Thank you 

I might add that we applied for her passport with expedited service and 1 day shipping.

that's great to hear! I'm glad some people are finally getting their 10-year card.

 

my wife and I applied about a week after you last year on the 19th of January. we are Potomac service center though. I hope we hear something soon.

 

the Visa journey timeline for approval has been pretty consistent lately it's saying about the 16th of August for us. I know that's not the government it's an average of Visa journey users, but it is quite hopeful that maybe we will find out something soon.

As much as I love VJ, the approval prediction thing is not accurate, unfortunately. Only USCIS knows when they process your case.

I was definitely surprised, I didn’t expect anything before at least august. 
But fingers crossed that you guys will hear something soon as well! 
My last visa journey estimate was July 30th, so a little off, but still pretty accurate.  
Hopefully Potomac will pick up the pace as well!

Got notice today, new card is being produced. 
This is cross posted on the citizenship forum. But this is our experience. 

In June 22nd, two immigration officers showed up at the house. 
Our living situation is unusual, so we think they wanted to verify a few things. It was a coincidence we were even at the house, yet alone even in the state. 

I’m a travel nurse and we use my parents’ house as our permanent address and tax home. It’s been that way since we got married. It’s where we keep all our things other than the clothes we take while I’m working elsewhere. My husband (the applicant) travels with me always. He’s with me wherever my work assignment is (typically 13 weeks). We wrote up an explanation of this in our original ROC packet and N400. We have a signed document by my parents that we pay rent and it’s our permanent address which was also included in both packets. 
They asked for our IDs, took pictures of them with us holding them, asked if we had pictures of us together around the house (fortunately we have them and my parents display them), asked about work. They clearly read up on us and were very familiar with our file. The whole interaction wasprobably less than 5 minutes. They practically ran awaywhile saying, “you’ll be contacted for your civics exam soonand the 751 and 400 will be processed at the same time.”

Starting work on my I-751 packet. Does every single bank statement and bill need to be included? Or can it be quarterly?

No, it does not.  It is definitely a personal preference.

Many people do it quarterly.  The idea is just to show you have them for the longevity of your marriage - if possible.  If you have other strong evidence (which you should), sending quarterly statements should also be plenty.

Excellent--thanks!

yes my friend I realize that, but I am just hoping it's in the ballpark a little bit.

Received my partner's greencard in the mail today. Pretty much 5 years from the date we filed for the K-1. No interview, probably because I am OCD and overdelivered at every step - but who knows for sure.

 

I am happy about it but I can't ignore how long, stressful and unnecessarily complex the whole process was. Good luck to all of us in this journey.

sounds all positive to me, no?

 

when you say "they clearly read up on us". What do you mean by that?

Just that they were familiar with our case and asked very specific things. They were familiar that my husband is not employed while I’m working as a travel nurse. They brought up that I traveled to Canada by myself while I worked in Maine.

well, since you guys are obviously a real couple and not a fraud marriage, there is nothing to worry about it. Glad for you guys it worked all out.
