It’s been over a month since I received my NOA and still no biometrics applied to my case which starts by msc by the way, so any ideas?

My finger print have not been applied yet to my case yet !!! It’s been almost a month now !!!

How would I know that they have applied the biometrics that I first got at the port of entry ? I see a lot of people saying applied online, what does that mean and how do I check that please ?

Everyone is supposed to get the extension letter. If you don't have it, you can't prove that your GC has been extended for an extra 18 months. And yes it says in the letter that you need to use the letter PLUS your card (even if it's expired) as proof of employment authorization and for travel (technically, the letter and card are used to let you back into the country since the US does not record exits). I thought you already asked this question in the big thread about traveling with the extension letter and it was answered???

I just wanted to read other experiences than yours, wanna make sure I don’t mess up in case I leave the country with an expired green card.

Why is it that some filers get extension letters and others don’t ?  And can you travel overseas with that document?

Hey sorry to hear about your RFE. I read that USCIS received your form after your 90 day period started. So was the issue instead that your signature on the form was dated earlier?  or perhaps it was postmarked too early?

Future filers could use this clarification if they are looking to file as early as possible and without getting it returned 🙂

Actually, they went with the postal stamp date on the envelope  which was a day earlier than required, this is kinda weird because the postal website was saying that they delivered It july 11th which would have been ok but when I got my package back I saw July 10th stamped on my envelope..... I have no explanation to that at all, it will stay a mystery!

The reason of rejection is that I filed a day earlier than the ninty day period so I resubmitted the form and here is the update :

I-751 Package received: 8/8/2020

check cleared:                  8/12/2020

Text message received with case # :          8/13/2020
 

good luck everyone!

August is the 8th month.

 

Or wait... are you a time traveler!?

Hhhhh I’m sorry I meant August 

After being rejected the first time due to a day early filing, here is the update of my second attempt:

9/8/2020 : Package received 

9/13/2020 : Check cashed out

9/14/2020 : Text message received with case number MSC.

Good luck everyone!

Is Phoenix lockbox open on weekends?

Your husband is joint petitioner technically. You are filing jointly since you are still married. So he is not the preparer, he is also the joint petitioner. You should have filled his name in the joint filing section. You are the conditional resident, he is the petitioner. 

 

Like @poh mentioned, you are quite lucky they let it go. preparer is someone who is official either the lawyer or the translator etc. 

 

There is no harm for the husband to be a preparer, in one of the pages it says I consent to bala bla where there’s a box just under that clarifies that May be not a lawyer or any accredited person so it can be anybody helping the non English speaker to fill out the paper it might as well be the husband.

I have done it before for the I130 and had no problem!!!!

The extension letter being referred to is the one that is automatically sent out to persons who have submitted an i-751 for removal of conditions on a 2 year green card. So they provide it to you once you successfully submit ROC. 

If another type of green card is expiring then an i-90 needs to be submitted for a new green card or a request for an i-551 stamp in the passport needs to be made. 

Thank you for the clarification I appreciate it.

Yes it says so in the letter in bold. This entire thread also has many accounts of people doing so. 

Do you have to apply for it or they just provide it to you ?

Can we travel overseas with the extension letter?

Was it received on the 11th or 13th?

The package was delivered the 13th according to the post office tracking website

Am I considered a preparer on form I-751 if I fill out the form for my wife who doesn’t speak English?

Can we travel overseas with the extension letter ?

On thé I-751 form where it says preparer, can it be the spouse of the petitioner or it has to be a lawyer or agency ?

Exactly 90 days prior to October 9th, 2020 is July 11th, 2020. I used the USCIS early filing calculator - it's for naturalization purposes but uses the same 90 day calculation so it should be just as accurate.

Yes but they received my form the 13th of July according to the post office so it does not make sense

Incorrect fees, missing signature or Too early, in your case my best guess is you or your spouse missed signed, Seems like you are really excited, so missing a signature is very much predictable 

I received the rejection letter today in the mail and the reason was that I filed it a little too soon for them I guess!!! I can’t believe that because they received my package the 13th of July and my green card expires 10/09/2020, please tell me if I did file prior to the 90 day period, this is absurd. Waisted a month for non sense

it happened to my case. idiots in the locbox rejected even though my petition was filed correctly. They wasted 40 days before sending it back so i spend another 20$ to send back the application again

Quick question, how did you find out about the rejection? Did you have to call to find out or it was updated on your myuscis account?

Called the uscis and spoke to one of the agent

My wife's ROC application was initially rejected due to her dumb husband insisting she didn't need to include a copy of her green card with her packet. He clearly did not follow the guides here on VJ. Whoops. 

 

It ultimately wasn't that bad of a delay. She got her GC around the same time as everyone else who submitted their I-751 (at least those who posted here on VJ). 

 

 

How long did it take to get the rejection letter in the mail ? I

mean when was it dated til you got it in the mail. Because I found out myself that my file was rejected so just wanna know when do I get the letter to see what I have done wrong.
