I-130 January 2018 Filers

[laowainelson 26]

Dear all,

 

Happy New Year!

Is anyone already at the removal of conditions stage?

[Lois K 121]

Hi everyone! 

This will be my first post on the VJ site. Figured this might be a good place to start. We sent in our I-130 at the end of January 2019, our NOA1 is dated Feb 5 2019. Recently, we were excited to receive the NOA2, dated Dec 30 2019. We have been prepping our documents and answers for the NVC stage and are eager to receive that notification so we can act on it. 

Best of luck to everyone!

Hi there, this one is actually for Jan 2018, not 2019  You can find the Jan 2019 thread here, you will have a better chance of finding people with similar timelines as you

 

There's also an NVC filers thread:

Oh so sorry! Got married in Dec 2018, but filed in Jan 2019, I was too excited and mixed my dates up. I've now posted in the two suggested threads. Thanks for the redirection.

Hi Jan 2018 filers!

It's been a while since the last post on this group.

Has anyone gone through the removal of conditions process already?

I shipped ours last Tuesday Sept 1st and they received the envelope on Thursday Sept 3rd. As of today (Tuesday Sept 8th), they have not deposited the check. I will share the progress just in case it can be of help to anyone. 

I'm a bit worried about all the news reports about the financial situation of USCIS and what it can mean for the process.

I still haven’t received any letter from USCIS yet telling us to file. Did you guys receive one prior? Also did you send lots of evidence in your package? If you don’t mind can you please say what are some of the things you send? Thank you so much for your time!

My pleasure, happy to help.

We actually didn't receive any letters or notice advising us to file. And looking at how USCIS and the government in general are doing, we didn't expect one.

We went by the "resident since" date and filed a few days after the allowed date to avoid being rejected for "filling too early".

 

Besides the forms and check/cheque for the correct amount, we included copies of the permanent resident card, copy of our driver licenses/ID's showing the same address, copies of recent bank statements of our joint bank accounts, copy of our 2019 tax return (you should include the transcript if you can), a few pictures of ourselves from over the course of two years. Also evidence of our joint credit cards. We also have a business together, but I decided not to include that to avoid any confusion, as that kind of paperwork lends itself to interpretation.

If there is any follow up from them, I am ready to ship a second packet with that kind of information.

Okay great I have similar evidence too that we will be submitting. We will submit bank statements together, photos, copy of driver license, copy of permanent residence card, copy of joint tax transcripts, and we have a child together so birth certificate. Also, one thing we will submit that you didn’t mention is two affidavit of support of marriage, one from my sister-in-law and one from my father. I will take it to get notarize.  I hope that evidence will  Be enough. I  will keep updates on here and hope our information will be able to assist each other. 
 

thank you again!

Hi fellow January 2018 filers, as an update for our removal of conditions application:

USCIS received our packet on September 3rd, and they have only deposited the check today, September 22nd. There are definitely serious delays happening, so plan accordingly.

Yes, we received I797 forms last month- allowing my wife to stay in USA until the process is completed.  The I797 form is good for 18 months and allows her to work and travel/fly while her case is under review.

Hey guys for anyone that file their form I-751 already and if you did it by mail, is there only two direct address to mail it? When I check on USCIS.gov it shows this, 

 

Where to file

U.S. Postal Service (USPS): 

USCIS 
P.O. Box 21200 
Phoenix, AZ 85036 

FedEx, UPS, and DHL deliveries: 

USCIS 
Attn: I-751 
1820 E. Skyharbor Circle S
Suite 100 
Phoenix, AZ 85034

 

 

 

I lived in NY so I’m guessing this is the only two option for this form in terms of mailing it. 
 

 

 

thanks!

Yes, those are the two you need.  I used FedEx and sent mine to the second address last week.
