ROC FILING TODAY, THOUGHTS ON MY LIST..

Hi All,

I have 2 questions:

1. I will file with Vermont but I want to send it with UPS. For some reason I feel like I remember seeing an address other than the PO Box for Vermont where UPS would be able to deliver, is there such a thing? I can't remember where I had seen it and its not on USCIS. I assume my mind is playing with me cause if there was such address I would think it would be listed on the site. Anyway, if you know about it, please let me know.

2: Below is my list of evidence. Its not much cause we're only 30 years old so we don't have a will, and don't have corporate jobs or anything like it, so we don'tnsurance through work or any 401K, nothing. I included everything I could possibly think of submitting. I didnt add any utility bills cause they are on his name only, I had added myself on the PSEG bill but apparently they only print one name on the bills or they did not complete my request when I had called and I didn't care to check on it to see if it was completed. I found out to late that my name doesn't appear anywhere on the account. If any one wishes to see the documents in detail, I can private message them, blocking personal info of course :) Let me know what you think of the list, I really don't have anything else to add to it so I don't think you can suggest anything additional but at least let me know if this list will call for an RFE, in which case I would just have to submit current versions of the stuff I already have sent :/

lets hope it doesn't come to that though.

Please pray that we get through this without a hitch.

Thanks,

ohh yea I forgot to add to the cover letter, I did add joint car insurance proof. its included in section C paperwork.

as for 401K, we don't have.

life insurance we don't have.

utilities Like I mentioned, the gas company supposedly added me on the system but I don't appear on the bill which I only noticed recently. If anything, should we receive an RFE, I think this would be the only new thing I can send once I get it straightened out with the company and have me added for real, but that would only be from this month on, not since 2 years span.

What about 401K beneficiary, joint car insurance, joint life insurance, joint utilities bills and living arrangements?

life insurance we don't have.

I suggest to explain lack of those common documents in the cover letter. They might think you forgot and they will send RFE.

We don't have utility bills cause we lived with my husband's parents. We explained this in our cover letter, we also attached a letter from husband's parents confirming our statement.

You are fine to send to the regular Vermont address via UPS.

(I sent mine fedex next day so I speak from first hand experience)

Edited by mindthegap

CR1 / DCF (London): 2012 / 2013 (4 months from I-130 petition to visa in hand)

I-751 #1- April 2015 [Denied]

 

April 2015 : I-751 Joint filing package sent fedex next day 09:00am from UK ($lots - thanks). 
Jan 2017: Notification that an interview has been scheduled at a local office. Bizarrely still no RFE... 
Jan 2017: 2hr wait, then interview terminated before it began, due to moving my ID to another state 2 wks prior. New interview 'in a few months...maybe.'   Informed them that divorce proceedings are underway, but not finalised at this time. 
March 2017: An Interview was scheduled - marked as no-show as they didn't actually send out a notification of interview. FML 
April  2017: Filed an official complaint with the ombudsman, and have requested Senator & Congressman assistance
August 2017: Interview - switched to a (finalised) divorce waiver. Told that decision will be made that afternoon, but no problems foreseen with my case. 
October 2017: Letter of Denial received - reason given as 'I-751 petition was not properly filed'. Discovered ex-spouse made false allegations to USCIS in 2015. No opportunity given to review & refute allegations  - contrary to USCIS policy.

I-751 #2 - Oct 2017 - Mar 2021[Denied] 

 

October 2017: Within 72hrs of receiving denial notice, a new waiver I-751, divorce decree & $680 cheque, sent to Vermont via FedEx overnight 9am priority.  
Dec 2019: Filed FOIA request for full A# file
Feb 2020: FOIA request completed - entire A# file received as a .PDF; 197 pages fully redacted, and 80 partially redacted. Don't waste your time!
March 2021: I-751 #2 denied for lack of evidence. No RFE, no interview, and evidence in previous I-751 not reviewed - contrary to policy. Huge errors in adjudication.

N-400 - Feb 2018 - Apr 2021 [Denied]

 

February 2018: N-400 filed online.  $725 paid to the USCIS paperwork wastage fund

February  2019: Interview - cancelled after a four hour wait due to 'missing paperwork' on their end. Promised Expedited reschedule.

March 2021: Interview letter received, strangely dated after I-751 denial. No I-751 interview conducted. N-400 interview and test passed, given 'cannot make a decision at this time' paper due to the ongoing I-751 nightmare...

April 2021: N-400 denial received citing recent I-751 denial as basis for ineligibility, even though it should have been a combo interview 🤯

I AM JACK'S COMPLETE LACK OF SURPRISE

 I-751 Service Motion - March 2021 [Sent via FedEx & COMPLETELY IGNORED by USCIS]

 

March 2021: Service Motion request sent overnight addressed direectly to field office director, requesting urgent review and re-opening, based on errors in adjudication - citing USCIS policy, AFM and memorandums as basis for errors. This was completely ignored by USCIS.

 I-751 #3 - June 2021 - Jan 2024 [Denied]

 

IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY

June 2021: I-751 #3 (30+lbs/5000 pages of paperwork) & another $680 sent to USCIS via FedEx ($300+..thanks) .... 

June 2021: Receipt issued, card charged, biometrics waived, infopass scheduled for I-551 stamp number ten.....

Feb 2022: RFIE (no, not an RFE, a Request For Initial Evidence) received, for copies of the divorce paperwork that they already have 😑

July 2022: Infopass for I-551 stamp number eleven.....

August 2023: Infopass for I-551 stamp number twelve....

January 2024: Denial received, ignoring the overwhelming majority of the filing, abundance of evidence, and refutation of a provably false allegation. The denial also contradicts itself in multiple places, as if it was written by someone with an IQ <50.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

2024: FML. Seriously. I'm done.

Thank you @mindthegap, really appreciate your response, as well as everyone else's of course :)

I hate snail mail :( I love tracking with UPS, if anything goes wrong, they are easier to deal with. I was actually thinking of inserting a return UPS label for them to mail the NOA back with :D you think that might work?

Thanks again,

Thank you Ebunoluwa. I will definitely look into it and purchase one just incase should we get an RFE for further evidence, although its conception will be 2 years into our marriage, but oh well, better late than never.

for some reason I have the thought that these things are expensive stuff but I have never researched it.

I'm actually looking at life insurances as I speak. If I can obtain a coverage document today, I will definitely add it to the file.

Thanks again.

Yeah we had the same situation. Apparently you need to specifically ask for your name to appear on the bill. You are probably listed as an "authorized" user of the account. Explain that you asked to be put on the account but PSE&G did not put you on the bill.

For what it is worth, you can download a will from many online resources (cheap), fill it out, take it with two friends to your bank and have it notarized. Good luck.

Simple wills and MPOA are cheap and easy. You dont generally need a lawyer and can get them online. Our wills cost us $20 and an ice cream cake. ($10 for the wills, $10 for the notary for two wills, and an ice cream cake for a friend who witnessed that and a bunch of other items.)

Hi Stevephoto,

I just got us some life insurance last Friday. I didn't realize it was this cheap, only costing 15 bucks a month. I thought the evidence we have is enough and didn't see the need for anything out of the ordinary to add to the list but had I done research on this sooner and realized the low cost, I probably would have signed up for the insurance just as a safeguard.

PSEG will be hearing from me soon :ranting:

I will also look into the will soon. Thank you for your input.

Yeah we had the same situation. Apparently you need to specifically ask for your name to appear on the bill. You are probably listed as an "authorized" user of the account. Explain that you asked to be put on the account but PSE&G did not put you on the bill.
