I filed over a month ago now and still haven’t got a receipt notice, no charge, anything. I can’t speak to anyone on the phone, my card expires in under two weeks. Should I send another I-751? I’m getting desperate now as my driver license also expires and i need to get to and from work 

Hi, did you receive the NOA? Sorry this experience has been so frustrating so far.

Hi June filers, 

 

My package was sent out on 06/28/2021 by USPS and it was received the next day. 

Credit card swiped on 06/30/2021, NOA1 dated 07/01/2021 and received on 07/06/2021.

 

Everything went smoothly....

BUT they spelled my first name wrong. Any idea what I can do? My friend say that I should call them at 8am EST, trying to stay awake...

Hi, sorry to hear that. Were you able to figure out a solution?

USPS lost my package so I waited for about 2 weeks and resubmitted with Fedex yesterday. I'll keep you all posted when I have any updates. Thanks

Sent package: 07/07/21

Package delivered: 07/08/21

Honestly, I would get another packet ready so you can send it off when you have given it a little more time. How much time has passed?

 

I already made the copies of everything before I sent it out. USPS tracking system still says my package is in New Orleans but was in fact delivered to the lockbox so my situation is a little different. And calling the USPS won't help much, I called everyone that I possible could have called (they have gave me 3 different numbers to call)  in USPS and went to all the nearby post office and spoke to all the supervisors and no one was able to provide me with correct information. 

Yes, I may just have to do that. I am pretty confident that the package is lost. Idk why i went with USPS, they are the worst. Since my GC expired 09/03/21 I have a little bit of time, so Il will wait till early next week to refile. Thanks

Did you make a copy of the application and evidence? 

 

Hi, well I have copies of everything on my laptop but I didn't make a copy of the signed application.

I say to wait about 2 more weeks before taking action. USPS is known to sometimes still deliver the package but a few weeks late:

 

Thank you. I really hope so.

Hey everyone,

 

I originally sent our ROC via USPS on June 9th. Two days later, the post office tracking system show that it was coming back to my husband and I in New Orleans, LA.  I went to the post office and ask them why. They potentially said it was miss delivered so it was coming back to me. Then the tracking system said that it was returned and delivered to our home address. No package was delivered, I went to ask them to help me find it. They send me all around town and gave me some phone numbers where no one answered. It was extremely frustrating. I had written a check for the filing fees/biometrics. I got extremely nervous because we still couldn't locate the package, so I put a "stop payment" on the check at least until I could locate the package. 

 

Two days ago, we received our NOA 1. I was shocked. I called my bank immediately to remove the "stop payment" but it was too late. Our application was rejected due to insufficient funds. 

 

Lesson learned, I guess. I have never had a problem with USPS before. So, we sent it again, yesterday, via UPS. We are crossing our fingers that we won't have this type of mistake again with a different carrier. 

Hi there, 

I sent my package on 06/21/21 through USPS priority mail, it was supposed to be delivered 06/22/21 and until now it says in transit with no updates since Tuesday 06/22/21. I am pretty sure the package is lost.

I opted for credit card transaction for payment. I am wondering should I wait and see if my package turns up? However, others who have a similar timeline of sending package have already been charged so that makes me feel like my package is definitely lost since i have not been charged yet. My green card expires 09/03/21. Appreciate and welcome everyone's suggestion.

Thanks

Hi all. I submitted my application today via USPS. Will keep you all posted on progress. I will pay with credit card and have set up for electronic notification. I have also entered my details on this spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uJwpaHzGIuuvbVMXK5h-F8KH3hCh88kMxpxC4uOJOk8/edit#gid=1410126665

Has anybody already created a June spreadsheet?

I am following this one, i found it in the May filer thread  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uJwpaHzGIuuvbVMXK5h-F8KH3hCh88kMxpxC4uOJOk8/edit#gid=1410126665

Hello,

The notice below is on the Lufthansa website, after purchasing ticket. As I have not yet entered the United States and have a "Conditional" Permanent Residence visa, am I exempted for filling out the APIS?

The country of residence is slightly tricky, as I am leaving Saudi Arabia on a final exit visa so it is no longer considered my place of residence. 

Appreciate your advice, thank you.

Many airports have additional security screenings prior to boarding.   I went through it in HK and Seoul.   This is not immigration preclearance. 

What kind of questions did they ask?

I believe that all US bound flights now have an additional security check .. a short list of questions asked by security staff between check in and boarding .. that’s probably what is being referred to ... 

Yes, you are probably right. Do you know what kind of questions I should expect?

Not necessarily.  I have used both LHR and GAT on many occasions (LHR is busy, but efficient), but I've never been to Frankfurt.  Maybe ask on the Europe regional forum here on VJ?

Thanks!

Keep in mind that in Frankfurt, as far as I know and from my experience with connection flights there, you will still have to go through Schengen Area passport check and through airport security still, even though you are just taking a connecting flight. So give yourself ample time to be able to get through security and passport check and to your gate (it's the biggest airport in Europe and very busy so you definitely want to make sure you have enough time to not miss your connection. Has happened to me there before). I would say give yourself at least 2 hours, so you have some wiggle room in case you land in Frankfurt late or anything like that. Make sure you don't need a visitor visa to pass through Frankfurt, and if you do, get it taken care of so you aren't rejected at passport check.

 

Edit: Just re-read you would have 4 hours layover, so you should be fine there. But make sure everything else is taken care of in terms of whether or not you need a Schengen visa to enter for your connection flight and be aware of passport check and airport security.

Thank you for the information. Just checked, since I have a valid US visa/residence permit, I do not need an airport transit visa.

London does not have US immigration pre-clearance.  Perhaps you meant Dublin.

In your opinion, would London be an easier airport to transit through compared to Frankfurt?

41 minutes ago, pushbrk said:

Probably somebody is misusing the term Preclearance.  For the US, preclearance is full clearance.  The flight lands as a domestic flight.  Anything done short of that at any international airport, can be called anything that entity calls it.  Your POE will be in the US, if you take the route you mentioned.

Thank you!

Thank you so much

Although London is not on the list, I read on another forum that the passengers had to go through pre clearance at Heathrow. Additionally, I know Muscat, Oman also has pre-clearance but its not on the list either.

1)  Frankfurt is not preclearance .  The purpose of preclearance is to not repeat once you land.  

 

2) normal nowadays passport with visa is what you need 

Thanks!

I don’t see Frankfurt on the list of airports with CBP Preclearance. Unless this is wrong , you will do your immigration process in Atlanta. 

 

Nothing else needed for the POE process .., though we did hand carry our own copy of all the paperwork just in case 

Thank you so much

Hello, my CR1 visa has been approved and I am planning to fly soon. Had a couple of questions:

1. The flight I will most likely be taking is Jeddah > Frankfurt > Atlanta. Will I have to go through pre-clearance in Frankfurt and if so what should I expect? My transit is for about 4 hours, do you think that is sufficient? Will the entire immigration process be repeated in Atlanta again?

2. I did not receive a sealed packet, as its online. So what documents other than my passport and medical CD should I keep on hand?

No. You just need to pay the Immigrant Fee (before or after POE).

For employment, yes. But you will need an SSN for payroll, so it's best to stop by the SSA in person sooner rather than waiting for it in the mail later.

Thank you!

I thought all EAD/AP applications were processed at the Missouri Center? 

Hello,

Please can someone clarify, I have applied for CR1 visa. Once I move to the US do I need to apply for Green card separately?

Also from my understanding, we dont have to wait to receive the employment card, the stamp on the passport should be enough for employment.

I'm still waiting for the case number... NVC said they got the petition but did not log it into their system yet... 

Thank you. 

NVC took nearly 4 weeks to assign us a case number. You can check my timeline to get an estimate of how long the process took at each stage.

Good luck.
