Had our interview today.  Was a piece of cake!

 

We had taken loads of paperwork showing commingled finances and things and lots of pictures,  cards,  letters from family,  proof of my kids taking his name etc.

 

The agent took one look at the folders and said "I don't need any of that". She only asked a few questions about how and when we met,  confirmed address,  social security numbers and full names. 

 

She told us she was recommending us for approval and gave us a sheet marked the same and said to watch for certified mail with the new green card within next few weeks. 

 

wow congrats. thats really amazing.

Thanks for doing that. I've filled in my details.

 

As an aside, are any EAC filers able to locate their case if they search here? https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/

 

My Case Status does not recognize the receipt number entered, but I can find my case on https://myaccount.uscis.gov/ it just hasn't updated since it changed to 'We received your case, You do not need to do anything at this time, We will let you know if we need anything else from you as we continue to review your case.'

My case status literally hasent changed even after fingerprints etc. not sure if its expected to change or not.

Hello All,

I have created a spreadsheet for all EAC Vermont Service Center filers for I-751 for April 2019.  

Feel free to fill the dates so we have a gauge of timelines.

Best of luck to all

Guys one question, recently read on https://www.uscis.gov/workload-transfers

that cases from EAC have been moved to Potomac Center on May 6th, 2019, wondering if anyone has got a notification of case transfer or do we not know if they will even tell us if its moved.

coz Potomac center process in 11-14 months

Vermont does it in 15-19 months. It might help to know where our case is actually being processed no?

Thats awesome! Good luck with your interview. 

Im sorry yes, with the I-797 letter, my friend was not allowed to board a Luftansa as Luftansa folks said they dont recognize the letter as the GC card itself is expired.

Not sure if any other person has faced this issue!

Do USCIS give Wet Ink I-551 stamp for travel, as my friend was not allowed to board a Luftansa flight from Mumbai to US because they were having the I-797 NOA extension letter as proof of valid Green card.

I still have not received any biometrics. All we got was a text of the extension. But no mail that it was extended. Should I be worried? It’s June now. 

I know a friend who filed at SRC, they are mostly re-using old biometrics. so you might get a letter that they wont even need a new BM appointment. but keep a tab on it.

Just to summarize based on responses by Service centers: please correct me if I'm wrong

Vermont Service Center (EAC) - Biometrics done for most but no movement after that

National Benefits Center (MSC) - Most people have for interview requests already (within 2 months of submission?)

Texas Service Center (SRC) - Most people have not heard anything since submission, not even bio-metrics request (from my experience, SRC uses old bio-metrics so you guys should not worry)

California Service Center (WAC) - I've not heard many people submitted from WAC here, please respond whats the latest if your application went here.

Potomac Service Center (YSC) - I've not heard many people submitted from YSC here, please respond whats the latest if your application went here.

I recently saw an update on workload transfers by USCIS: https://www.uscis.gov/workload-transfers

They have moved a lot of Vermont I-751 cases to Potomac Service center, have a look.

This may be an issue with the transit airport, they sometimes have different requirements in lieu of transit visas.  It really does depend on the specific airline and routing. 

I mean I called Air France and also checked the French Visa website they say Indians don't require ATV anymore. 

https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/news/indians-no-longer-require-airport-transit-visa-in-france/

But I'm still skeptical, and might re-route my Return flight via Abu Dhabi (Ethiad Airways), let me know if anyone faced this via France, Ive heard about Germany in all the cases I know about.

That is really frustrating....was getting an I-551 stamp in the passport not an option before travel? Seems like it would be safer to have the stamp than just the extension letter.

Is this still a problem, my friend today literally called and told me the same thing, they did not allow him to board from Mumbai via Frankfurt to US.

I have Air France tickets booked for Mumbai via Paris to Washington Dulles, I called Air France they are saying I dont need any ATV or I will be allowed to board, now I am really not sure what to do.

Is there anyone else who can help with this?

I got a ready for schedule too guys, feels great.

60 days exactly from filing date 

Is this for interview or biometrics? which center

We also haven't had any online update since his bio on 5/7.  I'm not worried about it yet--I expect everything to move super slow. Just make sure you hang onto the stamped paper as proof you went to your bio appointment as scheduled, in case they mess up and say you didn't.

We still have not received any update since my biometrics on 5/6. No change in status saying Fingerprints received (EAC No so Vermont center). Is it this slow for everyone at this center. ?

Oh nice. That’s quick. Hope ours at Vermont moves fast like that hopefully. We sent our package on 3/29.

You did biometrics around the same time as my hubby.  Maybe your status will update soon as well.  Although, my thought is that CR-1 cases are getting done quicker than Adjustment of status cases.

When did you guys send your package. Thanks awesome. How many days since sending your package?

Received our Biometrics Appointment notice in the mail today! Such a great surprise! I thought it was going to take forever because our service center is WAC.

Same here I got a Biometrics Appt. for May 6th. Sent date 4/19 but received only on 4/26. 

My center is VSC. with as EAC no.

What is the first 3 letters of your case number?

Its EAC - Vermont Service Center, anyone else in the same boat?

Just now, cammi9988 said:

Hi, they will send you a letter saying that they are able to reuse your previous biometrics. When did you filed?

Filed 3/29

sms 4/8

checks cashed 4/9

noa 4/11

Hey guys. If at all they don’t want new biometrics. How do they communicate it that they are using our old ones. 

Since 4/11 NOA I have not received anything.

Says California Service Center on my I-797 NOA

Received 18-month GC extension

 

After that, nothing. Haven’t received biometrics yet...

 

Cool, in the same boat. Makes me feel better now. Nothing since 4/11 after NOA I-797(18 month extension).

They normally come within a day or two from eachother, but some ppl dont get bio letter as uscis will use their existing fingerprint. 

Thanks Vitran, do we need to worry as 18 Mo extension letter suffices for now anyways.

We have just got the 18 mo extension letter on 4/11. 

No biometrics yet. What’s the usual ETA of biometrics letter after NOA1?
