Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionBiometrics letter received but not NOA1
Hello!

I am posting in behalf of a friend who called me yesterday about his situation. He said that his employer is asking for his NOA1 letter that states that his greencard was extended for a year. He received the Biometrics appointment letter but due to his employer asking about the NOA1, he just now realized that he did not receive the NOA1 letter.

I know.. i know... i have redirected him to visajourney about immigration stuff, but he said that he doesn't like to read... so now... anyway...

He called USCIS and got very frustrating call/s with whoever was answering the phones.. He was escalated to a senior call center rep and was informed that they are not mailing out NOA1 anymore, which I know is NOT true since I got mine. He's in California. His employer wants the NOA1. What do you think could be done for this so he could show his employer that he is in the process for removing conditions that they would accept? Can they resend NOA1, since he didn't receive it in the first place? Lawyer of his employer does not accept the Biometrics letter he received.

Any suggestions?

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionA couple of questions about our packets/evidence
If this would help, i submitted proof of benificiary, showing my husband as benificiary, from the company's online web service. I logged into my account from the company's official website and under benificiaries, I printed that page. I just blocked out the account nos etc...

For the bank statements, I provided three statements in a year for the last 3 years, showing the timeline of our marriage...



Hello Everyone -

I thought I'd put all of my questions (for now, ha!) in one place. I appreciate advice from those who have experience or special knowledge about this procedure.

1. I'm having a hard time getting my insurance company to send me a letter stating that my husband is listed as beneficiary and also that he's listed as a dependent. I requested this letter weeks ago, it still hasn't come. When I log in to my benefits account, however, my husband is clearly listed as a dependent. Does anyone have experience/opinions about using printouts from information online as opposed to letters?

2. Is an affidavit from our landlord as good as a lease, or is a lease agreement better? (To establish living in the same household.) We're also sending in copies of bills from both that come to our address. A couple in my name, others in his name.

3. Is it important for bills/bank statements to have a variety of different dates on them?

Thanks.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionCase disappeared?!
Hello!

This happened to me too... but after you received your biometrics letter (appointment), when you check your case status, use the case no from the biometrics appointment letter and let us know if you are still having issues? I tried my biometrics case no and it worked for me.



Hello everybody!
I don't know what's happening with my case, and I'd like to ask you if you ever heard of anything like this... It's probably common, but it might not be, so I'm not sure what to think or do about it.
I filed at the beginning of November, they cashed my check and sent me a NOA extending my resident status for a period of one year. I was scheduled for biometrics in December, and I had them done. Since then I checked my case status online a few times, I used to be able to do that, and then it disappeared. For the past few weeks, every time I try to check it online, it doesn't show up, I just get a message saying they can't find my case and my reference number. I called them, and they couldn't find it by phone either. Someone there said there might be a glitch (?) in the system, and I shouldn't worry about it. That was a few weeks ago, and still every time I try to find my case online I get the same response, like it doesn't exist anymore. What should I do? Is this normal?

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionMoving after filling ROC
Ok, the earliest you can file is Feb 6, 2011... YOu can file now to the service center that is in jurisdiction of your current state and once you move just make sure that you contact them right away (within 10 days after you move). You may be lucky if you receive it before you move (possible but unlikely) but if not, you need to file the Change of address immediately when you get to the new place. This however you cannot do online thru the website.. You have to call them..

Here is the link for information about the change of address. http://www.uscis.gov...ticle/F2eng.pdf
https://egov.uscis.g...ction=coa.Terms

Below is an excerpt from the fact sheet in the USCIS website.
"If You Are a Permanent Resident and You Have a Case
Pending With USCIS:
If you have filed any application or petition with us, and it is still
pending a decision, you should keep us informed of any change
of address so you can get any notices or decisions from us. You can now do this electronically on our website for most applications and petitions at the same time you complete your Form AR-11
electronically. Filling out the electronic Form AR-11 is only the first
step. We will ask you for some information about your pending case.
Please have the following information available:
• Your receipt notice or other notice we sent you showing your
receipt number;
• Your new address;
• Your old address;
• The names and biographical information for the person or
persons for whom you have filed;
• When you last entered the United States (if you cannot
remember, please fill in an approximate date); and
• Where you last entered the United States (the port of entry you
entered – land, sea or air)."

My GC expires may 6th and bc i didnt kno when in the month of april i am moving to the east coast i thought that it would be easier here and i would not have to wait till the last minute. Another thing is that my husband is in the military and we are getting ready to go overseas and i need to get my GC asap

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionMoving after filling ROC
assuming your greencard will expire May 11, 2011 (basing from your sig timeline) the earliest you can file for ROC is Feb 11, 2011 (90 days)... if it's me, i will move to new location first and will send my packet with my ar11 confirmation (change of address can be printed from when you do it online) to the respective service center in jurisdiction of the state I moved to... As long as the move takes place within 90 days before my 2-year greencard expires. I will give it at least two weeks before greencard expires, just in case something unexpected happens.
T_and_ANot TellingPhilippines2011-02-03 14:17:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionMoving after filling ROC

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionROC notice - confuse
Hello!

What is the exact wording you got...

usually, it will say something like, if you have not done so, please provide supporting documents... but if you already did... no more worries.

That's normal.. the same as mine.


Hello.
I submit my ROC last Jan 20, 2011 and I recieved my first notice last Jan 24, 2011. I'm confuse why they are asking for tax return, rental agreement, copy of insurance policy.I already submitted everything. Does anyone here had the same problem as mine? What did you do? Does the removal of condition will take long if there is a discrepancy or problem? Please help.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionReminder later from the USCIS
it's normal. I got a reminder from USCIS 3months before my greencard was about to expire. You are in the right track.

Hi Everyone!

Wow very long time that I didnt came here!

I have a question!

My conditionnal green card expires on June 25 2011. So I started to get ready to fill the form to remove the conditions on March 25th.

What a surprise when yesterday I got a mail from the USCIS that remind me to do so!

Am I the only one to get a reminder?


T_and_ANot TellingPhilippines2011-03-06 20:03:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionCan you travel outside of the US with Conditional Green Card during 90 days filing period?
What kind of visa did you come in for? K1? Your timeline doesn't add up. You said your 2-year conditional visa expired Feb 5, 2011? you should have filed for removal of conditions before your card expiration. It's already past that date now.

I currently have a conditional 2 yr greencard. My card will expire Feb 5 2011.
I'm supposed to file to remove conditions in November 7 2011 but I've planned to travel outside of the US from October 12 to November 22.
I was wondering if I could apply just after my trip. Would that be okay?

Would my conditional greed card be sufficient for my re-entry to the US if I didn't file the I-751 before? I just heard someone say that you should do it early in the 90 day window.

Thank you.

What we did is just bought a folder with pockets in it... and i just make sure that it has the a# on each of the pages...


I have a silly question about putting the pkg together, I honestly cant remember from the K1, and AOS. How should the package be fastened. Should the whole thing be stapled? left loose? Should I staple or just paper clip the check?
