Yes, the beginning of the 16th month for me. Just sent rfe, trying not to check my status more than once a day. What a mess of a process!

I just sent my RFE (to demonstrate good faith marriage) over the weekend.    I have thrown the kitchen sink and - I don't have any more documentation left after this RFE.  But also feel that it just depends on the officer who is assessing.  

At least the file has been touched - less painful than waiting the dark.

Good luck everyone as the new week begins

I sure you’ll will hear something soon.  I’m curious to know, if you’re open to it, what you sent in as proof.  It seems like RFEs for more evidence of boba fife marriage seems to be more the luck of the draw.  

Thank you.

Would you mind sharing your Timeline from them receiving your RFE to the notice of being scheduled that Interview?

 

They received my RFE on June 12th since then I haven’t heard anything it’s so frustrating. 

 

I did not get an RFE, just straight up transfer for interview.

You are absolutely right that it feels like a luck of draw.  No matter what I provide, it could be challenged.  One of the main note in the RFE was that the tax returns that I provided were not indicative of filing with IRS.  So I logged into IRS site and there were number of documents that I can download.  There was a drop down that said for what purpose - I picked immigration and downloaded the tax transcripts.  Then within a week IRS sent me a notification that an online service was accessed - so I added that as well.  Then I searched in the bank account for IRS and printed those returns that matched the tax documents.

 

WE don't have kids so nothing to show there.  We don't have common accounts or utility other than mobile common plan.  I have been in US for 20 years so most of financial holdings, payments etc are deeply rooted and I didn't deliberately make any changes.  Also we didn't need to create new assets and focused on getting her rooted here.  I sent some documents where she is my beneficiary (401k etc).

I enclosed admission letter from Boston University for my wife and receipt that I paid tuition.

 

I added both our drivers license showing same address.  I added a few state tax documents (1099-G) that were addressed in both our names and a note from Federal loan addressed to my wife.   ( it is funny - I felt like attaching copies of all USCIS communication that came in my wife's name for address  🙂 )

 

My earlier affidavits were from neighbors who I knew recently.   The RFE didn't mention about affidavits under existing documents.  So I sent two affidavits from friends I knew for 20 years with photos of me and wife when we attended their family events.  One of them is a prison psychiatrist for Department of Justice.  So enclosed her card as well.

 

Then another package with last year travel - boarding passes, itinerary, photos (location/date noted behind).   I still feel that a picky officer could still come back for more.  I don't know what else.  It would take a few years to build life/assets together and see tighter integration.  

 

Once I started 'whining' around, quite a few of my friends and colleagues said of instances where someone they knew got RFE in similar situations.  

 

I hope this will result in a positive outcome.  Part of me says prepare for an interview situation - just in case.

All these are nothing new, but I hope this helps folks who are in similar situation.

It’s definitely luck of the draw, because we submitted copies of our tax return and not transcripts.  However, we had a lease, joint bank accounts, credit cards, and utility bills.  We

also had a joint car loan.  No RFEs or interview.  We also have a 20 year age difference.  

Another couple we know also got an RFE even though they sent in the same items we did.  

 

I think everything will will be fine in the end.  It will soon be just a memory.   Good luck to you both and congratulations to your wife on her acceptance to BU. Boston is one of my favorite cities to visit.

Did anyone else get a N-400 naturalization interview while they had not heard back from I-751?  If so, what did they do at the interview to address the I-751?  Did it come up at all or did they ask for documents from the I-751 application?  Did you ever hear back about the I-751, or did it just disappear?

 

If anyone with this experience could share, that would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, N-400 naturalization interview is scheduled for Aug 13, and we are hearing mixed stories about what happens with the I-751.

Finally! I immediately went and checked my status, of course nothing. Enjoy coming back to US without extension letter!

Hey Guys,

 

So I received my green card on Friday but I haven't received my son's green card yet. USCIS usually sends notices one each - one for me and one for my son - separately and receives them at the same time. When I checked my case number, it gives me an update which includes the tracking number of my card. While for my son, it only says card is being produced and it is stuck on that status for 18 days now. I will probably call them after 12 more days to follow up.

 

Anyone who has a similar experience?

FINALLY APPROVED CARD GOT SENT OUT TODAY !!
