December 2010 - I751 Filers
- Thread starter Gladius
- Start date
trawal - Well to answer your question in 1 line - I am still waiting on the biometrics letter.
But if you remember I received 2 NOAs for 1 year GC extension. So about 10 days back I called USCIS and spoke with an immigration officer. He was an awesome person and extremely helpful. He looked into my case and explained to me how 2 notices were sent by a system error. He also told me that my ASC appointment letter is ready to be sent out. But they are waiting for slots to clear in my area field office. Then he asked if I want my ASC notice letters receipt number. Which of course I said Yes. Which is good cuz I can track the case online. So now I can see the LUDs on my case online but I don't have the ASC apt. letter. The most recent LUD was couple of days back. So I am being patient. I may make an Infopass apt. if I don't get the letter in next 7-10 business days.
Gladius, it's good to see you back for the ROC process!
I also mailed my I-751 in December and did my biometrics on 1/12. Now I wait
Hey Rosie, Good to see you back here in the forum. I was wondering where my buddies are from 2008-2009. I am going for walk-in biometric this week. Hopefully we will all get 10 year card sometime in March.
Did you guys sent passport size pictures along with the I-751 file?
Instructions mentions to include two passport size photos and completed finger print cards(form FD-258). However, I think that these two items are an exception i.e. only required for people residing overseas due to military or govt. orders - can someone please confirm.

You answered your question yourself at the end. No need to send the photographs unless you are overseas on govt work.

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone noticed the National Average for removal of condition family based has jumped from 6 months to 12.5 months.
Taxes service center is hitting an average of 30.4 months, but California and Vermont centers are still holding at 6 months average.
I filed my I-751 for removal of condition of my 2 year GC on dec 22, have done my fingerprints, I believe 16th of January.
Anyone has any idea how much more I would have to wait, any rough ideas. I'll post exact dates for documents in a bit.
Thanks

There must be a glich in the system. I would not worry about it. The only thing you should be worried about is California and Vermont. What I suspect happened was either California and/or Vermont had too many applications to process and were unable to handle the load so they where transfered to Texas. I suspect the last time that Texas processed a I-751 was for casses from 2008. Since the application is not sent to Texas, I would not worry about it.
I hear that California is fast, and Vermont takes about 4 to 6 months.

hey dhlunar,
That gives me some peace of mind, I was like nooooooo I want to travel back home soon.
Also may be you can advice me or anyone on the forum.
We had a fraud interview for the initial GC, what are the chances for that happening again. We cleared it last time easily but just thinking about it is scary, coz the interview lasted about 2 hours each for me n ma lady.
Thank you for your comments.

I guess the average wait time is 110-120 days from the receipt date. I am hoping that we (Dec I-751 filers) will see some activity towards end of March on our (CR189) cases.

The NOA you got shortly after you filed the I-751 should of extended your conditional GC for one year. That letter with your expired GC is good for work and travel. If you want to be safe, you could try to make an InfoPass appointment to your nearest field office and ask for a temp I-551 stamp in your passport. However, they might or might not do it.
Also, for anyone that is waiting on the VT Service Center don't worry. The national average for I-751 is 6 months and the last time that I checked VT was completeing them within six months. I also heard that VT is in the process of hiring more Immigration Service Officers.
