M & Adam

Our weekend was JUST MADE!!! They received our RFE forms on Monday and look at what happened today!!!!

On August 7, 2015, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number MSCXXXXXXXXXX, and will mail it to the address you gave us. If you move, go towww.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

What is this welcome letter people are talking about? Is that before or after "card being produced"? Is there another update after this?

OH NO!

Came home to a dreaded RFE. (FYI, the case status still reads fingerprint accepted Sept. 8th and I did not get a text or email about this).

They didn't ask for a medical (again, thanks ANJOS!), but rather both of our G-325 forms which I have saved filled out copies of so they were definitely in the original package....UGH. But the great news is that SOMEONE IS WORKING ON IT since this Monday (RFE dated July 27th and the address is from Sacramento California, we live in New York City - so that's cool *eye roll*). Overnighting these papers first thing in the morning!

Hang in there everyone!!!

Hi, According to the USCIS web page, you have another year after applying for AOS, in that case your medical exam expiration date will be in September.

This is the best news, ANJOS!!!!!! You just made my day!

Kenzo_gal welcome to the club! I wish I could say it will be fast, but I would be lying...after 6 months (we got the letter Dec. 11 2014) we called on June 12, 2015 to learn that the package was still siting in Lee Summit...and now over 45 days after that it's finally at some local office waiting to be picked by an agent for processing...

Congratulations, your case has made it out of purgatory [The National Benefits Centre] and is en route to a random local office, probably located nowhere near you. An adjudication officer should pick it up in the next 30 to 60 days. Has your medical expired? Will you need to do a new one? This largely depends upon the mood of the adjudicating officer and the direction of the wind that day.

This is good news.

We called again yesterday and they confirmed it is in fact at the local office. Which one? No idea. Tier 2 agent said there is nothing we can do now but sit and wait some more and that we should have communication soon. My husband's medical expired in June...so we are now crossing our fingers we don't get an RFE for it. If we don't hear anything from USCIS in 3 weeks, we will put a 3rd service request. We are hoping we don't have to go there. This is so frustrating!

Congrats to everyone else seeing the green light at the end of the tunnel! We hope to join you guys soon!!!!!

Hi Everyone!

Ever since my husband received his NPIW letter dated December 11, 2014 I have been counting down the days until the 6 months they requested passed so we could call to see what was happening. We just put in our second service request yesterday and the Tier 2 officer said that our case was transferred to the local office on June 24 (a few days after our first service request) and that it takes 30-45 days for the case to arrive. He told us to call again next week to make sure they received it. Does anyone know what happens next? Any idea on timeline for approval or anything. Thank you in advance!!!

I had this issue in February of this year, because I was there last October and December for Christmas. They don't like seeing more than two trips into the country within a 6 month period - I know this because I asked her why I was getting a hard time from them. Thankfully, I had my return flight, a letter from my employer and a copy our NOA1 and they left me alone after I showed them everything. I would recommend you do the same. Good luck!!!

Hi All,

I'm sorry if there is already a thread out there about this. I could not find it.

My fiancé is waiting for the official letter (packet 3) from the embassy so we can send the papers to Hong Kong for the police certificate since my fiancé lived there for a year during uni and I wanted to know what were the experiences you all had.

1. Did it really take 4 weeks? Or more? Or less?

2. Once they send it directly to the embassy how does my fiancé get it to take it to the medical? Or does the embassy send it directly to the medical place?

Thanks in advance for the help!!!

Petition approval received at 9:00 p.m. EST today both by email and text! Here we go to the next steps!!! Good luck to everyone still waiting for their NO2!!
