ROC Journey:

4/26/13 - I-751 officially filed

6/11/13 - Biometrics done

8/14/13 - Rec'd RFE

9/21/13 - Submitted RFE response

9/23/13 - RFE response rec'd at VSC

(about 2 months later)

11/21/13 - Service request via Tier 1 submitted

12/11/13 - Response to service request rec'd - vague info about processing times

12/12/13 - Service request via Tier 2 submitted

12/10/13 - APPROVED!!! (letter rec'd 12/14/13)

12/16/13 - 2nd Service request response rec'd

12/17/13 - Card production email/text rec'd (online case updated)!

12/24/13 - Notification rec'd via email regarding card mailed on 12/23/13 (online case updated as well)

12/26/13 - 10-yr card rec'd!

One thing I have learned on this journey:

There is no such thing as an "overkill" evidence package. Submit anything and everything you can. Who knows what will prevent you from getting an RFE.

To quotes a movie, “So how does it happen, great love? Nobody knows... but what I can tell you is that it happens in the blink of an eye. One Moment you're enjoying your life, and the next you're wondering how you ever lived without them.” I felt I found something with Kieu that is rare in life... true love.

Count me in!

I can file on 01/12/14 earliest, and I think we will send the package next week. I will add myself to the tracker then.

A few questions:

- you can't include a G-1145 e-notification form with the i-751 packet, right?

- this is silly but where did you guys find a big enough envelope for your packet?

- and how did you send it? USPS registered mail? Fedex/UPS? I'm not sure what to choose.

Amywrites: $590, you should download the instructions from uscis website.

Hello!

1) Not sure what a G-1145 e-notification is so can't help you there.

2) Any of the mail supplies stores should have one that will fit your packet (e.g. FedEx, UPS, USPS, Staples, Office Depot etc.). Just have to find one that fits.

3) I mailed mine using USPS Next Day with signature and delivery confirmation. You can use any, I find that USPS is slightly cheaper.

Hello I want to be added for January filers, I originally sent our packet and application on Dec 27 but was returned to us because of insufficient amount on the check. I put $585 instead for $590, how silly lol. It was returned to us on Jan 2nd and refile it the same day. Thank you and good luck to our fellow filers!

- Our ROC packet fit nicely into the USPS Priority Mail flat rate envelopes they have at the post office so I used that and sent it priority with delivery confirmation (no signature confirmation). Looks like it was received fine because VSC cashed my check today :)
