This is how I calculated it, based on first quarter of FY 2019:

 

In the 1st quarter of FY 2019, a total of 43, 588 I-751s were adjudicated.  Of those only 1287 were initially denied......that's less than 3%.......if 75% of the denials were ultimately appealed & approved (I read that somewhere), that pushes the denial rate for I-751s during that quarter to less than 1 %.....

 

Any way you look at it, denial is pretty rare.

 

 

I did look up on FY 2020 :).

But as you said it's still pretty rare

Unless they asked for pictures, I wouldn't bother. But, if you decide to send them, scan and print them on paper first.  There is no requirement to have children together or to have a small age gap.  You will not get a denial for those reasons.  If your financials and joint assets are reasonable, I don't think you will have an issue.  Good luck.

 

My calculations seem to indicate that less than 1% of I-751s are actually denied.

Based on report of USICS that they gave us on their website. I did math on their numbers and found out 5% cases were denied.

Hi,

 

I paid the biometrics fee but was told recently that they’d use the fingerprints from a previously filed form due to Covid-19. Am I going to get a refund on the fee I paid?

From USCIS Site:

When you send a payment, you agree to pay for a government service. Filing and biometric service fees are final and non-refundable, regardless of any action we take on your application, petition, or request, or if you withdraw your request.

I don’t know how this is funny? It’s a serious question and I certainly don’t want to be deemed a “public charge” per the links below, and it affect my immigration:

https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/receiving-public-benefits-travel-potential-inadmissibility-green-card-holder.html

 

 

 

 

OK let me explain to you:

1. Public charge did not effect ROC at all. Read it all and find RIGHT INFORMATION PLEASE
2. Your company is temporarily closed in 2 WEEKS ONLY not permanently. If it's closed, find another job instead of waiting government benefits 

Thanks

Lol no

There is a new rule on public charge that comes into effect soon - https://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/public-charge-inadmissibility-final-rule-revised-forms-and-updated-policy-manual-guidance

 

Basically if the resident alien has accepted public benefits in the past or their financial situation signals to USCIS or the officer that they could be a potential public charge (relying on government benefits/welfare) , then their application could be denied.

 

In my case I had applied for I-751 (as my marriage ended in divorce) but it was denied previously because the divorce case was pending in court, and USCIS needs the divorce decree to process the application. With the denial of my I-751  I was told I have to surrender my Green card and await NTA at court. The NTA didnt come for about 1.5 years so I am reapplying with I-751 with more proofs and divorce decree this time as my divorce concluded in court. But during this time because of the termination of my green card , I couldnt work, and hence had to rely on government benefits (like food stamps and Medicaid) for about 2 years. I also applied for the fee waiver for I-751 while reapplying the second time. I also have considerable credit card debt and would be filing for bankruptcy to clean the slate and begin afresh.

 

I have the following queries if someone can help me with it:

1) While my second application is processed, would my reliance on government benefits and the lack of a job now (I cant work without a valid Green card and which I wont get until I-751 is successfully processed) be considered as public charge and thus I-751 denied ? 

2) Even if my I-751 application is approved and I get my green card, and I travel out of the country and re-enter, can the officer consider my past reliance on public benefits and bankruptcy as public charge and deny me entry ?  Is this a risk I will carry on, thereby limiting my travel outside US  ?

 

Thanks for any advise in this regard. 

Public charge did not affect i-751, it's only affect to person who want to apply green card or change their status in US only

Hey everyone! We applied in September and got my fingerprints taken October 16th. Since then USCIS case shows all fingerprints were taken. My question is - if they decide to send RFE will it show in case status? I am asking coz we changes our address not long time ago, I did notify USCIS but just want to make sure that if they send us RFE it will show somewhere.

 

Thank you and hope for all of us to get thru this waiting game easy with as least stress as possible ( right lol)

It will show in your case status and you will receive letter about that.

 Hi sorry! Yes, we would be traveling by land not by plane* I forgot to state that originally

 

 

If you went outside us it’s meaning international travel.Right? Does it matter you went by plane, boat or walking. You have to meet officer at the border each country. Does it make sense?

Hi VJ,

 

My wife filed Injunction against me based on false domestic violence. I violated injunction twice and now I have a felony and misdemeanors charges on me. My conditional residency is expiring in June 2020. Felony is for aggravated stalking which was not threat in nature. My state is Florida.

• What would be the possible outcome in my case?
• What I can do at the time of applying removal of condition?
• Can my felony and misdemeanor be dropped?
• Any advise that I can save my immigration by negotiating by state prosecutor?   
• Can I negotiate to short the probation so that it will not effect my immigration or I can later apply in court to dismiss the probation? 
• I accepted permanent injunction in court to secure safety of my ex?
• We are still going through divorce process and my ex offered me uncontested divorce. However she is trying her best to destroy me, it is a narcissist rage?
• Though my charges are violation of Injunction, however if i will show the proof to prosecutor that it was false accusation of domestic violence, will he consider to give me some relief while negotiating case? 

Remember this is USA not India. I think the best thing for you is ready for getting back to India. I don’t think they will approve your permanent green card. That will hurt you i know but that’s true.
