Get Congressman or Senator involved. Two months to "process" DS 261--what is that anyway? Who needs to process an electronic form?

Time to get angry.

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.

It really does boggle the mind. I can't think of one other bureaucratic entity that sends people to the back of the line after they've already waited their turn.

Ah yes that could be the case. This whole saga is just ridiculous isn't it. At this rate we may not even make Thanksgiving. I am just numb from it all now.

It is completely ridiculous.

I'm the USC petitioner. My wife is British (now a USC!!!), generally awesome, and amazingly patient.

Hello everyone,

My I-130 was approved last week and I just received the NOA2 hardcopy. I got really confused after reading this statement on the approval notice:

If the person for whom you are petitioning decides to apply for an immigrant visa outside the United States based on this petition, the petitioner should file Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, to request that we send the petition to the Department of State National Visa Center (NVC).

I am the petitioner and I live overseas with my husband. So does this mean that I need to file Form I-824 in order to have my petition sent to NVC?

Thank you in advance for your enlightenment on this!

No, you need to call USCIS, speak to a supervisor and ensure your petition will be sent to NVC. That form costs many hundreds of dollars and you don't need to file it. It's a mistake on the part of USCIS who assume you're already in the US trying to adjust status.

Get Congressman or Senator involved. Two months to "process" DS 261--what is that anyway? Who needs to process an electronic form?

Time to get angry.

Yeah, when my husband wakes up I'm going to ask him to contact his congresswoman.

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 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.

Hello Does anyone know if there is a I-601A thread if there is a link someone can send me Please and thank you so much

Go to the top of the page and click on the Forums tab. Scroll down to the third section. You'll find the waivers forum there.

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!

P6Q5 is asking about CURRENT income. This isn't based on any tax information, but rather an employment letter and pay stubs. It will more than likely be a different answer than on question 13 as that's based on previous years' tax information.

Hi

I got NOA1 on 9th july and my case was sent to NVC, I am still awaiting case number and IIN (I call every day for an update - surely they'll get fed up of me soon and give me a case number just to shut me up!!!).

Is there anything that I can be doing whilst I am waiting for my case number - such a long waiting game!

Thanks :)
