If you showed your company your green card when you did I-9 when you were hired, they should not revalidate, and you can continue to work even if your green card expires. (this is different from an expired EAD). I am not sure if the USCIS officer is correct. Look at the USCIS document here: the second paragraph from the bottom.

I actually found this after I posted the question. He sent this to his HR manager. I guess we will find out what they say tomorrow. It’s aggrevating...while we did send it a week early....holding it for 2 months is insane especially since it’s only a 3 month time frame. 

Hi everyone. 
 

My husband and I sent his I-751 application off 1 week earlier than the 90 period. After about 2 months we received it back as declined because it was sent too early. This left us a very short time period to fix the mistake. We re-sent the application and it was received on January 22.   We have not received a receipt yet and his Green Card is due to expire on Feb 25th.
 

The guy at the local USCIS told us that he would not be deported but he could not work. My husband has worked hard to get where he is at in his job. Is company said that they would take him back on, but his time with the company starts over again...he is close to getting his 2 year pin but will lose this and go back to having to wait for vacation, sick leave, insurance...does anyone know a work around on this or who we can speak too? 
 

It’s not fair because they had our application so long that we are going through this. if we received it back in a reasonable time, I would understand. I actually thought sending it early would be a benefit to them with all the Covid delay but no..all it has done is screw us over. We could really use some help or advice here. 
 

Thank you. I appreciate your input.

Sorry but this post is just off. So because others have waited longer than others, only those who have waited the lost have a right to be upset? You realize that some people wait MONTHS after same-month applicants have already entered the country? It's just how it is. No one should make themselves king/queen to decide who can be miserable and who can't. I understand your angst and would be going nuts too if i were in the same situation, but every situation is unique and you don't know each person's situation. Maybe you've waited X days longer than me, but also maybe your fiancé is from an ESTA country and so could come here whenever, whereas some of us have fiancées who will never get tourist visas so we haven't seen them for months and thus are solely reliant on NOA2 approval til we can see them again. Being a May 15th filer doesn't give one the right  to minimize the suffering of a May 16th, etc. this place is to commiserate and share knowledge, not to police who can and cannot express dissatisfaction with an extremely inefficient process. I try not to rant on here but I couldn't help myself this time. I hope you get NOA2 approval ASAP. 

I really hate the arguing in here. This is supposed to be a place of encouragement. Unfortunately all of our tensions are high because quite frankly last year it was 90 days and it really should be the same this year. What @PKG1090 (my fiancé) is stating is it really sucks when people after us are upset about not receiving and expecting to receive their approvals prior to people who filed before them.   I understand that cases are all different and I sadly hate to admit that I wish our case was approved before everyone’s but I’m not on here talking about how they skipped our case because I fully know that there are people way before me that have waited longer for their approval. It’s called courtesy. It really is a giant slap in the face to those people when others who filed later than us say “damn why did they skip our number...again”. As an earlier filer, it does make me say “#######?!”  Because why should later filers get approved before us?  I know it’s the system but my heart still says it’s wrong.  

I get that you are frustrated.  Like he said it’s been 15 months since I have been able to hold him...he lives in an esta country but it was denied due to lake of proof he will go back to the UK.  The amount of stuff that he has been through and gone thru just in order to spend time with me is amazing. He is an amazing man.  It’s easy to judge when you don’t know the situation. Many people (not just him @PKG1090) have said that it hurts to see people at later dates talking about how bad it is for them....it’s bad for all of us. Express your frustration. That is fine but please know that there are people that have been waiting longer that may also be frustrated...maybe even more frustrated than you are. I know it’s hard to imagine but everyday is worse than the day before. We have 173 days of frustration, depression, anxiety, stress, and loneliness and just when you think it’s not going to get worse...it just keeps getting worse. Not knowing when it’s going to happen. Wondering if someone lost our case or if there is something wrong. None of us have a clue what our futures hold...there is nothing worse than not knowing when your going to hold the person you love so much again.  I’m sorry that all of us are going thru this but my sympathy lays more with those that know nothing since May 11 or before.  ...and of course us (just because I care about our case most...as all of us do). Just be respectful that there are people that have waited a hell of a lot longer than all of us and they really just don’t want to hear it. 

Do not laugh or mock other people...it’s not necessary. He was making a general statement that wasn’t pointed at anyone. There is no need to go after him. He is extremely frustrated with this whole thing. We just want to be together and it is very emotional for both of us....for all of us.

@PKG1090 can't wait to see you go through the finish line. If need be, you and I will sit here until 2022 if need be, but we will get through. It will be - done.  

 

 

ps @Shoegum is the candy man, loved by all 

It better not be until 2022. I want @PKG1090here now!  I want a family with him and my clock may not last that long lol. 

@Shoegum just curious as to what your case number is.  You have been so helpful to others, I would really like to track it if you wouldn’t mind.

It is a call center on the east coast, not california

They’ve taken my call at 6:30 est before then if that is the case

I think they use eastern time

 

I’ve called on the way home from work before at 5:30 cst. Eastern would have been at 6;30 then. 

I just tried to call the USCIS and the recording said to call back between 8-6pm. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t it currently 4:55 there? 

My Fiancé and I are so incredibly frustrated with this process. I haven’t been able to kiss and hold him for 15 months due to the travel visa denial and my job requiring one year before vacation. My one year anniversary is today but God I miss him!  We are at 169 days today and I am struggling to stay positive. I just want to be with the man I love with all of my heart, body, and soul.  Grrrrrrrr

Still waiting for our NOA2 here but curious if anyone knows what timing the London Embassy is running at for interviews?

Totally agree with rant!  I'm curious why so much too!  Seems like 166 days (seems to be about average now) is a little excessive.

 

Visajourney timeline keeps moving my day back 3 days everytime I look after 3 days.  Feel like it's getting nowhere.

It's extremely frustrating. We haven't seen each other for 15 months because he can't get a holiday visa because they say he doesn't have enough reason showing he will go back and I have a job that won't allow vacation for a year but I need the job in order to show I can support him. We just want to be together. It's like they don't understand why we can't be patient...I can't understand why they can't see that we have been patient enough and 165 is just too much to wait to be with the person you love and want a life with.

I was sure I saw Saturday scans and approvals and was surprised to discover they work Saturdays.

I hope they do....this wait is horrible 😞

29 minutes ago, Shaman said:

No recent scans today, @Shoegum ? 😊 Guess we all are already a kind of addicted to them

Are they working today?

Looks like I jumped too quickly. This is a different form. Sorry. 

How would I get my name on this list. We sent our K-1 paperwork and it was received May 15...listed in my timeline.
