October 2013 I-130 Filers

Page 2 of the I-1864 Instructions states:

How to Fill Out Form I-864

3. Answer all questions fully and accurately. If an item is not applicable or the answer is "none," leave the space blank.

I'm not sure exactly what went on with your case, but i'm curious what you mean by stating that you got an RFE for "leaving a few boxes empty"

can you please be a little more specific about what exactly USCIS asked you for? perhaps you left a box blank that is in fact required. this does not mean that you need to write N/A or none in boxes that you are not required to fill in. in fact, doing so would go against the explicit instructions of the form.

Hi,

Sorry I have not mentioned that I used I-864-EZ. It was actually for part 3. The form askes for your physical address (if other than mailing address) so I left a statement on the first box saying, "same as mailing address". Three weeks later, I get a checklist for missing information. The only info I have left blank were the city, country, state, and zip code boxes. Everything else was filled out and double checked.

I personally think they have some system that scans the documents. If it was a person who checks these documents, that person would have realized what "same as mailing address" means. I found it to be aggravating that they generated a checklist for something a human should know what it means.in my case.

Here is the response I got from the checklist.

Yes, hopefully this week is our week!

[AmberG 23]

I also hope this week will be a good one for those of us who haven't got an NOA2 yet! Really hoping! A little over 6 months since my PD and 30 days after my transfer. I feel like the clock is ticking- it is about time!!

[Jenny_USCIS 27]

Does anyone happen to know that the DS will contact the petitioner or the applicant when they receive our case from USCIS？

I'm just kinda afraid if they mail something to foreign address, the mail will get lost...

Thanks in advance for help! Good luck everyone and congrats on all approvals!

Hey all, I haven't posted here before but I have been checking in to see how the progress was going for my fellow October filers. I personally filed in the second half of the month with a PD of October 25, 2013, so my case was directly transferred to the NSC back in October. I'd been wondering like a few others in the thread how fast we could expect approval since we never went to NBC and hadn't seen any activity since the initial NOA1.

I had been keeping an eye on my inbox the past few weeks as approvals picked up, but hadn't been checking in on the online case status so often. I got a nice surprise this morning when I checked my number and had the following message waiting for me:

On April 4, 2014, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

Great way to start the week! They never sent me any kind of email, so make sure to keep checking the online case status.

Good luck for everyone this week

[KristianaL. 2]

Guys, question: When they say 60 days waiting period (from the office transfer till the response day) do they mean business or calendar days?? Im desperate....

I am going on calendar days, as it doesn't state business days specifically. Am currently at 30 days after the transfer. I so hope I hear this week. I can't imagine waiting beyond the 60 days. That would be awful.

I hope we will receive NOA2 notice this week too. But I didnt get anything this morning yet. They change the status on USCIS website in the morning right? So sad.
