Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI need some information.

Update:

I will explain my situation fully. While my 2 year green card was about to expire, within the 90 days window, I applied to have the conditions of residency removed. I recieved a one-year extension letter in Feburary 2013. I then recieved my biometric appointment letter in March 2013. Since March 2013 I have not heard anything from USCIS and the website has no new information. I am still married to my wife who is the petitioner.

I called USCIS a couple of days after posting this question. I spoke with someone who said I need to schedule an appointment to get an I-155 stamp since my one-year extension is about to expire. I then asked why my case was taking so long and he said he was going to escalate to see why my case is taking so long. He then transferred me to someone higher up, but they had me on hold so long and I had to go to work so I hung up. I am planning on calling back on my day off.

My problem and the reason I am in a hurry is because my mom had a stroke and I want to see her. My mom is in my home country, Pakistan. Even if I can travel with the I-155 stamp, I am afraid that while in Pakistan I will recieve an appoint for biometric fingerprints (since they expire every year) and/or an appointment for an interview. I do not want to spend a lot of money traveling to Pakistan and only get to see my mom for a few days or a week and then have to come back to the US. I want to stay a minimum of 3 weeks and a maximum of 4 weeks with my mom in Pakistan. I want to apply for citizenship, but I will be in the same condition I am in now. I will be waiting for an appoint for an interview. I feel like I am in the middle of nowhere and I do not know what to do. My family in Pakistan does not understand this and they think I am just making excuses not to come back to PK. I haven't seen my mom in 3 years and I miss her so much and I am so worried and stressed. I just wish USCIS would hurry up so I can see her before anything bad happens.

Thanks to all with suggestions! I appreciate it.

I never thought about applying for citizenship so thank you for recommending that. I am going to look into applying for citizenship. Thanks!

Thank you both for the advice. Good news is that my wallet and green card was found so I do not need to worry about that. I will still contact USCIS because my one year extension letter is about to expire and I want to know what is taking so long with my case.

Thanks again! smile.png

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI need some information.

I am in the process of removing the conditions on residency. I have a one-year extension letter because my green card expired. The one-year extension letter is also about to expire. What is my next step? Do I need to call USCIS? Is it normal to take a year or longer to remove the conditions on residency? Since I filled my petition almost a year ago I have not heard from USCIS except the one-year extension letter.

There is also one other problem that I am confused about. I lost my wallet which had my expired green card. Do I need to notify immigration? I still have the one year extension letter and I am not sure they can replace the one that was lost/stolen since it was already expired. I was just not sure I may need it in the future to show that I did have one.

Anyone with a similar experience or has any information I will be grateful for some advice. Thank you!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 Denied, Facing Deportation? Need help

I submitted the I-751 to remove conditions on residency in Feb. 2013. I recived notice in March saying they received my documents and I recieved another letter from them later in March for my biometrics appoitment. I went to my biometrics appointment like required. My case was with the Vermont Service Center. I waited 5 months after I submitted my case and then I started calling to check on my case stauts. I never heard from them. In January I submit an inquiry and I received a letter a few weeks later saying my case was still under review. In March 2014 I went to the Atlanta, GA office and they told me my case was denied in December. This made no sense since every time I check my status online (even today) it says it is still under review. How was it denied in December 2013 but according to the letter a month later it is still under review? They claim they sent request for more evidence in Aug. 2013, but I never received any letter from them in Aug.

Has anyone else not received a letter they claim they sent? Has anyone else been denied due to "abandonment"? It has been over 4 months going on 5 months since I was deined and I have not received any letter indicating when I need to leave the country or what steps to take. If I did not receive there letter in Aug. and Dec. I am afraid I will not get other important documents telling me what to do. Does anyone know how long I have before I am deported and what steps I should take to refile? I have called the USCIS many times and they are never helpful. They even told me my case was under review after the time it was denied in December. They have no records now of me ever calling and I cannot get my phone records to prove to them I did call them many times.

Has anyone else faced a similar situation? Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
