Visiting CEAC for the 1000th time now, somebody make me stop. I accidentally entered a 6 instead of 7 in our case number and someone elses case came showing ISSUED, I jumped and then cried when I realized it wasn't our case.

I'm praying for you and asking your Visa be approved and sent very soon. (F) (L) (F)

I wish there was a disease that killed only terrorists and have done with it. They have caused more damage to the innocent than they have harmed who they think (sick minds) are in the wrong and must die. Please God just one little virus just for them.

I did read about this a few days ago :Dhttp://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/ISIS-militants-reportedly-being-attacked-by-serious-skin-disease-396336

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.

I have a question, i just spoke to a rep at NVC, I was hoping she would review my Change of Agent form that way the invoice for the AOS can be activated so that i can pay the fee, she said she cant that I should check in every week,when i mentioned that i have all my AOS docs and the civil docs ready but hesitant to send it in because apparently i have to print a cover letter to include in the package, she suggested i send the docs in anyway, she said i can type out a cover page with my case number, beneficiary and applicant name on it and put that on the docs package and send it in so the days can start counting on that one, my concern with that is i've read here where people complain about missing documents they sent in already, which ended up delaying their case,I've also read about people getting conflicting info from different NVC rep as well. what do you guys think about this ?

You should have gotten a bar coded cover sheet with your welcome letter. It has a check list of items to include.

Hi and welcome to the thread. I know no matter how long the wait it's painful, it could be a day or 600 plus days like my husband and I and I know the pain is excruciating but no matter every Embassy is different and are in their own little world.

I found the following information on London Embassy,

When will my interview by scheduled?

"The interview will not be scheduled until all the required forms, including the Notification of Applicant Readiness, and medical examination have been received. Applicants should expect to receive notification of the date of the appointment approximately 6 weeks afterwards. " I hope this helps you and praying for a smooth journey from here on in. (F) (L) (F) Would be a good idea to make a couple of calls one to NVC again and ask this if your case is at the Embassy in London and if not do they have a tracking number for you since the above states you have to have the requirements about before they can give you an interview, then call the Embassy to verify. I would also post on Dewheels thread and post the same to make extra sure the information you have is correct. Link to Dewheels who by the way is an angel is, http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/543013-may-2015-interviews/ Good luck and please let us know the answer. :)

Ok, so I get my interview date (May 20/15) YAHOOO

I arrange to have my immigration medical done in BC so I could combine it with a mini vacation to see friends and family that I likely won't see again.

I give the Dr.'s assistant my paperwork and because I don't have immunization records, my GP ordered a titer test. I get told the results are missing the Rubella and Measles IGG so I it's likely that I won't be able to get my medical results the next day. WHAT???

After much back and forth with Dr. Cheema's office, my doctor's office, DynaLife labs and the Provincial Lab, I find out that someone at DynaLife crossed those tests off the requisition!!!! (I'm guessing it's because DynaLife doesn't do those tests and they have to be forwarded to the Provincial Lab). REALLY??

So now I have to call my GP's office and have them call the Provincial lab and add the tests to the requisition and then have the lab fax the results to Dr. Cheema's office.

THEN....provided the results come back showing immunity, I get to pay for the courier to get the medical results to me!

Oh great....don't you just love it when stuff falls through the cracks!!

Just when you think it's smooth sailing.....somebody had to rock the boat! :ranting:

Hello Solenta, I will continue praying for you all. If I had the power to take away the pain of what you all are going through I woull do so in a heart beat. Although I don't post much I try to keep up with the threads. I did read about where someone was making fun of what your going through. But I will say never be discouraged by people like that. It sounds to me as if some are jealous and envious of the love and support you get from so many VJ members. What they don't understand is you reap what you sow. I believe God will surely reward you for all the love you continue to show towards others in spite of your circumstances. I will keep you all in my prayers. Have a blessed day.
