You should go to my doctor in Canada! :idea: I didn't even have to take my shirt off! :thumbs:

Wait... :dead: Maybe it's because my doctor didn't want to see me half naked! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

It means you're flying to the US next Tuesday? :star:

LOL! I'm still in Canada now. :rofl:

OMG! They're going to get confused when I cross the border again in 3 hours! :lol::lol::lol:

They might go like, "Wait! You became a permanent resident yesterday!? But... You went back to Canada!?" :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I'm still in Canada! I'm finally moving to the US in 3 hours! :dance:

I'm not renting a car this time (since I'll need to go back to Canada to return it). :lol:

I'm taking a "fabulous" Amtrack from Vancouver to Seattle! :whistle:

Haha well hopefully the same goes for me ... Fingers crossed :) .

How does life feel after nvc and all the nonsense

Paid the immigrant fee. Now to figure out when to do the POE. Meh, stressing out now.

Good luck. Just did my POE in Minneapolis. On my way to Savannah. It was really easy and quick. I even got a Welcome to America from the two COs.

Awesome! Where will you do your POE?

I'll be going through Newark. I'm quite familiar with that airport so I'll feel more relaxed.

I decided to tell my husband because sometimes the wifi at CLE doesn't work too well and I didn't want to be stuck there :P but none of his family know and we're going to surprise them on Thanksgiving.

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.

Also for some reason on the data sheet stapled to my massive envelope, they didn't put my husband's apartment number in the address. Very helpful. So I wrote it on. I figured if they didn't want me tampering with it they would have put it in the envelope :)

My husband arrived yesterday night. i still can't believe he is here. wow am very happy. he told me that he spent only 10 minutes at the point of entry, he showed them the envelope and he was processed immediately and was told to expect the SSN in the mail and the 10 years between 30 - 45 days.. But we will go to the SSN office next week to apply for one. But nevertheless i want to enjoy my time with my husband. My mom loves him so much and couldn't let go after we pick him up at the airport. We are now on our way to watch a football game.... I'm very happy

I forgot to write this, anyone who has a changed of address should make sure he or she asked the officer at the POE to check their address on the database to be sure its the correct one. My husband asked this and the stupid USCIS hasnt changed it despite the fact that i changed the address using the AR-1 on their website. But luckily for him the officer changed it at the point of entry and fingerprinted him . then he was taken inside by this same officer into the secondary office where he just entered and signed and his passport was stamped. that is all.

Dwheels,

I am cc on nov12. Waiting for interview for philippines. I am monitoring your google doc re interview. I have 1 request though, if it is possible. I noticed when i am sorting consulate, there are several spelling versions for philippines and another 1 is like manila, philippines thus making it difficult to sort. Can you please correct it as "philippines"? If it is not then i just have to bear with it.

Thank you for maintaining this thread!

I've noticed that too for "Mexico" and several other incorrect spellings.

RobbieG,

Dallas, TX

You should mention it at POE and have them verify your green card delivery address.

The data sheet stapled to my wife's enveloppe has her place of birth misspelled... It's as if they do it on purpose.

It seems the UK courier does deliveries on Saturdays. I just received my visa and booked my flight for Monday, but I won't be telling my husband until I land in the connecting airport and get to a payphone :D it's a surprise since he though I couldn't make it until next Saturday.

Did the embassy send you an email or text before your visa was delivered? My visa is already issued as of 21 nov, according to CEAC. I chose to pick it up downtown Madrid cause couriers also delivers on Saturdays. Yesterday I didn't want to pass by and ask at the courier office cause I didn't have any notice from the embassy and I didn't want to waste my time...
