    Cornflake got a reaction from Meg101 in November 2022 I-751 Filers   
    Thank you!
    I just checked my USCIS account regarding the I-751, and it doesn't even indicate "interview scheduled" or anything of that nature, despite the fact that I received an interview schedule in the mail. The latest status is "February 8, 2023: Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken."

    It’s worth keeping an eye on your online USCIS account!!  I had a combo interview come through in the mail for the same day and time as the naturalisation interview and then out of the blue it was waived for unknown reasons.  I didn’t realise I had been approved for I751 until the greencard showed up in the mail! 
     
    Good luck to you! 😊

    Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing well. It's been a while since there was any movement on my case, so I'm excited to share that it's finally starting to move.
     
    **N-400 Application for Naturalization**
    - Submitted on November 10, 2023.
    - Biometric appointment was scheduled on November 11, 2023.
    - Interview for naturalization was scheduled on February 14, 2024.
    - Received the mail on February 20, 2024.
    - Interview is scheduled for April 5, 2024.
    - Received a mail titled "Request for petitioner to appear for initial interview" for the petition to remove conditions on residence on February 23, with the notice dated February 17, 2023. The interview is scheduled for the same date/time as the Interview for naturalization.
     
    I'm currently in Los Angeles, CA.
     
    Good luck to everyone!!!

    you really dont need a lawyer. you can write in simple English. Dont listen to lawyers.  i have filed a mandamus after 90 days of filing my ROC. Court has given USCIS 90 days to adjudicate. 
    each lawyer will have a different story. one firm will say 6 months another will say 12 months and another will say 2 years. what they say is as good as uscis processing time

    Today I checked my USCIS account and saw that the Case Status was changed as of January 30, 2023 to:  New Card Is Being Produced.
     
    My service center is MSC and the last status (prior to today) was two years ago  (December 15, 2021:  We are ready to schedule your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, for an interview.)  My husband and I never received a request for an I-751 interview.
     
    P.S. This was without having to make a N-400 application.

    Cornflake got a reaction from Chancy in Traveling on Extension Letter?   
    I just got back from my short vacation in Chile. I had a flight LA-Houston-Santiago, Chile, and another flight was Santiago, Chile-Mexico City-LA. Stupid me forgot that Mexico is not the country I should travel to or use as a transit country. I know that because a year ago my friend was going to spend a nice time in Cancun with her husband when they (don't remember which airline it was) didn't let her even do a check in because she has an expired green card and an extension letter, which they don't accept. 
     
    A day before my flight back to Los Angeles I realized that I have 2 hours layover in Mexico city, which is not a good thing. I decided to apply online for Mexican electronic visa just in case of any issues with my extension letter. Even though I wasn't planning even go out of the airport in Mexico. Anyway, only citizens from Russia, Türkiye and Ukraine can get electronic "visa" online. I successfully received my Mexico Electronic Travel Authorization within 2 minutes. 

    Check in at Santiago de Chile airport went smoothly, without any issues, they asked for my Green Card, and I gave them my extension letter as well. The problem was at the Mexico city airport. 

    First of all, Mexico City doesn't have transit zones, like, for example, different cities in Europe have, which means you have to go through all the checkpoints as if you're leaving the airport. It's not a big deal, but in that case, you have to have a proper visa to enter Mexico (if you're from the country which requires you to have a visa). And once again they don't accept or don't like (I don't know) these extension letters paired with an expired green card. When I arrived in Mexico City a woman at the checkpoint didn't speak English at all, and I don't speak Spanish. She asked for a visa, I showed her the Electronic Travel Authorization I received a day ago. She check it, checked something on the computer, and started filling out my information on a piece of paper. That not went well. She told me to follow her, and apparently, I ended up in the room for the second screening. She pointed to that paper several times telling me to sign it, every time I replied to her that I'm not gonna sign anything written in Spanish because I don't understand what's in there. Someone who worked in that room barely could speak English and explained to me that the paper said there was some alert when she check my name in the system. I said I'm not gonna sign anything anyway until I get the same paper but in English. They took my phone, and separated me from my husband. Long story short. Then they brought me an English version of that paper, but this time it said that there are some issues with my visa, not an alert thing. A man who looked like a boss was running back and forth with my passport and some other papers back and forth, and after like 30 min of waiting he came to me and said all good, don't worry, here is your mexican stamp in your passport, you can go. Also, he said that woman who brought me to that second screening room did a mistake and she thought I have one thing ( I didn't understand which one), but I have this Electronic Travel Authorization, so I have no problem entering Mexico.

    So the bottom line is: do not recommend travel to Mexico with an expired green card, and an extension letter.

    Well folks, I finally got lucky. WAC filer here. Had and RFE sent to me in October 2022(lost almost the whole pile of docs), replied to them in January, they acknowledged receiving it on Jan 10. Today as a part of my morning routine I clicked to renew the page for checking MyCase and it happily shines from there “New Card is being produced”.
