Hello everyone,

 

I was wondering that after receiving documents of RFE, does USCIS change status that they received documents?

 

Basically, how do I know that they received RFE documents (without tracking number)?

Form USCIS website, Can I able to know that they received my documents?

They do, I did. You will get an status update letting you know that your response to the RFE has been received and they will start working on your case again.

Alright guys, it's my turn now. I got a notification yesterday that my card is in production which means I'm finally approved and freeeeeee like a bird. It still hasn't sunk in yet that my ROC is finally over, and it probably won't until I have that beautiful green plastic in my arms. Wanted to share with all of you my experience, albeit in retrospect, a very smooth experience for a not so clean-cut case. I filed with a divorce waiver, and I cannot say I only had the bare minimum of evidence because I included the most I could in my evidence, tried to cover all my bases, and tried to prepared for all possible scenarios.  My file was about 300 pages long, I was a bit OCD with the file contents and organization. Of course, not all my evidence was perfect, I had certain gaps. I'm sharing a list of my document evidences below for anyone interested. This forum was of amazing help while I was assembling my application and moral support during that awful waiting limbo. So, I will stick around for a while and try to give back to the community. Anyway, here's some details:

Any other information: Divorce waiver

 

 

My ROC Timeline:

08/11/2017   -   NOA1 Date. CRI-89 Status: "Case Was Received"

09/13/2017   -   Biometrics Appointment

02/26/2018   -   I-751 Status change to: Case Was Received At My Local Office
10/09/2018   -   I-751 Status change to: Case Was Received At My Local Office (glitch)

10/10/2018   -   I-751 Status change to: Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction

12/18/2018   -   I-751 Status change to: New Card Is Being Produced 🎆🎉🎊🎇

 

 

For whomever is interested in how I did my case or needs help/advice, here are all the gory details. Otherwise, stop here, cause the info is loooong.

 

My Evidence:

    All of this evidence were color copies of originals (unless originals were required), all evidence listed both our names or same address or same account # (any kind of info proving it's joint) 

 

     Sent with I-751:

• Copies of all IDs, immigration docs(GC, passport, SS, DL, ex's DL, I-94, old visas, etc)
• Marriage evidence (marriage cert, photos)
• Divorce evidence (divorce cert, ex's affidavit, marriage counseling docs: letter from counselor, billing receipts, treatment plan)
• Taxes and W2s (2 years)
• 3 affidavits (Ex's mother, Ex's best friend, my best friend)
• Financial evidence (checking, savings, CD, credit cards)
• Debt evidence (bills: Dr.'s visit, dentist's, eye Dr, pets' vet)
• Insurances (health, ex's health, vision, ex's vision, dental, prescription program, life, 401k, auto)
• Address evidence (2 leases, bills: water, electric, gas, waste, internet, mobile; post office change of address docs)
• Memberships (gym, zoo, park, Sam's Club, employee club) 
• Other (pet adoption docs, pets' vet records, post-surgery patient release doc, trips evidence: plane tickets, hotel booking, attractions tickets; big purchases receipts, receipts of bday & christmas gift to each other, letters & mail, emergency contact docs, ex's pay stub listing marital status as married, tickets to concerts/events)

       What I shouldn't have done: I shouldn't have included the ex's affidavit cause I later learned that this effectively gives USCIS permission to contact him  whereas if I hadn't done that, they couldn't contact him. Which depending on how good of terms you are with the ex, it could potentially harm you. In my case, USCIS never contacted him (phw!)

 

      What gaps I had in evidence: children (thank god we didn't have any), properties (no house, we bought cars before getting married, didn't get any loans cause he had really bad credit and always wasted any money we had so we were constantly broke), stuff from before marriage except pictures, Last Will, trust, power of attorney, texts emails and FB stuff (I do have these but didn't send them). Other evidence I could have easily gotten but never thought of it during the marriage: joint loan applications (even if denied), renter's insurance, check carbon copies showing joint expenses, joint Netflix, Amazon, Walgreens accounts.

 

      Evidence I had in case of emergency: (All of this evidence I saved it for an emergency, I didn't send it with my I-751 cause some of it is too explicit or could potentially make me look childish and immature for saving it. But I had it prepared in case of an RFE or interview)

• I didn't send evidence of the reasons for divorce. But I saved everything that proves he cheated on me multiple times with different girls, money he spent on them, dating app profiles he had, explicit texts/emails/photos of him cheating. Also, evidence of how quickly I moved out (overnight separation) cause he was having his latest new gf stay the night at the house; luckily the landlord let me get out of the lease early.
• Police report: I called 911 the night we split cause he was trying to break in after he left the house to be with his new gf. I refused to let him in the house by myself, I did not file a report or complaint cause he left after he realized he couldn't break the door and he saw the cops coming, but the police wrote a report that they came to the house to check if I was ok.
• Financial issues caused by him: he had 6 different jobs in 2 years, got fired twice and quit 3 times, was occasionally unemployed and not contributing financially, would spend all the money, bank accounts would often overdraft, some bills were overdue and sent to collections, he was several months late in child support payments (to his kid from his previous marriage in a different state, he lost custody and could only visit once a month with supervision and not overnight). Letters from collection agencies I got after divorce looking for him cause he had delinquent balances.
• Dr. visits and blood test documents: I got myself tested just in case. Luckily all came back negative.
• Therapy sessions documents after divorce.
• 2 years worth of call records/texts/messages/emails/whatsapp/fb posts sent to each other and his family members.

 

Any questions or comments anyone has, feel free to contact me, and I can try to help by sharing my experience. I'll be around for a bit and will come back again for the N-400 in the near future.

 

Hope everyone else who's still waiting follows suit and get their approvals soon! Hang there, the wait is almost over

Thanks for providing such a detail descriptions of your case. I have a quick question. It said debt evidence, but how would those doc's visits be included as debt evidence? 

Did you mean that the bill include both ex-spouse and your name? If so, even Pet's vet bill? Or rather the pet's bill show up both of your name?

Correct. All Dr, dentists, and eye Dr bills had both names. Notably, my bills specifically showed the ex spouse as "responsible party" whenever I used his insurance and vice versa. 

 

About the vet bills, the pets were billed under the same account which listed both names with each receipt and with every prescription or treatment as well. We had a very sick dog and so I had a lot of these which I sent. I probably needed only one but like I said, I was OCD about everything hahahaha

Hello everyone, 

 

My last case update was on April 9, 2018 - we got our NOA on July 17, 2017. It said the following: 

 

"Case Was Received At My Local Office"

 

"On April 9, 2018, we received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number EACxxxxx, at your local office. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address."

 

"We will prepare your case for officer review.  If we need more information, we will notify you."

 

Does it mean I am getting an interview???

 

There are different cases updates if I used the biometricas number or the number on the receipt as well as checking the status on USCIS or DHS websites. Some of the updates are conflicting with each other and they also claimed that I requested fee wavier on one of them (but I never did). Should I just keep waiting? I feel like most people has been gotten approval by now so I am getting really nervous. We are still happily married, no divorce, nothing, so I am not sure what happened to it.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

It’s so interesting !! Just check on uscis about processing time . They increase VSC 15.5 -18.5 months, the date you can make inquiry June 24,2017. 

I don’t know what I have to tell, but their working way makes me so upset and not professional like 3 years ago. 

 

Hey Donut35 - 

 

I was reading through the thread and I think I have the same status as you. My last update was on Apr 9, saying that my case was transferred to the local office. I haven't filed an online request yet because my NOA was on July 17, which is not out of the normal processing time as they just pushed it back to June 2017 today. Let me know what happened to your case and if you will be getting an interview. I think we will probably have similar status. Thanks!

Does anybody who knows how to read the WAS number's knows what does does the year start for USCIS? as in, when does WAS18000 refers to?

No , you won't be interviewed.  My case status was the same until USCIS approved it on Dec 3.
