Hello,

I am in the process filing I-131. Have few queries. It would be really helpful, if someone (who has got his/her I-131 accepted without any issues) can clear my doubts.

Part 1

------

1. Is A number same as USCIS# in Green card?

2. Is Class of Admission same as Category in Green Card?

Part 3

-------

1. Date of intended Departure - Am planning to put an approximate future date of travel. Is that OK?

2. Expected length of trip - 6 months or more. Is that fine, as my stay outside USA may go beyond a year. Not sure at this point of time.

Part 4

------

1. Purpose of Trip - Medical. Need to know while coming back to USA, whether any documents need to be submitted.

How long did the overall process take for getting the reentry permit?

Thanks in Advance

If you feel that your stay may be more than a year you can apply for a reentry permit before leaving.

Thanks very much for the response.

Hello,

Myself a permanent green card holder in USA. For some medical reason, I may be travelling to India and there is a chance that my stay over there may get extended for months. It would be nice if you can advice me on

(1) how long can an NRI be outside USA and

(2) On any formalities I need to do in advance before I plan for the trip, as I want to avoid any issues (at port of entry) while coming back to USA.

Thanks

Thank you so much for the valuable guidance provided. My application got approved. Thanks once again.

You can use the receipt number from your biometrics letter to check your status on the USCIS case update page.

Approvals times will vary depending on whether your case is at CSC or VSC. CSC is turning them around very quickly (I have seen some as soon as 6 weeks after submission) whereas VSC is taking up to 6 months!

Check out the thread that corresponds to your NOA1 date to see where others with similar timelines stand.

Good luck.

This is normal; the biometrics appointment notice receipt number is your I-751 case number and the one you will use to track your case. Good luck!

Thanks a lot !

Hello, i am a little confused here. The I-797C has got receipt number, receipt date and receipt time. If I check against this receipt number, it says case cannot be found.

Also, I have with me the ASC appointment notice that has got application number and notice date. Checking against this application number finds the case and it says "Initial Review".

SO, my application number and receipt number are different. Is this a normal situation? Also, is NOA1 the receipt date and NOA2 notice date? Plz correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks once again

Probably not, I have yet to see any posts indicating USCIS confirming AR-11 or I-865.

Hello, me just having a query on our previous discussion. As per your guidance, we are done with AR11, I 865 and I 751. Now any mail from USCIS, comes to our new address. Thanks very much for your help. For I 751, my biometrics was taken sometime in March 2011. Usually how much time it takes for the new Green card to reach me? For the time being, I have an extension notice of 1 year till I get my new Green card. Is there any link available at USCIS site to check status of processing?

Thanks in advance.

I have not seen any posts regarding confirmation of AR-11 receipt but you shoud receive an I-79C acknowledging the I-865.

Hi, thanks very much. We are in the process of sending I 751 at the earliest and not waiting for any confirmation. Thanks.

You can file the I-751 now if you like, it is NOT dependent on the AR-11 and I-865 confirmations.

thanks. But will there be any confirmation that we receive as mail sometime later ?

On line will be immediate.

And yes only one AR-11 and one I-865 needed showing moving from address #2 to #3.

Hello, i have one more query.

I have submitted AR11 online and got a confirmation number. Will I be receiving any mail from USCIS stating that the address has got updated to the latest one? If so, in how many days will i receive the letter?

Also, we have posted I 865 today as certified mail.

Since the above are done from our end, when should we submit I 751?

thanks in advance....

On line will be immediate.

And yes only one AR-11 and one I-865 needed showing moving from address #2 to #3.

thanks so much...

Hello, thanks so much for the quick response.

So, what you suggest is, eventhough we stayed at different locations, I need to file only ONE AR 11 wherein we shifted from the Second to Third location.

I don't have to submit any AR 11 that shows the shift from First to Second location, eventhough my Greencard has got the First location as my mailing address. Am i correct?

Also, let me know how much time it'll take for AR 11 to get processed if I do it online?

thanks

1) One per green-card holder.

2) One

3) They go to different locations so are sent separately.

You can do AR-11 on line, send before filing I-751 to remove conditions.

Hello, pls find my scenario and advice how to go about....

The address in my Greencard (conditional), is that of where my husband stayed first.

Afterwards, he shifted to another location. Me came to USA and joined my husband at this second location.

Now we have purchased a home and shifted permanently to the third location.

We were not aware of AR11 or I 865 till this time. Now since we realise, we are in the process of submitting both ASAP before filing I 751.

Pls advice:

1. How many AR 11s I need to submit?

2. How many I 865s my husband need to submit?

3. Is it a better option to submit AR 11 amd I 865 together thru a single mail ? and then proceed for I 751?

OR

Do AR 11 online and then I 751. Parallely, submit I 865 ?

pls advice at the earliest. thanks
