Gurus - I filed my I-131 10 days and fedexed to the NE processing center. I have confirmation that they have received it.

However, the check has not cleared in my checking account and no receipt notice yet. What can I do? I am in a bit of rush and would like to do the biometrics before I leave.

My expereince so far has been that the receipt notices are mailed soon after the receipt of applications but not this time.

Does it make any sense to try to refile again?

Thank you all!
 
HI ,

I am in the exact same position...mailed my I-131 application on the 2nd of oct and they received it on the 3rd at the nebraska center. Still no receipt notice!! I really had to leave ASAP for family reasons..I expedited the process too...I am starting to freak out and think that something might be wrong with my application...Any way of knowing?? I would appreciate any input! Thanks.
 
If it is wrong they will just return it. But I have not received anything back so that is really annoying. Hopefully after the holiday we will get a response.

Hang in there!
 
Dont worry about it.My check was cashed 27 days ago but have not received anything yet.
You're okay.

Hi Richab
I am sorry to say that nothing yet, I have my receipt number which was printed on the personal check I have submited with application.So I called USCIS and IO told me with attitude that GIVE IT SOME TIME.He could see the case and had no exciting info or answer for me.
Where are you in the process?Could you give me your timeline about you application?
Thanks

HI mh,

I am confused about the receipt number...isnt this something you receive from the USCIS after they get your application? how do you have it on your check? what am I missing?

Which center did you submit your i_131? Is it for a re-entry permit?

I mailed my application to the Nebraska center on the 2nd and they received it on the 3rd...thats all i know so far..

Keep me posted...Thanks

I sent it to nebrtaska.I paid the fees with personal check.Before cashing the check USCIS indorse the check for deposit and will print your case number(In this case starts with LIN********) in back of the check.
So check has been cashed and sent back to me by bank and the LIN number is written on the back. When I called and provide the receipt number IO could pull the info based on that number but even if you dont have it IO can find out with your A# and other general info.

I have applied for my re-entry permit on Sept 24th ... And my cheques has
NOT been cashed yet ...
 
Hi guys,

This is so disappointing...I thought we could get done in 15-20 days with the fingerprinting and leave the country...Even after expediting, this is a pretty dismal scenario:((

Anybody have a positive experience in this situation? particularly with the nebraska center? please post...it might cheer some of us up.

Gcnyc, did you hear anything yet?

Sorry to say that even if we apply in expedited manner, it does not mean that it will be guaranteed and USCIS can deny it if it does not meet their criteria.hopefully yours will be accepted

USCIS Expedite Criteria
All expedite requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and are granted at the discretion of the Director. The criteria are as follows:
Severe financial loss to company or individual
Extreme emergent situation
Humanitarian situation
Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States
Department of Defense of National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)
USCIS error
Compelling interest of USCIS

Gurus,
Any idea how to approach INS .. as I need to leave the country as soon as possible ..
As of today my cheques are NOT yet cashed ..
 
HI all,

we had a family emergency and had to leave the country by any means before the month end...So I called the 800 no. and the lady advised me to schedule an infopass appt with the local homeland security office. I went over there today and the immigration officer was so sweet...she not only confirmed that my receipt was generated but also gave me a bio appt then and there. I went straight to the bio center and got my fingerprinting done..I am all set!

I had a terrific experience and am so thankful to the USCIS for their consideration.

Good luck to you..I hope this helps.
 
What is going on guys, we all fighting to get permanent residence to live permanently in US or live permanently overseas. When I read this sub forum I think everyone with GC just want to leave. We should call it Life after GC overseas.
 
Hi doddas,

yes you can..I didnt know my receipt no. until I met the immigration officer.
good luck
 
Same here. Still waiting for Receipt number. Filed 3 weeks ago.

I will give it another week and try the Infopass appointment. Worst case I can return for fingerprinting but that is a major hassle and expense. Airfare very expensive these days.
