H-M

Received 18 month extension letter in the mail today.

Finally received the "duplicate" NOA 9 days after second e-request. The date shows 4 days after second e-request, so they never mailed the NOA in first place.

After ROC approved? 
 

We color printed collages of pictures (~9 photos per page) on regular printer page. We organized the photo collages based on event, occasion or place; added the description & month/year on the bottom of the page and the names of the people in the photos. We store & share all our family photos via Google photos and it's really easily easy to create photo collages there. Then we added the text description using Microsoft Publisher (you can also use Word/Powerpoint)
 
Yes, your paralegal is right. Sorry for not making this clear in my previous post. The cover letter on top of the package was 1 page and & concise. We included the Index of Exhibits (with the descriptions of each exhibit) separately after the Form I-751 and just before all the supporting documents.
 
Here is the post with pictures of our I-751 package:
 
 

Your welcome! I believe that the lockbox made a mistake in returning your I-751 package when you filed after divorce and asking you to file it in the 90-day window. You definitely qualify to file now if your divorce is finalized.
 
When you send I-751 package again (within the 90-day window), my suggestion would be to treat it as a new filing and include all the evidence. I do not believe that USCIS scans & stores the supporting evidence for I-751 petitions. They probably scan & electronically process the I-751 form itself but the supporting evidence is stored & maintained in paper format as part of your Alien file.

Good luck!

My paralegal told me to not put in my cover letter all this description of exhibit 1 , exhibit 2 and etc like you did. Very strange.

Oh, wow! Thank you so much !!! I guess I need to add more stuff. My I-751 form with a divorce waiver was returned ( I sent it after the divorce, and immigr.wants me to send it in 90 days period time). However, each page of my documents has different numbers on the bottom of each page. Can I just add new evidence of the marriage ???? I understood they have my case already scanned .

We send documents from the beginning of marriage to present, as stated in the I-751 Filing Instructions (see below).
If you don't send documents covering the duration of marriage, you are likely to get an RFE.
 

We sent everything from the date of marriage.

Okay , then it's an original...Thank You
Yes it has a watermark and slightly light  green colored

Finally after waiting a long time, filing two requests I got my extension letter. How to recognize if it's duplicate or original?
 
 

Update!
 
I didn't get the NoA letter by the end of February as they had promised when I called them early February. By the third week of February, I submitted the e-request just to be sure they have my request in the system, and I called them again on February 23 to schedule the info pass appointment.
 
My info pass request was rejected — the appointment was deemed unnecessary because it said in their system that I was going to receive the NoA and their deadline for that was March 22. My GC expired on March 7, so there was a little bit of panic there. When I spoke with the agent to see what the consequences would be with my GC expiring and me not having any physical proof of status, they said I shouldn't be worried and there should be no problem at all because I have a valid status even though I don't have the physical proof with me, as long as I didn't break the law.
 
I finally received my NoA in the mail on March 13. Now I'm only waiting for my Biometrics.

cashed check + NOA1+ 18 months extension letter arrived in mail : 3/8/2019.
 
Will post everytime we get an update. Good luck for all of us! 🙏🏽

Came across a few of these searching bio metrics and i751.. just fyi
 
More than a few said USCIS are using the previously captured fingerprints and information for the bio-metrics data.
 
Here it is reveals that some people who filed back in December and some further back haven't received a bio metric letter from LIN and a page was created for LIN by someone..
 
 

Hi,
 
My I-751 is also currently at NSC (Receipt# LIN-xxxxxxx). Here is my timeline so far:
 
01/06/2019: 90-day ROC filing window open
01/07/2019: Sent I-751 petition to USCIS Dallas Lockbox via USPS 2-day Priority Mail
01/09/2019: ROC package delivered by USPS to PO Box
01/14/2019: Received USCIS text message with receipt number starting with LIN-xxxxxxx
01/15/2019: Check cashed, Added receipt# to USCIS account (myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov), Current Status: "We received your case, You do not need to do anything at this time"

Hi @cute_pretzel! Are you able check your case status on the USCIS website?
I get a "Validation error" when checking case status on the old website https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

Update: My case status is now visible on the old website (https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do). Previous it would show a "Validation error". Now it shows that my "Case was Received" on Jan 9. 
Not sure if this is any update (like my NOA1 being mailed out!) or USCIS simply fixing the "glitch". Still waiting for my NOA1 letter & no response from my e-request.
