Maybe everyone's taking some time to read the wiki, official instructions, and updating their signatures/timelines :idea:

...

Probably not though :rofl:

We'll just have to liven up this thread then until Monday returns :D

Well if it makes you feel better I actually am doing those things! My husband is visiting this week and we filled out the i864ez together because he finally got his 2013 tax return :) I'm the form filler-outer in this relationship. I fill them out long before we need 'em!

Since I've replied to you, I have a question that you might know about. For the ds260 for current/prior work information how much did you need to put in? I know the old ds230 required the past 10 years with month/year, but looking at the examples that the NVC has it's not really clear. I'm not near this stage yet but I don't know the exact dates for my previous employments! :s

Does anybody know of anyone who did NOT get their visa because of this?

Nope nothing yet. Infact the day it was published I remember bdrew telling about three embassies which included Pakistan, Taiwan and Australia and whose visas were issued without problem. And on the Nvc thread we are seeing cc also at the normal (turtle) pace :P so hopefully it wouldn't be an issue!

Samreen, you got it part right. I said Australia reported no issue BUT there was an issue in Taiwan and a delay in Pakistan.

Dominican Republic closed their Embassy on Monday because of it (they said it was an A/C issue). A couple people in Jamaica received e-mails that visa processing is delayed.

The CEAC site was definitely running slower last week.

Dear NVC,

pic1735297.jpg

Love from Ketsuban xxxxx

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.

Yay! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs: I was the form-filler-outer too ;)

Unless they've changed things, they ask for the last 10 years employment. But, I filled it out back in 2011, soooo :whistle:

I am sorry, it was too hard too resist :idea:
