Oh true. I became citizen as of the 17th of June. It was a VERY quick ceremony, called inside, they gave me my certificate, a quick speech Was given and it was over. Overall less than 20mins. Wishing everyone else the best of luck but I’m grateful to God this is all over. 🙏🏻

Congratulations! At this stage, I personally would be happy to get it done once and for all.

Same here! I just want mine done and over with- I don’t care if I have guests or not at this point in time as I am tired and I just need to get it done and move on with my life! Mine was rescheduled to June 18th.

Biometrics taken on 07/25/2019

Interview notice on 07/29/2019

 

Interview scheduled on 09/03/2019

 

I live in Alaska, maybe thats why my process is faster than some of the other states. (OR maybe because I am a military spouse.)

 

Since English is not my first language, I have a lot to study for the test.

 

Wish me luck!

 

Wow congratulations. That was sooo fast 

Completed Biometrics today. Status updated to We Reviewed your Biometrics... completion time was also updated from August 2020 to 11 months (July 2020)

Well for those who had zero idea they could submit online applications and submitted paper application like me, I got two NOAs: the first for me to confirm my information (DOB and address) are correct and to let them know if anything has changed and the second letter to create an account so I can check the status of my case and basically get constant updates. They included an access code which you need to create an account.

 

They received my application on June 5th (I mailed it June 3rd), I got the letter this week, I’m guessing Monday June 17th.

NOA 1 date June 7th and NOA 2 date June 11th. 

Received NOA on the 21st of June for Biometrics Appointment scheduled for July 3rd at 9am...date of NOA 14June2019 🙏🏻😃

Hi All,

 

We received and email today morning from the account on the new USCIS website that action has been taken on our case. After logging in the new website, it says “New Card Is Being Produced”. On the old website the case status still does not work for us. Our case was filed at VSC.

 

Kind regards,

ConiMoni

Awesome news!!!!! 👏 

Hi all, I filed N-400 today...well I mailed the packet today.

Not sure if you already left, but I went on a cruise in the Caribbean (including Cozumel, Mexico) in December. My GC was expired and they had even taken it away when I got my 551 extension stamp in my passport. I travelled with the NOA

and my passport w/ stamp and had no problems in any port or on re-entry to US. Didn't even have to explain the situation to anyone. Hope that helps.   

Thanks so much, yes it helps

It sounds extension letter would not be accepted by Mexico:

https://consulmex.sre.gob.mx/sanfrancisco/index.php/visas-traveling-to-mexico

 

US Residents: If your United States visa stamped on your passport already expired but you have an official document proving your legal status in USA, you must apply for a Mexican visa (I-797 A Forms, Advance Parole Forms, I-20 OR DS-2019 Forms won’t be accepted to entering Mexico), unless you have a valid Visa for any of the countries listed above (Canada, Japan, United Kingdom or Schengen area).

Thank you

If you have a passport from Latin America or any country that Mexico’ doesn’t require a visa it’s okay. You don’t need any “visa”. That rule is so weird and confusing. They don’t care where you live, they just need to know where you from and if said country doesn’t require visa then you’re good.

 

Edit: I saw the person asking is from Canada. You don’t need a silly visa. Your Canadian passport is enough. Keep the green card and letter for U.S customs.

Phewww thanks sooo much! Yes I’m Canadian! 🇨🇦 

Hey Guys, does anyone have any experience with/heard anything relating to going on a cruise to Mexico or Bahamas or outside U.S. with expired GC and the extension letter? 

I’ve traveled outside U.S a few times in the last year with both docs and I had no issues at the border (airport), I don’t know if I’ll have a different experience at the port (boat).

You just redid your biometrics? It's the same notification I got in July after redoing mine. It's a standard message following biometrics 😊

Yes, I redid the biometrics. Phewww thanks for letting me know it’s standard. 😊

Hmm I don’t know if this is good or not.... the “We will let you know if we make a decision or need anything from you”. Anyway, I received the message below, did anyone else get something like this:      

Fingerprint Review Was Completed

As of March 29, 2019, we completed our review of your fingerprints and are working on your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number WAC182XXXXXX, at our location. We will let you know if we make a decision or need anything from you. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

I received a letter from USCIS i guess thursday or friday to get my biometrics done on the 28th of March. 

Sorry. My NOA is for 18months extension

Check cashed- it’s still processing so I guess it was cashed yesterday (July 2nd), I’m out of town, won’t be able to tell the NOA date until when I return home on Thursday but I’m happy!!!!! 😃

Yay! 

Ok for anyone who resubmits:

1st mailed/submitted i751 packet May 15

Received May 17

Packet returned due to missing copy of GC June 16th

Resubmitted June 18th

Received June 20th

Check cashed July 3rd 

NOA received July 5th dated June 29th

Don’t know if this matters or not but on the envelope I sent, I included “i751 Resubmission” 

Check cashed- it’s still processing so I guess it was cashed yesterday (July 2nd), I’m out of town, won’t be able to tell the NOA date until when I return home on Thursday but I’m happy!!!!! 😃

I resubmitted mine on 6/18 (well mailed it on that date), expected to arrive La Niguel tomorrow 6/20. Wishing myself and others all the best of luck

Hi guys so yes my packet was returned, for one reason- I did not include a copy of my GC. Well it says i551. Now I have so many questions, which I’m hoping anyone can help me out with, thank you:

1. Can I send the packet exactly how it is but with a copy of the front and back of my greencard? Or do I have to complete a new one?

2. They stapled the cheque to the first page of the form, is this cheque now useless? I mean since there will be staple holes in it?

3. Will I have to wait like I waited for basically one month before it’s processed again? Or will it be faster? 

My greencard expires August 14th.

Thanks guys,
