I-751 Filers (September 2018)

So now here's the question: are we September filers or October filers? Ha. When we filed the I-129f, we were supposed to go by NOA1 date on which monthly group we belonged in  😂

Marriage/ AOS Timeline:

23 Dec 2015: Legal marriage

23 Jan 2016: Wedding!

23 Jan 2016: "Blizzard of the Century", wedding canceled/rescheduled (thank goodness we were legally married first or we'd have had a big problem!) :sleepy:

24 Jan 2016: Small "civil ceremony" with friends and family who were snowed in with us. December was a bit of a secret and people had traveled internationally and knew we *had* to get married that weekend, and our December legal marriage was nothing but signing a piece of paper at our priest's kitchen table, without any sort of vows etc so this was actually a very special (if not legally significant) day. (L)

16 Apr 2016: Filed for AOS and EAD/AP (We delayed a bit-- no big rush, enjoying the USCIS break)

23 Apr 2016: Wedding! Finally! :luv:

27 Apr 2016: Electronic NOA1 for all 3 :dancing:
29 Apr 2016: NOA1 Hardcopy for all 3
29 Jul 2016: Online service request for late EAD (Day 104)
29 Jul 2016: EAD/AP Approved ~3 hours after online service request
04 Aug 2016: RFE for Green Card (requested medicals/ vaccination record. They already have it). :ranting:
05 Aug 2016: EAD/AP Combo Card arrived! (Day 111)
08 Aug 2016: Congressional constituent request to get guidance on the RFE. Hoping they see they have the form and approve!

K-1 Visa Timeline:

PLEASE NOTE. This timeline was during the period of time when TSC was working on I-129fs and had a huge backlog. The average processing time was 210+ days. This is in no way predictive of your own timeline if you filed during or after April 2015, unless CSC develops a backlog. A backlog is anything above the 5-month goal time listed on USCIS's site

14 Feb 2015: Mailed I-129f to Dallas Lockbox. (L) (Most expensive Valentine's card I've ever sent!)

17 Feb 2015: NOA1 "Received Date"
19 Feb 2015: NOA1 Notice Date
08 Aug 2015: NOA2 email! :luv: (173 days from NOA1)

17 Aug 2015: Sent to NVC

?? Aug 2015: Arrived at NVC

25 Aug 2015: NVC Case # Assigned

31 Aug 2015: Left NVC for Consulate in San Jose

09 Sep 2015: Consulate received :dancing: (32 days from NOA2)

11 Sep 2015: Packet 3 emailed from embassy to me, the petitioner (34 days from NOA2).

18 Sep 2015: Medicals complete

21 Sep 2015: Packet 3 complete, my boss puts a temporary moratorium on all time off due to work emergency :clock:

02 Oct 2015: Work emergency clears up, interview scheduled (soonest available was 5 business days away--Columbus Day was in there)

13 Oct 2015: Interview

13 Oct 2015: VISA APPROVED :thumbs: (236 days from NOA1)

19 Oct 2015: Visa-in-hand

24 Oct 2015: POE !

15 Dec 2015: Fiance's mother's B-2 visa interview: APPROVED! So happy she will be at the wedding! :thumbs:

I remember that you have to wait for a while after you sign up online.

They will send you a code by regular mail first, to make sure you are really living there.

Anyway, it's better to sign up RIGHT NOW.

Hi @desiring_dream18 and @changbaihou

 

You can sign up and verify yourself online. I just did it today and is already working but it looks like nothing is coming to my mail today. At least is what it is saying :(

I am also at work, so maybe when i arrive the NOA is already there...

Just received I 797. Notice date says 10/19/2018, but I received today. (10/25/2018) I live in MD. 

Sent the package on 9/24/2018. I added my timeline on the bottom too. I hope I get biometrics soon! 

 

 

Yes I am sure my date is June 26th 2019 for my N400. 3 years of being permanent resident and the 90 day window is that date. 

Many of us never actually get the 10 year GC in hand and the naturalization process seems to be way faster than I-751.

Congrats to everyone who got their NOAs!!! I know it lifted a lot of worry off my shoulders.

 

Ok, so I'm happy about finally receiving that piece of paper and excited to update my Timeline here on VisaJourney. Filing date 2018-09-04 (received date on the NOA) and then NOA1 date 2018-10-20. Click Save and get an error message:

 

" Time between when a petition was mailed to the USCIS and the NOA1 (Notice of Receipt) may be too long. NOA1s (the date on the form itself) should be within four weeks (max) of the date you originally sent the form to the USCIS. "

 

Bahahaha not even VisaJourney can believe it took so long 😁😁😁
