I-751 approved
 
My I-751 is approved (from VSC) and the letter asks to me visit the local INS office along with three passport size photos to apply for the new green card.

But I already sent photos along with I-751 application and I was under the impression that we longer need to apply for new green card in the local INS office, instead they will directly send the green card it I-751 is approved. Is that NOT right or is it different for different Service Centers?

Any one recently got the approval from VSC?

Thanks!

When did you send in your I-751 paperwork?

Depends on the service center and IF you recieved an RFE to return the original green card. If you did not, then you have to make the Infopass appointment to complete the I-89 and to return the old green card. IMO, that is the reason for the office visit, to return the card.

Hi! I also sent my photos with my I-751 application (CSC). My application was approved and went for my infopass appointment yesterday. Yes, they asked me to bring 3 photos again. It went pretty smooth, they will be mailing my greencard soon. He also stamped I-551 on my passport.

Don't forget to bring your passport, infopass appointment letter, approval letter, and photos.

Sent my application March 2006 and it was approved last week. I'm so happy :)

Did they take your expired green card or can you keep it?

I had the same experience, I did send three photos with the package. However the VSC approval did say to go my local office(boston) and submit the three photos there. I did that about a week ago, now I am waiting for my new 10 year GC.

I just posted my full timeline...

I went to provide 3 photos about 2 weeks ago... I guess for me... I was just lucky not to get an RFE since I forgot to put the 3 photos in the I-751 package.

Good Luck to all...

I believe they collect photos with the application package for the
actual application file, not for the green card.
