For clarity, I am the petitioner. Wife is the immigrant.

On your I-751 the “Petitioner” actually means the immigrant. I hope you filled out the form correctly.

Good point. Maybe it's not obvious to everyone that the immigrant is the one who files this petition to have the conditions removed (thereby being the petitioner) and is also the beneficiary at the same time.

Surely you must have known that it's not your petition as you don't have any conditions to remove? You are a US citizen, right? Whoever files the petition is the person who needs to have their conditions removed. And whoever files the petition is naturally the petitioner.

 

Might be a good thing if you filled out the form incorrectly as that hopefully results in a rejection, that way you get a chance to correct every issue (like the info on the form and the lack of proof of bonafide marriage). But there's obviously not much to do about the late filing.

Well, looks like you’d be getting your package back then, and you would have the chance to refile a new one with all the relevant evidence.

Make sure to read the instructions, and read again.

Calling USCIS is intensely frustrating. Usually entails all kinds of waiting to talk with someone that isn’t necessarily interested in helping a brotha out. Nonetheless, I797 received today. On this notice it does state to submit evidentiary documents. Not sure if it’s a standard letter or that portion was specifically addressed to me

What did you want to ask them? Did they deposit your cheque?

On the NOA, it shows my wife as the petitioner and beneficiary. I also reviewed the copy of the application and there really is no place to enter in petitioner info. It’s just applicant along w spousal info.

Not quite sure if they deposited it as it was a money order. However on the NOA it does show receipt of the total amounts.

Thx!

 

you can look at my timeline for more detailed info. However I will provide the gist here. 
 

POE Date: 2-21-2017

ROC Due date: 2-20-2019

ROC Filing date: 7-2-2019
 

Filed nearly 4.5mo late! Extremely concerning and not the way I wanted to do, but when I realized I needed to ROC, this much time already passed. I prepared and sent in the following within a day of realizing:

- Completed I-751

- Letter acknowledging personal ignorance for tardiness in filing

- Photos of Family (wife and 2 kids)

 

never got an RFE. From what I understand the kids are a pretty good case for approval. Everything else only supports and reaffirms the likeliness of approval. 
 

Interview Date: 2-12-2020

Interview Result: Recommended for Approval

Final NOA: 2-24-2020 (Date received)

IR-1 Greencard: 2-24-2020 (Date received)

 

Time to move forward on N400 now. Any questions please feel free to ask. Good luck to all!

I started reading your post from July 2019 today and I find that you are incredibly fortunate to have been approved.

Congratulations!
