I'm sorry I haven't read all 120 pages on this thread so don't know if it's been said already. You can file MFS using e-filing if you use H&R Block. I don't know if any other software works also.

With H&R Block, if you leave your foreign spouse's SSN blank, it takes you to another page where you can select a reason why it's blank. In our case, because we're not yet permanent residents or citizens.

The return went through no problem and my husband paid the taxes he owed without any obstacles.

Again, sorry if this was already mentioned.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

I have been trying to look through others timelines to see what the wait time if between emailing the AOS packet and NVC showing it in their system as received. I sent mine off (electronically) a week ago (march 6th) and they still aren't showing it in their system. At what point do we decide they never got it and send it again? Waiting for 20-30 days seems like a waste.

Thanks for your reply, but the lady at NVC said that usually they ship 129F to the embassy from NVC, but it may take a week or two, so my understanding was that they have the 129F form on the system, which can go to the embassy any time now... But my I-130 has been received, but it may take up to 30 business days to get it to their system... And I am worried that my 129F can arrive to the embassy earlier than my 130 will receive a case number... If this happens, would it be possible for me not to pursue K3, but just wait for the 130 processing?

Also, has your 129F case number started with "MSC" as well?

Different reps. from NVC told me the same thing the first calls I made inquiring about our I-129F, but when they knew our I-130 was also there they just said that they will make a decision regarding the I-129F. This one never left the NVC.

In case your I-129F gets to the embassy first, yes, you can choose not to pursue the K3. When you receive any instructions from the embassy related to the I-129F, you can just email or call them and let them know that you're processing the I-130 at NVC and that you don't want to apply for a K3 visa. They know how it works, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Our USCIS case numbers start with MSC (Missouri) but our NVC case numbers for I-129F and I-130 start with BGT (Bogota).

Did you send it with delivery confirmation? If USPS (or whomever) says it was delivered, NVC has it.

No.... it was emailed to them.

Ah right, EP for Canada :) It takes NVC a couple of weeks to reply to regular email inquiries, admittedly I don't know much about EP but it wouldn't surprise me if it took them equally as long to accept your AOS and IV packets electronically. Hopefully won't be the case but I'll shush and let some EP filers lend the actual voice of experience!

Timeline

Thanks, everyone. When we applied for k3, we thought it would take 4 months or so, but it actually took 6.5 months, and some things have changed (new job, place etc), so now it is more convenient for us to get to IR/CR right away.

K-3 visa (most likely IR1/CR1 visa) (embassy: Warsaw, Poland)


USCIS
