US Immigration from Ireland

Hi,

I can't' find a previous thread on this this.

In early July we applied for a renewal EAD/AP card as we are still waiting on AOS to be completed. We moved 2 weeks after the renewal application was made and did the online address update using form AR-11. We had an email from USCIS a few days later saying that the address change had been processed. Correspondence on the original 485 AOS application has come to the new address.

But the new AP/EAD card has been delivered to the old address. We know this from the USPS tracking number on the myUSCIS website.

So the addresses weren't updated everywhere by USCIS. Back when the address update was done, the new address NEVER appeared on the myUscis website. I called them to discuss this, and even went to a Tier 2 person. She got abrupt with me and said the new address was in the system and that is where all correspondence would go.

We had a USPS redirect in place also, but from memory of a discussion on here, I think USCIS have a "do not redirect" notice on their envelopes.

The new people in the old address weren't very helpful today, even though it was delivered only 4 days ago. They may have just put it back in the mailbox for USPS to take away. USPS say it would just go back to USCIS, they can't track the return and hold it.

In my view, this is a USCIS error, we did everything asked of us, and even attempted, numerous times, to point out their error to them. Id expect that if they took proper notes of the calls my reports should be documented in their system. I wish I'd waited until after the move to re-apply but I thought that earlier application would mean earlier processing. It didn't. Now, I won't be able to visit family at Xmas that I haven't seen since December 2019.

Has anyone had experience of this? I will call USCIS but I want to arm myself with info on their process before talking to them. In my experience, many of the call center staff don't have the knowledge themselves and just report assumptions so as to get the call concluded. I wouldn't be surprised if they have KPIs tracking call length.

Hello,

my husband has lost his job due to covid. I am a stay at home parent so we re struggling and living off savings. Will this hurt us when he finally gets his interview? We re worried about applying for social welfare if the officer will ask and then deny my husband for it. Anyone have experience or knowledge?

I did my interviews and i was told everything is ok, only to be called by the embassy that my case is in AP and the officer who interviewed wants me to go back for further questions but no need for further documentation, Has anybody experienced this ?

Hi all,

Myself (Irish Citizen) and wife (US Citizen) were notified by USCIS that our CR1/IR1 case is documentarily qualified.

However, in preparation for our embassy interview in Dublin next week (now cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions in Ireland) I checked back online on our civil documents on the CEAC website to ensure I had printed copies of everything, and saw that our marriage cert had been rejected with the following response note from the consular officer:

YOUR MARRIAGE CERT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS IT IS NOT YOUR LONG FORM CERTIFICATE. PLEASE SCAN YOUR LONG FORM CERTIFICATE WHICH SHOWS PARENTAL DETAILS INTO YOUR CASE. PLEASE SCAN THE CORRECT CERT INTO YOUR CASE

Accordingly, we've sent an application for a long form cert to the city clerk of New York City, where we were married. Hoping it comes in time to upload it before the interview is rescheduled.

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this rejection before? I never read anywhere when preparing the I-864 materials that an extended marriage cert was needed, so I was confused to receive this note from the consular officer. We only got a regular short-form cert when we were married.

Secondly, the consular officer referenced our parental details being on the long-form certificate, but I can't find any sample doc online that shows parental details on a long-form marriage cert. Does anyone have a long-form marriage cert, and does it show your parents' details?

Thanks a lot for your insights in advance!

Hi

Anyone else notice a change in the format of the case status on their USCIS account? Not talking about a date change but a change in the format of the user interface. In the previous layout I had a date change. Now I have a full status with the date being by NOA1.
