I'm actually on the desktop version. I'm going to have to look for where to add my signature.

I have a quick question. I still have not gotten access to the CEAC. When I initially called and got my case number they told me they currently have an email on file (the one we used at USCIS) we never gave then any info for choice of agent. Do you think I should call and give them the email addresses anyway?

Go to your settings, then the 'signature' tab on the left hand side. There's where you fill it in :)

And yes, if they don't have both of your email addresses, call back up and give over the missing ones. Receiving email correspondence from NVC is much better than snail mail.

Still no IV invoice. I sent an email to NVC's inquiry address yesterday just to feel like I was doing something.... I really don't want to wait 45 minutes on the phone to be told "30 days, b*tch" and hung up on.

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.

How long it takes to get the interview date ,,??

Join us here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/503593-august-2014-interviews/

Read the first page and submit your CC date for the spreadsheet! :) Also, they haven't assigned interview dates for CCs since June 23rd ... so it looks like they're delaying us there too.

I was surprised this time when I called NVC. I got thru in the 4th try (around 2.15 pm CT) and was on hold for only 16 minutes. To me that was very unusual as I have waited as much as 70 minutes at times.

Does this mean NVC is getting better? Although I do want to mention that she asked me to wait "30 business days"
