Congrats! We were also approved recently. I remember you from IMBRA days.

Congrats! Here's to Vermont getting more approvals soon!

Thanks! Yes, the InfoPass basically was about asking for a stamp in her passport; which we were advised we did not need because we already had the 1 year extension letter. We did not really do anything special, just had a well prepared packet we sent them. Additionally, I had to call USCIS to have them send the extension letter about a month ago, which arrived about a week later.

Happy Holidays and wishing everyone faster approvals for the new year. I want to thank everyone on this site for being so helpful and positive during this process.

I looked at it again and it basically is a biometrics appointment letter; I got confused because it also says I-797 Notice of Action in the upper right hand corner. The heading says ASC Appointment Notice but it does not mention "Your conditional resident status is extended for a period of one year....." I noticed some people in the VSC compilation list have also not received NOAs but have received biometrics appts so I guess I am in that group.

If you need to show proof of legal status and have still not received the NOA extension letter, you can make an infopass appointment and they will give you a I-551 stamp if you explain that you never received the NOA.

Edit: Oh, and I recognized your screen name and did a post history to remind myself how I knew you. Movie pong!

Thanks again Jenn, you are of great assistance!

Yes, I remember that game, one of the better ones here.

Hi again, I just figured out that my biometrics letter should not be considered as an NOA, rather the "extension letter" should be. So the stats I have should not have an NOA date listed. I also amended that in my sig. I look forward to seeing more approvals soon and meeting some others in the same situation.

Thanks

Thanks, Jenn, I will look at it again tonight.

Just recently, we submitted our I 751 package and received our biometrics appointment letter shortly afterward. I have read throughout some of these threads that people have also received another NOA notice which they call an "extension letter". Can someone clarify this for me? I'm not sure if it either got lost in the mail, they just have changed policies, or they will send it after our successful biometrics appointment.

Thanks again for all of the great information and support, I have learned so much from this site!

Awesome and congrats! Hope to see more cards in production soon!

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I recently received a biometrics letter with receipt number and it is not working with case status online either. I found the info below on the USCIC website:

USCIS had an unprecedented number of applications filed over the summer. Our efforts to enter these applications into our systems have caused a delay in the transfer of information from our case control system to the Case Status Online system. We are experiencing delays of up to 3 to 4 weeks between receipting your application and its status being available www.uscis.gov. If you have additional questions after your information is available on Case Status Online, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

Retrieved from: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

This is what we recently sent for our I 751:

Application and fee;

• Copy of permanent resident card and passport

• Copy of our deed to our home and list of all residences

• Copy of real estate tax bills

• Copy of I-797C Notice of Action regarding change of address

• Two sworn affidavits by U.S. citizen relatives, attesting to our relationship and marriage.

• Copy of our joint federal tax returns for 2007 and 2006

• Copy of our home insurance

• Copy of our health insurance documentation and of our health insurance cards

• Copy of our joint bank account documentation with Wachovia

• Copy of electric bill documentation

• Copy of car insurance documentation

• Copy of the title of our car, showing joint ownership

• Copy of our VISA credit card statements showing a joint account

• Photos (in a Ziploc bag)documenting our relationship over time

• Copy of travel documentation

• Copy of Christmas card envelopes from friends and relatives

Our accounts and bills basically show a 2 year period; that is we produced documents for about every 6 months. Our packet was not 300 pages, but I think a bit larger than 30 pages. I think the main point is to provide enough evidence to establish a clear relationship over time. I realize some of the things I included may be considered uneccessary, but the process is moving along so far.

Can someone add me to the list, I just recently filed. Congrats to the recent approvals and thanks to everyone on this site for providing such a wonderful resource. Our stats are in our signature which I just updated along with our timeline.

If your wife's passport is in her previous name and the green card is in her married name, then a copy of the marriage certificate could also be useful.

Thanks! We feel much better about our trip now.

Thanks very much!

Hello, I think this site is a great resource!

I have a question about travel, specifically to Mexico. My wife and I are going on a two week trip to Mexico. She has her green card already and we will be applying to lift conditional status in about two months. I'm kind of confused about what we need to return to the US after our trip to Mexico. Because our trip will be brief, I think all we need to have is her green card and any other proof of id, like her MD driver's license. Hopefully, I am correct. I appreciate any guidance on this matter.

From what I have read, a reentry permit should be used for trips for six months or more for travellers with the same status as my wife.

Thanks,

Lewis

I meant all products derived from opium.

Anyone have any stats on the countries that are consuming the largest amounts of the opium?

Is Chertoff replacing him? It will be interesting to see if it really makes any difference.

"if you can". You have to! I wonder though how someone would explain doing away with that program to a single mother who relies on the extra income during term time to make her monthly budget.

So basically you only 'benefit' if you're dirt poor. Taking that away... what is that? Punishment?

Reliance is the same as slavery. One should never rely on another. Make your bed? sleep in it.

I guess that makes me a slave to the electric company in order to post this electronic message.
