Update: After verifying that my case status changed to "Fingerprint Review Was Completed as of March 15, 2019", today I received a I-797 NOA dated 03/15 saying that my fingerprints and biometrics were reused.
Also, it seems like they didn't transfer my case to another service center after the change of address from the West Coast to the Midwest.

Seems like not technically a bug, as it is working as designed. The gap between "Sent" date and NOA1 date is over 4 weeks, so it fails to accept it. It is probably a sanity data validation check to prevent people from making mistakes (e.g. by accident transpose Month and Day, or enter wrong year) which would affect site metrics. What are the dates on your NOA1 ? Any idea why it took so long?
My NOA1 was issued November 26. No reason why it took so long. USCIS just didn't send me the NOA1, so I put a Service Request for non-delivery of notice through the military line and then they sent it. It happened to many of us in the I-751 October 2018 forum, some people even went to get the passport stamp because of that. It should be accepted in the website and should go to the metrics, so people know sometimes it takes longer.

Does anybody ever checks and fixes the bugs?
I've posted this one some time ago and still nothing.
The problem is with the Timeline, Lifting Conditions session.
I sent my package 18 October, 2018.
I received my NOA1 30 November 2018.
Visajourney gives me an error message because my dates are "wrong" and doesn't accept the NOA1 Date.

Hi Everyone,
Update. So they updated my case on the myaccount site and it says Fingerprint Review Was Completed. I don’t know if this was supposed to be the order of how this goes. Still crossing my fingers to have my card on the mailbox.
I hope you receive your card soon!
My status also changed to "Fingerprint Review Was Completed" as of March 15, which means I don't need biometrics, I suppose?
I am curious to know if the October group will start receiving the new GCs.

Hi Guys !
For those of you who mailed their I-751 package already, which mailing carrier is the best because it seems most people had issues mailing with USPS. Am thinking of sending mine not with USPS but other carrier . But the problem here seems if you are sending with other carrier rather than usps, you have to put on the package ATTN: I-751. And with USPS, you don't need to put that.
Which one is be there guys. Thanks

I just saw this on the USCIS website and thought it could be an option for who is still waiting for the NOA1:
source: https://egov.uscis.gov/office-locator/#/serv
QuoteUse of a Courier Service to Receive Certain Notices, Decisions or Travel Documents
Customers may be able to receive certain notices, travel documents or decisions faster if a pre-paid courier service mailer (envelope) is provided when filing an application or petition. This does not mean the case will be processed faster, just that the notice, travel document or decision may be able to get to the customer faster if a customer chooses to provide the prepaid courier envelope.
Since USCIS cannot independently verify the credit card numbers or courier account numbers of individuals or businesses, a prepaid mailer (envelope) will be required. For more information regarding obtaining pre-paid mailers, please consult with your courier service(s).
Items that may be sent via courier service include: approval notices (Form I-797), requests for evidence, notices of denial and/or intents to deny, and most travel documents. To take advantage of this service, the customer should include a completed mailer from the courier of his/her choice that complies with the following:
- Is prepaid;
- Is submitted at the time of filing or in response to a request for evidence; and
- Includes the requestor's name and address in both the "sender" and "receiver" fields of the courier mailer.
Requests for this service that do not comply with the above requirements will result in decisions being sent through regular mail via the United States Postal Service.

Hi.
My temporary green card was expired on AUG 2018 and I went to a local USCIS office to get a stamp and got 1 year additional. ( My previous Green card was taken by an officer).
A few days later, I got a letter from the USCIS that extends 1year and half of extension of my conditional resident which has to be along with my previous green card.
But the issues are,
1. I don't have the previous green card that can have 1year and half extended time( the stamp on my passport will be expired 8 months earlier than the letter approved)
2. I also got a letter from USCIS that requires additional documents which evidence good faith of my marriage.
My question is
1. How I can use the allowed 1year and half extended time without a previous green card?
2. Can I get another stamp on my passport if I can't get a permanent resident card within expired date on my stamp which is July 2019.( I just submitted additional documents)
Please help
"If you are 18 or older, you do have to carry your green card with you. Section 264(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (I.N.A.) requires all lawful permanent residents (LPRs) to have “at all times” official evidence of LPR status.
Failing to have your green card with you is a misdemeanor and if you are found guilty you can be fined up to $100 and put in jail for up to 30 days. (I.N.A. Section 264(e).)"
I suggest you go back to that office, say they forgot to give your green card back to you, and ask to have it back. Mention this law if you want to show that you know the rules.
Although it is expired they aren't supposed to hold on to it. They give you the 18 months extension letter because the processing times for the I751 are up to 21 months in some offices. So the 12 month stamp won't be enough.
The Green Card have some important information, like your A number, and it is important to have it even if it is expired.

In the Timeline for Lifting Conditions (I-751), VJ doesn't accept the NOA Date if it is more than 4 weeks from the Date Filed.
It was my case and I couldn't update my timeline, so I just listed everything in the comments...

The majority of those NOA1 dates are text messages, not actual NOA1.
My understanding is that, then, they are wrong and should be corrected so we have a more accurate information for everybody. But I know nobody has time for that. 😄
NOA stands for Notice of Action, which is the name of the USCIS form I-797C

By the way, a reminder: NOA Date = The Receipt Date on your original NOA letter.

I have not talked to a tier 2 officer, but I made an InfoPass and talked to an Immigration officer at my local field office. He said the same thing. NOA 1 was issued but could not tell me if was mailed out and he also said that I should have received by now. We doubled check the address and that was it.
I did not file a missing mail with USPS. I am registered with Informed delivery and I see the scans of every mail before it is send to my local post office. It was just not sent out.
When I changed my address we had to submit the form for my wife (the sponsor) by mail to Nebraska Service Center and received the Notice in 4 business days after they received my case. So I did get mail from LIN before.
I am surprised that USCIS just didn't send your notice! OMG they are even worse than I imagined.
When you went to the field office you didn't have you passport stamped? If you are married to a US citizen, that should be enough. Then by the time you complete 3 years of the GC you will be able to apply for citizenship even if you didn't have your conditions removed yet (what might be the case, considering the current processing times).

It really depends on who you talk, the rep I was talking to wasn't helpful at all.
She just told me that the NOA 1 was sent 11/02 and they don't send out duplicates.
I made a service request online and I was told to wait 60 days and if I don't get anything in the mail to contact them again.
I am sorry about your case. I also submitted the request online and I even received an e-mail saying they sent me a copy of the receipt notice, but the actual letter that I received was the one mailed after my phone call.
Did you try to talk to the tier 2 or even filed a missing mail search request with USPS? https://www.usps.com/help/missing-mail.htm
I know the USPS in my city is not the best, they often deliver letters addressed to our neighbors in our mail box, so I think they are the ones messing up actually. Or you could go the USPS office in your city and talk to the manager, saying you are waiting for an important document.

I am glad that my receipt # now work and track on www.uscis.gov, the site recognizes my SRCxxxxx # now, what a great relief, I will have to go stamp my passport if I didn't receive the 18months NOA in coming days. Its now 52 days of filing...
Your NOA1 might have gotten lost in the mail. I advice you to call 1-800-375-5283 to make an inquiry about Non-Delivery of Notice. You will have to stay on hold for a while waiting to talk to a representative but it is worth it. I received the extension letter 4 days after I made the inquiry.

Has anyone gotten their biometrics appointment from the California service center yet? I'm starting to get worried here.
I just checked the I-751 Filers (September 2018) Forum and it looks like they also didn't receive their Biometrics appointment letter yet. Neither did the I-751 August 2018 Filers.

So it’s 29 days now since our last update and no NOA1 or Biometrics letter. Texas service center.
the NOA1 is more for a proof on paper to show where required and I’m not too worried about that since I’m not traveling internationally anytime soon. What I’m concerned about is missing my biometric appointment because of not getting the letter from uscis. Is this a genuine thing to worry about or Texas biometric appointments are more time away for all here ?
I advice you to call USCIS and submit an inquiry for Non-Delivery of Notice. Your notice might have gotten lost in the mail. Even if you are not traveling anytime soon, you should carry with you all the documents that prove your legal status.
Section 264(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (I.N.A.) requires all lawful permanent residents (LPRs) to have “at all times” official evidence of LPR status.
INA: ACT 264 - FORMS AND PROCEDURE
QuoteSec. 264. [8 U.S.C. 1304](e) Every alien, eighteen years of age and over, shall at all times carry with him and have in his personal possession any certificate of alien registration or alien registration receipt card issued to him pursuant to subsection (d). Any alien who fails to comply with the provisions of this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall upon conviction for each offense be fined not to exceed $100 or be imprisoned not more than thirty days, or both.I didn't know this until a while ago but then I read this article: https://www.aclu.org/blog/immigrants-rights/immigrants-rights-and-detention/your-rights-border-zone?fbclid=IwAR0PV-a1uK2ttg2woNhz6Orwl3JWm4r7grv6bE0RYXJaTRznBwiRCy_L9Zw
It basically says that, anywhere in the US, the agents of the CBP can request your documents, and then if you don't have them with you... the least I can imagine is that they will follow the law and charge you with a misdemeanor.
I know this is probably not going to happen with any of us, but who knows? These are not good times for being an immigrant with a pending status in the US... So I recommend you play it safe.

Hi all,
I sent my I-751 application with all supporting evidence back at the end of october. I received the letter for the bio-metric appointment for december 12, however I did not receive the extension letter, which I understand is the standard letter USCIS sends you as well.
Can someone advise if this is fine, or should I contact USCIS to inquire about this.

I didn't receive yet. Just so you have a reference, I sent my package on 10/18 and on 11/26 and then called 1-800-375-5283 to make an inquiry about Non-Delivery of Notice for my NOA1. I also asked the representative if they scheduled my Biometrics and she said no. So I think they still didn't start scheduling those yet.

Hello Everyone,
I filed for my husband's removal of status on Oct 20 and we know that they cashed the check, however we have not yet received any kind of receipt number via mail and his removal is about to expire Jan 19. what should I do? should I call USCIS and find out what is going on? we sent the documents within the 90 days window (basically few days above Oct 20) via USPS to Dallas, TX and still have not received anything. me and my husband just had a baby and we just moved however I did not put our moving information as our permanent address is still my parent's place and our baby was only 1 month old when we filled and someone told me that it would be enough. I do not know what to do at this point. Should I call USCIS?
Thanks
Rooj
You should definetly call and say you didn't receive the notice and you should also change the address in your records with USCIS. BTW, I think they require 30 days.
Look what I found in the USCIS website: https://www.uscis.gov/addresschange
QuotePenalties for Failure to Comply
A willful failure to give written notice to the USCIS of a change of address within 10 days of moving to the new address is a misdemeanor crime. If convicted, you (or the parent or legal guardian of an alien under 14 years of age who is required to give notice) can be fined up to $200 or imprisoned up to 30 days, or both. The alien may also be subject to removal from the United States. (INA Section 266(b)). Compliance with the requirement to notify the USCIS of any address changes is also a condition of your stay in the United States. Failure to comply could also jeopardize your ability to obtain a future visa or other immigration benefit.

That's crazy when you have rights and Nobody still wants you to enjoy it. You have to explain and prove it again and again.
Companies should be well informed and trained in immigration to give a chance to legal immigrants who show up with "weird " documents like a 18 month extension letter. Lol! They just don't want to put the work of verifying. They want you to take the burden of proving that it's valid. But how?
How did you deal with the social security administration after they rejected your stamp?
I brought their own policy printed from their webpage with the list of accepted documents, including the I-551 stamp. Then I asked for the supervisor and insisted, in the end I asked for a phone number I could call to confirm the instructions I had in hand were valid, so after I insisted a lot they asked for my expired EAD card and I gave them, and with the number from the EAD they were finally able to request my SSN through their system. That was a renewal of the SSN though, just to remove the red stamp.

And yes many employers and even States service centers would have doubts about the NOA1 because there are many ignorants out there who are american citizens, they never dealt with immigration and have no idea of what is a NOA1, regardless of what it says.
You should read other threads and get the experience of applicants who had hard time renewing their driver's licenses or their work contracts because the people they faced were clueless of this document.
SOME DMV HAVE TO CONTACT THE USCIS FIRST TO VERIFY THAT THIS NOTICE IS NOT FAKE. THEN THEY WOULD RENEW A DRIVER'S LICENSE. SAME WITH EMPLOYERS. And that delays demands and applications.
You said: "The USCIS wouldn't like to have everyone going to their offices just for that." And I say, there is no such rule. There is a right out there, the right to get a stamp when all the requirements are met, and everyone is free to do so, specially those who paid $680. They should be allowed to get at least a stamp to start with. That's the least uscis can do while delaying processing time for 2 years.
I agree with you. I guess I was only thinking about using this letter to enter the country after a trip. I understand what you say and I can relate to that too. I had my I-551 stamp rejected once in the Social Security Office when I went to renew my Social Security Card. And I also had to fight with a company that refused to hire me because they didn't accept my documents.
Either with the stamp or not, I hope nobody feels scared to fight for their rights. There are even federal laws to prevent discrimination in some cases. Usually the agencies' websites have enough information about which documents are required to prove residency status.
In case of employment discrimination here are websites that helped me before:

That's a great idea. I don't know why people are worrying so much about the 18 months extension letter when you can get a i551 stamp which is even better and easy to prove your legal status with.
Many offices and employers will doubt when they see the NOA1 "we never heard about this document", but when they see the i551 stamp, it's always good, no need to explain what is it.
Why do you say they will doubt when they see the NOA1? It doesn't make sense. The USCIS wouldn't like to have everyone going to their offices just for that.
In my case, I don't get a I-551 stamp because the office is 80 miles away from me (2 hours driving, with traffic) and I do believe the NOA1 is a valid document. It clearly says in the NOA1: "Your conditional resident status is extended for 18 months from the expiration date on your Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card. During this extension, you are authorized to work and travel. This notice, presented with your expired Permanent Resident card, is evidence of your status and work authorization."

Thanks! I think everyone else was putting their text message date as NOA1. We definitely need another column for the letter-in-hand date.
🤔I wouldn't be surprised if someone else put the text in the NOA1 date. I was also confused first, but the instructions are clear: "NOA Date = The Receipt Date on your original NOA letter."
I-751 OCTOBER 2018
in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Posted · Edited by BRgirlUS
I noticed the table was outdated too, I came back to see what happened and on page 66 @Terapin quoted a table from October 2018 and then, after that, looks like @lemonatos reused that one, and from that point on, everything was lost. I might be wrong but it looks like that is what happened. I updated my info in the last table, but I don't know the best way to update the whole table. One problem is that the Visajourney timeline doesn't accept NOA1 dates past 4 weeks from submitting the package, so many of us might have this date blank on our timelines (at least that is my case).
