| Comments : |
I-129F RFE: Two items: (1) Although I included a statement about our intent to marry, they want a statement from my foreign fiance about that as well. (2) Although I included plenty of statements and photos showing that we have been physically together repeatedly, they want some sort of third-party proof of that, like airline ticket stubs (who keeps those??) or passport stamps. I'll send some barely legible passport stamps and United Airlines records of some of my flights. Update: My fiance mailed his statement of intent to marry, but after three weeks, I still had not received it! So I made a short trip to Yucatan to get it. They received my RFE response packet on 2017-11-28.
May 2018: As required, Victor had a medical exam a few days before his scheduled May 7th interview. But his x-rays showed a scar on his lung. Now the interview is delayed for more than 8 weeks while he gets tested for tuberculosis.
July 2018: No TB, but they *assigned* a new interview date that doesn't work for us, and it can't be changed until *after* that date passes!! GRRRR! We won't be able to get Victor's interview until sometime in September or October Details:
https://cultivatingoutrage.blogspot.com/2018/07/more-stupid-rules.html
January 2019: We had a new interview date in mid-December, but at that time, they said the medical exam was now out-of-date and would have to be repeated! Of course, the new medical exam showed the same damn lung x-ray spot that they previously determined was not TB, so they have to determine that again! Another 8-week wait! GRRRR! Details: http://cultivatingoutrage.blogspot.com/2018/12/visa-more-damn-delays.html
April 2019: The interview went OK, but they now want us to mail in several documents: an updated official police report showing that Victor still hasn't been arrested (we had one a year ago; now they want another), and both Victor and my birth certificates, which I can't understand, since they've seen our passports! At least we don't have to return to Juarez. Anyway, we are also to include Victor's current passport. That's a sign that they will, finally, paste a visa in it!
May 2019: Online on May 1, it said "Issued". On May 6, I received an email saying it had been shipped. It arrived May 7. BUT IT EXPIRES MAY 15 !!!??? No one can tell me why! Victor's medical exam was in December, but the TB tests weren't complete until mid-February. His interview was April 4. The expiration date is ridiculous, but that's what it says!
Marriage: July 10, 2019. [I see "Marriage" on my timeline, but I can't edit it there. Here, in "Editing your timeline", I can't find "marriage" !?]

17 Jan. 2020: my check for AOS cleared
25 Jan: received I-797C, biometrics appointment (Feb. 3)
On that notice, we now have a USCIS A# and an AOS#.
And our case status says, "Fingerprint Fee Was Received"
BUT: We have never received the NOA receipt that we filed and paid the fee for Form I-485 !
25 Jan: Filed a "missing form" request online
5 Jan 2021: Our interview. It began just a few minutes late. It went smoothly and was finished in about half an hour. We were give an approval letter and told the green card will arrive by postal mail shortly. |

We filed AP along with Adjustment of Status, but it was an outdated form! It was rejected but the rejection said TWO reasons: outdated form AND missing payment!! As I read things, NO PAYMENT IS REQUIRED if AP is filed along with Adjustment of Status. Now we are told to re-file with correct form AND PAYMENT. GRRR! Re-filed 29 Jan 2020. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
