I believe bottom line here is that, the more evidences you have the better because no one would like to received RFE letter instead of approval letter right? So sending a lot of evidences would be better so do not limit yourself in sending evidences because our main goal is not to receive RFE.

Absolutely!   I submitted everything with joint names on that I could get my hands on, even if it's useless and gets tossed, I gave it my best shot to avoid an RFE!

I'm from the UK, hubby is from Michigan and is a retired US Army LTC.   We are currently stationed overseas.

I see your point, but I just don't see how 18x3 statements with both our names would provide more information than 8x3 joint statements - especially if we have diverse documents such as joint leases, joint deed to a house we bought, perhaps a child together, utility bills in both our names, etc.

 

I guess logic gets thrown out the window when dealing with USCIS. I keep hoping there's someone who successfully went through ROC, without RFEs, who didn't send USCIS a 10lbs baby.

Yep

CR1 / DCF (London): 2012 / 2013 (4 months from I-130 petition to visa in hand)

I-751 #1- April 2015 [Denied]

 

April 2015 : I-751 Joint filing package sent fedex next day 09:00am from UK ($lots - thanks). 
Jan 2017: Notification that an interview has been scheduled at a local office. Bizarrely still no RFE... 
Jan 2017: 2hr wait, then interview terminated before it began, due to moving my ID to another state 2 wks prior. New interview 'in a few months...maybe.'   Informed them that divorce proceedings are underway, but not finalised at this time. 
March 2017: An Interview was scheduled - marked as no-show as they didn't actually send out a notification of interview. FML 
April  2017: Filed an official complaint with the ombudsman, and have requested Senator & Congressman assistance
August 2017: Interview - switched to a (finalised) divorce waiver. Told that decision will be made that afternoon, but no problems foreseen with my case. 
October 2017: Letter of Denial received - reason given as 'I-751 petition was not properly filed'. Discovered ex-spouse made false allegations to USCIS in 2015. No opportunity given to review & refute allegations  - contrary to USCIS policy.

I-751 #2 - Oct 2017 - Mar 2021[Denied] 

 

October 2017: Within 72hrs of receiving denial notice, a new waiver I-751, divorce decree & $680 cheque, sent to Vermont via FedEx overnight 9am priority.  
Dec 2019: Filed FOIA request for full A# file
Feb 2020: FOIA request completed - entire A# file received as a .PDF; 197 pages fully redacted, and 80 partially redacted. Don't waste your time!
March 2021: I-751 #2 denied for lack of evidence. No RFE, no interview, and evidence in previous I-751 not reviewed - contrary to policy. Huge errors in adjudication.

N-400 - Feb 2018 - Apr 2021 [Denied]

 

February 2018: N-400 filed online.  $725 paid to the USCIS paperwork wastage fund

February  2019: Interview - cancelled after a four hour wait due to 'missing paperwork' on their end. Promised Expedited reschedule.

March 2021: Interview letter received, strangely dated after I-751 denial. No I-751 interview conducted. N-400 interview and test passed, given 'cannot make a decision at this time' paper due to the ongoing I-751 nightmare...

April 2021: N-400 denial received citing recent I-751 denial as basis for ineligibility, even though it should have been a combo interview 🤯

I AM JACK'S COMPLETE LACK OF SURPRISE

Service Motion - March 2021 [Sent via FedEx & COMPLETELY IGNORED by USCIS]

 

March 2021: Service Motion request sent overnight addressed direectly to field office director, requesting urgent review and re-opening, based on errors in adjudication - citing USCIS policy, AFM and memorandums as basis for errors. This was completely ignored by USCIS.

 I-751 #3 - June 2021 - Jan 2024 [Denied]

 

IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY

June 2021: I-751 #3 (30+lbs/5000 pages of paperwork) & another $680 sent to USCIS via FedEx ($300+..thanks) .... 

June 2021: Receipt issued, card charged, biometrics waived, infopass scheduled for I-551 stamp number ten.....

Feb 2022: RFIE (no, not an RFE, a Request For Initial Evidence) received, for copies of the divorce paperwork that they already have 😑

July 2022: Infopass for I-551 stamp number eleven.....

August 2023: Infopass for I-551 stamp number twelve....

January 2024: Denial received, ignoring the overwhelming majority of the filing, abundance of evidence, and refutation of a provably false allegation. The denial also contradicts itself in multiple places, as if it was written by someone with an IQ <50.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

2024: FML. Seriously. I'm done.

I totally agree with you!! I believe house and children together are the best and strongest support to show your binding relationship... However we don't have that, just a joint lease...

 

As for monthly statement of our checking, it shows our income direct deposit, also how we pay our credit cards through the account; plus it shows our monthly payment to our rent, etc. It just includes a lot of information about our financial bond as we don't have a lot to provide (no house, car, deed, etc.) In addition, as we have been living apart for 2 years and we travel a lot together, it would show a little more info about us.

 

I guess if we truly have a 10lbs baby, we don't need to worry about anything :P

Just want to keep people updated about my progress (Vermont center)

 

June 16 2017

send package (it's a Friday)

 

June 20 2017

package delivered

 

June 22 2017

check deposited

 

June 23 2017

received I-797 notification (1-year extension of GC)
On the actual receipt paper, Receipt Date was 06/20/2017;

On the envelope, postage date was 06/21/2017

 

July 10 2017

Received finger print appointment notification, and it was scheduled on 07/21/2017!! Very soon! 

On the actual letter, notice date was 06/30/2017, but on the envelope the postage date was 07/06. I think the letter was delayed because of July4th holiday.
