Yeah, if you read through my posts last month, you'll see that I had luck with one of my Senator's reps last month, and I am almost positive that's why I got the IV invoice so quickly.

That is soooo true Samreen!! I mean, take for example a simple tourist visa. The entire burden of proof on the applicant in order for a tourist visa to be issued is that they will return to their home country and not remain illegally in the US. Having a spousal visa in process is the BIGGEST DISINCENTIVE EVER to overstay your tourist visa, because if you don't return to your home country for interview, etc then you would be actively choosing to stay illegally in the US forever instead of becoming a legal resident.

You may wanted to call NVC and ask for supervisor to review. In my case, the operator said that she will give it to a supervisor to review.

I did. Twice.

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

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.

Are u sure she doesn't? How is it possible to submit ds261 the same day they got the IV invoice?

Oh and sorry, I should clarify, for those of you who obsessively study timelines and count business days, like me :) I don't have a lawyer, got help from a Senator's aide who demanded a supervisor review. Definitely lucky, and it is horrible that so many people have waited so long for a IV invoice.

Also, I am more than willing to share the email I sent to my Senator's office with anyone who is interested. I don't know for sure that it made a difference, but still happy to share if it would be useful to anyone.

Exactly! They say they don't issue us tourist visa becasue we showed immigrant intent. But showing immigrant intent is the exact reason why we wouldn't want to screw up the chance of not wanting an illegal life where we want to spend the rest of our life. I wish they had brains and heart and some of those ppl who made these rules would actually have gone thru this process only then they would have thought like us!

I'll be honest with you, I think they do it on purpose they want to make us give up and both go our own ways. I have seen this happen so many times on VJ. Couples divorce because this is just to much for them. WELL IMMIGRATION DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH! :Psmileys-sticking-tongue-out-628956.gif

Aww! Gosh I really hope that interview comes quickly, I should consider making that coffee delivery to NVC. WAKE UP GUYS!!

We're so thrilled to finally be together. His arrival combined with starting an amazing new job a couple of months ago (my last was a real soul sucker) has made life very nearly perfect. It's just not easy for him settling in here, so there are good days and bad. When he has a job and has met some people in the area I think he'll feel a lot better, but the past month without those things have been hard on him. It all takes time and he's doing great as far as I'm concerned! Every day is a step forward :)

Which state is ur senator involved in?

Well, I live in DC, so no real Federal-level reps. But, I am from Wisconsin, and my family still lives there so I wrote to both of my Senators (Baldwin and Johnson) they both contacted NVC on my behalf, but it was Johnson's office that demanded the supervisor review which I think resulted in approval of my DS-261, and therefore the speedy issuance of my IV invoice.
