together-forever

I have filed I-751, Removal of Conditions, in Dec 2011. I am currently holding an expired 2 year Conditional Permanent Resident Card along with the 1 year extension letter. As of today we still havent received my Biometrics Appointment letter, it has been 65 days now since we received NOA1.

Since January 2011 my husband and me have been staying in Germany due to several factors. My mother had serious health issues which caused an extreme hardship on my family in Germany. Besides that we also received bad news during a routine doctors visit - my body had developed precancerous cells. Unfortunately at that the time we had no healthcare coverage due to my husband ending his contract with the Army. Going to Germany temporarly seemed for us the most practical choice since we were able to support my family and for me to get the needed medical attention which was available to me in my home country.

In November 2011 my husband and I made a trip to the U.S. to gather all the documents for the filing of I-751. My husband and me had to return to Germany for a little while since I had to undergo some more medical follow-ups. AT POE the CBP office didnt allow me entering the county using my Greencard for the reason that it was expiring the next day. I was told that my Greencard wasnt good for the length of trip to the U.S. and that I had to use Visa Waiver. I told him that I was a Permanent Resident living in the States, that my Greencard is still good to enter the U.S. and that it doesnt have to be valid for the length of my trip. I was forced to do the Visa Waiver otherwise I would have not been allowed in the U.S. at all.

I did some research on here. If my trip to the States isnt counted then I would be out of the U.S. for more than 1 year. Is this why I havent received my biometrics appointment letter yet? Is my LPR status terminated?

My husband and me would like to return home now and we are not sure if I will be let in the U.S. with my expired greencard and the extension letter?

Thanks for all your help!!!

Thank you for adding me to the list. My filing date of I-751 was 12/07/2011, if you would like to add this.

My local office is in Tampa, FL. I have called USCIS on Friday, they opened a Service Request and said I should hear back from them within 15 days.

So let's wait and see!

Hello to all of you December filers!

We received NOA 1 on Dec 16 2011 but haven't received the Biometrics Appointment letter yet.

Wanted to check with you if you have had your appointments yet and how your timelines are coming along?

This will be another long ride with USCIS for us :-)

Good luck to all of you!

Thank you so much for your help!!!

"Just Bob" - No I dont have a valid visa stamped in my passport, I had a K-1 Visa that was just valid for 90 days to get married in the US and to adjust my status!!

I need some help from you guys who traveled and used their AP to go back to your homecountry!!?? Me and my husband wanna get our tickets soon to go to germany in december and spend the holidays there!!! I got my AP in the mail couple weeks ago but dont really know how to use it?!

My questions:

1. Are they gonna take out my white I-94 that was just valid for 90 days (expired August 28 09) when I entered with my K-1 Visa??

2. Dont I need that specific I-94 for an eventual green card interview??

3. Am I gonna get in trouble cause they are thinking the I-94 expired and I overstayed??

4. Am I gonna have any problems checking in at the airport in germany going back to the states cause they usually ask you if you travel for business of pleasure and for how long you gonna stay in the US!? I dont have my GC yet, so when I say I live in the US, are they gonna understand the deal with AP??

Thank you!!

Question to you all that already have received their NOA2 and maybe their packet 3! We received NOA2 March 19th and dhl tracking says that our paperwork was already dropped off at the embassy here in Frankfurt Germany! I haven´t received packet 3 yet but i already have filled out all the needed forms! I am going on a trip to the states on saturday for about 3 weeks, bought that ticket back in January! So my question is should I have my mom to send in the forms to the embassy when I will get packet 3 in the mail and just send out the checklist that I have all my stuff ready for the interview when I return back from my trip or should i just wait with all my forms and checklist till I return?

Any advice is very appreciated! :-)

Ellie and David congrats to your NOA2! Looks like that did work out great for you, being with your sweetheart and receiving big news! I´m happy for you! Well we received our RFE last monday and it was really just about question nr. 2 part C, we got it done and sent it right back in! On sunday Michael is coming to see me for a week, he is off from college and right in time uscis had a nice surprise for us:

WE GOT APPROVED MARCH 19!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kevin-Leilei just making thing clear, we for sure didn´t leave out some information intentionally just to win this race ha ha i could have bite myself in the butt when I figured about missing information cause this RFE could have been our approval :-(

Thank you so much Ellie-and-David! I guess it´s about not answering part C question 2! When we became member of vj our petition was already sent in and we figured that we forgot about making a cross in the box cause we thought that question wouldn´t need to be answered if your not military living abroad, i know the mistake alot of other people have made before! Oh well if it´s just that it should be easy to fix it! I will keep you updated!

We just got the info about a RFE, does anybody know if there is a difference between further and initial evidence? Thanks for your response!

We just got touched again and finally our case says after a couple touches that a RFE is on it´s way to us :-( does anybody know what´s the difference between furter and initial evidence??? thank you guys for any response

don´t forget we are still here as well! :-)

We are still here waiting :-(

Congrats to all that have received their NOA2, this past week was great, alot happened for us November filers! We got touched two days in a row but still no email and still showing case received and pending :-(

Congrats to you......best wishes!!! We just got our first touch since December 5th 08!

Congrats and best wishes to you all that already got their approval! Finally finally it seems like something is happening! Kevin&Leilei your not the only ones, we are still here with you waiting patiently for the NOA2!

Anything new with you guys??? You see anything happening? Any touches? We just passed 100 days since NOA1!

Keep in touch you K-1 November VSC filers!

omg....a VSC November filer!!!!

congrats and best luck to the rest of your journey

Ich weiß dass dieser Thread schon etwas älter ist, aber ich würd mich freuen, wenn mir hier einer von euch doch weiterhelfen könnte u. zwar habe ich eine Wirbelsäulenverkrümmung (Skoliose), die mich in keiner Weiße einschränkt oder irgendwelche Probleme macht, gilt dies als eine Krankheit? Oder würde dies Auswirkungen auf mein Medical haben??? Danke für eure Hilfe!!

My Fiancé is from New York States and I always fly in at JFK, so I was going to come in at JFK whenever K1 is approved but by reading this would it make sense to come in somewhere else???

Hi ranchomesa,

he needs to get in touch with the town hall of the town/city he was registered to the time he was living in germany! If you need more information just get back at me!

Stopping in here...just returned from my 3 and a half week trip to the states....I can´t believe what I read when I was looking at all these september october and november threads of CSC....I´m upset about what is going on right now...I´ve seen the first November filers of CSC getting approved...while it seems for us that we have we have a long wait on NOA2 ahead of us.....how you guys feeling about that???

Checking in quick on all my November buddies and all other V´J´s....I won´t be on here for a lil while cause the clock is ticking.....58 hours and I´ll be on my way home and spend a couple weeks and the holidays with my sweetheart and my new family!! See you all back on here next year :-) I know we all can´t wait for 2009 and a fast NOA2 to be in the mail and other good news the new year will hold for us!!!

Merry christmas to you all and a Happy New Year!!!

You all take care and keep me updated!!!

Jasmin

hey how you all doing? Just stopping by to drop all of you a line!

yeah we filed K1 and it´s the I-134, so that means for that form the whole poverty guideline thing and the household size doesn´t count???
