Congratulations 🍾

did your status changed to ready for the interview before you get the new card is issued. 

Thank you! I don't think so, because it never got updated after i did my biometrics. It was always stuck at "we received your application on XX Date". After that it changed to "New card is being processed"

So it seems your I-751 removal of condition interview was waived. Is this a sign that the new USCIS policy to waive interviews has started? Hopefully.

Probably! So grateful

I just came out of my interview, conditions removed, baby! 

That was a fantastic interview all and all, honestly. couldn't be more impressed with USCIS San Antonio  

Congratulations! You must be ecstatic. I would love to ask you a few questions about your divorce waiver, would you mind if I DM'd you?

Wow MSC is moving fast! @E&M2021 did you receive an interview date yet? What exactly does the email say and did you get a letter in the mail as well?

I initially filed in June but they never received the package so then sent it in July, which was received by them on 8th July 2021. So I hope to hear from them soon, although they did send out the 24 month extension letter, so I assumed it will take longer

Hello everyone, I received my 24 month extension letter this week.

Hello!

A little bit of info before i get into my question. I am based in Atlanta, there is a field office here. But when I was drafting my application, the website prompted me to send my application to Phoenix. And my application is at MSC currently. I filed in July and already did my biometrics. Originally came in through CR1 visa. 

But as I was reviewing the spreadsheet for ROC filers, I noticed some members who have listed Atlanta as their local office and their application (also CR1) is in SRC. I thought all CR-1 are being sent to MSC? Any insights on this?

Hi all! Have you heard about that USCIS is extending the evidence of status from 18 months to 24 months, mainly to accommodate the increased processing times. Apparently, anyone who filed before Sept 4th will receive a new letter. I haven't gotten mine yet.

What happened I just got mine it's September 16th in Philadelphia 

Salaam Aziz! The process took unnecessarily long and the staff could have been nicer to some people with Language barrier. I am just glad it is done. Whats the processing time for Potomac currently?

If you face issues at the first DDS office then try a different office. An example:

Hello, thanks so much for sharing this thread with me. I was able to renew my ID without any issues. They accepted the I-797 letter and extended my ID for 18 months.

Thanks, I will try.

but it is pretty clear on their site that I-551 stamp or I-797A will be required. Also, agencies here are not well connected so DDS wouldn't know that infopass is not being scheduled currently. Il update this thread with how it goes tomorrow.

Hi everyone,

Back here for advice. 

My Green card expires 3rd Sept 2021 and so does my instructional driving permit. I have the 18 month extension letter + valid foreign passport and of course social security number. Having read online, most resources say that the extension letter alone is not enough and you would need the I-551 / I-94  stamp. The same is stated on the DDS Georgia site, I am based in GA. You can refer to this page for more info: https://dds.georgia.gov/list-acceptable-real-id-documents

So now that they are not scheduling infopass appointments, how do I get my DL renewed? Will I not be able to drive or renew it for 20+ months till I get my GC?

Also, how can I post this question outside of this thread, do I need to find another relevant group? How do I create a post?

Thank you!

Hi June filers, I received my Biometric appointment letter. It is for the 18th of this month. Who else got their biometrics done, what was the experience like? I am pretty sure I do not have to take my spouse but can anyone of you confirm? Thanks!

No, that is incorrect. Just travel with the expired GC and the extension letter and your foreign passport: https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2019-Mar/2019 Carrier Information Guide - ENGLISH.pdf "Expired Conditional Resident Card, Form I-551 accompanied by Form I-797, Notice of Action indicating the card validity is extended"

Thank you so much, what a relief!

That's all you need, that letter and and your national passport, you need a stamp in your passport only if you lost your extension letter, I left the country and came back with my passport and the letter, no problem ever, it just takes longer a bit since they take your documents away so to verify your status in the US, but besides that, never had a problem

Thank you, what a relief. Did you travel recently?

Hi Guys, I need some advice.

I have not met my parents since 2019, they are overseas. The borders finally opened and I would like to visit them in November of this year. My GC expires 3rd Sept. I have received the extension letter, but for international travel I would need the I-551 stamp in my passport, correct? My understanding is that infopass appointments are not being scheduled. What are my options here?

Good morning! USCIS processes cases on a first come first serve basis. Once they receive your case, it goes into a "pile" order by received date with the cases and they work from the top to the bottom of the pile.  

Thank you for explaining that. Have a brilliant weekend!

I wanted to share this thread here just for our knowledge. At first glance it seems like good news but everyone suggested to show up anyway, so keep that in the back of your mind even though we are just starting the journey.

I am so sorry that you ended up having to do that. I had to do the same thing but it all ended up working out. Let us know when you get your NOA1

Hi there! I just checked my online banking and it looks like USCIS has processed the credit card transaction today or late yesterday. I am not sure if they work on Saturdays. Il keep this thread posted and also update the spreadsheet. Btw do you know if USCIS processes case depending on the expiration date of the GC or sort of like first come first serve basis.

Yes I've got both the NOA for extention and for fingerprint waiver. 

Hi, do you know why your biometric was waved? Trying to understand who has to do it versus who gets exempt. Thanks
