Ich bin anscheinend ein paar Tage hinter dir. Receipt date ist 1/27 per der digitalen Kopie und ich habe auch noch nichts in der Post gehabt bisher.

I wish I'd be ballsy enough to use a credit card to make meeting my current SUB easier, but the frequent issues with declined payments stressed me out enough to not chance it for either AOS or ROC. We used cashier's checks from our main bank for both packages and have been able to confirm with them when they were cashed each time. We don't use personal checks for anything (never have and I find the concept baffling quite frankly) so didn't want to order a whole book just for this.

Ich wuerde ggf nochmal abwarten und schauen ab wann die neuen fees gueltig sein werden und dann eine Entscheidung treffen 👀

Not sure if this is a bug in all honesty, but has anyone else lost the ability to edit posts? It's been gone for me for a couple months minimum at this point and I have no clue why. Kinda inconvenient 😐

This is typically something a banker can print for you in branch. If you can't go in person perhaps sending a secure message asking for it might work too? We tried to get a similar statement from Chase before, but there's no branches in HI and as such so had no luck. If you have statements showing both your names from them I'd argue this isn't necessarily gonna add much though anyway in my opinion.

Pretty normal for IOE cases from my experience. I can only see about 25 pages from our circa 400 page submission this time around 🤣. The same happened with our AOS back in 2021, but they definitely had our whole submission based on what our IO said to us when we dropped off the medical. So I wouldn't worry. Seems like an odd USCIS online processing quirk.

Some updates from my end: 01/19/24 Sent to Phoenix Lockbox 01/22/24 Received by USCIS 01/25/24 "Case Was Received And A Receipt Notice Was Sent" per USCIS account 01/26/24 Receipt notice uploaded online; biometrics re-use notice uploaded online; status changed to "actively reviewed" Check not cashed yet from what I can tell. No sign of the extension notice in my account just yet either. Receipt notice came from the California Service Center.

So 2.5 weeks since then - that in itself isn't necessarily a cause for concern based on what I've seen flicking through some older threads. I'd perhaps get a little concerned if it's been 4-6 weeks and you haven't heard a peep based on the above. Also - how did you pay? If by check, has it been cashed? If by CC, have they charged your card? Do you have an online account from previous USCIS dealings? If so, have you checked wether the I-751 has automatically populated on there? And are you utilising Informed Delivery to see incoming mail?

When did you send your package? What does the tracking say? Seems like you don't have a timeline filled out yet.

Just checked and mine's the same. Another IOE receipt number just like our AOS too. No texts (we attached a G-1145), check appears to not be cashed yet and no notices uploaded in my online account yet either, but assume that means the package itself made it in one piece thank god. 01/19/24 Sent to Phoenix Lockbox 01/22/24 Received by USCIS 01/25/24 "Case Was Received And A Receipt Notice Was Sent" per my USCIS account

I figured, but like I said the tracking looked very different last time

Hm interesting. When we submitted our AOS stuff it was dropped of right at the address vs what sounds like the post office per the tracking so it threw me off 😂

https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eoDetails?rrid=363861 Seems like there is movement as this just passed the review last week. Guess we will have new published fees out somewhat soon.

Anyone's tracking looked like this by any chance? Why on earth would a person pick up our package from the post office? 🧐🧐🧐

We didn't personally. Our package was already hefty and I honestly don't think they add much, especially if you have plenty other evidence.

Either way getting added to the lease now will not specifically help in showing that you were properly living together at the same address for all these months imho, although I'd probably still try to get this done if it were me. In terms of having your landlord write a letter explaining the living situation/leases/income verification thing... What I would suggest is researching and writing a sample for him. Then when you go speak to him again explain what exactly it is you need and why, offer to show him a sample letter of what's needed, tell him you'd be fine with him making use of said sample letter or use it as a guideline at least. This takes some of the ambiguity of it all out of the equation - landlord probably isn't as clued in this whole immigration stuff as we all are as we're literally living through it. Make it easy for him to give you what you need.

Have you received hard orders already? If so, I would try to expedite the process based on this. Seen this go through a few times now. If whoever you are speaking to isn't being helpful... HUCA. Alternatively you could also upload the orders as unsolicited evidence. That might just push for it to be approved without interview whenever they get to it. If he/she is on orders that is enough to satisfy requirements as to maintain LPR status. No reentry permit or else required. OCONUS they will have an APO address that can be used as a mailing address.

How was it determined that you also moved in and that you two are sharing the space now? Has there been no amended lease to include your name at all? If you really have none of the "typical" evidence re: leases, perhaps your landlord would be able to write up a statement for you guys that you can include? Forgive me if this has already been discussed - I only skimmed through some of the previous 5 pages.

Dropped off our chonker of a package at USPS this morning... finally. I have never been so happy to stand in line at USPS for 30 minutes 😂. Estimated delivery date isn't until Wednesday, but last time it only took 3 days over the weekend also. Hopefully it'll be sooner rather than later.

Take this with a grain of salt as it has been a couple of years since I went through the same - when I received my "I-693 Deficiency Notice" in mid-September 2021 there was ZERO comms from USCIS until mid-Feb 2022 (which was for my EAD/SSN, so no relation to the I-485). The next update in relation to the I-485 wasn't actually until early March 2022. What I'm trying to say is - there is no specific timeline to follow when it comes to receiving the I-693 Deficiency Notice as far as I'm aware. Just wait until they get back in touch with you guys eventually.

I'm aware, but neither of us have any personal checks on hand. Using a cashiers check worked well for us for our AOS also, so I'm not too worried about it all things considered.

Getting ready to send everything in a couple days finally. Am I right to assume the date of the cashiers check doesn't matter in the context of the 90 day window? 🤔

We've made sure to include all pages of our leases, bank statements, tax stuff specifically. They're all numbered too so easy to see whether they're complete or not and I didn't wanna take chances

The document tab of your case

Not sure where the "edit post" option went so apologies for double posting... For you guys who have filed already - curious whether any of you decided to print on both sides? Just realised I printed all our electricity bills and phone bills double sided on accident. This package is already looking hefty and still missing a few things so I'm not sure if I really want to re-print all of this single sided 💀 Also whilst we're here - how many pictures did you guys include? We did 20 for our AOS at the time, but honestly not sure how many, if any, the "norm" is for ROC these days.
