Nope, you don't include your husband in Part 3, under family members. You're doing it right :thumbs:

You're right, you only need to check yes on part 3 question 1, you already listed in him in part 2. Leave all the other family members as none or N/A just to avoid a checklist :)

Thank you both so so much!! :)(F)(F) Saylin Your documents are amazing thank you for all that you do!

Called this morning right when they opened, got through on my first ring - got Kerry, she was very friendly. Asked to have our case looked at by a supervisor since it's been 30 days and still no IV so she checked it out and said she'd put it under review and said we should hear something shortly... fingers crossed!

So for anyone who's been waiting 30 business days since they've submitted ds-261, call them and ask to have a supervisor review the case!

Fantastic! Hope you get good news soon! :)

Thank you for sharing. I am in the same boat and posted a question regarding the same. I will call and ask for the same.

Hi Guys, its been past 30 business days after they received my DS-261. When I called, customer service rep says that I may get the IV invoice in 3-5 days. First they say up to 30 days and now another 3-4 business days. I am not quite sure if they really respond in 3-5 days. Is there a way escalate this? When I talk to customer rep, can we ask for supervisor or something? Did anyone has such experience?

I called NVC yesterday and talked to Lea. She said the same thing to me. :wacko:

It takes another 3-5 days to unlock the IV fee invoice after waiting for 30 business days (45 days / 6 weeks / 1 month and half). :bonk:

Here's the instructions again: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864instr.pdf

They're step by step and easy to follow. Please read through them carefully. Do not leave blank spaces - write "N/A" if there is a blank space.

Is writing "N/A" absolutely necessary? The instructions do say to leave it blank... I hope the fact that I left blanks doesn't end up in a checklist...

Why not quote 33/35 business days then? >.>

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

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
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.

Unfortunately, the instructions are not accurate for what the NVC expects. From what I've read, the instructions are for submitting to a different agency. The NVC doesn't actually have correct instructions, and a number of people have been getting checklists for this because the instructions are explicitly misleading.

That's a real bummer... My AOS packet hasn't been reviewed yet... wonder if I should resend with blanks filled in as "N/A"
