Should I move to New Hampshire? :idea:

That will be the greatest gift in life because am so sure everything will be so efficient, packages will be reviewed in less than 2weeks and everyone will go thru the NVC stage in just ONE MONTH.

Please write n/a, I left it blank and got a checklist...in which, they asked me to put n/a there.

Writing the address again is also fine, we did this and it was accepted.

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.

Ok - looks like i'm going to be re-submitting my AOS package again. People are pretty convinced that we'll get a checklist for leaving part 3 #9 on I-864EZ blank.

Should I put 'N/A' for every line or just re-write the mailing address again?

Also found another mistake! Mistake #4! Put down the adjusted gross income instead of total income even though we filed a 1040. I am such a doofus. But thanks for all the help!

I did Mistake #4 also and am in the process of resending the AOS. I am palnning to write N/A on every part of address in part 3 #9 on I-864EZ .

Yeah I know Saylin, you are a super-hero queen and I have faith in you. How I wish we have someone like you at NVC. Everyone will be reuniting quickly with their spouses.

Wonder how one would even apply at NVC to be a reviewing officer...

I know sometimes we are frustrating as this process is frustrating, but I would really suggest that we all try to stay clear of the profanity on this page which is in other words showing that we are not there only for each other but respect each other. That is why when ever I need CORRECT information, I ask to go straight to a supervisor (Except for the one name Michael). This morning I called, some little brat name Sarah told me all confidently grinning your IV Package IS BEING REVIEWED, I asked her what does that mean? She asked me what do you think it means? Keep in mind my AOS was sent on July 25 and IV was sent Aug 11, they have not even touch AOS yet. I also asked her about the Police Certificate for Haiti and she said, they are going to review your package. I said in my head "stupid" do they need the certificate or nor from me because I did not send it. She still did not respond my question - so I asked for a supervisor - Guess who I spoke with, the wonderful Betsy! And she said - no you don't need it and also no your package is not being reviewed - it is waiting its turn in line.

I've been here for a while now and I don't remember you at all but we are all stressed out and everyone deals with it in their own way. Profanity really if we posted profane things we would be banned so not sure what your talking about. The bottom line is instead of complaining about posts and if your so sensitive then put us on ignore. I've done the same with a couple of nasty people that just cause problems and guess what? It works and now I'm not so stressed out. Not trying to be nasty just find your post a bit rude to even state this when you have rarely posted thus been supportive of any of us.

Hi All,

Just an FYI in case anyone is interested in working on this with me, I filed an FOIA request with State for NVC records, inspired by waiting_______'s request for similar records from USCIS. Here is the text of the request:

I am requesting any and all records relating to the current massive delay in processing US citizen immediate family immigrant visas at the National Visa Center. Types of records may include emails, internal memoranda, communication with other government agencies including USCIS, communication from Congressional Representatives' staff, inquiries from House and Senate oversight committees, and letters from US citizen petitioners. Records may go as far back as September 2012 when DACA petitions began at USCIS: what communication happened between USCIS and NVC? Did USCIS warn NVC about the massive increase and backlog in processing of petitions? Records around May-August of 2014 are of particular interest: as USCIS was clearing up its backlog of DACA-delayed I-130 and I-129 petitions, did they warn NVC? What did NVC do to prepare for the additional burden of petitions? What did NVC do to plan ahead for the rush of petitions coming from USCIS? What did NVC management decide to do and to whom did they decide to communicate or not their decisions? What did they decide to communicate or not to Congress and US citizens who made inquiries into the delays? What if any were management's reactions to the New York Times article in February 2014 regarding the delays? Did anyone at NVC see the trainwreck coming?

I also have the information I need to do a follow up request to USCIS around their plans and capacity to handle DACA renewals, which should be starting to flow to USCIS now.

Jon

I'm in where do I send it, hard copy or e-mail if so what is the address of the corresponding form to be sent please. :D I love how you worded it, hehehe do I have to change it and make it my own? smileys-calling-819321.gif
