It will be almost impossible to actually find the "false denial" rate (the rate at which genuine applicants are denied), which is what you are interested in, not total denials. But all I can say is, it better be close to zero!

Yes that's what I was interested in, genuine "bona-fide" marriages, I would totally hope every bogus marriage ROC on I751 was denied.

So... it looks like sent date: ?, NOA date: 9/6, Bio date: 10/14??? Now we need "sent date" for the list!!

The petition was sent August 29th 2011

We called USCIS again tonight (30 days since original service request) with hilarious results. The first representative couldn't file another service request, for some reason, so she forwarded me to some other department. We waited on hold for 25 minutes. The next representative who got on the line first chided me for being TOO LOUD! TOO LOUD!, which was a new one. Then, as she rattled off the script of what she was supposed to say to me, there was something in it about which I was confused, so I asked (nicely, I might add) for clarification. "YOU WANT TO CALL BACK?" she yelled at me. "I know I have an accent but that is no reason for you not to understand me!" I mean, the woman went unhinged! I said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, nobody said anything about your accent, ma'am. I'm asking for clarification about your point." She calmed down, but then told me that I-751 applications "just take a long time." Thanks. Then she proceeded to finish reading me the script and filed an additional service request, which she read aloud to me as she typed. It was something like, "Applicant has been waiting a long time. Please approve applicant soon."

So, in summary, it seemed like a totally ineffective waste of 30 minutes. Still no word from our senator's office. I don't know whether to be comforted or alarmed by the fact that GA-Guy just joined the thread-- he's from the same city with the same NOA1 date. Bet you anything that his, Kat&A's, and my applications are all just collecting dust on the same adjudicator's desk.

Man i'm sorry to read this, I am "technically" a month behind as we received a RFE on July 3rd and mailed it back July 29, so my file was delayed an extra month. I guestimate they received the requested evidence on about August 1st and it's now been 20 days with nothing, nada, zilch, zero updates.

Thanks Yurika & Jim, the dates that are posted above are correct, I-751 receipt date is 09/06/11 and the ASC apointment notice is 09/16/11 and the Biometrics was 10/14/11 and that's where it stops for now

Congrats Martin and Raven !! Updating card received date

Congrats Joshua Ebbi !! Go VSC Go Updating approval

Hey folks, the wife and myself were just discussing this, so I thought i'd ask the question: does anyone here know or do you guys see many "denied" cases ? where there was a deportation ?

WOW we are now over 4 months with no word!! I wonder how the ead's will effect us? Push us complete faster? or make us wait for Citizenship?

I, along with some others have been waiting 10 months for VSC and now I hear with the recent immigration changes for illegals that the service centers will be inundated with an extra load and no extra staff to handle it.

Good Luck

Thank you

Hello. I have a quick question. In the instructions for the I-751, its says that i need two completed fingerprint cards (FD-258). But then im looking at everyones posts and no one it seems is sending the FD-258. Can you please tell me ASAP (cause i only have 1 month left to file) if i need to include it in the I-751 application. Thank you

After you file your i-751 you will receive after about 2 weeks your Bio-Metric appointment notice where they will take your f/prints and take a new photo.

Don't worry, you are NOT alone.

I filed mine back in June of 11, went through all that RFE, this and that. End up it being "relocated" to the local office and never being heard again. I put in a SR, all I got was an empty promise letter. So I got hold of my congressman and have them pushed USCIS, while I filed my naturalization. I'll take my oath ceremony in a week, while my 751 is still PENDING.

Bottom line, make an InfoPass and have an i-551 stamp on your passport to extend another year if it's getting close to the 1-year mark without any results. Have your congressman to give you a hand IF you have put in a service request with no results.

It's not confidence inspiring is it, I called the USCIS about an hour ago asking if the online status check was operational and it's like talking to a brain dead robot they are so removed from being human it's beyond crazy, and I still didn't get an answer!

I really hope that since it's an RFE response, they'll actually work a lot faster on it though I will keep my fingers crossed for you guys! ^__^

My husband and I ended up sending documents about 2 inches thick (way thicker than our original I-751 packet) for our RFE response because we were so worried that we missed something. And then once we mailed it off, I worried that whoever was working on our case would think that it was way too much and set it aside and work on something else that didn't have so much paperwork. We did make sure to include a complete cover letter listing ALL of the contents of the packet and we had tabs on all of the evidence.

Thanks it's like I said in another thread with the RFE ( which i now understand is almost a standard ) we kinda feel like we've been accused of a non-bona-fide marriage and we've been asked to prove ourselves innocent.

So we'll just have to cross our fingers and hope like crazy that it's approved, most day's since the RFE was returned I have lost my appetite and sometimes wake in the night and it's the first thing I think of.

Thank you very much! ^___^ I hope you get your approval soon too!!!

I do remember that - we got a lot of *touches* (Last Updated dates) too... This time around it seems like they don't scan the files in and you don't really know if they were working on your case until you get something in the mail.

We mailed back our RFE response on August 1st via USPS Express Mail and they received it on August 2nd. We received the approval letter on August 13th and the Decision Date on the letter said August 8th ^___^ so only 4 working days? We filed at CSC though, I'm not sure how fast the RFE turnaround time is with VSC right now

WOW ! that's awesome !!! but like you said you filed at CSC and i'm at the VSC so it's a totally different scenari there

"We received an RFE too but our online case status still said "Initial Review" even after we sent our response to the RFE. The status wasn't updated until after they had already approved our I-751 and ordered card production. Since then, we've received 2 more case updates - 1 when they mailed it and the most recent one when it was picked up by USPS. I just called USCIS too and they gave me a tracking number for the green card."

If you don't mind me asking how long after you mailed your RFE back the them did they approve ?

Congrats on your approval I can remember when we did our "adjustment of status" and got the conditional GC the online case status worked fine and was updated in a timely manner.

the most that they look for is finacials banking jointly, credit cards jointly.tax transcripts three years jointly.401-k or ira, or stocks you named as the beneficary.the uscis knows that you will not trust any one with your finacials. if you did not love them,

Yup there was those kind of things included in the first packet sent last year, and they still asked for more.

Hey all, my first post here so bear with me ;-)

Sept '11 we filed the I-751 and received the notice to go get biometrics done that was all good, case status was displayed on the USCIS site, then it wasn't updated at all and I started to become a little anxious, then received a letter from USCIS for RFE in the first week of July '12.

We compiled more evidence eg: wills, water bill, Dog adoption papers and subsequent vet vaccination papers showing both our names and our address, 2 notarised affidavits, House insurance policy with both our names and address on it and mailed it back to USCIS VSC first week of August ( our deadline was Sept 28) So here we sit nervously waiting for a reply, I gotta tell ya this is harrowing ! since we started this whole immigration process back in 2008 it's been totally smooth sailing, everything has gone according to plan and not a single problem encountered 'till this RFE.

It appears that the "online case status" is out of order permanently ?

cheers
