Hi John, read your advice. What if in our case, we just filed our taxes, and it is time for me to file my ROC( within 90 days) , do I have to wait for IRS tax transcript before sending our ROC package? I have the copy of turbo tax though plus the tracking that they received it but still not seen online. Thanks.

You can go to the IRS website to require transcripts and they'll send them in less than a week.

We filed for ROC in February 2016.  At that point I had already filed my taxes for 2015 and even received our tax refund.  I had the IRS tax transcripts for 2014 and 2013 which is what I sent with the ROC package.  I did not even try and or wait for the IRS tax transcript for 2015 and did not have any RFEs or any issues with approval.  We were approved almost one year to the day after submission.  Hope Vermont is catching up with the piles of work and your approval will not take that long. 

 

God bless

Thanks again John. I know, I read the slow processing in Vermont which is sad to say, where I'll file. I'm preparing for it. I filed my AOS in MSC before since we lived in Arizona and it's fast. ?

Thank you for sharing this.  We sent our packet in January 25th and hadn't even filed taxes yet so I was kinda nervous.  We have a long way to go but I feel better now that we probably won't get a RFE for it.

PLUS 

CERTIFICATE OF MARRIAGE

SPOUSE CITIZENSHIP ID,...

 

Neither of which are necessary for ROC :) Spouse is not a citizen of the US and no proof of foreign citizenship needed. Marriage certificate also not needed at this stage.

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.

Well, one of the spouses IS a US citizen :)

I know those are not requested, but since I am removing conditions based on marriage, I thought it didn't hurt to include them.
