call USCIS and tell them you wanna talk to a tier 2 officer. don't listen if they gonna try to tell you everything i within processing time. be stubborn   and tell them you gonna kick their ### if they won't transfer your call lol

Sounds like it should work that way lol I will try calling them, the good thing is that we did get the passport stamp on time... thanks for the advice!

My NOA date is the same as yours.

Still waiting as well. I submitted the N-400 so maybe that is making it take longer...No idea.

Oh really? We didn't file the N-400, though. It's just so strange, how they work through applications... oh well, let's just keep waiting :/

Should I start to get worried that we've been skipped? 

Should I call USCIS? Any suggestions?

Our NOA date is 9/06/16 and filed at CSC...

Yeah. I hope more August filers get biometrics soon. Reading their thread today, there's been quite a lot of people getting bio letters today.

That's the good thing, slowly but surely we are all getting there!

And July ... I got mine early, but I feel for those in my group still waiting.

I wonder why some people get theirs before others who sent their packages in earlier months, hopefully there isn't any problems and it's just a matter of time...

It's all good. Congrats on your biometrics. I wasn't expecting ours so soon being at CSC.

Thank you! Oh yeah me either! Specially because the august filers have not gotten theirs, some of them at least...

Thank you, Ozgirl1981!! I tried but didn't want to mess it up...

Hello everyone!!! We have received our biomdt letter! It is for 10/11/16

We are so excited!

Did USCIS send you any notification via email?

Hello!

I could not find a thread for us September 2016 filers, is there one? If so, can someone add us to it?

We signed the form on 8-12-16, USCIS in CA received it on 9-1-16 and we received the 1 year extension letter on 9-6-16.

Thank you!

Hello! I could not find the thread for the September 2016 filers, and was also confused on which thread to include ourselves. We signed the form on August 12,2016 but sent it and was received by USCIS in California on 9/1/16. We have received the 1 year extension letter on 9/6/16. Can someone add us the correct thread? Thank you!

I would not sign for any date before the eligible date. You may get a lenient officer but you also stand a chance to get an officer who will reject your entire application because you signed for a date that was too early. If your husband is traveling, have him sign now but add your earliest eligible date instead of today's date, then mail your package on your eligible date.

Thank you, Happy Chic! I will follow your advise!

This question has been answered many times in this sub-forum. If you, the spouse, is helping the applicant/immigrant fill out the form, then you don't have to enter details for interpreter and translator unless he has zero knowledge of what the form is about and zero knowledge of what you're doing with the form. I don't think that's your case? Interpreter and translator parts are for third parties. For the I-751, the immigrant is the petitioner.

I did think others could have asked the same question, and tried looking for those threads, but could not find any... I should have looked farther back, I guess.

Thank you so much , for answering my questions!

Does it affect if the conditional resident and USC sign and date the application with an earlier date, than the 90 day period of submition of the I-751 application?

We are sending ours until August, but we are preparing it already and want to sign already, since my husband is leaving out of state to work temporarily and won't be back by August to send the petition then...

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Hello,

I have been preparing the I-751 for my husband's ROC. He speaks very little English still, so I am the USC spouse, the interpreter and the preparer of the application.

How should I answer parts 7 through 10 on the I-751?

Is he the petitioner (or am I?) in part 7?

I am the spouse in part 8 (of course)

I put myself as interpreter in part 9 and preparer in part 10, as well?

I would really appreciate your help in clarifying for me!

Thank you!

I do have another question:

How should I answer parts 7 through 10?

My husband does not speak English quite well, yet, so I am the preparer and translator.

Is he the petitioner in part 7 and I an the spouse in part 8, interpreter in part 9 and preparer in part 10?

Sounds good.

As for the wedding stuff, I'd attach an explanation that you are indeed legally married (even send a certified copy of your marriage certificate) and this will be a religious wedding.

Ok, I will definitely do that, I had thought about adding the marriage license, but wasn't sure.

Thank you!

Is that enough?

Thank you for your help!

Happy Chic, thank you so much for the information!

So, then I should put my info and sign on part 8, 9, and 10? Since I am preparing it and translating it and I am the wife, right?

Also, do you know of a way to be able to speak with someone from USCIS about our dilemma I mentioned in #6? I dont know how to figure it out, since we do need to go to that job since we have already filled out job applications and been offered jobs but they will only Last until late September and we would be back by October, I don't want USCIS to keep a different address from our home address...

Thank you for answering!

The earliest you can file is 12 August as the window opens not 3 months but 90 days before the expiration. You can file any time between 12 August and 10 November.

Your husband can travel with his Mexican passport plus GC plus NOA1 (one-year extension).

Really? That's great to know! Thank you so much for your help!

Okay, I wanted to make sure what stage your spouse was at before I start answering some of your questions.

1. You can start filing 90 days prior to the expiry date on spouse's conditional green card. It's 90 days, not 3 months. Use this calculator to find the exact date he can start filing: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/uscis-early-filing-calculator

2. When the spouses fill out the form together, and the immigrant spouse knows some English, it's not necessary to fill out the interpreter and translator parts. But I'm not sure of the answer if your spouse speaks/understands zero English and you're doing the entire translation/interpretation. For sure, I can say you don't need to hire a third party translator, you can do it as the spouse.

3. Many people have reported success in translating their own foreign language documents. I have stayed cautious and have always had mine translated via online translation agencies.

4. There's a big, big difference between affidavit of support and notarized affidavits and since you're at the I-751 stage, I'm pretty sure you're asking about the latter. First of all, notarized affidavits are not required and are secondary evidence. If you still wish to include them, they can be called affidavits only if they are notarized. Otherwise it's written statements from friends. People are divided on whether to send notarized affidavits or written statements so use your best judgment. But as I said earlier, if you have other primary evidence, there is no need to include affidavits or statements.

5. Interviews are few and far between during the ROC stage. You can be the interpreter.

Sorry! You're right thar was confusing haha

Yes, we are already married and his conditional resident status expires on November 2016, we are getting married in Mexico but through church so we can celebrate with our families that couldn't be with us when we got married here.

Also, I meant to say we would be returning from Minnesota by early October, the temporary job would only last from late July till early October, but we are not sure if we should go, because of the whole process with removing the condition...

Thank you for answering!

Hello everyone!

So, I am the USC wife who is petitioning jointly with my husband the CR for the removal of condition, his expires until November 10th, so as far as I understand we have to mail our package until August, right?

Ok, there are several things I want to know if anyone that has gone through the process or is going through it, that can help me figure out, please!

1). We have to wait until August 10th to mail the I-751, right?

2). If my husband does not speaking/read English, can I be the translator? If so, on part 7, would I put my name on 1b or 2 as the interpreter? or do we have to pay a certified translator?

Also, after putting my info on part 8 would I have to put it on part 9 as well since I am interpreting for him? And then just putting that I am not an attorney on 7a? What about part 10?

3). If we have papers in Spanish, can I translate those or do we have to go to a translating agency?

4). If 2 friends of mine are doing the affidavits of Support, do they have to have them sworn and witnessed and signed by a notary or can it only have their statements of perjury? Do I have to do one as well?

5). If we are asked to go to an interview, do we have to take a translator oe can I translate during the interview for my husband?

6). We were planning on temporarily moving from Texas to Minnesota to work as migrant workers at a company that does vegetable canning, but our address would still be in Texas since it is only temporary and we are being offered housing by the company that is hiring us. So we could not use their address as ours. Do we still mail from there and state our permanent address but that we are not returning until April or do we just stay at our home and mail from home?

7). We are getting married in Mexico on October, will he still be able to travel if he has not received his permanent card yet?

Thank you in advanced for your time and for helping me!! I dearly appreciate it!
