Hi Fellow Dec 2020 Filers - Posted my question elsewhere but figured id post here too as well. Would love your take on my situation please. Its a bit complicated.

 

I have lived in the US for about 15 years now, came here for undergrad when I was 18. I went to undergrad, grad school and worked here.

 

I met my soon to be ex-spouse in late 2016 in Chicago at a conference. Things moved quickly as we are both Muslim and conservative when it comes to dating. At the time we met, i lived in NY (where i still live) and she lived in DC. We got engaged in 2017 and got married in Feb 2018. Unfortunately I lost my job around that time, and we decided to wait on her moving to NY. Soon after that she had a big medical issue which needed treating. I left NY and moved down to DC where I stayed with family during this time. Around this time we filed for the 2 year GC in April 2018 and got it in Dec 2018.

 

So at this point I am living in DC with family and she is living at her home still , and the injury is taking time to heal. We started having marriage issues and did marriage counseling for almost two years. In summer of 2019 I got a job offer in NY and moved back to NY. Unfortunately last year, during COVID things got really bad in our relationship and she requested a divorce. We have filed for the divorce and are waiting for the paperwork from the courts.

 

I filed for the 1-751 with the divorce waiver in Dec 2020 with the following documents

 

- 2018 and 2019 joint tax returns

- Letter of support of petition from ex-spouse

- Health insurance docs

- Birthday Cards and Valentines Cards sent btwn us

- pictures

- Whatsapp messages between us

- Joint lease and utility bills (i put her name on my lease and utility bills in NY as the expectation was that she would come and join me in NY)

- Counseling receipts from Marriage therapist

- Receipts for bus and train travel between NY and DC that i took

 

i have heard that I would most likely get an RFE have to go in for an interview.

 

Anyone had a similar process ? Any thoughts and tips you can share?

 

Thanks!

Over 1 week of no posts. Not a good sign at all. Did USCIS offices call it quits? I do not like quite and zero movements. It makes me too nervous

Please do not overthinking. Just wait patiently. Some Peoples experienced divorce and apply for Divorce waiver on ROC didn't have any interview and  get the GC after few months of waiting. Some peoples needs to be interview for further Information. But as far as i knew, most of them get approval. So, don't worry about it!.

The fee is not exclusively to capture your fingerprints and take your picture. They still need to run background checks so they send that previously captured info to others government agencies to run those background checks. It cost money to do that, not because is being done at another agency it means they are free of charge.

Yes, I realize that.  Was being facetious, I understand it's not 'free'. Trying to make light of a very stressful and long process for everyone, especially during a particularly challenging last year when it's tough to plan your life in limbo.

 

Happy to see several cards being produced on the spreadsheet! That's awesome news.

I did biometrics December 11, 2019. I was ready to be scheduled July 1, 2020.

No appointment yet on April 10, 2021. 

Let's all fill out following spreadsheet from Lucky Cat. https://www.visajourney.com/profile/235355-lucky-cat/

Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Id1duRRByZHJmhEzl9N25GqwzcnUyLCR4e4N9W6zGLg/edit#gid=0

Hey everyone, potentially stupid question here.  I randomly checked on our case status today for our I-751 and it says a new card was produced on 04/05 and on 04/07 it says 'We mailed your new card your Form I-751'.  I don't see any approval or anything listed, so is this our new temporary card?  They waived our Biometrics appointment because they said they used the Bio from the I-29F because it was recent enough.  Other than that and the original receipt, we have heard nothing about an interview or anything else.  Any info would be very much appreciated - thanks!  I admittedly got excited for a minute thinking it was her new Visa, but surely that can't be the case after only 5 months?

Not a stupid question! And that sounds like an approval to me, they don't send new temporary cards.

Congrats!

Sounds like an approval! Congrats, you guys!!

 

Seems like there are some other Dec. 2020 filers who have already been approved according to the spreadsheet.

I secretly thought and hoped it was an approval as well....and it WAS!  I was in disbelief when I saw the USPS tracking number, we were planning on late 2021 or early 2022 before we heard anything so such a quick turnaround seemed too good to be true.  Thanks @wildling99 and @RambaCat for your replies - we received her new green card today along with a ton of USCIS notifications about Approval being issued!  Best of luck to everyone - and December filers who haven't had any updates your time is coming!

Hey Everyone,

 

Seems like LIN(Nebraska Service Center) works slower than the speed of smell. Didn't see Biometrics update from spreadsheet for anybody whereas other service centers shipping out GCs 😞

 

Anyone recieved an update from LIN? Also can you travel abroad without your biometric letter. But only with expired green card and I-797 notice letter?
