Received mine and my sons letters in the mail today.....APPROVED 02/02/16!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Can someone update the list for me please.

Hi all,

I called USCIS today to see if I could file a service request, as it's been over 7 months. They said the service centers give out the 6 month processing times as an approximation and they are currently behind. He said I can't file a service request and apologized and said they are currently working on March 2nd (at VSC).

Looks like more waiting!

It would be either 5 years or when he becomes a US Citizen. If he immigrated with you and is a permanent resident at the time you apply for citizenship and if it is before his 18th birthday then he would be eligible for Medicaid once he becomes a US Citizen.

I thought children could not become citizens until they were 18?

He did immigrate with me, next year I will be applying for citizenship, can I apply for him too? He will be 8. I'm confused.

I was saying, I was told 5 years, as my son was 5 at the time.

Have any of the earlier in April, Vermont filers, called and made a service request?

I was told my son has to be a permanent resident for 5 years, before he is eligible for Medicaid (that's 5 years from the date of first green card, not when you entered USA).

Congrats to everyone who has been approved.

Hopefully only 3 more weeks until I either hear something or file a service request.

COME ON Vermont!!!!

Looks good.

Any utility bills?

A will?

They know based on the visa you filed, you were apart until it was granted. You have a lot of good evidence, from when she entered up until now.

_{Had my biometrics today. Got there at 8am and was out by 8.30am.}

_{There's a big possibility my fingerprints won't take, as they didn't the last time and I had to go a second time. I asked the lady if I could do an earlier walk in after I receive the second appointment. She said no, they don't take walk ins. She then added they were short staffed and walk ins were 'discouraged' In other words they do take them, but don't like them!}

_{I'm not planning on doing an earlier walk in, but I was curious as to how they would answer. And there was a bit of a debate about it on here}

_{The lady said there's a slim chance they might be able to read my fingerprints, and cheerfully said she would probably see me back here in 3 weeks.}

_{The staff were all polite and friendly, overall a positive experience.}

Biometric appointment received today for 06/02.

8am, which means getting up at 5am and leaving the house at 6am!!!!

You should have received a second letter, maybe a week after receiving your wife's NOA 1.

My son is not mentioned on my letter. But his letter is on official headed paper and says ''verification of inclusion of a dependent in filing of form I-751''

It also says further down ''You may travel outside the United States and return during this one year period upon presentation of both your alien registration receipt card and this verification''

I would call and find out where the letter has gone.

Received NOA today, dated 04/20/15. Can someone update the list please. Thank you!

Check also cashed this morning!

does anyone know a number I can call to find out whats going on? Monday they recieved my documents according to USPS but no check has been cashed no NOA received.

If you check the CSC and VSC lists, there are a lot of people that sent their packages before you and haven't received an NOA yet. You have to wait a month before calling.

I've been waiting almost 2 weeks!

Did you get NOA1 yet? I sent my in on the 21st. It's been over a week and I haven't receive anything nor the check is cashed. I lost my USPS' receipt so kinda in a limbo here.

I sent mine just before you and I haven't heard anything yet. Last week was a slow week, but things seem to be moving again now. It will come.

Is the house deed's in both names? If it is then both names can both can be on home owners insurance.

Just an FYI, you can have both names on the house deeds and then just the person with the best credit on the mortgage.

Mine was received on the 21st and nothing yet, check not even cashed yet. I'm thinking someone was on vacation in Spring break and now there catching up with the back log.

Just guessing, but it's spring break week, maybe whoever checks the packages and cashes the checks in VSC is on vacation this week???? Hopefully things will start moving again next week

My fingerprints can never be read. For my first GC I had to go twice. If the first set don't take, they will send you a letter with another appointment. After my second set, I didn't hear anything for 6 months (when they picked my file up again), then they called me and told me my second set could not be read. They asked me to bring in a police clearance letter, from where I've been living and I also had to swear an oath, that I hadn't been in trouble. This time I'm planning on taking the letter with me the second time and making an appointment there and then to take an oath. Hopefully it will save another 4 hour round trip!

Don't worry about it, I was told 1 in every 10 women have fingerprints that cannot be read. It was not a problem for me last time.

Hi Everyone, Package mailed today 04/17/15 to VSC.

Phone up and get your tax transcripts sent to you and include those in your package. It takes about 10 days to receive them after you have phoned.

They want to see evidence of financial mingling. Do you have joint credit cards?

Joint car/health insurance? Life insurance?

Your bank statements need to show the duration of your marriage, so for the last 2+ years, but maybe just quarterly statements.

Are you sending any photos? From your cruise, etc?

I wouldn't 'experiment' with something as important as this. And yes you know your marriage is legit, but the person sitting behind the desk only has what you sent in to go on and doesn't know you from Adam!

A bold move to 'try to help others'. But I would advise others to send everything they have that is relevant for evidence

Sunshine!!! Hi!! I remember you too, hope all is well and good luck

Yes, everything is good with me. We had a daughter last year and I'm almost through the first year of studying for a bachelor's degree. I'm glad you guys are working things out

Good luck to you too!

I have gone through this entire process without an attorney, there is a ton of great information on here and a lot of knowledgeable people that have been through the process that will answer questions you have. But first spend some time reading the pinned threads.

You have a lot of good evidence and you can get affidavits from your family to say you are living together with them.

Ultimately it's your decision to use an attorney, I don't know anything about the process of hiring one.

I blacked everything out because i'm more worried about the package getting lost in transit than the person on the receiving end.

True.

I see you did Roc for your children, I'm Roc for my son also, so I would pay $505 plus 2x$85?

Thanks.

I was going to not bother, it's the U.S Government, they pretty much have all your details anyway.
