Hello VJers!

Thank you so much to everyone who posts on this forum! It has helped me so much in my process with my husband.

Quick question: I am applying right now, but do not have a ELIS number. We've always filed via mail, and haven't had that apply to our K1 Visa, AOS, or now ROC processes.

Does anyone else have this problem? I called USCIS and they said I need to speak to a lawyer as I cannot leave that part blank. When I called a probono lawyer, they wouldn't help me as the petitioner! my husband has had absolutely no part in applying during this process, so I know if I left it up to him it just wouldn't get done (I'm the more organized of the two of us! it works out that way :) )

Please let me know if you've had this experience!

You can leave that blank, not sure why you've been told otherwise, if you don't have one then obviously you can't fill it in, just make sure your Alien number from your green card is filled in correctly.

I figured it was the number from the website we paid for our Green Card from for our CR-1, but I had trouble logging in, so decided to leave it blank. They didn't reject the form when scanning it in and I doubt it will be an issue when actual adjudication occurs either.

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".
