    I reached out to my Congress rep and both senators of Texas. All 3 said they dont have the power to get the appointment for me. There is nothing they can do about it. They can help check the status of I751 but not much more. 

     

    same, reached out to representatives and got same reply, they cannot help with infopass appointments. It seems all we can do is wait in the queue for callback and for how long who knows.

    Thank you so much for all the replies. As much as it sucks, it's assuring to know I am not the only one in this situation. Has anyone actually tried just going to the office without appointment and asking for a stamp? I read couple Reddit comments where people were able to go to the office in 2022 and get it done but they mentioned it was done by luck. Also they weren't from Dallas office.  

    I also spoke to couple lawyers and they mentioned they have clients in the same situation. There isn't anything they can do at this point. I plan on speaking to more lawyers and get further opinions. 

    Tried walkin at dallas office, no luck. security guard just would not listen and handed a paper with information to call the uscis phone number and ask for infopass.

    Hello, My wife filled her I751 in May of 2019 and filed her N400 in June of 2020. Her I751 is still not processed. Her initial 18 month extension expired. She was able to get a I551 stamp on her passport in February 2022 for 6 months. That expired end of August 2022. She called USCIS to get another 6 month stamp on August 2 which is within USCIS guidelines. She was told in 30 days, they will schedule an appointment at the Dallas USCIS office. After 30 days passed, she received an email from Dallas office notifying that they dont have any appointments. We tried multiple times to get an appointment but Dallas office keeps saying they dont have any appointments available. We even tried to get an emergency appointment but still received the same reply. We asked if a different office can stamp her passport and we were told it goes by zip code and there is no way to go to another office.  We have out of country travel scheduled for October 21,2022 and November 5, 2022. At the moment, my wife does not have anything that says she is a permanent resident. Has anyone gone though something like this before? 

    same situation here with dallas office. you can check my post. tried to expedite but got same response of no appointments. 

     

  4. Oct 6 - called to expedite was told to wait for callback in 72 hrs. And received email same day saying no appointment available before my travel date. Email also mentioned to try and apply for i131a at embassy before coming back. Might not need this if airline allows to board on expired status.

    i131a route seems risky since appointment availabilities at embassies are also hard to find.  

    is it possible to get adit stamp appointment at different field office?

    It happens more and more. 
     

    Try using EMMA online to express to an agent that you’ve travel coming up and need a stamp.  
     

    Failing that try the CIS ombudsman 

    I tried using EMMA and got connected to live chat agent. I mentioned we have travel coming up and response was that she wrote the note on the existing ticket and said you still just have to wait for when  appointment is available. 

     

    when asked how much longer, all i got was you are in queue. no mention of further timeframe or if it would be before my travel date. 

  6. Our i751 extension letter expired last year, and we followed steps to get infopass appointment and were able to get an infopass stamp last year before our travel in 2021.

    Now the infopass stamp expires in november and we have traveling scheduled from october to december, our return is after our stamp expires. 

    So we called USCIS to get infopass appointment beginning of September and were told to wait for 30 days as usual, now instead of callback we get an email saying:

     

    We are contacting you about your pending request to be scheduled for an in-person appointment at a USCIS field office. Unfortunately, there are no available appointments with the field office that you need to visit. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your patience. 

     

    Please note that we process all requests for appointments in the order in which they were received. We ask that you wait for the Contact Center to reach out rather than calling back to check on your request as it may result in longer wait times.  

     

    As soon as an appointment becomes available, we will: 

    •  Send you an email with the date and time if it is determined you are eligible for an appointment; OR  
    • Contact you by phone or email to confirm that the appointment is still needed, and if so, schedule as appropriate. 

     

    Not sure what do we do now, how can we get an appointment before our travel?

    Has anyone else gotten this email before and what happened after it?

    I called the USCIS number. 800-375-5283

    I said "ADIT Stamp".  It connected me to an agent.  I explained the situation as emergency since my wife needs to travel.  The agent then said I would receive a call withing a few hours.  Then, a couple hours later and agent called me to set up the appointment for the next morning.   The next morning, we drove to the service center, and they stamped my wife's passport.  Her stamp is valid for 6 months.  Yes, you can travel with the stamp.

    Thank you! I just called and was told to wait 30 days for callback.

     

    Did you have to bring any documents with you at the service center?

    This whole "conditional" green card stuff is really starting to make me angry.  We just had to get an appointment for an I-551 stamp in my wife's passport......we have a rock solid case, yet we have been waiting since March of 2019.  This is beyond ridiculous.   My wife has now been in the US since June of 2017.

     

     

    My extension letter expires in Nov.

    What steps did you follow to get the i-551 stamp in passport?

    How long is the stamp valid for?

    Also can we travel internationally with the stamp?

    We received our i797 yesterday in mail. have couple questions regarding it:

    1. For the visa journey timeline "Lifting of Conditions NOA Date" is that the Received date from the letter or the Notice Date?
    2. we filed i751 for my wife, in the i797 letter the petitioner and the beneficiary fields both have her name in it. is that correct? 

    Also:

             3.  is the Priority Date in i797 suppose to be blank?

    Thanks for sharing. I think it's more uncommon to have an ROC interview if you've already had an AOS interview. From my understanding, it's more often the folks who came on K1s, who maybe didn't have a couples interview already?

    My wife came on cr-1, we never had couple interview, only she had interview at consulate to get the visa. Just submitted ROC packet this week and our case was assigned to MSC. Based on MSC thread for i-751 it seems cases going to MSC are getting interviewed for ROC.
