Thank you both I will be sure to let them know if they ask again. the asked me if i could still work once the card expired and it had me a little worried,s o thats made me feel a bit better thanks!

Q: we tried to send my package off with UPS with recorded delivery, and UPs said "we dont delivery to PO BOX's

anyone else had this issue?

S Folinsky

Other people have made the same error.

FWIW -- the street address is 24000 Avila Road, 2nd Floor, Laguna Niquel CA 92677.

Also, the PO Box system is used to have the USPS sort by application. Also, USPS does have "Express Mail" which might save you a day or two in the huge "mail room" at California Service Center.

Everyone has this issue. Only the USPS can deliver to Post Office boxes.

Most forms provide two mailing addresses, one for USPS delivery and one for courier delivery. Don't know why I-751 does not, but at least for the VSC the street address is included so one can simply drop the PO Box line from the address if they wish to use a courier service. For the CSC one might have to do a little hunting, or use the USPS (it needs the business!)

I wish we could have sent ours to California. It seems so much faster than Vermont!

PepsiChic

how long does it take after its sent for them to process the check payment?

S Folinsky

Once you get confirmation of receipt, check with your bank as to when the check clears. You will then be able to compute the processing time with a high degree of precision.

PepsiChic

thankyou Mr. Folinsky, so as the package was sent yesterday and will arrive tomorrow or thursday I wont need to look into the bank till i at least get that reciept

The check might clear before you receive the receipt in the mail.

So it was sent off on september 26th, they recieved it on the 28th september, and cashed the check on the 29th.

I recieved the 1 year extension letter on the 4th of october.

So pretty fast for the first part, now just waiting for the biometrics.

I'm dreading sending mine to Vermont!!

Does anyone know whether it's possible to travel between your card expiring and getting the new one? And if so, how?

(sorry for butting in PepsiChic!)

Noorah101

Yes, it's possible. After you send in the I-751, you'll receive a 1-year extension letter from USCIS. You can travel abroad using your expired green card, unexpired passport, and the 1-year extension letter.

PepsiChic, it's great to see you back. Congrats on the little ones, both human and fuzzy. We're about ready to start our I-751 as well. My how time flies!

Question to those who have gone through this process:
When copying bank statements and such, is just the first page with the names sufficient, or do they really need to have all 5 pages of tut for each statement?

(this is starting to feel like what we went through for our mortgage re-fi!)

Thanks much!

We just sent in the first page. About 4 per year since we were married.
