Finally we got out notice to pay! Thank you to everyone who helped! I called yesterday and this afternoon got the emails. I did get a check list :(

I will have to redo some papers I sent, but I have another question. I got a check list to complete the DS261 again. However, online it shows it completed. Should I go and resubmit (Before was a no no) or is it a false check list?

Thank you everyone!

Aaaand just went through the entire response sheet for my request form and sent PMs to those with errors :devil: To those that I can actually get to their profile, since there's some who have errors and others who didn't even provide a valid link :bonk: For those people, if it's been over a month since their submission, I just removed them as it's pointless keeping their line on there :P

Thank you everyone!

DO NOT TOUCH YOUR DS-261. What you received is a false checklist based on them reviewing your AOS package.

I checked off both (we submitted all three years).

Although it's not required at NVC, the embassy/consulate may want to see all three years, so it's better to just send it now beforehand.

If you're going to be qualifying on assets, don't forget, it has to be 3 times the poverty line as assets are only worth 1/3. And be warned, you'll likely get a checklist from NVC saying something in the regards of you not qualifying as a sponsor and the embassy/consulate will ultimately decide if you qualify. You don't need to send anything to NVC in response to the checklist, it's more just a warning from them.

Thank you so much for your quick response! I will include all 3 years :thumbs: We are all set with the assets thanks for the reminder and yes i did hear that same thing about the checklist from an NVC rep. "if" thats the only item on my checklist, will we then be put in line for an interview?

Everything is all set to be sent tomorrow...The only thing i am unsure about is the N/A or to leave blanks on the questions i didn't not need to respond to "checklist situation". What is the current consensus?

We filled out the I-864 and I did fill out all of the address lines as it was needed anyways. Is this still just an issue on the EZ form? As of now I left blanks. :rolleyes: Confusing!!! Any advice is super appreciated!!

Yes, if that's the only thing on the "checklist", then simply consider it as a false one, in a way. And you'll only be put in line for an interview date when both tracks are accepted ;)

So far, it seems like the only question where you'll get a checklist for leaving something blank is on the I-864EZ for the question on place of residence. Besides that, I don't think I've seen a checklist for any other question.

I called NVC today at 5:20am PST & was on hold for about 25mins....I spoke with "Jennie" and she was nice. She gave me my case# & IIN#. she also told me they'd be sending AOS & IV fees via email to my lawyer and we got the email today from NVC!! I went into the portal & I can actually pay for it....but I'm wondering if I should wait since my husband will go pick up one of his bchks next week and then we have to wait for him to obtain lebanon police check...which can take months to receive. My question is...is it ok for me to pay the AOS & IV fee now and send the package in about 2 weeks? Also, if we dont include the police check from Lebanon will we get a checklist for that? What should we do? Your feedback is appreciated. ?

Just got a (hopefully) false checklist for our DS-261, so our AOS must be ok, which is something. I'm on hold now to demand the IV invoice again.

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.
