Thanks for that. I had seen that before but not sure if it applies to me.

It's not a required document, so I used FOIA to request that information instead of the N565 to get a replacement. This is an option via USCIS's FOIA portal.

 

I'm just wondering if an addendum is something that can be done - and if my explanation would suffice for now, and they can request for more evidence later, at which point I hope the pandemic would be less severe so I can travel.

I haven't been able to get a clear answer from USCIS; its automatic answering system does not route me to a person who can help me at this time.

I'll try again next week.

 

 

I have heard RFE's delay cases dramatically so if you can get it before....

 

I filed a FOIA to avoid fees as well and it was crawling so I called my congressperson and our FOIA was answered the next day. Highly recommend.

Surprisingly he had a credit score and report from when i added him as an authorized user on my credit card last October,

Did your husband have a SSN when you added him as an authorized user? Or did he obtain a SSN later?

I added my husband as an authorized user a few months ago. He has no SSN but he has an ITIN.

Yet, he does NOT have neither credit score nor credit history....😔

A lawyer also advised me to do the i 864ez instead of the regular i 864. The ez shows that you make enought money and not needing a joint sponsor. There are three requirements that must be met to file the i 864ez.

You may use Form I-864EZ if ALL the following conditions apply:

1. You are the person who filed or is filing Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, for a relative being sponsored;

2. The relative you are sponsoring is the only person listed on Form I-130; and

3. The income you are using to qualify is based entirely on your salary or pension and is shown on one or more Internal

 

 

Oh shoot..Wish I could know that earlier. I sent I-864 with my husband's AOS package. Does that mean USCIS is going to return it?

[ShayrineC 43]

Dear all, need some help. I'm preparing the forms to refile again tomorrow. Regarding the benefits section under Part 3, Page 11, Question 25, what should I put for it since it does not apply to me? 

 

Yes would mean i had filed for benefits and I had withdrew application, but NO would mean that I applied for something. What did you guys put? Thanks!

I have the same question, I am an F1 student so I can't hold a SSN therefore I can't have a credit score report.

First, I want to thank everyone in this community for the information.

 

So I summited my documentation back in march and got back because and outdated form I-485. We resend all the forms including the I-944. Today, we got all the documentation back with a letter saying that:

 

The application/petition has not been fully completed. Based on the selection made under part 2 Application Type or Filling Category, the Form I-944, and/or Form I-864/I-864EZ. Please review the form instructions for information. 

Please be sure to complete the application fully, submit the appropriate fees, and include all required supporting documentation.  

 

I don't understand because we summited the I-485, I-130, I-864, I-130A, I-693, I-944. So I guess the issue was that we didn't filled the forms well. 

 

Does anyone has any suggestion? 

 

THANK YOU!😀

I think you missed some important information on the forms: I-944, and I-864, you should double check the forms

your AOS package will not be returned only because you sent I-864 instead of I-864ez.

I am co-sponsor for my son's wife from Colombia.  She received her K-1 visa, came to the US, and they were married 02-29-20.  Their AOS packet including G-1145, G-1450, I-485, 

I-944, I-865, I-864 (sponsor), I-864 (co-sponsor), I-765, and I-131 and all supporting documentation was mailed USPS 04-03-20 and received at Chicago Lockbox 04-08-20, but still no NOA.  I have seen other posts here where people have gotten responses much quicker than that.  Could the lack of response  mean the application was not accepted and is on its way back?  Her I-94 expires on 05-19-20, so at this rate there would not be time to refile before then.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

OMG! Guys we got the texts!!! 🥰 I’m so happy! Now we leveled up to the “official wait” 🤣. It’s hard to not get anxious during times like these so these texts did bring a huge sense of relief!

 

Packet sent: April 14th

Packet arrived to lockbox: April 17th

Texts received: April 29th 12:22am 

 

Hope more April filers get their texts soon too! Will let you know when the physical NOA arrives.
