The only question I have is concerning fingerprints. According to the instructions on I-751 I need to submit a 2 FD-258 fingerprint forms with my application. But according to the uscis website I do NOT need to send it in. I get vague answers on the instructions and from their operators when I call uscis.

Has anyone applied recently and know what I need to do? Do I or do I not need to file FD-258 along with my I-751?

Thank you!!!

I submitted the i-751 form on jan2011
march3 did fingerprint
august 18 letter from uscis in laguna niegule the background check clear
i should excpect schedule for interview with the local field office on sf
9/9 i called national center to verify about the delay they sent me email because the hight volume of this type cases but if i didnt recieve notice within 60 days to call back
9/19/2011 i call again national service center the officer i spoke with told me he aware that my case out normal process time but this case could take from 6-12 month to call back if didnt get any decision within 15 days

october 17 i recieve letter from sf uscis office they claim they sent me notive to appear on oct3 i fail to do so i called the national customes service explain i didnt recive any letter from them not regular mail/certified or by email & i been recieved all letters from them for last year & i live in my current address for lats 4 years never moved/change place
they told me to do appointment with infopass i dont know if they would help
i have experince with them before & didnt worth time i dont know what to do my husband went to check with th us post office they said if not certified mail they cant track the mail
i’m sure uscis didnt send any letter pretty amazing from all letters i recieved the single important one not delievered
the officer who sent me this letter didnt attach copy of that interview notice he claim sent to me i dont know what to do my husband said we how come they doing this to us its unprofessional work
maybe the officer just ddnt like me since i’m with middle eastern look my husband blond& blue eyes
i been very pro active the whole time trying to follow with the case i entered the country legall & married my husband here they cancelled my 10y visa soon they issue my 2y GC now my status good untill jan6 2012
my husband said we will go to the info pass appointment see what they have to say they did mistake maybe they dropped or postman dropped the mail i dont know but we didnt recive any letter
this never happened with us before we are very frustrated this case cost us 2thousands$ they want us to start all over just not fair & morally not right

I just wanted to give an update for everyone that’s still waiting.
After exactly 9 months since filing I-751 I received my approval letter!

Here is my timeline:

02/15/11 – I-751 mailed to Vermont
02/17/11 – I-751 Receipt Notice with 1year extension; Check was cashed around the same time
03/04/11 – ASC Appointment Notice (Biometrics Letter)
03/31/11 – Biometrics Process done
10/13/11 – GC (10yrs) approved and should receive the card within the next 60 days!

We were not called to an interview. Everything went smoothly but took quite a while.

Good luck to you!
Alina
