I-751 October 2017 filers

[dilip 187]

I got passport stamped, so it seems VSC is giving low priority of my case to approve ROC?  Since all the cases around me were approved.  I also filed N-400 but case is not transferred to NBC.

@dilip - one thing to keep in mind, knowing what we know now.  Just because you don’t get a transfer notice doesn’t mean your file is not transferred.

 

We know the online update is unreliable, and we also know notices get lost in the mail way too often.

Oddly enough the opposite happens on occasion.. we got word of our ROC approval via email and txt. And while we have Unformed Delivery of our mail, one day our email showed routine pieces of mail (bills, spam mail etc) coming but nothing from USCIS. Strangely enough, we got all the mail that was displayed in the Informed Delivery.. AND an additional mail from USCIS not displayed in the USPS email. That was the approval letter, a pleasant surprise. Next day the green card also came, but we were expecting/tracking that.

I really don' t know what USCIS is doing, Many  Nov and Dec 2017 filers were not approved yet, but some of the March 2018 firers got approved..

 

I guess they just randomly pick a case to approve...

 

Good luck everyone.

So it seems anything can happen and there is no pattern. Only waiting game.

They are really randomly handling cases . I am not sure how a government agency can do such a sloppy job where you are not following a set standards.

If you don't have attorney hired then you have nothing to do with G 28. Just send the evidence. Did you originally file in California? When did they transfer to Texas?

Well, I suppose it's nice to know that our case got touched WAC18030xxxxx 

 

Today (2/26) we received RFE postmarked from CSC on 2/19.  Felt pretty good about what we provided, but time to dig up more evidence!  😕

What did you send in the first place that somehow they felt missed the mark?

I submitted as much as I had available on behalf of my wife as directed by the VJ guide including shared assets/liabilities like car titles, insurance, joint bank accounts, beneficiary summaries for various retirement or investment accounts, affidavits from friends that know us as a bonafide married couple, recorded trips with photos, itineraries and joint finances like tax returns and other accounts.

 

However, for the most part... I understand the push back mainly in one area.  Although I had showed various pieces of identification and statements showing the same mailing address.  They are challenging the evidence on joint occupancy.  The skinny is... I had already owned my property and associated mortgage for several years before we met.  She had moved in upon PoE date, we had gotten married and we have been living together ever since.  Although we have joint finances did not necessarily want to go through the trouble of making our home a community property which not only involves amending deeds and mortgage.  At least in the state of WA, even when we go through a Re-Fi, quitclaim deed needs be issued to convert owners name (me) from "single man" to "married man" -- but that was not enough.

 

As we are in it for the long haul -- I suppose we can go through this process to make our deeds and mortgages in both names and hopefully pass RFE with flying colors.  Lastly, some of our home utilities, cable, cell account only allow one name even if joint account.  The only solution I see to that is the mix and match primary account holder with our names.

To be honest, CSC was not that helpful.  They just gave me boiler-plate statement of submit additional evidence and proceeded with a list of things.  Much of which I have already submitted.

 

 

 

The last comment "do not send copies of documents previously submitted" while I understand, makes it tough if nothing has changed since we first filed ROC.  At this point, I may seek legal advice to see if the joint ownership piece is even enough.  Have not kept up with how immigration has evolved since... well ya know.  Anyways, good luck to all!

What i understand is our cases took so long to be reviewed,  so i do believe they want updated evidences like tax, joint bank statements,bills and assets, and that couples are  still living together.
