H-M

I just read this on an older alert by USCIS. 
 
 Since initial data entry has to be completed before a receipt notice can be issued, some petitioners and their dependents may experience a delay in receiving a receipt notice for a Form I-751 submitted to the CSC.
 
Based on this , it seems like your cases being recognized on the USCIS website is a good sign. Hopefully you guys will receive the notice soon.

My suggestion is to call back again and ask more information as well to talk to a tier 2 officer.It is so frustrating as they tell you something over the phone then something else when you go there,as it happened to me as well. 

But if you didn’t receive a notice and everything was filed correctly, then USCIS either needs to provide you the extension letter or a stamp.  You did your part - they need to do theirs.  
 
I think it’s their customer service agents - some just might not be aware.  I would fight that as much as I could.  We all need proof of our status for various reasons, top of which is that we’re legally required to carry proof of status on our person.  

Sorry about your situation. It is very frustrating and unfair.
 
It seems field offices are following different procedures regarding issuing the I-551 stamp, since there seems to be no standard USCIS policy on this. However, USCIS is obligated to provide us proof of LPR status. Since we are required to carry the proof of our permanent resident status at all times and failure to do so is a misdemeanor offense [8 USC §1304(e)]. I personally don't carry my GC with me all the time (too risky) unless I am travelling within 100 miles of the US border.
 
If you don't get your NOA1/extension letter soon, I would suggest the following options:
Try doing a walk-in at your local field office. If you are able to get in & past the security, you might be able to explain your situation (DL expiring) to an officer & get the stamp. Contact your local Congressman or Senator office & explain them your DL situation. They can help you by sending an inquiry on your behalf to USCIS regarding the NOA1 letter. Usually this gets a faster response from USCIS. Good luck!

H-M, our time lines for I-751 are within a few days of each other and we have not received our NOA1 in the mail either. We are also at NSC.  I filed an e-request for non-receipt on 2/12 and received an email 2 days ago that a copy of the NOA1 will be (re)sent and should be received in 10-14 working days. I checked our case status on the old site and it reflects this activity as well. Nothing on bio-metrics either. So, hopefully you will hear something soon. Spouses GC doesn't expire until April, so we have some time and we postponed, for other reasons, our overseas trip until next year. Trying not to worry too much about this process and just let it flow.

From I-751 instructions:
"NOTE: The filing fee and biometric services fee are not refundable, regardless of any action USCIS takes on this petition."

From I-751 instructions:
"NOTE: The filing fee and biometric services fee are not refundable, regardless of any action USCIS takes on this petition."

Did you include Form G-1145 for e-notification in your package? If not, then the first sign that your case has been accepted is when your check gets cashed.
 
If for some reason (Early filing/Not signed/Incomplete forms/Payment Issues etc) your package is rejected, it may take upto a month to get it back.

From I-751 instructions:
"NOTE: The filing fee and biometric services fee are not refundable, regardless of any action USCIS takes on this petition."

It's not that complicated. I would respond to the RFE which is a must. Get your old lease and whatever evidence you have. You only can submit what you have. I would also send them a letter explaining what happened and that you guys now are separated and going to file a divorce soon. File a divorce and whenever the divorce is finalized submit a copy to the USCIS. Don't waste time and money on filling a new petition. Just amend this petition and switch to waiver and you'll be good.

USCIS website has all the resources you need.

1) Typically Biometrics appointment notice comes after the NOA1 letter. But a lot of MSC filers received their Biometrics before NOA1 🤷‍♂️
 
2) Again typically if Biometrics appointment is not needed, then a notice saying previous biometrics will be re-used is sent. But looking at threads for the past 1.5 year, lot of filers have not received anything regarding biometrics, some have even been approved.
 
USCIS works in mysterious ways!

Sorry about your situation.
 
If you are currently separated and going through divorce, you can request USCIS to amend your petition to Divorce Waiver. In this option you do not have to file I-751 again.  USCIS will issue another RFE for your final divorce decree with an 87 day response period.

Also, here is the USCIS policy memorandum on this topic:
https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Laws/Memoranda/Static_Files_Memoranda/2009/i-751_Filed_ Prior_Termination_3apr09.pdf
 
You must respond to the current RFE you have received before the deadline. Maybe you can include the request to amend the petition to divorce waiver with the RFE, I am not sure about this. Maybe someone with more experience with this can chime in?
 
You also have the option to file a second (new) I-751 as a divorce waiver (& also pay the fees again) and withdraw your first I-751 petition.This thread has more information on this option:
 
 
Good luck!!

You guys I finally received my NOA! 😭  I was getting so anxious because I have to present my documents for new job next week and my green card expires March 10.  
Also my passport is expired and I was hoping I didn’t have to pay $120 for a new one just to get an I-551 stamp. 
Here’s my timeline:
 
Jan/11 - sent package 
Jan/14 - package delivered 
Jan/17 - text from USCIS confirming they received it 
Jan/18 - money order cashed 
Feb/17 - submitted e-request 
Feb/19 - got reply from them saying they mailed the notice (false because I didn’t receive it) and that they’ll send a copy 
Feb/25 - NOA/extension letter received
 
It's almost like some service centers need that e-request push from us to get things going to send us the NOA. I’m in California and my case is here, (WAC). 

Me too. I just checked mine and got the same result. 

USCIS recently released an updated policy on I-751 Interview Waivers.

Seems to be Nebraska based on a brief googling

JUST GOT MY NOA IN THE MAIL!
Sequence of events:
Jan 8th - Mail in application
Jan 10th - Arizona receives my application
February 6th - I still had nothing in the mail, no acknowledgement, so I called USCIS. They put in a case to resend the notice.
February 15 - Received email that they would resend my NOA (I don't believe they actually mailed it the first time)
February 23rd - Received the NOA in the mail
March 23rd - my green card expires
 
My NOA says it's an 18 month extension, so I guess they're not messing around with 12 month ones anymore. I'll probably be applying for citizenship before I heard back on this. 

Finally got official extension letter today and it feels great!

Your quite lucky they let you keep the 2yr GC! Once you get your NOA1 letter, you will get the 18 month extension since you also have your 2yr GC

Your wife (conditional green card) needs to apply for I-131A, Application for Travel Document (Carrier Documentation) in order to be allowed to board her flight back & re-enter the US. She must file Form I-131A in person at a USCIS international field office or with a Consular Section at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
I am not sure about your son with the Advanced Parole/EAD Combo card, maybe the Embassy or USCIS International office might tell what to do.

Good luck!
 

I still have my 2yr GC. I created an e-request couple weeks ago before I went to the Infopass this morning. In the email, they briefly said that they received my application and it is being reviewed blah blah blah. If I don't hear back within 60 days (from the day I received the e-request I assume), I shall call the them.

Yeah, I think you got lucky. The officer must be new or unfamiliar with the process.
I am still waiting for the NOA1 letter, no response yet from the e-request (created 02/14). It seems like no one from Nebraska(LIN) is getting anything, I see a lot of Dec & Jan filers in this situation. However Feb 2019 filers are getting their letters very quickly from Nebraska.
My GC expires on April 6, so I am still hoping to get the extension letter before that. Otherwise, I'll get the stamp also.

Oh is that so? I didn't know whether they would keep my GC once the stamp was generated. The officer who helped me this morning seems confused at some point, probably because he doesn't see similar cases like mine that often. Or maybe I'm just lucky that he just forgot to keep my GC lol. How are things going with you? Has they emailed you back for the e-request yet? Worst case scenario, make an Infopass appointment like mine in the 30-day time-frame to get your passport stamp to avoid headache and waiting.
