Thank you. I will do that. It gets soo frustrating waiting for the VSC to approve our cases. I hope everyone will get the green card soon.

You're not far off and remember the CSC filers, they are the ones I am rooting for or is it routing?  Yeah, us VSC at the moment are the lucky ones, wasn't that way last year.  But please don't sweat normally around 11 months to 13 months for VSC.

I have news I want to share with you guys first. Today I went to my mail box about five minutes ago and there was an approval letter dated 20 Feb from the Vermont center/centre.

Omg! congratulations, Shell!! I am really, really happy for you! Jaysus, I can only imagine how it feels to know that the waiting nightmare is over!

Enjoy it! Fingers crossed that your approval will open the gates and USCIS will flood us mortals with pretty green cards...Cheers!

Hi there, you don't have to get worried about anything. You sent what you have and I believe it is enough. I also sent tax return with my application without tax transcript. I will send tax transcript and tax return both for my naturalization application, regards. 

Thank you. Knowing this makes me feel more relieved because I thought I was the only one.

You had a lease, you had joint car insurance, you had joint credit cards. I had none of this. Honestly, I sent the cover letter to say I did not have these and I was fine, so think how much better you are.  However, its not just about evidence, most ROC interviews are about, apart from random ones have red flags, with age, living apart and such. Do you fall into this category? I doubt it.  RFE's I should imagine are requests for simple things like tax returns, not how they are sent and really minor things. Please try not too overthink, you should be fine, you have more co-habitating, joint finance than I.

Thank you for your advice. When I sent my documents to USCIS I had just filed my taxes one week before so the IRS hadn't processed our return that we could order a transcript. And I didn't want to send a transcript for one year and not the other. That's what happened so...

Let's hope we'll see a lot more approvals this week

You don't have to check your status every day. You can create an account with USCIS online so that they'll send you an email and/or a text message when there's an update on your case. But like other folks on here said, a lot of times USCIS doesn't update their systems.

Thank you!!!! We were thrilled, my husband took me out for a celebratory meal and today I have an approval hangover. I don't like to drink too much because of hangovers, however this was an exception to the rule and probably the best hangover I have ever had. Save the next one for my citizenship party when my friends come over from England to celebrate with me.

Thank you! I have never been at CSC, it stayed at Vermont for a whole year and yes it was in informed delivery although I didn't look at it before I received my mail I looked afterwards and its there as a piece of mail and not a package as it has been for others.  Just booked a table to a nice restaurant to celebrate.

Congratulations Shell. I am very happy for you.

Congratulations Shell!!! I’m a June 2017 filer with VSC, but I come here to check timelines and I really enjoy reading your comments and uplifting spirit! I hope you had a fantastic celebration also enjoy your trip to attend your Son’s wedding soon! Bless you!

Thank you!  Mortals? LOL I am hoping it will rain down pretty green cards for you all, although it seems they tend to be pink as much as green nowadays.   Good luck!  Rooting for all of you!

Thank you so much!!  Dont worry you will still be reading my comments not leaving here, not until I see all my friends on here get their approvals.  I had a wonderful celebration and yes it seems now I can go to England in May and not worry about the extension letter or stamp in my passport and such.  Hope you hear soon, being VSC you probably will hear in the near future, because remember this week we are in March and its a month nearer!

You're so welcome, did you sort out your N400, hopefully this will force them to adjudicate your ROC, however I am sure your friend is right regarding CSC. I have said this many times and I still stand by it, I think there will be a catch up, especially since Texas took over some 1129's on Feb 12th.

Congrats Shell! Very pleased for you! Thank you for sticking around and supporting the rest of us!

 

On a side note we got a Biometrics appointment letter for my wife for March 7th, and also scheduled the Infopass for the same day to get her passport stamped.

Thank you!  And that is great news when everything comes together and you don't have to make two trips. I don't drive here, so my husband has to take a day off just to take me to PIttsburgh when I need bio metrics or a stamp in my passport. Talking of which that officer who told me nearly a year ago, that I would get an interview and it would be quicker than the 13 months I had  stated to them,  was wrong.  Also, I haven't applied for N400 as of yet because the adjudication of my ROC has actually interfered with my submission date which was yesterday. I need the card to be able to do so, so again I shall be looking or not looking at USPS. I didn't look on Saturday at the USPS mail, even though they sent me one and viola my approval letter was there.
