Folks,

Finished 30 days ( 20 biz days ), still have no case number.

I mean just to get case number. This is ridiculous.


and this morning i spoke to them. Now they are saying No time frame. You will be notified when you have one.

Does that mean eternity ?

USCIS are clearing their backlog, so I expect NVC is dealing with a higher volume of paperwork than they are used to.

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".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

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.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

It takes a little while. I received a text from USCIC that case approved on 11/08/13. I called NVC literally every week after that. On 12/6/13, NVC operator told me that NVC received case, but case# not assigned yet. Finally on 12/20/13, I found out that case# assigned, but that info was obtained from calling so often. i did not get any formal notification via email from NVC until 12/31/13.

Text from USCIC case approved: 11/08/13

Called NVC found out they "received case": 12/06/13

Called NVC and finally found out case#: 12/20/14

Received "formal" case# notification (via email): 12/31/13.

Oh and by the way, USCIC sends letters and texts to cvommunicate case info status. I ONLY received correspondence from NVC via email. NOTHING IN THE MAIL EVER. And, once case is transferred to NVC, you can't check case status anymore on USCIC website. NVC telephone# 1 603-334-0700

Did you get text r update from USCIS that they shipped it to NVC and did NVC confirm that they have it with them. Then its not misplaced. They are just lazy to upload it in the system. At this point, you cant do anything but just wait.

It takes a LONG time.

I sent my AOS packet on 1/08/14 and just got an email from NVC telling me to resubmit my AOS yesterday (2/10/14).

Be careful when filling out financial info on AOS because there is a line that says to write the adjusted gross income from your taxes for the last 3 years. BUT THAT IS ONLY IF YOU FILED A 1040 EZ. If you filed anything other than a 1040 EZ, you have to write line 22 from your taxes which is the total income. Its a little tricky. I am not sure how much time that little mistake will set me back in this process :(.

It takes about 30 business days after they recieve the file, not after noa2. Do not count the recent federal holidays.

When did the NVC recieve your file?
