If im understanding you correctly , Are you saying we need to upload each year of the tax transcripts into separate files? I combined all 3 years of my tax transcripts into one pdf file and i noted that the file contains transcripts for 2016 thru 2018.

Did it separately I didn't want to have any shenanigans about rejections. It does say you can put the same type of documents together like all tax, all w2s etc, but  I did it separate. All PDFs except 1 it was the JPG fort the 2x2

Initially that was my plan until i saw that you can combine it so i ended up just combining to make it easier since its only one file hahaha. Also I did not include my w2 since i read somewhere that they really only preferred the transcript since its easier for them to process. How long did it take for you to get that accepted status?

Wow it only took 1 week to get the acceptance status from your upload date, thats pretty impressive. My wife and I got all our documents ready so when we have the first opportunity on uploading our files we did it. I hope we get a a speedy acceptance aswell. I was reading on their website that they are still just processing august 23rd submission.

I'm not the only one.

 

It could be they are quoting what's left of those difficult cases. It could be those folks that add excessively on other documents. Who knows. 

 

Hopefully you're is speedy as well.

we’re still waiting for NOA2 (PD March 26, Texas). Is it worth calling USCIS at this point?

 

The official USCIS website says they are processing December 2018 in Texas  but I can’t imagine that’s accurate since so many March filers here have been approved. I imagine USCIS will say we’re still in “normal processing time” but I’ll call if it would be useful?

It seems like you should call regardless of the outcome to put yourself at ease.

Hi there,

Has anyone here filed at the Potomac service center and heard anything about NOA2? 
Thanks!

Are you the petitioner? If so i urge you to contact USCIS and ask them to change your citizenship status and provide them documentation that you are indeed a US citizen. Permanent residents has a different processing and its a slower process as there is limited visas provided to PR as there are no limits for US citizens.

Yes, I should have mentioned, I had adjusted my case status (which they didn't do until another month after submitting proof, until i called them). Now that we are talking about this, does anyone know if this changes my priority date? From initial march filing to June when they finally updated it?

That is an interesting question, I would assume that it would change it.  Your case may be transferred as well because they do not process IR1/CR1 packages there based on the USCIS site.  That is a plus in your favor as it takes forever in California.  I would recommend calling and perhaps requesting the transfer if they have not already done so.

I dont think your PD will change however i will agree that your case will be transferred to the Texas service center. Yes i would call and just ask them how will this change affect my petition and is there anything you need to do on your end.
