I spent 2 hours yesterday filling in the N-400. I just want to wait for her to get back before submitting it. I've uploaded all of our supporting docs. 2020, 2021, and 2022 taxes. I only did 1 bank statement. I redacted all of my income and deposits and bills paid balances from the statements.... Or should I show it? Our Mortgage Statement is just in my name but her name on the deed and it's her maiden name because that's what her passport shows. Meanwhile her name is on our homeowners insurance policy. I don't think I should submit the mortgage statement or the deed. What do you think? And I have her as a beneficiary on my life insurance policy but that's soooo many pages should I really upload the policy?

Copy and it was expired.... expired 01/03/2022 and she traveled 4 times a year to Japan to see her mother and son.

I-90 extension letter

It hasn't arrived yet but in the past she always flew with a copy the original we always kept at home for fear of losing it.

This is what we got. USCIS told me we are good to go.

Ours was uploaded late last night.. the elves must've been working. Wife is coming home in 2 weeks. Thanks everyone for all your help. Now on to the N-400

I understand, I'm just saying what the USCIS rep told us.

We spoke with USCIS and they said that once we get the I797 extension she can travel with a copy as long as she has the expired green card and passport and her ID's.

i thought it would take a few days for the regular mail. The letter is not uploaded to the portal. Will they upload it?

This email was just received although my check for the $750.00 doesn't show in my bank it might tomorrow or the next day... this is very good news--- I hope I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence Submitted on April 2, 2024Receipt # IOE09254XXXXX Case Status Case History Documents April 2, 2024 Case Was Received And A Receipt Notice Was Sent On April 2, 2024, we received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number IOE09254XXXXX, and sent you a receipt notice or acceptance notice. The notice describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address. Current as of today at 6:17 p.m.

We have no memory of anything in the mail and it's not in our portal which is really surprising because everything else is in the portal. Does she need the original hard copy of the extension letter or can I email her a copy that she can print out there.

I was told to wait for the I-797 and the extension letter comes with it and then apply for the boarding foil. I would apply for the boarding foil now but I think it's too soon. I was told she needs to do that at the US Embassy in Tokyo.

Her green card expired January 3,2024. Her mother died in Japan on February 27th and without thinking about USCIS or anything else I got her a flight out for the next morning to Japan. I had never received anything regarding the I-751 in the past 5 years and suddenly this nightmare occurred so we applied April 2nd, I actually applied the week before but Bank of America declined the charge protecting my account from fraud and then sent in a new application package with a check.

We just applied for the I-751. How long will it take to get the extension letter? The application was delivered April 2nd and they still have not cashed my check $750.00 yet.

Have you received an update on your application yet?

Are you telling my wife is stuck in Japan for at least 9 months or longer?

My Overnight package was received on April 2nd 2024... 2 weeks ago yesterday but my check is still not cashed or deposited. I contacted my state Senators office and they gave me the standard answer- 4-6 weeks to get a reply from USCIS. They were a waste of time contacting. I expected a different response from them.

At this point I've followed their rules and will pay whatever fee's. But this is so ridiculous. In todays world of computers and this is all paperwork ran through by a person. It should all be computerized and more efficient, I don't have a problem putting these workers out of a job to increase the speed of the process. - Payment, Application, all documentation uploaded and approved... BOOM DONE!!!!!

It took 4-6 weeks from the time you mailed in your application to get the receipt?

My wifes green card expired 1/03/2022. The 2 year Extension I-90 expired 1/03/2024. During the 4 years of the 2 year Green Card and 2 year Extensions she has traveled back to Japan about 8 or 9 times to see her mother. Her mother died last week and without a thought we booked her flight for the following morning and off she went. She was supposed to return yesterday but due to the fact the Green Card and i-90 expired on 01/03/2024 obviously she is not here with me or I would not be typing this right now. 1st thing she did was go to the US Embassy in Tokyo Japan, they told her to go on the USCIS website and file a form I-131. I called USCIS and they told me that is not the form needed and to go on the US Embassy website and find the correct form there. They would not tell me what form to file. Then I called back and they said to schedule an appointment, but you can not make the appointment from here in the US and there is no link on the website to make an appointment either... kind of like the old man joke in Coming to America--- "Where's the spoon... Aaaahaaaaa" I filed a form DS-160, Hope that's the correct form. I have never had a problem with this process but now I am super pissed off. Has anyone had an issue with leaving the US with an expired Green Card and how did you get back or get an exception?
