Where you sent to? Did they pick up your package?

I sent it Phoenix. I am assuming it was picked up as it was signed by someone.

I sent to Phoenix too.Mine has been signed as delivered. But I wonder if that is the person just received the package at the lockbox not the person from Uscis to pick up the package.

Getting ready to send everything in on Friday. Working on cover letter now and I have a question for those that may now.

 

I see a lot of petitioners are describing their cover letter as "[name] entered US under K-1 Visa" , however my case is different.

 

I entered the US when I was underage with the I-94 (Not sure if there's a better term for this), married USC wife in 2016 and received my AOS in 2018.

 

So for my cover letter would I word it as "[my name] entered the US as a child on an I-94 Visa on [month year], married [USC wife name] on [month day year] and received Adjustment of Status on [month day year]" ?

Sent mine july 6th, delivered to pheonix lock box July 9th.  Still haven't been charged or received enotification.  I'm worried for some reason ours was rejected.  I went over it multiple times to make sure everything was there, signed, and dated.  We were eligible to file starting June 18th so it wasn't sent too early.   Could they have rejected it if the affidavits of support were signed and dated before the eligible filing date?

Got it, so there really isn't any "wrong" way of doing the cover letter as long as it reflects accurately the info in the packet. Makes perfect sense.

Not only that, it's not even required based on the USCIS web site. It's a table of contents that's what it is.

This might sound like a silly question but is it possible to get an application rejected due to the quality of the photographs. 
 

We just got ours done at Walgreens and the photo quality doesn’t seem too good and also the lady at the desk was “whiting out” the background which I’m not sure if it makes a difference. 
 

I've always gotten my photos at Walgreens because they use the tool that says US DOS on it or something. Still I’m concerned this time. 
 

What do you guys think?

Sent mine on the 9th, delivered on July 11th. Also haven’t been charged yet and I forgot to include G-1145

Hi guys.

 

Did anyone receive a letter in the mail stating that their green card will expire soon and the need to renew? 

 

I am asking because I didn't. We moved in September 2019 and I filed for my address change using the online AR-11 tool. I specifically remember getting a notification that my request was submitted but never heard anything after, such as a confirmation email/mail. And now I cannot find the request submitted email either. 

 

So, should I be concerned about it? I believe I should call USCIS to verify the address they have on file for me. Any help will be appreciated! 

 

For what its worth, I already submitted by I-751, waiting on confirmation email/text.

I would say it's not a problem as long as it's still easily possible to recognize it's always the same persons on the picture (i.e. you and your spouse or if you have pictures with the same family members).

I haven't received that letter either and like you I moved, but in July 2019. 

I was able to find the email they sent me after I changed my  address and added it to my package so they know I did fill the AR-11 form,

I'm waiting on my NOA so I guess if I have nothing by August 7th I'll know if my address change was taking into account or not...
