Have you already filed for N-400?

No we have not....we hit the 3 year mark of living in US on april 16 and on april 17 our case was approved. So now we’ll wait to get the greencard and apply so we can send that copy

THANK YOU SO MUCH! we were transferred to Texas service center in feb maybe thats why it was faster?? idk so glad that this waiting game is now over and on to N400 lol

got a email this morning to that there was a change in our case status.....so went and checked on DHS website and long behold it says your case has been APPROVED!! THANK THE LORD.

our case was also transferred to texas, we got the letter yesterday and there is no processing time on any website.....thinking/hoping we should hear something sooner then just sitting in california service center if they transferred to even out the case loads.

Hello @indy.kaur , did you file for your N-400 ? I wonder what triggered the transfer, what does your case status online say ?

no we didnt file n-400 yet.

I got a letter today saying our case was transferred from California to Texas service center and i live in Los Angeles

did they mention any reason why they did the transfer in the mail

just that they finished the preliminary review and now Texas has jurisdiction on our case....very basic....doesnt really explain much and it doesnt help because there is no processing time for Texas online

my case was also transferred to taxes from california i just got the letter in mail today....let see what happens....

so we got a letter today saying my i-751 was transferred to texas service center from California service center and we live in Los angeles also. and there is no processing time listed for i-751 on USCIS website for texas.....

i just got a letter saying that my i 751 case was transferred to Texas service center from California service center............i dont see any processing time info for texas online.....anyone else got this or know anything about this or got anything similar

One more thing: Generally speaking of Evidence, did you guys photo copy everything, or is it acceptable to take camera pictures and print those out(in colour)/scan them. 

 

Regarding the photos: do you use photo paper, or print them out on normal paper ? We have a great selection of  photos of us at several places we traveled to in the last two years but they are all still digital.

we tried printing on a regular printer paper and photos were not clear they were coming our so dark you could not even see the faces....than we just bought photo paper (8 1/2 x 11 inch) from staples about 12 sheets pack and printed 3-4 pics on it by using word document and also wrote a little explanation of where those photos were taken hope it helps

Your ASC Biometric Letter will have two WAC #s. The first one will be same as on the NOA1. The second one is the one that you would be able to track online. Also, the online tracking form will be mentioned as CRI-89 and not i-751.

ok thanks that was helpful!! now i wont go crazy trying to find my case online

My NOA says to wait for the biometrics apointment notice, and that tracking will be possible with that receipt #. So you can't tract it prior to receiving the biometrics appt.

IC thanks i was tracking it with the Receipt# on my NOA letter the WAC number oh well..wait.....wait....and.....wait..

anyone else having trouble is tracking the case status? my NOA1 was 2/13 i still cant track the case online it says not found?

Processing times just updated as of 12/31/2016:

 

CSC 7/28/2016

VSC 7/28/2016

 

But this is weird, it says 7/28 for all types of applications! I guess they're still updating or it's some system glitch.

Yeah it does seem like a glitch because every catagory has the same date!! hopefully they fix it soon

here we go starting again journey with my fellow VJ members. sent our I-751 on feb 11 and our check is cashed yesterday and got the NOA letter today in mail dated 02/13/2017 hope it all goes smoothly for all of us

And instructed to pay fees after visa is issued and before departing to the U.S. We exited the U.S. embassy with big smile face! The interview lasted 15 mins. Total time including standing outside the embassy and sitting inside the embassy was almost 2 1/2 hours. We will pick up the passport in few days. Thanks to dwheels and other VJ admins. We are looking forward to traveling to the U.S. soon!

Wow! Congratulations! Now my turn! I am nervous for my spouse's April 9th interview in New Delhi!

Thankyou!! goodluck to you both hope u had a good trip back to india

Congratulations! I'm sure your both relieved that this process is finally over:) I have my interview next month in Delhi and it seems like they asking many questions regarding the relationship and want to see informal pics. I'm surprised that they did not look at the wedding photobook or messages. Thanks so much for letting us know about your husbands experience.

thankyou so much and goodluck to you!!! my husband told me even tho they did not look at the photobook. he just want to see that you have it. this one lady brought it and somehow left it outside the embassy with her family and the agent did not see it in her hand and was making a big deal of it. he was pretty much like "you brought it from punjab to delhi and left it outside that tells us something" and he was very rude to her. he saw another person who was asked to go back n get his cell phone and pointed our random people from the photobook and ask him if he has their number and to call them in front of them.

thank you thank you feels amazing

the only things we were asked to bring to the interview in the letter was the medical reports, passport, 2 photos, copies of civil docs and that was the only things they took. they returned all the originals that we had sent to NVC. my husband was asked about 15-20 questions it was quiet intense and intimadating the way they ask you questions. the lady started with how we met, how long we talked before we got married, how did we communicate and at what point did we involve our parents. she also asked things like if mine and his parents used to talk to each other when we were not present when they got involved. he was asked if i went back to india to see him after the wedding (which i had on his birthday to surprise him). then she asked if he had and picture which we had tons of. she looked at pictures from our honeymoon and from the second visit and asked where different pics were taken. she did not request to see our wedding photobook or text msges or call log or the 2014 tax returns. all together it took him about 2hrs in the embassy our interview was at 10 and he was done by 12

What did they ask you interview? what document did u carry? please give me details. Thanks!
