will let you know what happens.

     

    Thanks

  11. Filed I-751 and evidence on Dec. 27, 2017.

     

    Vermont Service Center received package on Jan. 2, 2018

     

    Evidence Sent:

    I sent official IRS tax transcripts for the last 3 years - you can download these online at irs.gov

    copy front and back of green card

    copy of drivers license with current address

    copy of health insurance card with both names on it

    copy of last residence deed

    copy of last residence transfer deed to new owner

    current residence deed

    current deed of trust

    current home equity line of credit with both names

    current property tax bill

    home owners association showing us both on it

    I think that's about it.  I didn't bother with photos and such... as they don't really prove anything, but may

    be helpful if your other evidence is a bit thin...

    Our window to file opens on January 21st. Glad to see there's already an active thread.

     

    We've been traveling outside the country and haven't been home to receive the notice to file I-751 yet. Anyone know when we should receive it? We currently have a mail hold with USPS while we're gone. 

    USCIS mailed our notice on Nov. 21, 2017 for a Dec. 12, 2017 start of 90 day window...

  13. My window opened on Dec. 12th, but didn't mail everything out until Dec. 27th.  Vermont Service received on Jan. 2, 2018,

    so I guess I'll call myself a January filer...

    Now we wait...

     

  14. So we received my wife's green card yesterday. Much sooner than I thought and no interview required.

    That's all great.

    But on the green card it says Country of Birth - and they put USA - really USCIS? Are you kidding me?

    If she was born in the U.S. I wouldn't have paid you all that money LOL... :rofl: I want to keep this card just to

    show people...

    Her EAD work and travel card says correctly Philippines.

    Do we really need to send the card back and wait many months for a corrected one?

    Thanks for any help/advice.

  15. So, I sent in all the original paperwork on Sept. 18, 2015.

    We got RFE in early Oct. Had to order tax transcripts from the IRS,

    so they didn't get my response to the RFE until Nov. 20, 2015.

    We got he dual work/travel card in Dec.

    Today I checked our receipt number, which up to now just said we received

    your RFE response paperwork on Nov. 20, 2015.

    Today it says this,

    New Card Is Being Produced

    On March 12, 2016, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number MSC................, and will mail it to the address you gave us. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

    Does this mean the green card was approved? No interview, no other communication other than the biometrics?
