will they update case status on uscis website when they receive "evidence of relationship"

[spartanburt 0]

Hello,

We filed our I-751 for my wife back in September 2021, along with all the normal evidence of relationship as instructed.  At the end of June 2023 we got a letter requesting evidence of relationship with a deadline of September 11.  I thought it was odd but someone here pointed out it's likely a good sign as they are waiving the interview.  I sent an updated packet and got confirmation that it was delivered a few days ago.  Our case status on uscis says "initial request for evidence sent", I wonder if this will update to say they've received it or if we just have to wait until they make a final decision on our case.  They don't want you to call unless it's been 60 days.  Since that's after the deadline it would just feel better to see that status change to something like "we're reviewing your submission".  Anyone else in this situation?

Thanks,

Burt

May take a few weeks for USCIS to acknowledge your receiving your evidence and a couple of months until you get decision. How much evidence did you sens this time and what timeframe did it cover?

I think I feel good about the amount of evidence we sent.  We have a birth certificate for our son born last year, 3 years of joint tax returns, home and auto insurance policies, a house deed and car deed with both our names, statements from a joint checking account, my benefits info from work showing her (and now son) as plan members, as well as a fair amount of pictures and a few affidavit letters.  I also think we covered the time period pretty well - for the first year we were married she wasn't in the US yet, but we have pictures (including wedding pics) and plane tickets from that time.  Then for '20-'23 we have the more "official" stuff I just mentioned.

 

I know it takes a while to get a decision but man, that's crazy it can take that long just to acknowledge receipt.  I guess we just buckle down for a nerve-wracking wait then.

How do you know they’re waiving the interview?
