eXTRemNoD

I have very similar situation. Need to get DL, got biometrics appoint but not NOA1. Went today for Infopass. They took GC and stamped my passport but the stamp is good for 6 months only since today (GC expired a month ago). Told that thats how they do it - I might choose between keeping my GC and waiting my extension letter or lose my GC and get a stamp. I chose the second as I needed to go get my licence NOW.

LuckyStrike, did they take ur wife's GC?

is stamp valid for 1 year, not 6 monthS????

what DMV saying, are they accepting the stamp???

i dont think they MUST send the noa1 first, but in my case they did but i didnt get it. i think the key is to enter your account number from the noa2 you received into the online case status and see what comes up. if you get the message saying your noa1 was mailed to you (as i did) but never got it in the mail, then you can make your argument for a replacement copy. if you didnt get that message, then they will say that you must wait 90 days to request your replacement.

its saying that you ve been mailed instructions what to do now. and YES i got instruction to appear for fingerprints. would love to think their own my extension too.

I anyway wanna make infopass appoinment.

very often, when women do things like this, they have many reasons to do so. Are you sure she (and a child) wasnt abused by you? think of this plz. Sure its not a reply to ur answeres... Good luck with having the family back.

Thanks for your replies it's helped me relax a lil. The only thing is I can only get one affidavit from a girl friend of mine, I had asked another friend but she is to busy and won't be able to get it notarized. do you think it's worth only including one affidavit? or should i just leave it out all together?

since almost a month had passed, i assumed it was lost in the mail. i called the uscis "help" line and was told to wait 90 days. this is of course no help since the green card will have expired by then. but when i told them about the above entry to my online case, they changed their tune and said i should have already received it. when i said i didnt, they said they would issue me a duplicate. i didnt hold my breath, but was SHOCKED to find my NOA1 in yesterday's mail along with a cover letter stating that the enclosed was a duplicate. so we've got our 1 yr extension now!

how long did it take to get it in mail since ou phone call?

thank you, LuckyStrike!

I called the first number in your post (customer service) but didnt talk to alive person (anybody remember what to press after what in their menu? as their options were not quite clear for me), as they kept saying that "our representatives dont have any additional info then indicated in your online status (I have the same as in the 1st post of this topic)

They recieved my application on July 30th (I sent to NEbraska, but its in CA now), then I got biometrics appointment which is september 18th. Green Card already expired. I have no american DL, just one from my native country.. was pulled over not long ago. So I really need to get american licence before the court date.

who knows... Can I ask my local office to give my 1y GC extention during taking biometrics??? sometimes they stamp your passport about this...

ForYOu, what HELP number did you call??? I need my extention BADLY (got NOA2 only)
