    Congratulations!  So if I understand correctly, you uploaded some documents (unsolicited) for the N400?  Did you initially file the N400 online or paper?

    yes .. uploaded a couple extra recent documents, we moved to a new apartment so sent the joint lease along with the most recent tax returns reports.. but i did initially file N400 papers by Mail.. only because the online system is so fussy with the PDF Size and i found it pretty annoying.

    Meaning unsolicited documents?  I've seen one instance where it helped to push a case for interview.  I may do the same once the 2020 tax transcript is available.

    I don't know if this worked but i sent a couple unsolicited documents and was getting ready to schedule an info pass appointment to get a 2nd extension stamp on my passport and found an N400 interview letter uploaded to my USCIS account documents tab.. So i'm getting interviews on June 29 and i'm really nervous and excited! I'm assuming it'll be a combo interview for the i751 aswell.. so i'm taking my spouse with me! 

    New Changes to Civics Test - Effective On or After Dec 1, 2020

    I've read the 2008 civics for fun a while back and now studying the 2020 civics since i applied for my n400 lately ( i don't have the interview scheduled yet ) 
    It's honestly not that much harder than the previous material if reading/understanding english is no big deal for you. I can see how it'd be challenging if your english is so-so and you're doing your best to memorize.. 

    My approach is to read the whole thing a few times, do some research on events or terms that you don't get, and finally study/memorize/answer 10 questions everyday ( if you have enough time ). I've downloaded the 128 material/questions from the USCIS website and i'm using an awesome iphone app called Citizen Now, i highly recommend it. 

     

    Goodluck, Everyone.

    congratulations everyone who got their interviews and their perm green card ❤️ 

    MSC here, STILL waiting on my ROC interview to be scheduled, been waiting over a year now. We've finally filed my N400 last week tho, but they still haven't cashed the check, i'm assuming holidays are gonna slow the process down a ton. but yeah.. we'll see what happens. 

    Any idea why MSC is insanely slower than others? any updates?

    @prenouveau I remember you guys were transferred to MSC like me. Did you hear anything from them? Any interview notification? I still haven't heard anything... Just case was transferred..... 

    MSC here, Still nothing.. i think it's going to be a long wait. 

    I've called the USCIS to ask about renewing my extension receipt and they said 30 days before the expiry date.

    Hello everyone! My father passed away last thanksgiving and i need to come back home to the philippines right away. I only have my extension letter and i dont have any time to get a i551 stamp on my passport. Is it okay to come back home with just the extension letter, death certificate and passport?Did anyone have a similar situation?? 

    I wouldn't worry, i just flew back to Denver from Egypt with the extension letter, and it was fine.. 

    i called the USCIS twice to confirm  thought and before i left the airport i showed my GC and Letter to checkin at the airport so they'll double check before i fly away. 

    Failed to file i-751, 2 days late.

    Nothing you noted indicates a need for an attorney at this point. The late filing - if accepted (and it almost certainly will be) - won't be held against you for adjudication purposes.

     

    Step back for a second and take a breath. You're in for a long waiting game just like everybody else.
     

     


    Thank you for the comforting/ realistic comment, it did help.

    Moved to the states with a CR1 visa to live with my husband Feb 2017, made that common tedious mistake and forgot that filing my i-751was in the 90 days prior to green card expiry dates.

    After we did our fair share of panicking and some self-loathing ( considering ourselves a bit too aware to make such mistake ) we decided to research it as quickly as possible and all results pointed towards sending the form ASAP. And so we had a call with an immigration lawyer for quick advice and we ended up writing a well-structured explanation/apology letter for our tardiness lacking a "good cause" and if you're familiar with the problem you'd know that a "good cause" is crucial for them to excuse a late filing of that damn petition.  

    Luckily we have some good evidence of our marriage in good faith, so we included them, highlighted our names in the documents and left post-its on each group of files to make it easy for the officer to process it and show a good intention of collaboration. 

    I've also included a G-1145 ( e-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance ) to be notified as soon as they can. 

     

    We sent the package today Feb Sunday 3rd which is my expiration date. We were hoping sending it overnight should get it there only one day late with the excuse of the first weekday after the weekend deadline. 

    But the FedEx office which we had to drive 3 hours to get to ( being in a small town ) can only deliver it by Tuesday 4th making it 2 days late. 

    So we included an additional letter in the package explaining our intention to get it there sooner including our FedEd receipt to support it. 

     

    I'm well aware of the possible complications and of the possible outcomes which evoke great anxiety in me and my husband, but we're trying to calm down and be practical. 

    So as we're awaiting either a  1. Denial   2. Request for more evidence  3. proceeding removal from the country   4. petition receipt which should include a conditional residency for a year during the processing and that would just be a huge relief and unexpected luck. 

     

    My plan is to search for an attorney and have my documents ready, and a well-written brief ready in case we get the first three possibilities.

    We are also planning to call USCIS tomorrow to ask for more information on how to go about this. 

     

    Today i decided to join VisaJourney since it has been great help for me starting my process from the very beginning, but mainly for two reasons;

      - Any input from previous experiences or an attorney that can add up and can be helpful 

      - Share our experience so it'll help others understand this kind of situations as much as it helped me reading about other people's journeys. 

     

    I'm also genuinely curious about;

    What's The success rates of these situations and how often do people actually get deported. 

    What's a good method to find a good attorney in your area? ( i will not pay attention to ADs, so don't bother )

    If you actually do get reported is it possible to be back to the states?

     

    Thank you for reading and please be kind.
