Its all so frustrating and waiting is all we can do. Be patient and hang in there

Here you go! 
 

Gotcha! Sorry about that! 

My passport name has my maidan name on it and my GC has my married name on it. So far, no issues. I’ve been able to leave the country many times and got my GC whilst my passport name was different. As long as you have legal documentation showing your married name... it should not matter. 

Gotcha! Sorry about that! 

From a UKer to a UKer, I found this for you... https://www.uscis.gov/archive/archive-news/information-legal-rights-available-immigrant-victims-domestic-violence-united-states-and-facts-about-immigrating-a-marriage-based-visa-fact-sheet

I’m not entirely sure of your situation but there is definitely some hotline numbers you can call and maybe guide you on your next steps. Give it a read and do not be afraid to reach out for help. If you need any other information. Just reach out. Don’t feel like you are alone in this.

If I could like this anymore, I would! You’re so right. I was one of the first people to go through all these channels and here I am still trying to obtain it whilst people after me have received it. It’s very frustrating.

They seem to be responding to online inquiries randomly. I have seen people who submitted an online inquiry after I did and have received a response. There are those who submitted before I did who haven't. And this is so wrong because we are doing the responsible thing in filing our forms in a timely manner but we just get tossed about everywhere with conflicting responses.

Update: We did receive the NOA today. Don’t know why they are so inconsistent with other cases.
 
Wish everyone gets their NOA soon. 

Hi Sarah,
yeah but it's not required so leave in blank, but on the box you can write the issue and the form # all the information should be explained in that box.
 
Hopefully works 🤗

Screenshot of your Sms, or screenshot of your account where show case was received on that date. I saw a box that you can wrtite and explain your case I think you can explain how many times you already called Uscis customer service and if you have the mail they replied to you. I think you can submit I don’t know if this works but we are in the same boat. They have everything on system, I read someone who called Uscis and they toll her that it’s true they did not send NOA and again same asnwer email lockbox... and I think this is not working.
 
I just my opinion, again I don’t know if this works but we can try

I m secretly hoping since USCIS is reopen, we should expecting the case moving along but quicker. Praying and patience. The ball is in their court. All we can do is try. And we did. 

Ok! Yea it hasn't show up anything yet. But for what it worth, the USCIS customer service said - its legal to continue stay after the GC expired, because you will have your appointment scheduled. Then she also said print out the case status online and carry with. 

Something to give you a giggle and forget stress for a little while: We have MSC which I believe is Missouri.... here is a funny ironic note, my husband and I met while both working for the Italian Cruise Company MSC.....we always see MSC cargo containers when we travel like they are following us and now its the letter code for our I-751.... 

I email them, I filled non Deliver notice, nothing! What are they doing everyday seriously. It's 2020, use email. Why they still keep using USPS🙄🙄

Hi May Filers, 
I am from the April Filers and wanted to let you know that we are all in the same boat. 
Friday I managed to speak to a tier 2 officer and he told me that my NOA was never sent. He said to email lockbox (which I have 5 times) only on my last try I got a confirmation email that they received it. He explained to me it would take too long to wait for lockbox and advised me to call back customer services this Thursday (offices are reopening) to schedule an appointment to get a stamp in my passport. This should hopefully give you that 6 month grace period of waiting from lockbox. I am the first one (as Of right now to be told this) so it’s all very confusing. So I ended up reaching out to others to see if they went through this process. I spoke to someone who mentioned it took her 3 months to receive her extension letter. Then got stamps after her extension letter expired. It’s unclear if she got a stamp before this. My advice right now is wait your full 30 days... put in lockbox requests, plus an online inquiry. Then call customer service to explain your DL and employment are due to expire. Then they should push you to Tier 2. I hope this gives you some peace of mind that it can be resolved slowly. I’m taking this one step at a time and it has been such a long winded journey. I legit just want my extension letter and be done with all the chasing. If I go through getting the stamp first, I’m not sure how it will all play out in terms of getting a copy of the NOA/letter. 
 
Good luck! 

mine was just ok, not the fastest nor too many delays! as you said let's keep each other informed with the latest updates.

Totally agree with your thoughts.

Hi everyone, 
quick update on my case - I just received an email from lockbox saying that my NOA was mailed to the address on file and the notice was not returned as undeliverable by the USPS. They have requested the notice be sent to the address listed in the systems and I should receive it within 10-14 business days.
Not sure what happened and whether it's USPS or USCIS issue to be honest but since a lot of people did not receive their NOA I believe there are issues on USCIS side. I will keep you posted. 

Spoke to customer service today about scheduling my appointment for my stamp. I have been added to the scheduling list and will be contacted between 48-72 hrs by an officer. Let’s see how this goes
