My PD is 10/4. Where is my darn approval email? :bonk:

However, I'm happy for the recent approvals. More and more people are "graduating" from the "October 2013 I-130 Filers" group. It's getting lonely here. Wait for me! I want to move to the NVC group too! :clock:

I think I'd be alright being one of the last ones to "graduate". I mean, it gets a bit saddening to be left behind, but the longer I'm here, the more money I can save up before I move :D I still really miss my husband though...

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

We'll probably get the letter in the mail this week, but now we're out of town. So no, as of now I still don't know where we went.

you need police clearance for all the countries you have lived in for more than a year after being 16 years old. I am not 100% though, so you should ask this to NVC March 2014 filers thread. People there seem to know more abt nvc process.

Thank you, I will definitely ask March nvc filers.
