I was on the phone with USCIS and after a long wait, it looks like they gave me wrong receipt/case number.

 

Can anyone tell me if its going to be 10 or 11 digits after three alphabets . my reciept no. starts with MIN and then followwd by 10 digits.

 

They received my file on 10 Nov and issued NOA on 5 Nov. Now I am waiting for NOA to come in the mail.

Hi guys, our 90 day window started few weeks back and I am in the middle of assembling my I-751 packet.  I just have a few questions on some of the questions that Id like to ask from the actual FORM I-751.  Appreciate your help.

 

1. In Part 1 of the form, where it asks at number 16 " Is Your physical address different than your mailing address?"  Our answer is NO, so in number 17 shall I leave the Physical Address lines blank or I shall put N/A as our address is same as our mailing address.

 

2.  Same as Part 5, where it asks to list info of any children(s), we dont have any children yet so is it ok to put N/A on those two pages or shall I leave it blank.  As per the instruction page it did say put N/A or None for numeric responses, but just want to see what my other friends on here did, cause I know how picky one can be for leaving alot of blanks as well as having alot of N/As.

 

3.  The Part 6 column, where it asks you 3 questions regarding accommodation for individuals with disabilities, those questions dont apply to us so I have ticked NO for those 3 questions.  Then right below it says if you marked YES, select one of the applicable boxes and describe, in this case my answer was NO, so the blank lines in that can be left blank or N/A.

 

4.  The last question is in the Interpretors column in Part 9, since we didnt have one as my wife the petitioner filled this application out along with me her husband of course, so do i have to write N/A in all those columns as well or can be left blank.

 

My main concern is not to leave any column(s) with blanks and have a reason for them to issue an RFE because unlike some other applications,a lot of the questions dont apply to our case.  Appreciate all of the feedback and help.  Good luck to all.

I took no chances and left nothing blank. Anything “empty” was either marked N/A or NONE.

Hi guys!! I have one question!

What’s the reasoning behind sending receipts of jewelry like rings and others?

 

I’ve seen that some people have sent receipts of such items. I have the receipt of a puppy that my husband gave to me as a Valentine’s Day present, receipt of designer bags (Chanel, LV, Gucci) given as birthday presents and the engagement ring as well as other pieces of jewelry. Should we add these or are they not relevant? 

 

Thank you!

It is to show that like any normal relationship, you are buying your partner gifts. It is definitely NOT strong evidence though, so it is not really that important....you could have bought something and kept it for yourself, given it to someone else, etc. Send it if you want, but it is not really that important. It won't make or break a case at all, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Your NOA1 receipt number on text or the actual letter in the mail? Because many applicants with expired green cards are still waiting to receive their NOA1 in the mail. It's really delayed, 3  to 5 weeks of wait,  some even more. 

Your green card might expire before you get your NOA1 in your mailbox. But if you receive a text with your case number that a first step to cool down a little bit. 

They scan your file the day they receive it, not the NOA1 date. If they receive it on 11/13, that's the date you filed. You are good even if green card expires or file is sent back to you.
