I agree with you on that. No consistency when it comes to USCIS :-)

Oh and I just realized you're down here in OR as well.

I'm in Portland and this week has been beautiful weather-wise. Hope you've had great weather where you are as well.

Oh yeah i love the weather so much right now in Portland, the winter was nasty. Hope you are having a great time. Regards

HI All. my wife and I submitted our I751 in June 2016 to Vermont. We just got a request for more evidence. Not going to lie, kind of freaking out. They pointed out in the letter that the tax return I sent was not the actual confirmed receipt , which is my fault I will send this along  with our most recent joint tax return too, and they also mentioned that the joint lease I sent was only the first page of the lease and not the entire document, again, my fault I will send this along. I am a little worried as my wife and I were living with family during the first year or so, and didn't really start getting relevant docs until 2016. I am getting sworn affidavits from my wife's family relating to this.   I also didn't start full time work until the summer of 2016, so I now have my wife as a beneficiary on my work life insurance and she is on my work dental plan, I plan on sending all this along too.  I'm just worried since a lot of our docs are for the past couple of years and not all the way back to 2014. Any thoughts, I'm Canadian, and interview would seem bizarre at this stage, and my wife and I have been living together since 2009, and married since 2014. 

Make sure to include a cover letter listing the evidence you're including and also an explanation of why most of your evidence doesn't start until 2016. It will be fine, and frankly, an interview at this stage should be easy... you'll get the chance to sit side by side and demonstrate the fact that you're "really married" and it's always easier to explain things in person than on paper anyway. 

Don't worry - you'll be fine

Shouldn't they go on trainings about their product/service what to answer customers as any call center agents do.

Yes. Yes, they should. (And it's ridiculous that they dont!) Boy, when I'm queen of the world, there are going to be some new rules around here!

I came across this file/ link in the May 2016 thread and looks like 65% of May 2016 VSC filers from that thread have been approved. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K2JoU_2yXD0QBBqRoM6_auTa52wY1gcMiM0YFhs6cYQ/edit#gid=1648152996

I this there is hope for June 2016 VSC filers. From that google doc timeline, I would think they should be touching our files soon. 

 

I was thinking of getting my passport stamped (my 2 year GC expired July 2016, so the 1 year extension expires July this year and so does my driver's license). My passport expires November this year. I was thinking of renewing passport before getting the stamp but now I am wondering if I should even bother with renewing the passport and getting a stamp. Assuming VSC will not be slowing down anytime soon, we should start getting approvals in the next couple of weeks. Any thoughts?

Thank you so much, that is very helpful and reassuring. Any guess on the time frame after they receive the additional docs? I've heard as low as two weeks to a couple of months. I suppose it is anyone's guess huh?

Hi! I've tried to update the list, putting both service centers back on the list and adding a column for RFEs... going back several pages but when I try to copy it, I lose the formatting. Can someone fix this? I'm attaching the document.

Thank you both!! I am so happy! I honestly thought I'd be waiting a lot longer and was planning on getting a stamp next month so I can renew my drivers licence. When I saw the letter I instantly thought it would be a RFE but then I saw "congratulations!". The letter says I should get my green card within the next 60 days.

 

Also I just wanted to note that I never recieved an e-mail or text alert like I did during my conditional green card. I filed the paper to be alerted. My online status hasn't been updated yet either and the letter states my approval decision was May 19th. So don't rely on the case checker too much. Keep an eye on the mail too!

Good news! I submitted my petition on June 6th, 2016 and had my infopass appt today to get a stamp to renew the driving license. I was informed my petition was approved yesterday even though there was no status change online. Looks like they're moving along

Forgot to mention I'm a VSC filler

That gives me a lot of hope! I'm a July 7th 2016 VSC filer, I was planning on writing to my local senators but maybe I won't have to!
