We have finished reviewing your case. We will tell you when we set an interview

date for your case. Please do not contact the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in

SOFIA, BULGARIA about your interview until we give you the date.

We saw that either your Affidavit of Support was incomplete, some of your

supporting documents were missing, or both. We have marked the missing items

on the checklist below.

You should send any of the missing items to MARIYA ***************** so he or she can take them to the visa interview. The Consular

Officer will review the missing items at the time of the interview.

Please pay special attention to any items related to the Affidavit of Support form.

If the checklist shows any problems with the form, you should complete a new

form and send it to MARIYA *********************.

If you do not send the missing information to MARIYA *******, his or her visa application could be delayed or denied.

Stackeria

I'm just jumping in here to weigh in on a very important topic:

You cannot put too much cilantro (or coriander for the rest of the world) in any dish or sandwich. Kestuban, you need to immediately go out and order a proper bahn mi Vietnamese sandwich with extra coriander! I know it will be controversial to some that I am challenging a Brit on their sandwich know how... But as I was cycling through the town of Sandwich in Kent only a few days ago, I feel like my credentials speak for themselves...

Your so right Stackeria, it's the best I love it in EVERYTHING! The bad thing my husband doesn't. t23126.gif Why oh why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Forget the sandwiches, sometimes when I'm making curry I just stand there eating it on its own, then realise I have barely any left for the curry :jest:

Come on Soloenta and Samreen, everyone is cheering you on :D

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.

Thank you for this thread. Not that I have anything to say really, but i am so frustrating this taking such a long time. When me and my husband started this process I was naive to think if you did everything right it would be approved within a year for sure. I wanted to marry here among my family and friends as me and my husband will live in the States and I was prepared to wait for a year to organize everything here for the move. If I had known we would have received RFE:s even if we done the application correctly and that it would delay our case with months I would have chose the fiance visa instead, because this wait isn't worth having the wedding in your home country. At best it seems like our case will be done in January/February, taking more than 18 months from start. Seeing other people walking past us all the time really feels unfair when there is no reason to restrain us... I am happy our time line isn't the normal, just want the approval to happen to us too soon. Wish everyone Good Luck on their process.

It's best to call and better yet to take copies of everything you can think of to the interview just in case. Good luck to you and let us know what they said. :)t4582.gif

Your very welcome and I'm very happy you have joined us. We are here for you and completely understand your frustration and need to continue with your life normally. Those of us waiting for so long understand well the frustration of seeing people fly by and on top of that not be grateful. I saw two posters on another thread one went through USCIS in 17 days another 22 and complained NVC was taking so long, one of them was given an expedite when others with dying family members were denied. The process is unfair in every way. :(

I see sweet heart you are very close to CC praying there is nothing to stop you from getting it this or next week. t4582.gif

Hey Guys,

I've been reading the NVC threads for months and thought now was good time to post. Samreen and Solenta I remember you all from the June I1-30 thread. Our timelines are similar. I too am on my 7th/8th(Time is moving too fast :clock: )month at NVC :cry:. I thought by now we would be finished with the process. And to have to sit and wonder if our spouses/ family will be here for the holidays is kinda like a slap in the face :ranting: Samreen, I read your post about how if we have to wait until Jan for an interview, we won't have to do a removal of conditions, which would save us $600. To be honest, even if my hubby get's a December interview, I would almost rather wait for him to come until Jan.It would be so worth it to wait until our 2 years anniversary to come which would be Jan. 31st. At his point I don't feel like Immigration deserves any more of our hard earned money considering what they have put us through. Let us stay in prayer one for another and continue to support and be strong for one another. I love seeing the amount of support on this thread.

Yes, a little understanding from others can soothe the frustration and a little cheering from others can give a person some new energy. Compare to your example with dying relatives I guess I have nothing to complain about, as both me and my husband doing fine, just want to do super fine together in a not too distant future. Hope that will happen to you too very soon :star:
