Hello everyone!!

 

I just have a quick question that I have searched for an answer to and have been unable to find! My husband's one year extension will expire July 21st, but we are not planning in leaving the country. If we aren't leaving the United States, do we still need to make an infopass appointment to get his passport stamped?

 

Thanks so much!

Yes, you should.  Without doing so, your husband's green card is technically expired.  It is no different than when a regular green card goes past it's 10 year expiration without renewal.  In these days of the Trump administration, I don't think that this is something you want to chance even if you don't plan to travel.

Yesterday, we received approval and the "new card is being produced" status change!  We are CSC.  Waited about 12-1/2 months but are finally relieved!

Our info (below) was NOT previously included in the group status list, so feel free to add it!

Hi Guys, I came across this forum and thought would be a good place to share my problem right now. I filed for i751 last may and received extension notice dated Jun 6, 2016, did my fingerprinting/biometrics July17, 2016, and waiting since then, no response, no mail, no activity, no case status online or anything, its been 9 months now and I am worried whats the next step. I have moved out to different addresses but updated them right away on the USCIS website.

Please give some suggestions, thank you.

John, we're all in the same situation as you.  This is the way that the USCIS works. None of us have had our case status updated until the actual approval occurs.  Hopefully, we will all get our approvals within the next month or so...

Good luck!!

Sorry for my misunderstanding of the situation.

Based on my (and my Chinese wife's) experiences in China, I would definitely think that there is nothing that the American consulate can provide that would be acceptable to the Chinese transit authorities.  If there is something other than a passport that would be acceptable, I would think that the Chinese government would need to provide it (such as the temporary identification you mentioned from the Entry-Exit Bureau).

Another option might be for her to contact her OWN consulate/embassy.  Since she is a Malaysian citizen, they may be able to provide her with something...

who is getting the fiance visa? is it you or your fiance?

Assuming that you are the Chinese citizen and your fiance is the American citizen, there is no need for your fiance to leave his or her passport at the Guangzhou consulate. Only you do.

I'm assuming that your fiancee is a Chinese citizen.  If so, she(he) won't need to have a Chinese passport to travel between Guangzhou and Shanghai.

My wife is from Beijing.  After the interview in Guangzhou, she was freely able to travel back to Beijing without her Chinese passport.  It was then delivered to her in Beijing about 1 to 2 weeks later...
