I recd a letter from VSC for the change of address

Also today i called the Customer service and they also took the info and gave a confirmation # and said if i dont recieve a letter from USCIS within 30 days i can call back and check

Al

Did you put 'change of mailing address' on your letter, or just a simple 'change of address' ?

I assumed they should know when we mail them the change of address notice, it means our mailing address changes to that new address also? Cuz I put 'change of address' instead of 'change of mailing address'

Hi,

I'm going to send these forms too. But I'd like to know if I have to send both forms to the local office but ONLY the AR11 to USCIS (that is... where? CA or Chicago?) ?? I'm always confused with these addresses (too many!)

And also, what did you put in at the Last Name column? Did you put in your hubby's last name?

Thanks!

Send AR-11 to the address listed on the AR-11 form. Also send a copy to the service center/local office where you filed your application. I put my husband's name as my last name because that's what I did on my AOS application

Hi,

In the form AR-11, how did you specify your status in the US? AOS or what? Also, at the end of the form, they asked you when your stay in the US expires, what did you write?

Thanks again.

I put AOS on mine, and left that expiring date blank because we're not here temporarily

Meauxna, those advice are really useful

Thanks.

So..after we sent in the AR-11 to USCIS and the local office, the I-845 to the USCIS. How do we know if they get it, do we get some sort of notice from them when they get the mails? Do they tell us that they have updated our information? We've been waiting for our interview letter, and now we're moving, don't want to miss that important letter

Biometric on July 25

No touch since July 14 (RFE being received)

Frustating

Erm...your timeline said AOS Interview ........ March 2006

I got the RFE yesterday

And the post stamp said July 3, so they didnt mail it in June 30.

Galwayman, hope you get yours

Agree, we can do nothing but wait and wait and get frustated everytime you check the mailbox and its not there. It's very stressful

RFE - request for additional evidence

Why couldn't they just tell us what they need over the phone anyway...Good luck with the appointment!

I am sorry this has happened to you.

I had the same problem.My rfe was supposed to have been sent on the 23rd but i havent received it yet. I eventually got tired of waiting so rang the customer service desk and they are going to send it out again.

Could you give me the numbers you called pls?

Yes, I was thinking perhaps they didn't actually send it until like Wednesday ?

Thank you everyone

Galwayman, hope you will get your RFE soon! Waiting is stressful, especially when you don't know what the RFE will be, and you can't do anything before it arrives.

The case status said that they sent RFE in June 30...been a week and we still havent gotten it. Should we be worried? What's the missouri service center phone number anyway?

Thanks

I sent in my AOS package on June 15. I have been waiting for the letter for biometric appointment. Yesterday, I checked the case status online, and they said On June 30, they sent an RFE Has anyone gotten an RFE before the biometric appointment ?

Oh, and I really really hope they don't ask for medical examination, it's only been 7 months since I had it for K1 visa....less than a year.

Hey Everyone,

As you can see from my signature, Aidan and I received an RFE for proof that I make 125% above the poverty line. I do, and they already had that proof, but they're fart-heads and wanted more. So after much begging and pleading, my mom actually decided to cosponsor Aidan! We sent the RFE back priority mail on June 23rd and saw the confirmation via the internet that the package was indeed delivered on the 26th.

I've been checking the uscis.gov website every day since then, and the status is still the same. Nothing. Not a touch, not a "We received your RFE blah blah blah", nothing.

Normally I'm the one giving advice about how sometimes they don't touch your case yadda yadda yadda, but this time I'm starting to get worried because it seems as if the "We received your RFE blah blah blah" response is quite common immediately upon the USCIS receiving the RFE.

So what's the deal? Anyone else going through the same situation?

Thanks so much.

Good to know that your mother finally agreed to become a co-sponsor!

I would give it a few more days Easier said than done I know

Can't answer the Fed ex part of the question, but I will say that I believe most people here on VJ sent their packages via USPS and had no problems. We sent ours certified/registered mail and it was delivered in 2 days. We registered it so we could track it online and knew the exact time it arrived and who signed for it.

I sent my AOS package in using USPS certified mail so we could track it online. I tracked it the day after we sent it in and it told us that the package is delievered...to us, and that they left a notice for us cuz we weren't there when they delivered it. USPS messed it up and sent it to the sender instead of the recipient . Finally got it back and they fixed it, after a 4 days delay and multiple trips to the post office to find our package and pick it up.

They did send it to the correct recipient this time, and we have our NOA1 a week after that

My husband (who hates durian) says he once encountered a smell that's exactly like durian. He was on the tarmac at a small airport and smelled, simultaneously, raw sewage and deisel exhaust. He really hates that fruit and can detect the smell from much much farther away than I can.

It also almost made him throw up the first time he smelled it. I was once giving him some different flavored mooncakes and one of them happened to be durian... There was much gagging and choking

We sent it in with certified mail so we can track the package online. When they have it re-sent, the mailman didn't give me a new tracking number, she said I still can track with the old number. The last update they put online was that it's ready to pick up by us....been 2 days and they havent updated it. Hope they did send it to the chicago lockbox *sighs* I will never use USPS again after this.

Thank you everyone I will let you guys know when the NOA1 comes, hopefully soon.

Got the package back, complained to the USPS, and they took the package back saying they will fix that and send it to the actual recipient *fingers crossed*

Hope it will get there this time

if it makes you feel any better, I sent a box to Algeria and they stole and violated the telephone

My husband's great grandfather sent a present to Indonesia, and the post office was charging me $535 for that. We ended up not picking it up

Did you send it registered?

Always best to send your papers registered, that way you can keep track of it.

I just hope that your package gets to its destination, I would be fuming as it takes so much time and effort to put together.

Will keep fingers crossed for you that it arrives safely.

Good luck.

Yep, we sent them in registered, which is how we found out that they tried to send the package to us, the sender address, instead of the recipient address. I still need to find that package before I can actually re-mail it to the chicago lockbox *sighs* already delayed lol and it's not even in yet.

Baaaaaaaadd post office, they can mess up my other packages/letters/cards, but they shouldn't mess up my AOS package

We sent in our AOS package yesterday, and today we get a notice from USPS in the mailbox, saying they tried to deliver the package, but we aren't there to receive it.....the post office sent the package to us! I freaked out. I went directly to the post office mentioned in the notice to pick up the package, but it's not there It took me months to put the package together, and I thought mailing it in would be an easy process They told me to go back there tomorrow. The woman that took my package told me that it was her first day working in the post office....I really hope we will get the package back so we can mail it back in.

This is a difficult situation ..... can't you beg your mother?

I've been out of status for 2 months now, still working on documents needed for AOS

So far so good . I am still in the school here also.

The important part of your visa was to get married within the 90 days - which you did. While it would be good to apply within the 90 days as well, you really do need to include proof of the marriage - the marriage certificate - with the AOS package otherwise there will be delays when they either send the package back or send a RFE for the marriage certificate. It is better to wait a few more days and send the complete package with the marriage certificate since you did marry within the 90 days. The one problem that is potentially forseeable is you will incur a few days out of status which shouldn't be a problem but you never know.

I have been out of status for 1 1/2 months, still trying to gather documents for AOS. I am also still in the school havent run into problems for being out of status
