Hello everyone! Can you please give me some advice on how to get these numbers? Im bringing my whole family here and after following the nvc guide here , I finally get the case numbers for my wife and two kids over the phone. Everything was running smooth until I asked them if they can give me the IIN as well (you have ask for the INVOICE INDENTIFICATION NUMBER otherwise , they dont have any Idea what the hell IIN is , which Is pretty pathetic in my opinion) and of course they blatantly shut me down. I called back again after a few hours hoping Ill get a better agent and same thing , they dont want to give it to me.

What was your experience when you asked for these numbers over the phone?

The agent said I will receive an emall within 20 business days with the information Im asking for then hung up. Funny thing was , I never provide my email address in my applications

Mine was given to me at the same time as the case number. I just told her I need the case and the invoice number. She only asked me for the the immigrants' and petitioner's name and DOB.

Keep calling. One must know and could it to you.

I just asked for the invoice number and I was given it no questions asked. In fact, the agent sounded incredibly happy that I even asked for it.

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

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.

Apple21 is correct. Once AOS is invoiced, you will receive an email. Not sure if IIN is included but you can then tell them you would need it to login to pay.

Thanks everyone. I never really thought that it's going to be a big deal since what matters most are the case numbers which I already have and still , they refused to give me the IIN 3x now. . I'll try again tonight and pissed them off even more

Actually you really need the IIN to do anything else on the case.

Sounds like they haven't generated them yet.

Are you the petitioner for everyone?

Ok guys , I finally got the IIN but only for my wife and not my kids. What happened was I sent them an email last May 29th asking for any info about my case number (this is before I start calling them) and sure enough, after one month of silence, I got an email containing the case number of my wife and the IIN.

I tried to log in at the ceac website and it says my case is not eligible for further processing at this time. This is getting really frustrating

You already got the case number but not the IIN? I tried several times to get the IIN from the operator but they refuse to do so. All I have is the IIN for my wife . I wanna say keep calling them but that route didn't help me at all
