Hello 
 

We sent our ROC package off Monday of this week. Just awaiting notification that USCIS received it. Glad to have that monster package sent off. Now the waiting begins (again) Lol!

Hello,

 

We sent our ROC packet on Wednesday 10/5 and are now awaiting NOA.

 

No updates (delivery status) from USCIS yet, but USPS shows it was delivered yesterday, so hope to get some update from USCIS next week.

@mark08 that's normal. You should receive an update by end of next week.

Biometrics could be reused, or you can be called for an appointment, nobody can tell for sure.

 

Yes, you can legally travel and work while your extension letter is valid. Even past it's expiration, you can still travel (with I-551 stamp) and work (with Social Secuiry card without wording and valid state ID)

 

Passport stamp (I-551 / ADIT) is only needed when your extension letter expires.

@DE2020 only immigration judge can take away your LPR status. While you are an LPR, you are allowed to legally work and travel. It just becomes difficult with expired letter, and you need other proof of your status (I-551 stamp in passport)

The best strategy is to supply a lot of good evidence from the start of the marriage to the date of filing. This increases the chance of approval without interview. Would you pay a few hundred bucks for smooth ride or would you want to wait a longer, potentially receive RFE or have to travel for the interview? The choice is yours.

 

As for the things to send... Be creative. Send joint bank statements, joint bills, copies of lease / mortgage with both names on it, drivers licences with same address, club memberships of you and your spouse, flight and hotel reservations with both names, deeds, 401k plan details listing spouse as beneficiary, health insurance, children's birth certificates, photos from different times with friends and family, affidavits from people who know you as a couple. Sky is the limit  Your task is to provide strong evidence, so you can be approved quicker and without interview.
