That way you know what info is needed.

 

If mental health info is needed, then you are prepared for it as you file out the I-90

FYI a quick search of the instructions does not mention anything about you submitting health info

Thank you for your assistance!

I have read the form and it's instructions. There is nothing pertaining to mental health on it, nor health or anything medical in general.

Have you read through the form. Is there anything on it that asks about your health?  How would they possibly know what you have been diagnosed with? 

No there is absolutely nothing to do with anything medical on the form. 

Hi there,

It will soon be time for me to renew my permanent resident card which I know I have to do by filing form I-90 within the 6 months of my card expiring. I have a question though. During my time as a permanent resident I was diagnosed with a couple of mental illnesses. I know that there is no medical examination to renew my green card but could this affect anything? I have never committed a crime. I've wound myself up into quite a panic and am quite stressed about this.

Thanks in advance

GC received today

I was approved on 03/11/2013 someone added the date to the list but the last two updates my approval is not on there.

My card was mailed to me 2 days ago, I have the tracking number.

This is an OFFICIAL answer I got when I asked this question on the CBP website:

Thank you for contacting the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) INFO Center.

Based on the information you have provided you need to provide your Notice of Action I-797 at time of travel. Many airlines will not board passengers with an expired green card - unless they have a Notice of Action (Form I-797) verifying that they have applied to replace it - in addition to the expired card, and - depending on where you are going, an unexpired passport.

Thank you again for contacting the CBP INFO Center.

Sincerely,

CBP INFO Center

I filed in June 2012 and I am still waiting. There are people that filed before me and are still waiting.

Some of Vermont's cases were also transferred to Nebraska (according to the USCIS Twitter) which may explain some of the inconsistencies in timing.

My attorney said some of her I751 cases are taking longer than a year.

Glad to see people had no issues! I am going on a trip back to the UK for 12 days in April and my case is still pending (June Filer) so I will have to use the letter. I've been nervous about doing so.

It seems there is no rhyme or reason on the processing times. There are people that filed after me that have been approved, people that filed before me that are still waiting. It's a ####### shoot.

Good luck, please check back and let us know how you get on!

You can't file to remove conditions earlier than the 90 days that precedes the expiration of your Green Card. Period. So you can file in August.

As for the rest of the questions, I would consult with an experienced Immigration Attorney. We are not qualified to advise you on such matters.

The above form gives you instructions on how and when to file.

If I were you, I'd contact the US Embassy for advice. You ARE for all intents and purposes still a Conditional Permanent Resident, your status hasn't changed but you don't have any proof of that right now. You may run into issues boarding the aircraft on the way back. You also may have issues at the POE when you get back to the US. Nobody can tell you what's going to happen. The Embassy SHOULD be able to provide you with some proof of your status to get you home safely.

I filed early June and still haven't heard anything so yes, definitely for real.

It seems I may also have an issues when the time comes for my GC being mailed. When my attorney changed my address with USCIS they only changed it with the # on the original NOA/Extenstion letter. The # that is on the ASC Appointment Notice and the one we use for tracking shows no address change. So I called USCIS, they can't confirm what address they have on file apparently. I had them change my address on the correct case number but it may not go through in time. So it's possible that when my new GC is mailed it will go to my OLD address. Luckily I have a forwarding service with USPS which means it won't be delivered there, it will just get sent back to USCIS.

So annoying. You'd think my attorneys office would have picked up on this. I'm making an infopass appointment to go and find out what's going on with my address.

Congrats everyone! I'm jealous

Instead, I will start my own countdown! 26 days until I make an infopass appointment for David to get the passport stamp so we can go to Morocco! The trip's not until June, but our local office (Baltimore) is super busy and the dates go very quickly. More irritating is that he has to take a personal day in order to do it and doesn't get very many at his job...

Hang in there! I am still waiting too... Our time will come soon

It is taking at least 7 months right now for approvals. Longer at the Vermont Service center.

To clarify I will only be gone for 12 days so will be back way before the Letter expires. I just was worried that if my case is approved whilst I'm away that I wouldn't be able to get back into the US without my new GC.

Nice to see some VSC filers getting approved. Though it's a little disheartening that people who filed after me are getting approved. I get there is never any rhyme or reason on how USCIS does things, I see people that filed in May are still waiting. Doesn't make any sense. Congratulations to everyone approved so far! Crossing my fingers I hear something soon, I haven't had any RFE's which I guess is a good sign.

I am aware that I can travel with my Passport, Expired Green Card and Extension Letter. I travel overseas to the UK in April and my letter is good until June. I am still waiting for my ROC to be approved and it's possible that it may be approved before I go and if that's the case it won't be an issue. What I'm worried about is if they approve it whilst I've overseas and mail my GC to me whilst I'm away. Will I still be able to get back into the US with my Expired Card and Letter?

Hope you are all hanging in there! I checked the processing times for VSC and they have just started working on January 2012 applications. We got another five months before they get to us.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Biometrics notice came in the mail today. July 24th is the date.

My attorney's office received my NOA1 yesterday, dated 06/07/2012. I have yet to get a copy, she did say that in instances where someone uses an attorney they are inconsistent with if they sent them to both parties. If I don't have a copy by the end of the week, she's gonna send me the copy they have.
