Yeah but I thought stamps were only 12 months? Or did we confirm they were 18 and I just missed it?

I believe the stamps are only for 12 months.

Yeah!! That doesn't make sense to me either.

It actually does, although I don't like the idea of giving up the expired green card either.  Basically, the stamp is the replacement for you NOA, therefore no need for your green card or NOA.

at one time you should have either

NOA + expired green card or a stamp in the passport. 

BUT it seems like it depends on the office and/or officer if they take your expired card. Again, does not make sense because all the offices should follow the same rules everywhere.🙄

I would send them the copy of the birth certificate and all THE pages of the passport. I had all the pages of now my husband passport. yes, seems like a waste of money, but better give them EVERYTHING instead of getting another ref or rejection. 

I was going through the London embassy. We were not engaged when going through the process. my fiance had a ring before my interview, but I didn't know about it, therefore, that was never included in the petition. nor did it come up during the interview process.

Didn't get the stamp - he told me in order to give me the stamp I'd have to surrender my green card, which doesn't expire for another couple of weeks anyway. But when it does expire I'll make another appointment and probably get the stamp so I can renew my drivers licence at least.

 

To the appointment I brought evidence my original application was delivered by fedex, as well as a copy of the email I was sent following my conversation with an agent on the USCIS helpline, which detailed the enquiry and reference ID they gave me. I feel like that's probably all I needed, or even just my A number and proof I sent something, to be honest. I also brought an entire copy of my I-751 application, but he didn't even look at it. 

 

There are definitely two systems, one which we and the helpline can see and use, and one that infopass officers can see. It sounds like he's very frustrated that the system is behind, and there's nothing we can do about it. He also told me they will eventually getting rid of infopass appointments (no timeline though), as it's deemed a "convenience" for immigrants, not essential (!).

so they take away the expired green card if you want to get the stamp? omg.. did anyone else had that happen?

Does anyone have the number for USCIS, please? I need to find out what is happening, still no letter.

So I have a theory about what's going on. 

 

We sent our paperwork to California Service Center in August. Our cases got transferred all over the country due to the backlog. For example my check was cashed in Arizona, some people had their checks cashed in Illinois or Texas. When checks were cashed we were given a case number (receipt number) by those service centers. Now, if you look at your receipt number, the first 3 letters tell you which service center is handling your case.  My case starts with LIN which means Nebraska SC is responsible for my case. This means that my paperwork got transferred again- from Arizona to Nebraska. 

 

Most of us have a problem checking case status on USCIS website, and USCIS agent told me yesterday she could only see my case in one of her systems but not in the other.  I think this means my case has not been processed by Nebraska SC yet and a NOA has not even been issued yet.

 

I'm not trying to spread some false rumors. I'm just trying to understand why it's taking them over 2 months to send us NOAs. Even if I'm right, where do we go from here? Next week I will be able to file a missing mail request and maybe that will finally get things moving. 

 

It is very frustrating. I feel for all of guys who have to deal with the expiring driver's license on top of all of this. Thank god my driver's license doesn't expiry for another couple of years.

that makes sense.

I just looked at September fillers thread and looks like a bunch of people who packets were received even mid-September, got the same date as me for cash being checked. So for sure, we are the unlucky bunch with our cases floating around.

That is quite strange.

My receipt number only work on Dhs web site. Doesn't work on USCIS. My receipt number starts with LIN.  

The same for me. my number also starts with LIN.

Booked infopass appointment in two weeks. Hopefully, I will get my NOA by then and can always cancel the app. but do not want to risk waiting and then not having appointments available before my travel in November.

looks like some people were saying that their care status was saying about accepting the biometric fee etc.

does anyone have this?

We received your case

You do not need to do anything at this time

We will let you know if we need anything else from you as we continue to review your case.

it is NOA. they specify if it is a REF

If one has the NOA (I-797), they don't need the infopass appointment for a passport stamp for a year or 18 months (depending upon extension period). They are not being helpful. My GC also expired, I have no DL because I still don't have my NOA. SMH.

yes, I know. but I am worried that my NOA won't come on time before my trip next month. 

My green card expires today.

I called the hotline (first time) to see what they have to say. They confirmed that they have delays in data entry but she can see that my NOA was sent out on September 29th. The 29th is Saturday so I have a hard time believing her!!!  She said that it can take up to 30 days to receive the NOA and I need to continue to wait. I asked her why my text message and email said that I will receive my NOA within 7-10 days. She said that it means it will be generated within 7 to 10 days and it can take up to another two weeks for the letter to be delivered. where on earth it takes 2 weeks for a regular letter to come within USA?!! 

She said I can make info pass appointment to get the stamp. I would need my receipt notice, expired green card and photo id.

Nothing different than the status. NOA can take up to 30 days and if nothing is received by then, call again. I tried to get more info about the infopass appt and stamps, etc. I was told I can only go to my local field office, not sure if this is true. And for finding an appointment, usually to check late at night or early in the morning and hope someone cancelled. (i needed it sooner than 14 day period) And refuse to say anything about trying a walk-in (the officer told you can attempt to try), what time would be better, etc etc. Also, I always write down their ID number they tell you right after their name on the call - just in case. 

 

If anyone needs and is in Denver, I am going to cancel my appointment on 24th in Denver office, early in the morning - let me know, we can coordinate. 

 

 

My office is in Denver. What time is the appointment? Can you give it to someone else?

I called USCIS again today, finally i got my case number but i tried to add it to USCIS Case tracker and it says INVALID. Does anyone encountered the same issue? My case number is 12 numbers & 3 letters (ex.12ABC3456789000). Not sure if I got it correctly. Can anyone let me know with the same situation? The officer said that I should receive the receipt on 28th of October.

I filed mine in CSC but it was routed to Dallas TX.  Check cashed out on 1st of Oct.

my case nr also doesn't work since Sept 28th when I got an email with the number 

I have attached G notification to my packet and I got this text today.

they claim 7-10 business days for NOA to come in the mail

Could somebody add me to the list please? thanks

great!

 Mine was delivered on 08/28.. still waiting. Wish they were done in order. 

Anyway, I added the g notification, so hoping for email/text too. 

I was just looking through some news in regards to ROC. It is from May 2018 but I would imagine the process would be the same. It says specifically do not refile unless CSC told you so (I would not listen to Tier 1) it also says you can make infopass appointment and provide proof of delivery.
