Just sent I-130 ICO Chinese Stepdaughter

[SailorBoy1297 0]

Hello Everyone,

Awhile back I started a topic but now I can't locate it to attach this bit of news and continue with that thread. Anyway, we are officially back in the game now as I mailed the I-130 just yesterday (Express Mail...of course!) and feel I should start this topic to bring you up to date. I do have one question...I would like to create a timeline for my stepdaughter but I don't want to edit the timeline for my wife. Any suggestions? Wishing everyone the very best of luck with their processes. Thank you in advance for what I know from previous experience will be a flurry of back and forths between all of us.

You could always edit the signature area in yer profile, add it in there ? see http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=members&area=signature for yer sig area.

But - it looks like you tried to attach more than 1 official VJ timeline to yer profile, when I click on yer timeline- it gives me this -->

Captain we have a problem. Some how there were multiple entries found, Please contact an admin to resolve this. and the only way to get that fixed, is to contact The Site Owner, Capn Ewok, and ask/beg for it to get fixed.

Side note /question - did you include the G-1145 in the I-130 submittal ?

Also, after I-130 approval - wei ! Can use NVC Electronic Processing, @ NVC - see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Electronic_Processing

What G-1145??? Never saw anything remotely resembling that requirement. Whoa...off and already behind the power curve. Yeah, gotta hit up Capn Ewok...he's probably already thinking..."Oh no, it's him again". I was trying to get a timeline started and in edit mode at the bottom it asked if I wanted to associate another member to my profile. Thought this might be a good way to link both up. Nope...apparently that is not what it was intended to be.

Ah...just checked out the G-1145. Doesn't look like a show stopper but would have been nice to do. Such is life!

[Darnell 8,479]

oh - it's not a show stopper, but a 'nice convenience' , always... (G-1145 )

Tried revising my signature and it looks like I already exceed the allowable limits. Can't change it unless I change my signature. I want to keep that for now. Thanks for the suggestion. I asked the Wookie for help (along with fixing my screw-up).

Hey Darnell...well the I-130 reached Chicago but I may have made my first blunder. Sent it to Chicago Lockbox for CA alright but they tried to deliver yesterday and, of course, no one at work. The Post Office apparently doesn't deliver a second or third time like FEDEX so they left a note for the Chicago Lockbox to contact them and schedule a delivery. Get this, the Chicago Lockbox has to make arrangements for delivery within five (5) days or it will be returned to me. Doubt seriously if the Chicago Lockbox even does that sort of thing but, then again, maybe they'll surprise me. Actually, if they (USPS) do return it to me, it's not all that bad since I can add the G-1145 plus, in my rush to get it on its way, I forgot to make a copy. I gotta get my head screwed on right! Also, I noted a physical address (not a PO Box) for Express and Courier deliveries to use (Hmmmm, I feel like an idiot) so I guess I should use that one, right? It's located under another paragraph that doesn't apply to me so I overlooked it. Now the big question....do I tell my wife she's married to an idiot???

Oh, it gets worse...now I'm hoping the Post Office will return my I-130. Seems I indicated the wrong visa being applied for on the GS-325A. I indicated CR1/IR1 instead of IR2. Wow...off to a shaky start and all my fault!

Express Mail to the lockbox ? Ya, sorry, that's normal -

as express mail usually has some 'signature confirmation'

and

the PO Box address doesn't do 'signature sheets' same day.

Don't worry, this bit is a common blunder -

the USPS mail carrier and the USCIS mailroom clerk will 'sync up'

in a coupla days - it'll all be 'accepted' - I'm betting by Wednesday.

re: the mis-type on the G-325A - hard to say, hard to know - I'm betting something will 'kick in', not be any RFE.

Hard to swing an IR-1 at that age.

But - if the entire case is denied, hey - it'll come back within a month (or 6 weeks) - don't sweat it.

Well I'm hoping for a number of reasons the whole package gets returned to me so I can correct my obvious blunders and submit a good package. I should have used a bit more common sense when express mailing to a PO Box. Oh well...this too shall pass I guess. But will require getting my stepdaughter to re-sign a new G325A. Hate to think of losing all this time but when it's my own fault, well just gotta take the hits. Thanks for getting back to me. Best to you!

I left you a message but just in case you see this first...they did deliver to the PO Box. Was delivered on Wed, 10/11 at (get this) 10:22pm!!! :o I had expressed mail the corrected G325 to my stepdaughter a couple of days ago. Looks like that was for not as I came across a post of someone else who made the same mistake and the responses all indicated it was no big deal. So now we're back on track and awaiting the NOA1 perhaps sometime next week. Just wish the CA Service Center had a better turnaround than 5 mos. Oh well, been there, done that! Take care Darnell and thanks for the support.
