Do you mind telling us what all he said regarding ROC? My husband wasn't verbally approved at the interview so our officer never told us anything about it. 

He kind of told us that the approval rate for ROC is only at 50% so we want to make sure that we have really good evidence of co-mingling.

 

Some of the stuff that he pointed as crucial are:

1) File for I-751 (ROC) 90 days before the expiration date on the greencard. He told us to check the expiration on it and count 3 months. He said not to do it too early and not too late either. I can use the timestamp on my application as a basis of whether I filed too early or too late.

2) Once we received the receipt letter, we have to go online and make an appointment. He wasn't sure if it's infomod or infopass.

3) He said that ROC takes a year so before I get approval, my greencard will probably be expired so for me to continue to be documented, we will have to make the appointment that I mentioned above with my passport, receipt letter and greencard so I can get a stamp.

4) He said that tax transcripts are always the best documents from irs.gov We will need 3 years of it.

5) Some of the strongest evidence of co-mingling are the following:

• Mortgage or house deed in both our names
• Bank statements, debit cards (this has to be 6 months statements showing activities such as purchases, utility payments, our salaries going in the same account, etc.)
• Insurance in both our names: health, auto, life
• He also suggested putting me on the car titles
• He also said that if made major purchases to always put our names together
• Pictures of us together over the years with friends and families pasted on a paper so take can take it and put it in our file.

I was kind of bummed out about having to change our financial strategy at the moment and he said that we can just do it for this process and then after that, we can do whatever we want.

 

Hope this helps!

Hi guys. Just an update. My case didn’t move since my fingerprints were taken last October. It was immediately reflected on my AOS and EAD application but not on my AP Application. But today I received a notification that it was only now that they have tag my fingerprints to my AP application. Is this normal? Has anyone here experienced the same thing?

Out of many whom experienced this, did significant movements happened to your cases afterwards?

As we approach 6 months with no EAD/AP in sight, we did get the courtesy medical letter today.  Hopefully that means things are moving.

You just  have to relax. I experienced this too. No significant movements and I'm waiting also. Please update your timeline.

Well, after 168 days we got the very welcome news that my wife's EAD was approved today.  We are thrilled about it.  

 

But I must say I feel badly celebrating too much on here given that people are waiting, especially @Sarge2155who has been just about the most helpful person I have ever seen to the community on this forum!  I can only hope that he and the others waiting from September are going to be approved very soon.  I am sure that will be the case.

Thank you!  Approval notices 2/24-2/25 and in the mail 2/29. Actual card mailed notification 2/27 and in the mail 3/2. 

Hi - Congrats again on receiving the card! Would you mind letting me know if you received a tracking number with your status update? I’m currently at “Card Was Mailed to Me” but no tracking number.

Thank you!  I did not see a tracking number on the app, text, or e-mail, but I didn't look for it either.  I just waited.  Did you search the USCIS website once you log in to see if it has one in the case?

If you signed up for informed delivery with the post office it will pop up there once they get it.
