Hi all, I am the petitioner for my parents who are still in Romania. On the i184, part 2a, mailing address... can I put my US address or is it their Romanian address... the field is not even big enough for their address

Hey guys! We received the case numbers last week for my parents. However,  my dad's name was incorrect. It was basically my dad's first name and my moms first name. I don't think i made the typo on the original petition since all the other documents were correct ( birth certificate, marriage certificate etc). I sent nvc 2 emails. No response. Should we just continue or wait ? Thanks!

Update:

 

After eight months of waiting, we got RFE.   (Potomac)
They did not accept translated (multilingual) birth and marriage files from the Vital Statistics Bureau .
Interestingly, such a birth certificate was accepted when my daughter was naturalized.

uh oh! I am a March filler but i sent the translations to their birth certificates and marriage license that i did myself and notarized them. My friend translated them herself the same way and got approved. You don't have to wait all over again right?

No news yet. Sent i130 for both around March 10th i think. This wait makes me always doubt that i don't know what i am doing lol. If i understood correctly, once the i130 gets approved THEN they apply for the GC? 

Had my oath ceremony yesterday Good luck everyone!

How did it go? I am sure you did great!

Passed it it was quick and painless. The longest part was the system giving her issues. Waiting on oath notification. Good luck all! 

Got the interview tomorrow... and i am nervous about that test lol 

Got the interview letter ))) scheduled for 01/31/2017. Can someone pls change it for me on the timeline? Thanks:)

Did anybody with the actual interview status in elis get the notice in mail yet?

I got the same interview status, now it won't let me sign in. says my email and password are incorrect, even reset the password and still nothing So is the interview notice a glitch or for realz?

Mine says In Process Your benefit request has been accepted and is under review. Anybody else with this awesome status?

@Qutza

Having an IOE number is one the worst things that could have happened to anyone applying for Naturalization. This is due to the failure of the new ELIS system that USCIS implemented to process everything "electronically" and didn't work out as expected.

AFAIK there's a period between April and August when all the N400 filers got an IOE number, which meant they would be processed under the new ELIS system. As you might have heard, the issues created a backlog and it goes from bad to worst depending on your Field Office, there are people that filed in late April that are barely getting their appointments scheduled in October.

For comparison people that have NBC numbers that filed in September are already in line for interview, this again depends on the Field Office, your back ground and the alignment of the stars and the moon the day you were born .... anyhow... just venting a little bit.

oh no.... well shoot....

So what am i missing? What is the deal with having an IOE number?

I will assume that you are an IOE filer as well and the unfortunate answer is some other people are seeing delays on their biometrics scheduling.

You can always contact them and see if they can give you an update. Good luck !

ok , just to confirm, when you say delays on their biometrics scheduling, you mean for them to update the status after i have already went, right?

My case status still shows that they scheduled me for biometrics. I went more than a month ago. is that normal for them ?

Can someone please add me too? GC 09/16/2010 , Sent on Aug 9th to Dallas, fingerprints 9/7. Field office Raleigh NC

Good afternoon! Just mailed the N400 with priority mail 2 days delivery. I sent the cc auth form. I wonder how fast they charge my card once they receive the application. Thanks! and good luck to all !! Looking fwd to this journey with all of you!!

The general opinion is that if you have the option between 5-year residency application and marriage-based application, to go with the 5-year one since it requires less documentation and fewer questions asked during the interview.

That's what i thought. It looks pretty simple application. I was about to do it 2 years ago but then i got pregnant and i was too stressed out as it was

Thanks!!!

I have a quick question. I am a permanent resident since 2010 based on marriage with a US Citizen. We are still together. Do i apply based on the 3 yr rule that we are still together or the 5 yr rule? What is the difference since i am eligible for both.

Thanks!

Just wanted to let you guys know i received the card in the mail today. What surprised me is that i got notifications and they updated the case throughout the process. They even updated and sent notifications with the tracking number. Yay! Good luck everybody!

Hey guys! Just got a text message notification and i went online.. On March 8, 2013, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. Woo hoo! Please someone update me And Good luck everybody!

Login to the USCIS website and see if the date has been updated on your case. The members here call that a "touch". Supposedly they looked at or updated your file.

Do people get "touched" (LOL) a lot normally? I still have 7/10 when they received it...

Ok.. quick question. What does it mean "touched"? how do you know if your file has been touched :-/

Stopped by to see if anybody heard anything... I didn't even realize how fast time passed... Hang in there! it will fly by and we will soon be Congratulating people!

Can someone update that for me ?
