Rooting for the Chiefs of course!! 🥳🥳🥳

GO CHIEFS!

I still clearly remember the day when my husband (well, he was my fiancé back then) mailed out our K1 package. I can feel the excitement even 5 years after! 

Best of luck to you! 

Congratulations!

I'm about to file I-90 (application to replace permanent resident card) and even though I did read the instructions on the USCIS website, I'm quite confused about several questions. 

To make things clear, I do have a 10 year green card (long story short: K1 visa in 2014, AOS in 2015, ROC in 2017, got 10 yr green card in 2018 - see my timeline).

Anyway, onto the questions.

Part 1. ,

14. Class of Admission - what do I write here, CF1 or IF1? CF1 was on my 2 yr conditional green card, IF1 is on my 10 yr green card.

15. Date of Admission - is this the "Resident since" date on my green card? Or is it the date when my 10 yr green card was issued?

Part 3.,

1. Location where you applied for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status: I came to the U.S. with a nonimmigrant visa (K1) so this question is about my AOS. What do I write here?

Chicago Lockbox (I believe this is where I mailed the package)

or  National Benefits Center in Lee's Summit, MO (this is where my green card was produced) or Kansas City, MO (my local USCIS office where I had my fingerprint appointment)?

2. Location where your immigrant visa was issued or USCIS office where you were granted adjustment of status: 

What do I write here? My local USCIS office is in Kansas City, MO but I never had an AOS interview because it was waived, I only went there once to get my fingerprints taken. My green card was sent from National Benefits Center in Lee's Summit, MO. 

Thank ou for answering!

Wow, my case status has just changed from "Card Was Mailed To Me" to "Card Was Picked Up By The United States Postal Service" and I also got a tracking number. I'm so excited!

Excellent!  Congrats!

Thank you!  I hope that your case will get approved real soon too! 

Update: Just received my actual I-751 approval notice (NOA2) in the mail today - it is dated 10/25/2018 and that's my actual approval date too  

Looks great! 👍🏼 Good luck with your application!

I'm a July 27th filer from csc and got approved on the 19th 

I saw that you got approved but that's why I said "mainly"... July is far from done

Imagine how us end of July filers feel. We know they are getting  closer, but can't wait to start seeing the WAC173 numbers show approvals.  WAC1731000XXX

Right... but our time will come too!

How many July 2017 ( No N-400 filed) filers do we have pending approval ? It seems like the majority of the applicants have  been approved . Can we have a quick roll call ?

From what I see mainly early July filers (I'm talking about CSC) have been approved so far

WAC17298 (07/26/2017 NOA1, CSC) still waiting. I have not applied for N400 yet

Congrats to everyone who has been approved! 

CSC 07/26/2017 NOA1 (WAC17298) here and still waiting

We will be getting good news by October. CSC May filers are getting approval letter..

Wow, that would be great!  

July 2017 CSC filer here. I haven't posted in a while but I just received my 18 month extension letter today (mine is dated 08/18/2018). 

Update:

I received a letter from USCIS (dated 05/05/2018) that "it is not necessary for you to appear at a USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) for a biometrics appointment".

I already received an email saying the same thing months ago, but it's nice finally not having to worry about the biometrics appointment letter any longer.

Nope, there are November 2017 and December 2017 applicants who also received the same notice.

This is what I found.  I didn't read it all but couldn't see anyone commenting at the end saying they have been approved.  But looks like it has happened before. 

Thank you for sharing this! On page #7 people are saying that they got approved and the signature block was from their local office.

Well I got this now:

 

On February 26, 2018, we received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number WACXXXXXXXXXX, at your local office. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

 

Seems like almost everyone is getting this message. Btw this is the receipt number of the NOA1, the second one still says we received your form CRI-89 blah blah.

Same here!

Are you guys going to file for citizenship this year as well? Just a quick question, if we filed for citizenship and got called in for an interview before I751 approved. Do both of us have to appear for the interview or just the beneficiary? If filed after approval of I751, is it interview for both or just beneficiary?

Yep, I will! I will become eligible on June 26th.

Very strange this inconsistency over use of previous fingerprints and biometrics.

 

We all followed a similar time line in the first round of fingerprints and biometrics for the original 2 year Green Card.

 

So now two years later . . . how can some of the fingerprints and bios be 'out of date' and need be repeated (as most of us have already done) . . . and yet others such as Anna's be 'OK for current reuse?'

I have absolutely no idea why this happens either. Based on what I have read in other threads, it is totally random and there is no consistency or reasoning behind it. I have waited more than 6 months for my bio appt letter so personally I'm glad that I don't have to keep calling every other month and constantly having to worry about it.

USCIS sent me an email as an answer to the service request that I submitted on January 29th over the phone. The email says that they are able to reuse my "previously captured fingerprints and other biometrics". It took them over 6 months to say it but I gladly take it!

Nope, can’t demand to see GC if you decide to provide other acceptable proof (usually driver’s license and unrestricted ss card). 

 

 

Thank you. If I'm correct, this falls under the category of "document abuse".

As per the site above:

Employers must not

• request more or different documents than are required to verify employment authorization and identity
• reject documents that reasonably appear to be genuine and relate to the employee
• specify certain documents over others based on an employee’s citizenship or immigration status, or national origin
