Here is the letter :
RECEIVED $275 FOR FORM 1-751 AND BIOMETRICS
Your conditional resident status is extended for a period of one year from date of expiration on your Form 1-55 1. conditional resident card. During the one-year extension you are authorized employment and travel.
In order to further process your petition, you will be receiving a biometric appointment notice with a specific time, date, and location to capture your fingerprints, photo and signature. You MUST wait for your appointment notice before going to the Application Support Center (ASC) for biometric processing.
Please Note: Conditional residents who are residing overseas pursuant to military or official government orders will not receive an ASC appointment notice. However, you must send two passport-style photographs.
If you have not already done so, provide supporting documents to assist USCIS in processing your petition and to establish eligibility to remove the conditional basis of your permanent residence. Please include a copy of this receipt notice with any supporting documents you submit. Such evidence may include, but is not limited to, the following items:
• Lease of joint tenancy
• Joint mortgage agreement and/or property deed
• Joint ownership of assets
• Tax returns
• Birth certificate(s) of any child(ren) born from the marriage
• Joint policies of life, medical, and/or car insurance
You can find the status of your case on-line at www.uscis.gov. To view the status of your case, enter the receipt number found at the top of this notice. Please Note: The 1-751 form type will be listed as “CR189” under the application type in our case status on-line tool.
You will be notified separately about any other cases you filed.

I rec'd an RFE in April and submitted my package, which was received on Tuesday, May 29th at the TSC. Does anybody know approximately how long it takes to hear back, once you have submitted your additional evidence?
It took about 3 weeks for me to hear back from TSC.

As topic states, 10 year Permanent Resident Card arrived in the mail today, ahead of the approval notice!
Congrats!!! I got it on the same day!!!

Yesterday I returned from work to find all 3 of the 10 yr cards in the mailbox.
Case closed till Citizenship
:thumbs: Congrants!!! I received mine yesterday too!

No, I don't carry the card on me always. And no, I am not breaking any laws. The way my attorney had this interpreted to me was that if the card is not physically on me, then I must know where it is at all times (which I do). And where did you get the info that being caught without your GC on you is punishable with jailtime? I have NEVER heard that before. Quote the source of your information (if you have it) and then I will believe you and your friend. Even in the very unlikely scenario that I'm arrested for not having my card on me, what's the worst that can happen? I get charged with unlawful presence -> I go home same day on bail (or get my family to bring my GC) -> I face the judge -> I produce proof of lawful residence -> case dismissed -> officers look stupid.
So, what if I don't have an ID on me at your hypothetical road block? Does that make me the criminal they're searching for? I stand by my earlier statement: Not having an ID on you is NOT a criminal offense. At least not yet. Ask a lawyer if you want. The situation at or near the border, however, is totally different. Don't mix them together. At the border, even USCs have to their passport or birthcert with a picture ID. EVERYONE (not just LPRs) hanging around the border has to prove s/he's got a legitimate right or permission to enter the country before the BP will let him/her in.
Yes, you are breaking the law by not carrying it on you at all times. Here is the "source": Immigration and Nationality Act 264 (e)
http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?...fb0686648558dbe
"(e) Every alien, eighteen years of age and over, shall at all times carry with him and have in his personal possession any certificate of alien registration or alien registration receipt card issued to him pursuant to subsection (d). Any alien who fails to comply with the provisions of this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall upon conviction for each offense be fined not to exceed $100 or be imprisoned not more than thirty days, or both. "
Sure, you can ignore this and get arrested and maybe a spend a night in jail only to be released right afterward and that experience will look great on your resume when it's time apply for citizenship. Maybe it's time to find a new attorney?
Thank you all for replying. I just received my card in a mail. The only thing I would like to say that I could be overwhelmed at the time I called Customer Service but I didn’t loose my common cense and was extremely polite. If you’re in customer service you should be ready that even you don’t like something about the customer or you having a bad hair day you can’t show it off. Can you imagine going to your bank with some questions about something you don’t understand and your banker raising the voice just because you don’t get his explanations the first time? I bet you will never come back to that bank. The difference with USCIS Customer Service is that we don’t have any other place to call with our questions. Even if the customer asking stupid questions your job as a customer service representative is to give the customer the correct answers and educate the person without showing any expression of anger. Why in the grocery store any associate is required to walk you to the alley with the product you asked for not making comments that the customer can’t read or raising the voice even that every alley has signs with what’s in it. Why sometimes the USCIS Customer Service is what any American would find unacceptable?
Everybody has his own opinion and I respect it. But just think of what I wrote above. Would you come back to that Bank or Grocery store?

I found my card in yesterday's mail. Now is a party time.

Hello,
For those of you who have been through the process and required an interview to remove the conditions of permanent residence, when did you get the interview notice. We are now at the point where we have received out biometrics notice, and my wife is going to day in fact to get her biometrics. I'm just wondering if we may still get an interview notice, or if we would have gotten that before the biometrics?
Thanks.

We submitted our I-751 in April, 2006. Some time in November of 2006 as soon my case happened to be outside of the processing dates I call Customer Service and made a request. About a month later we received a letter stating that our case had been randomly chosen for an interview and they were awaiting for scheduling from our local office. During the next 4 months I called a few times and made 2 or 3 requests. In the beginning of March, 2007 we received RFE. That was a big surprise! All the evidences we sent in April of 2006 didn’t fit in a regular envelop and we had to do a special sipping package (2 binders). It took about a month to put everything together and we sent a new package. My 12 months extension expired on April 21 of 2007. So, I made an INFO PASS appointment and drove to our local office (which is 4 hours away) to get my passport stamped on April 23 of this year. While being there I made a request on my case status but the lady who stamped my passport didn’t have any further information. So many people suggest scheduling an INFO PASS appointment to get an update on a case status. I just have to say that I would be very mad if I drove 8 hours to hear what I was told (nothing!!!!!!!) It wasn’t so bad for me because it wasn’t my main reason to go there. Two weeks late we received an interview invitation, which was conducted on May 23.

After waiting 13 months for I-751 approval, receiving RFE after 11 months of waiting and going through the second interview even after we sent a huge binder with all kind of proofs both times I probably panicking for no reason. We had our interview on May 23. The officer told us that I was supposed to get my welcome notice and a 10-year green card in a few days. I was told that if I don’t get it in 1 month I have to call customer service. I couldn’t wait another two weeks and called yesterday. The person I spoke to wasn’t nice to me at all. She was furious when I tolled her the reason I called. According to her some people don’t ever get their card in a mail. She asked me for a numbers from my passport’s stamp and of course I didn’t have it since I keep my passport in a bank lockbox. Her reaction was kind of abnormal again. She was speaking with me in a higher voice tone and told me that I have to have my passport on me all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As of today I haven’t received anything. Do you think it’s normal?
Am I just paranoid?

Do I have to say how happy I am?
Our I-751 was approved yesterday during the interview we were called for. We had to wait 13 months for this to happen.
hi finis4start
congratulations
could you share your second interview with us please . what questions they asked and howlong did you stayed in interview . ?
thank you and wish you good luck for your new begining .
onur
The interview itself wasn’t a big deal. We got sworn and had to answer some questions what our names, birthdays, residence were. Some questions about how we met, where do we work and why we still don’t have children.
Basically it was exact copy of the first interview besides we weren’t asked for any evidences. We brought TWO HUGE binders of different proofs with us. The officer didn’t look at any of them.

Hi everyone,

Here is my timeline:
11/24/06: sent in I-751 to VSC
11/27/06: VSC received my package
12/3/06: check cashed (I cannot remember the exact date, but it is roughly around 12/3)
12/21/06: NOA1 received
1/5/07: Biometrics notice recieved
1/22/07: Biometrics taken

It's been a real nice experience here with you all. Thanks for all the info!
Congrats! -
Congratulations!
Did you apply for your citizenship yet?
My parents are still back home and they don't consider moving down here. If I become a citizen in case of emergency I would have to apply for a visa and pay for it to go back home. So, I think I'll wait till something changes.
And I NEED A BREAK from experiencing a wonderful immigration service.

For those of you who got RFE'd and sent back the info they requested, did you get any kind of receipt or NOA from them or did you just sit back and wait for either your greencard or letter to make an appointment or whatever? I sent them the RFE'd info they requested about a month ago and have had no letter or email from them. As a matter of fact I have had no emails from Case Status at all since my application to remove conditions, I got the Receipt and NOA in the mail and did my biometrics and then got the RFE but nothing on my case status has changed since they recieved the application. I didn't even get an email telling me I'd been RFE'd. Any helpful info would be appreciated. Thanks, Lindy
I think they don’t send you any kind of receipt. In our case we received a letter less then in two weeks after we sent RFE to TSC saying that our case was moved to the local office.
-
Our I-751 was transfered from TSC to Memphis.
Does anybody else has I-751 petiton transfered to local office?
Is it just us being so special?
-
My wife (USC) and I filed our I-751 in October last year (at the Texas Service Center, we are in Houston) As I posted a few weeks ago, about a month ago we rec'd an RFE. We are in the process of putting all the ####### together AGAIN, but I am feeling that no matter what I send them, we are going to get called for an interview regardless. 2 things: does anyone/everyone agree with that assumption and 2) Does anybody know of anyone who has actually been denied and/or deported at this final hurdle?
Thanks.

I saw one experience posted on skyweb. The couple received the letter that their case was chosen for an interview but a few months later they received an approval letter without any interview. But that’s only one time I saw people not being called for an interview after such a letter. All the cases that I know were denied were based on some kind of waiver. One experience I saw posted somewhere was telling a story of a denial after the interview. The couple was separated for questioning and they had some discrepancies in some answers.

When my husband and I did our AOS in 2003 we did consider my income even though I was a beneficiary on our petition. It did work fine. Our combined income still was below poverty line but we were able to show that we had the difference amount* 5 times in some assets. That’s what I was about to say to my friend but I wanted to hear it from somebody else before I do it. I don’t want him to blame me in giving him wrong information if something doesn’t work for him.
-
I would think that he should be able to show his income as well. Even he is not authorized to work yet he is still a member of household. Am I right?
-
finish4start,
I repeat - does he have a current income to include on his wife's I-864?
Yodrak
finish4start,Does he have a current income to include? (And if so, does he currently have employment authorization?)
Yodrak
Looking for the aswer for my friend.He came to the US as a student a while ago, met his future wife and just got married. Not being authorized to work in the US he worked anyway and filed federal tax returns each year he worked. Now is a time to do his AOS. Their joint income with his wife meets the poverty line criteria but just his wife's doesn't. Can he include his income into household income to meet minimum criteria?
Yes, he works. He has a full time job.
I don't think that he has gotten his work authorization yet…………
They haven't filed anything yet.

They plan to stay with parents for the next couple of years. That's why they start to worry about it now. Thank you for your advice.

Hi, everybody!
My friend recently got married and now this is a time to do AOS. They live with his wife’s mother and don’t have a lease agreement or mortgage in their names. To prove that they’re living together they need at least a letter from the mother. I saw somebody mentioning that they had to do the same thing. Can anybody to help with the style of this letter? Please, if somebody has the same situation, share your experience how it worked at the interview. Was there any problem that they didn’t have a place in their names?
