Hubby was placed in AP due to an unresolved driving without a license court case that we were unaware existed prior to leaving (despite numerous follow up phone calls years after the arrest). After 2 1/2 months off convincing the judge that hubby would go to jail, pay a fine, and go on probation, the judge allowed the plea in absentia. April 12th hubby sent the notarized papers to the judge and the case was finally closed in the U.S! The notarized papers were sent back to hubby with the judge's signature and about a week later hubby sent the paperwork along with his unrequested passport to the consulate. It was a gamble that paid off, because April 28th his visa was issued! |

Hubby had to do 10 days in jail for driving without a license and I was so nervous that they would send him straight to jail from the airport. I was graduating that Friday with my Master's, which we had talked about for years! I had him carry a copy of my graduation announcement in case he could ask to go to jail after graduation.
Thankfully, hubby said the worker who called him over was very nice and reminded him that he had to go to jail. He explained he was aware and would be going later that month (he had 30 days upon entry to turn himself in). He said she said that was fine, stamped his passport and said welcome to America! |

We sent our packet on 1/27/19 and it arrived on 1/30/19 instead of 1/31/19 and was rejected. We received it and resent it on 2/25/19. It arrived on 2/26/19 and we received a text on 3/1/19 with the case number. Checks cashed and NOA received 3/4/19.
We had a combo interview on 2/4/21 and were approved. I don't think we'll receive the 10 year green card. |

US CIS Local Office ReviewsTimeline Comments: 1Hi! I read a few of your posts regarding I-751. I think you said that you guys started of at Texas but were transferred to National Benefits. We are in a similar boat. We filed last month, August 2019, but two weeks later we were transferred to National Benefits. Can I ask how long after your 3/1 NOA did your transfer happen? Moreover, once transferred, how long before you received your biometrics appointment? I'm trying to gauge how things might work our for us. We live in Georgia too, so Atlanta is our local office. Thanks so much for your time and for sharing your timeline!
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
