I don't understand , can u give me more detail what was happened???


Nothing, I'm just being a pessimist. I'm one of those people that if I join the shortest line in a store then the other lines will move faster. If I overtake a car to get into a fast lane, the car ahead of me will break down. I'm used to it. Don't ind me.

Hi guys,

My husband's two year green card expires in June of 2009, and we'll apply for lifting of conditions. I know that he will receive the extension for one year, but does anyone have advice about whether travel during this year long wait outside the US is okay.

Thanks!


Make sure he has that letter, as my husband had forgotten his one time and was not allowed on the airplane in his country. I had to come home alone on the flight and fedex him the letter when I got back. Not a pretty picture. crying.gif mad.gif headbonk.gif oops8rh.gif protest6wz.gif ranting33va.gif (All the emotions we went through at the airport.) Good luck and have fun!


OUCH! That sucks. I travelled last year with expired green card, NOA and passport and was checking that I had all three more often than I was checking my boarding pass. I'm not paranoid, I just KNOW something bad will happen.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionRuling may end FBI name checks
and THIS ONE which makes me think that because George W wants to grants tens of thousands of illegal immigrants a legal status that the rest of us who went through legal channels in the first place are now suffering.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionRuling may end FBI name checks
This is kinda interesting, and could affect some of us.

Link to Daily News

In short a federal judge ruled it was unlawful for the USCIS to require FBI name checks before deciding a naturalization case. While the USCIS continues to fight the decision, lawyers for the plaintiffs (the permanent residents suing the government) are confident of victory.

Which means that sueing the USCIS DOES work.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionNebraska Removed Conditions

Just a quick question and I hope I will get some help from you.
I have been waiting for over a year now to know more about my case who is sitting in Nebraska since February 16th 2007.
I filed to remove conditions and as far as I know they have been working on case from february 10th.
M husband and I want to go to viit my family in Europe soon.
I just would like to know if some of you who filled around that date got an approval.
Many thanks

Rejane


My NOA is two weeks ahead of yours and I've not ben approved yet. I've seen one approval that was a month before mine, so i'm going on the wild assumption that it's currently takeing 13 months to process and I SHOULD get something next week. I keep my signature and timeline up to date.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionFilling Immigration Timelines
I actually like the database here. At least it's accurate (more so than the USCIS in anycase). If people's timeline say they've been approved, then I know they've been approved. It's handy to see someone on a similar time line to me and get an indication of how far behind I am. Especially with Nebraska's weirdness.

I know for a fact (unless they are mistaken or lying) that people have been approved through the NSC this year without being transferred to another service centre. But the USCIS doesn't tell you that.

But hey, it's a choice. If people want to keep their timelines updated so other people get an indication of whats going on with them, then that's great. If other people don't care and don't bother, then that's great too.

It takes no effort, so I will be keeping my timeline updated.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionGetting Passport Stamped for Travel
Yeah, I was asked for proof of travel before I could get a stamp. but I've not heard anyone else being asked. Seems unfair that we should need proof to get a further extension just because the USCIS couldn't process an application within their own time frame. Maybe they should start givin out 2 year extensions when I751 are filed. Perhaps that solution is too obvious.

I heard the first part, but where did you hear that they aren't transfering the onces they have? It was crazy before, but that would be insane.

QUOTE (tomcat79 @ Mar 15 2008, 02:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked at the processing times for I-751's at Nebraska. Still on July 2006? That's insanity! I filed my I-751 back in July 2007 and I thought it must have been getting close so I decided to do some research.
Can someone who knows more than me help me with a few questions I have;


Can't say I know more than you. Nebraska was filing applications from Feb 07 but reverted to July 06 a few weeks ago.

QUOTE
-My I-797C notice of action & 1 yr. extension expires on 7/2/08. Will they automatically send me an extension?

No. Once the extension expires you will not get another. I (and a number of us) have set up an info-pass so that I can get a stamp in my passport to allow me to travel.

QUOTE
-Travelling back to Australia in December proved to be quite risky even though my extension says it's good for travel. I got completley grilled by both Australian and US Customs, I was barely allowed on my flight to L.A from Brisbane. Am I really trapped in the U.S until my form is processed? It's so frustrating!


I had some problems, but nothing I couldn't explain to them. This was with the extension though. not sure how it will work with the stamp.

QUOTE
-Why don't they transfer forms to the other service centers? California, for example, says they are already working on application filed in August 2007! In fact, everywhere else is up to nearly march 2007 except Nebraska!


They do. In fact, i'm surprised you haven't been transferred. I filed in Feb 07 and seem to be in the group of unlucky people that weren't transferred and have to wait for the applications to drip through Nebraska.
If you look at some of the other threads there is word going around that Nebraska aren't handling any I-751's

QUOTE
I can't believe how frustrating establishing residency in the U.S is! I've been married now since april 2004 & a alien resident since 2001. This INS nightmare just keeps continuing. Surely there has to be a light at the end of the tunnel?


Yup. The idea is that it's to stop immigrants having false marriages in order to get 10yr green card and then they turn around and allow all illegal immigrants the option to becoming legal. Frustraing is a word.

Thanks for any help or reaasurance

Sorry I wasn't much help and very little reassurance. Just know that there are people, a lot of people, at Nebraska still waiting from the end of 06.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionA bit deflated
You're not alone. i got a RFE a few days ago. I thought I'd sent enough, but I guess not. I'm in a similar situation to you. The mortgage was in place before I got married so my name's not on that, same with utilities. But luckily my wife and I just filed joint tax returns so we will have that. She's also on my medical insurance and we have joint bank accounts. Strangely enough I did send tax return and bank statements last time too. But that was in january 07, so this will at least be newer additional proof.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionNew processing times - is the USCIS lying?
I just got an RFE sad.gif But hey! I got something from the USCIS!!! Guess I'll flood them with evidence now. At least things are moving. How's that for looking on the brightside?

... all these documents I have to carry: the expired PRC, the extension letter, and the stamp!

Is the stamp you mentioned a I-551 stamp, in your passport or on a I-94(?) form? Then you wouldn't need to carry the expired PRC and the extension letter with you anymore, the stamp replaces both of them.



The officer who put the stamp in my passport specifically said that I would need the expired green card and the 1yr expired extension letter in order to get through immigration. Maybe you do, maybe you don't. personally I'm not carrying my passport around with me, but I will take it, my GC and my letter when I go to England next month. Although I'm still hoping for my 10yr GC by then.

Maybe someone can explain to me why they call it a permanent card when it comes with either a two or a ten year expiration date.


I always assumed that the permanent means us as people and not the card itself since we actually live here. We are permanent in as much that we don't have any plans on leaving the country (for more than a vacation at least). Even with a 2 year green card we are permanent residents. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, I got one too. Mine doesn't say where it's been transferred to either.
14 months just to be transferred to GodKnowsWhere.
Surely the USCIS don't make mistakes. blink.gif

"You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done, counting from when USCIS received it." - Difficult to do when you can't tell where your application is.

Updating the list to show my I-551 stamp.
Didn't get a lot of information. The officer didn't have specific details and just told me that Nebraska was processing applications from December 06.
I didn't bother explaining that the website was set at July 06 or that it had gone back in time from Feb 07.
No point talking to the monkey when the organ grinder isn't around. And i'm not too sure there is an organ grinder.

02-16-07 - NOA1
03-23-07 - Biometrics
03-17-08 - Card production ordered


Excellent news. Congratulations. I filed two weeks before you so should be approved ... oh wait.
I guess bugging them a lot does make a difference. I have an info pass tomorrow. Maybe I'll be able to push things along.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionNew processing times - is the USCIS lying?
I noticed there is an email you can write to if you have a complaint about the USCIS. So I emailed it asking about the 6 month back track, about NSC not processing I-751 , about people who filed just a few months ago getting approved when a lot of us have been waiting well over a year, and a few other things. I got a reply back almost instantly!

You have emailed an inactive account.

If you are inquiring about the status of documentation you have filed with USCIS, or have a complaint relating generally to the nature of the customer service you have been provided by USCIS, please use our National Customer Service phone number 1-800-375-5283 or visit our website at www.uscis.gov.

I wonder if there's an email address I can write to to complain about their complaint email address not working.

Anyway, I'm going for another infopass on tuesday, but don't really expect the officer there to have any idea what's going on. If I manage to get a 12-month stamp I'll consider it a successful trip.

New Processing Times for NSC: July 05, 2006.

Are they serious????? headbonk.gif ranting33va.gif I hope that's a typo.


LOL! I REALLY hope that's a typo. But even if it should be July 05 2007 then that means I'm 5 months out of the window, which also isn't funny.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionNew processing times - is the USCIS lying?
Ah, yes, I know that is annoying. I see people who went through NSC after me who now have their 10yr. So the suit is really based on the fact that the USCIS aren't sticking to their own policy. It seems unlikely to be a case that would win. I think I'll just wait.

Your NOA is just a day before mine, so I'm watching your timeline with great interest.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionNew processing times - is the USCIS lying?
I see a lot of threads about starting a law suit. I'm just curious what the basis of it would be. Did the USCIS guarantee when (and if) an application would be processed? We can't really sue them for taking their sweet time. Can we?
I just feel that even if a hundred of us went up against the USCIS, we would waste years in court and have nothing to show for it other than huge legal bills.

Does anyone know what date the last application was approved out of Nebraska?
I'm a little worried about them, do you think they're OK? It makes me think of an elderly relative that you've not heard from for some time.
Maybe we should send some flowers and a get well soon card.

Imagine someone living more than two hours driving time from the USCIS office, ...



That's a good point. I only live 20 minutes from the office, so it's no great problem for me. But this kind of information should be available on the phone. Has anyone tried to navigate the phone's menu lately? I was on the phone going through the menus actually longer than it took to get in the car, drive down town and get to speak to an officer.

The actualy people at the USCIS seem nice and friendly and helpful, but the USCIS as a whole needs some rethinking.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionNew processing times - is the USCIS lying?
I just got back from the Indy office. I had an infopass appointment.

I arrived just before my app time and went to the desk to let them know I was ther. The lady took my app letter and asked what she could do to help.

I told her I was planning on travelling in may and she looked up my details and said my application should be processing right now. Nebraska is currently processing January 19th, not Feb 9th (as on the website).
She said I should get the card soon, but if I don't just book another InfoPass app and take my plane ticket with me and they will stamp my passport.

In and out in 2 minutes. It took longer to get past the security guards. My wife didn't even get a chance to read any of her book (she was prepared for the normal wait)

So if you need to travel that seems to be the way to go. Book the ticket and then book an infopass and take you ticket and passport with you for a stamp.

I filed an infopass and I'm going downtown Indy next week. (Passport ready to be stamped).
I'll be calm and friendly and see what I can find out. (Catch more bees with honey and all)

If the honey fails I'll try crying, bribery, blackmail, threatening behaviour, pleading, hitting, calling his mother a moose....

I'll let you know how I get on.
