You will not be deported if you switch your pending I-751 to a divorce waiver and submit a final decree of divorce in response to a likely RFE.  The issue of your child will be up to a judge in the divorce process.  As others have suggested, you need a good divorce attorney who could help you get full legal custody of your child.  If you are successful, you could move back to the UK with your child.  If not, you can legally stay in the USA to co-parent, while the I-751 is pending and after it is approved.  Good luck!

Just so im understanding correctly, if I change the 1-751 to a divorce waiver I can live in the us?

If you are waiting on I-751, removal of conditions, you should contact the USCIS regional office that sent the receipt notice and let them know you are changing the I-751 to a divorce waiver, so a divorce will not negatively affect your immigration status.  File for divorce ASAP, as you will need a final divorce decree to complete the I-751 process.  Sorry to hear about the marital issues, and best wishes to you moving forward.

Thank you for the info! Do you know if this means I would get deported and my child would be left here?

Hello

Before I start rambling please be aware that right now is a VERY raw and hurtful time for me so please be kind - I have just found out my husband cheated on me. We need to talk more about everything but assuming we will be divorcing. I am wondering how this will effect my immigration status? I have been waiting 2 and a half years for an appointment for "removing conditions" to get my 10 year green card extension and I do not want to get deported for getting a divorce and my 3 year old and I are separated. And in all of this I have a 3 year old who was born in the US. Ideally I would like to move back to the UK my home as my entire side of the family is there. I am wondering also what I would need to do to bring her with me? I am a UK citizen and she was born in USA. She has a US passport. I am hurt, lonely and scared. Any input would be amazing. 

Thank you!

Reading between the lines (since your VJ timeline is incomplete), you applied for removal of conditions some time before August 10, 2020? If you are asking this question now it means that this still hasn't been approved almost 4 years later. Are you planning to apply for citizenship?

not at this time. Why?

You won't. If you plan to return after your extension letter expires, get an ADIT stamp before you leave.

I will be coming back 3 weeks before it runs out. Should I still get a stamp? so nervous sorry.

Hello everyone! 

I am flying to London in two weeks time and trying to make sure everything is prepared. I am wondering if someone can help me make sure I do not forget anything paper work wise!

I have multiple extension letters (my green card has expired but have been given multiple extension letters due to how backed up the offices are) My extension letter runs out in August this year 

(assuming I will get another letter closer to the time) 

I will bring my green card, extension letters, passport, is there anything else I need to bring that I am forgetting? Any help would be amazing! My brother is getting married and that is the reason for my trip back.

Thank you all. :)

Hello!

Hope you are all well. In sight of some information and hoping someone can help. My green card expired - My green card expired on 08.10.2020. I needed to travel December 2022 so I got my I-551 stamp November 28th 2022 and was valid until November 27th 2023. Fast forward to 2.22.2023 - I get a notice in the mail saying they have extended the validity period on my form I-551, Permanent resistant card (also known as green card) for 48 months. 

So the date of extension would be until August 10 2024. The issue Is I need to travel back home to England in the end of June to attend my brothers wedding. I would return home July 13th. 

So my question is.. Do I need to get the I-551 stamp again? because of it being so close to August? 

I hope this makes sense.. Sorry if I confused anyone, honestly just trying to make sense of all of this myself and coming on here feels like some sort of normality. 

Thank you!

Jessica.

I had my interview Monday 28th November and I got my stamp easily within 15 minutes of being inside the USCIS building. I am so happy. I will be visiting my family for a week on 21st December for christmas. Can anybody list everything I should bring for border control incase I need it, I really do not want to miss taking something. Thank you.  Happy holidays!

If this is literally what you've said and it ends up working, you should write up a guide for getting the stamp 🥲

 

Jokes aside, I wish you good luck and to get it soon!

Appointment scheduled for Monday in Detroit

Update: I spoke to someone at USCIS on Friday evening and stated that at this point I am really stressed and I travel in December, I'm asking for a stamp not gold etc etc. They have now put me on the urgent 72 hour call list. I just hope this means I get a call and not instead another email saying they are booked up again. Fingers crossed now. That's all I can do right.. 

Does anyone happen to know what waiting time estimates are looking like on getting an appointment set up for a I-551 stamp?

Do I just ask them to put me on a list for all offices?

So it's been 30 days since I should have got a phone call from USCIS to schedule an appointment and instead I got an email stating they are fully booked and I will basically have to wait for them to call me when appointments open.. is this normal? also just like every question.. how long. My nearest is the Detroit office. I have travel planned for December and I am really starting to freak out. I guess I just have to wait but this is where I am at.

Adjustment of status? I-751 is for removal of conditions, not adjustment of status. Your timeline and title says AOS. 

I apologize I meant removal of conditions..

Hey guys!

So today my case updated from "We are ready to schedule your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, for an interview." to this "Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken" can anybody explain how this makes sense? my biometrics was back in April 2021 and I've waited over a year to get my appointment scheduled and still have not got my interview but yet it updates to the finger prints update. I am confused. I hope someone can make sense of this because I am lost.

Thank you in advance!

Update: I asked for an info pass appointment and the lady I spoke to said I have to wait 30 days to get a call to get my appointment scheduled. 

Hopefully sooner than later.

Yeah sadly it's normal.

When I got my passport stamped with another extension recently (another 12 months), I asked the USCIS desk clerk about it. They said I should track the processing times at:

https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

Set to "All Field Offices".

This currently shows 80% of cases being completed in 32 months, but that's obviously retrospective and probably hasn't caught up with the nature of the growing backlog yet.

Thank you. This puts me at ease!

Still waiting for my interview - filed back in may 2020 received extension notices and then my case was updated that I am ready to be scheduled for interview on October 7th 2021.. it has been a whole year since and still no appointment date.. any ideas or thoughts? is this normal? any one else in this same boat?

Call USCIS. Say “info pass”. A human will answer. Request 2 things:

 

1. an info pass appointment to get an I-551 stamp on your passport 

 

2. a tier 2 officer to call you regarding the status of your case. 

Thank you for the info, how do you get ahold of a tier 2 officer? 

Hey guys,

I apologize if this has already been answered somewhere on this website but I couldn't manage to find it. 

Petition - 1-751 petition to remove conditions.

Immigration received date on my notice of action is - 5.28.2020

I got a notice on 9.29.2021 that said my case was being transferred to Lee's Summit, MO. 

I also had my biometrics.

And my current status shows "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" as of October 7th 2021. 

On 07.01.2020 I was sent a notice saying that my conditional resident status was extended for 18 months from the expiration on my green card.

On 12.14.2021 I received another notice saying that my conditional permanant resident status is extended for 24 months from the expiration on my green card. 

My green card expired on 08.10.2020 and those notices expired on 08.10.2022. 

It is now October and I do not have any more notices for more extensions. I am extremely worried.

When I look up the processing times on the USCIS website I do not even see Lee's Summit under the Field Office or Service Center section.

I am still waiting for my interview. I am planning to fly internationally to the UK in December for a week to visit my family.

I tried calling the USCIS Number and I can not get any answers or even get through to anyone who can help me. 

So I came here looking for any answers. I hope someone can help.

Thank you. 

Jessica. 

Hello everyone, 

In November 2017 me and my husband got married, we then sent off all of the documentation. 

Yesterday we finally heard something but unfortunately it was our first ever "Request For Evidence" one of the things were.

- Submit all supporting tax documents for the most recent tax year. The petitioner/sponsor must submit all supporting tax documents for the most recent tax year.

(Although my husband being the petitioner did send off the tax documents to them so a little confused) but we will send them off again and triple check.

So my question is do you think I should also send my tax documents off from my previous work in 2017 just as extra of not necessary? 

Feeling stressed about it so i've taken to here hopefully in the search for help!

How is the journey for you all going? Anyone else in the same boat? 

x

I'm assuming you would have to restart the whole process as you withdraw from it, but it's best to call up and double check as I could be wrong. 

Hey everyone!

Hope your all well!

I have my Embassy interview this Friday and i'm really nervous.

I've prepared my folder but can someone tell me if I've got everything or if i'm missing something? that would be great.

- Passport

- Police Certificate 

- Birth Certificates (with parents names on) 

- DS - 160 Confirmation

- Affidavit of Support (1-134)

- Photos of screenshots for more evidence.

- Photo (1 USA passport sized)

- Evidence for having enough money (savings etc)

- Evidence I have paid for the interview. 

Am I missing anything else? Anyone who has been to the Embassy in London.. how was it?

Thanks!

Thanks for the update @JessnTrev. So glad it went well for you. One step closer wohoo .

I'm honestly more worried about the travelling to get to London. But im sure it will be fine. I have a few hours to kill both before and after my medical because of my train ticket times. I didn't really want to be 'hanging around' on my own given recent events but im sure i'll find something to do nearby for a while.

I'll keep you updated! Thanks for the good luck

Not a problem. Aw thank you

Yeah I can agree, the tubes make me the most nervous. I'm constantly on the look out and I always feel like i'm trapped on them.. lol. 

Your quite lucky then because your like a minute walk away from forever 21.. and like loads of big chain clothes stores! eek! I couldn't resist haha.

Let me know how it goes tomorrow!
