US Immigration from Dominican Republic

We are starting the Naturalization Process and we just noticed that my wife never received her Permanent Resident Card. And in the application it says we need a copy of front and back of card.

Post office says they need never got it. USCIS say they sent it so we need to declare it lost and request a copy (Form I-90 at $465). Imagine that.

My question is has a yone applied for Naturalization successfully without having a physical copy of the Perm Res Card?

Thank you.

Good afternoon,

I read and knew that we had to send forms I130 and I485 together but my husband sent I130 first, we already got the letter confirming it was received now my question is that is the process going to be delayed because of that ? I am sending I485 form tonigt,

are going to have issues if we sent the I130 first ? How long it is taking to complete the process in Texas

Thanks for your help and advice, I will appreciate it

Hi everyone,

My spouse filed our I-130 petition on March 26, 2024, and we hadn t received any updates until June 12, 2025 (5 days ago), when we got an email from USCIS saying: We have taken action on your case.

However, our USCIS online account still shows the same status: Case Was Received and A Receipt Notice Was Sent no visible updates or changes.

We chatted with Emma yesterday (June 16), and the live agent informed us that our case was transferred to another service center. It s discouraging because we were hopeful this meant our case was finally moving forward.

Has anyone experienced a similar transfer from the California Service Center? If so, how long did it take after the transfer for your case to progress?

Priority Date: March 26, 2024
Original Service Center: California
Update 1: June 12, 2025 Received We have taken action email
Update 2: June 16, 2025 Live agent confirmed service center transfer

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

Renzo & Reynaldo.

Hello,

Our case was sent at to the NVC at the end of April, the 24th. It arrived in the middle of May, but we have not received a welcome letter.

I did do the AskNVC thing and we got our case number on the 19th of May, but we haven t heard anything about a welcome letter or when we can schedule the interview.

I m wondering if anybody near our dates is also waiting on their letter or if we are behind. If so, is there some step I missed that we re supposed to complete before they send our letter?

Hello all.

My wife has been here nearly 10 years, and we are now bringing her mother to live with us.

Filling out the i864, part 6 line 7 we have filled out my wife's annual income, and since it is above the 125% poverty threshold we don't need to add another income. When getting to part 6, lines 16 a/b/c which asks for the total income from recent and previous tax returns, the income is our joint total income, and of course doesn't match what is on part 6, lines 7 and 12. If they look at the attached 3 years of tax transcripts they can easily see that they are joint tax returns. Would the mismatch in the numbers cause a problem, or should we expect that they would be able to ascertain the reason for the mismatch? we could fill out the i864A, but it doesn't really seem necessary. Would it help to add an explanation in part 11 for additional information?

Thank you for any help or clarification you could offer. I've got a couple of other questions, too, which I'll be adding separately.

Thanks,

Pat
