Glad to be joining January filers. We sent the package on January 24th, it was received on January 25th. Got the text message from USCIS yesterday with the case number. Now the waiting begins. Good luck to everyone!

Welcome to the thread and congrats on the submission of your petition.

Hello everyone. I've been looking at this and other forums for a while now. I just submitted my package recently, and got a text receipt from USCIS on Jan 25 saying that they received the paperwork. They already also took the $ from my account. So it means the process has started. I havent checked the physical mail (I'm bad at that lol) but I will check soon to see if there's anything from USCIS in there. I'm excited and ready for this to happen. I honestly dont know how I feel about the whole process, it feels lenghty and I just hope it goes by sooner than later. I also work for the feds, and I was wondering if there's any special thing that I could do to speed it up like talk to my boss in the gov or something.

Also might be a dumb question but how do people put the little timeline thingy underneath the profile picture? I like when I see that so I can see how people's times went. And I would like to do the same so everyone else also benefits from seeing mine.

Go up to the far right and click on your name

Select "my profile"

Under your picture on the left side column, select "edit my profile"

Go down the list under your picture and select "signature"

Next screen there are two boxes over each other one says "My current signature" and the bottom box says "Edit Signature"

Go down to the lower box and begin to design your "signature"

Once you save it then you will see what it looks like in the top box

Once you leave all your past and present entry's will have your new "signature" box

 

Most use it for putting their timeline so others can quickly see which stage you are in.  Please, Please and Please don't put some big HUGE picture of your pet dog/cat. It just becomes annoying after awhile to see LARGE pictures in the signature box. You can crop the picture before posting it by selecting the picture and using the guides along the sides.

There is a service provided by the USPS (US Postal Service) whereby each morning USPS will scan your incoming mail (just the address side of the envelope) and email you an update. It's very convenient these days to have advance notice that an important piece of mail is being delivered.

 

The service is available to most communities but some are still being rolling out so not all areas are available. Check the website with your zip code to verify your location is available for the service. A person in the USA can sign up for this free service here: https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action

 

You can also use the USPS Mobile app available in the Google play store.

I still feel like we’re missing something. Or it’s just me. Wonder how’s y’all cover letter looks like? Here’s our. 

And Ofcourse we submitted a lot of pictures including our engagement party. 

 

There are some good guides on VJ found here. There is a section that outlines only what needs to be sent and how to assemble your package.

USPS suspends delivery because of bitter arctic blast

Extreme cold continues to grip parts of the country, with record-breaking low temperatures and dangerous wind chills. Due to the extreme weather conditions, the Postal Service has temporarily suspended delivery service in certain locations on Jan. 31 to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees. The service disruptions will affect the following 3-digit ZIP Code locations:

• Michigan: 486-491, 493-499
• Indiana: 460-469, 472-475, 478, 479
• Chicago: 606-608

The Postal Service will assess suspending other potential delivery areas based on temperature and wind chill forecasts.

We will provide additional information when it becomes available.
