There was no biometrics appt with my NOA1, so I'm hoping they don't need one. If they do, we'll just deal with it when the request comes.
 
"If we need biometrics from you, we will send you a SEPARATE appointment notice with a specific date, time and place for you to go ..."
 
You can look up the average time for processing at the various centers here: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
 
For i-751 for LIN, it's showing 15.5 - 23 months (at the upper limit, that seems to be the longest all the service centers). Some of us will undoubtedly be able to apply for citizenship before we get our i-751s approved. That's what a friend of ours did.

Binders and plastic covers are a waste. They take everything out and throw those away.  Just stack everything and put it in the envelope.   Our packet was sent out yesterday.  Here we go again 😬

Got the NOA1 text this morning, case was assigned to LIN (Lincoln, Nebraska?)
eff date was March 18.

I got a text message from USCIS this morning confirming my case was received. Good luck for March members! 

I received my I-797 NOA on Saturday 03/16/19 the notice date is 03/08/19.

the two places to file the i-751 are lockboxes and the i-751 is eligible for credit card payment. You didn't screw up. Other people paid by credit card and I filed mine with the credit card payment form as well. It was also a surprise to me that we could pay by credit card now.

i just did one with the full amount of $680.

Hi,
I hope that everyone's process preparing and sending package goes well. I just received my 18months extension letter today, exactly 8 days after we sent my package.
Next coming thing should be the appointment for fingerprints but after reading some other posts, I believe that I will not be required to do it again.
 
Have a good weekend and good luck, we are the best 😎

Thank you for the responses. We're done preparing the packet. I'll put it in the mail on Monday.

1. in part 7 the name in "Acknowledgement of Appointment at USCIS Application Support Center" should be pop up by itself if you fill in you name in Part 1 question 1, but sometime people didn't have middle name so it won't pop out itself, you can print it out and hand writing with black pen
 
2. that's not relevant. If you want to receive text or email, you should file G-1145 with you application. It's no harm to include G-1145 in each of them, in case USCIS lost them, ha
 
that's the information I know so far!

USCIS will send you in the mail, according recently feedback, they give out 18 month extension
If your green card is almost expire and you need to travel, then you go get the stamp (however, I read some posts, people said sometimes they will take your green card, and sometime the extension is just one year (so far I saw one post said)
 
what I observed recently...hope it helps

Good morning folks!
I just received a text message from USCIS that my case was received with a receipt #WAC........... saying that I should receive my I-797 by mail soon.
I tried to add this receipt # on my USCIS online account with no success since an error message is showing up. 
It might take some time but the good thing is that they received the package and cashed the money. 

Preparing wife's app for ROC. In section 5, do we list her children, even though it's an adult child not part of her application? (He's still living and staying in Thailand.)
 
Thanks in advance,
David
 

Yanisa was approved at the interview this morning. Her actual interview only lasted 2 minutes. They asked her 3 questions.
Where did you meet?
Who is this person? (showing a pic of me.)
Where does he live?
I happened to be in Bangkok at the same time her interview was scheduled, waiting across the street at a Starbucks nearby.
We also met another nice couple, he's from Hawaii also. She was also approved.

Very nice to hear-- Congratulations!

I just read your story in your profile, it's so "sweet"
Wish you luck in making progress with the NVC.
