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.

Just noticed in your signature, your anniversary seems near. Happy anniversary in advance :)

Our POE will be in Minneapolis, that airport is almost never crowded. And now that I've just jinxed myself it will take all day!

VJers might want to consider arrival time as a POE selection factor. The flight I always take lands at Dulles at 6:30 am. First and only inbound international flight at that time. We're usually out of the customs hall before the last baggage comes out on the moving belt.

21-MAR-2014 I-140 + PP sent to USCIS

31-MAR-2014 Petition approved

16-APR-2014 Case shipped to NVC

29-APR-2014 Case received by NVC

10-JUN-2014 IV Docs received by NVC

13-JUN-2014 IV Docs matched to case (scanned)

30-JUL-2014 Case Complete, CC email auto-sent one week later

20-AUG-2014 AOS fee changed to N/A (Final clearance for interview scheduling?)

29-AUG-2014 Consular Interview scheduled on Oct 1st. Later rescheduled to Sep 24th. P4 Letter received following business day

14-SEP-2014 CEAC status changed to Ready

Good tip. I also read somewhere that usually 8AM is the shift change time. Around that time may be you will get someone at beginning of shift and less cranky.

called NVC to check for updates.. finally someone told me my case is under review.. last friday called, the operator asked me to wait 60 business days...but today the operator told me the last package rec'd was july 3rd and should get any response within 30 business days.. so I asked about that 60 business days thing, he said he's never heard of 60 days, at least he didn't think it would take 60 business days. most people take about 25-30 business days... hope he was right.. :devil:

Yes, it's on Thursday. Thank you :D

I just got off a call with NVC. It's been 40 business days now since they received our DS-261. I spoke with a Hispanic agent who initially put me on hold with a supervisor, but brought me back off hold because the supervisor wouldn't talk to me! Apparently we need to wait longer because they're behind! Why are other people getting invoiced when they submitted the DS-261 mid-June? We submitted it on May 30th! The agent said she'd put it forward for another supervisor review, but it's not like the first one got us anywhere, so...

I can confirm though that our AOS was accepted and we didn't write N/A in any blank spaces :D and for the "address if different" field, we repeated my husband's address.

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

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.

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

Ok so I needed to fix the AOS packet. I am filing out my cosponsors(mom) I864 and I am hoping for some help.

On part 6: Where is ask for my moms income does it want her income off of her W2 and for people in her household(my dad) do we put his income from his W2. Because when placing what they each made and after when adding it and putting it in line 10, it was a different number than i put on 13a. under total income. Can someone please help me with this I am giving myself a major headache trying to figure this out! :bonk:

THANK YOU!

my lawyer made the same mistake but I caught it and sent in a corrected AOS immediately. I saved myself a month. Lawyers suck. I was so mad. After that I did everything myself.

Our lawyer made EXACTLY the same mistake. Clearly a waste of $5,000!!! But we all suffer more while we wait another 30 business days to review the checklist.
