I got curious to how the timelines for April 2018 filers were looking like as I filed the very end of March and saw this reply:

New Site: still shows case received 

 

I hope this is some good news for April Filers... Hang in there

Which basically mirrored my problem with my case number not available in the old system and the new system just shows that my case was received.

I hadn't gotten any transfer notifications or anything so on a whim I checked the old case lookup system and got the case was approved message as of 03/19/2019! The new system still shows my case as received and nothing else though. My NOA date was 03/29/2018 so I'm surprised at how quickly ours was approved! So I'll definitely be looking in the mail for the new greencard in the next week, can't wait!

Hang in there March filers and good luck with no RFE!

We sent our package last week 03/24, USPS tracking showed delivered on 03/26, and the check payment looks to be processing today 04/02.

Hopefully we sent enough evidence and we don't get hit with an RFE. Good luck to everyone else that filed in March!

My wife got her green card last Wednesday. I got a cancellation notice of the EAD application on Friday due to change on status.

Glad we're done with USCIS for awhile. Good luck to everyone!

We just got an update on case status saying we were approved and the card is on the way. I guess no interview? Reading some other responses that seems like that can happen.

I'm assuming this will be the 2-year temporary card and there will be an interview when my wife needs to get the 10-year?

That's for the certified copy of the marriage certificate right? My parents live in California so we thought about getting married at a courthouse there when we visited for Christmas but I saw that 6-8 week timeline for the mailed certified copy so we opted for the same day 10 minutes after marriage receive certificate in Florida instead.

But to echo the other posters, you've got time to file the AOS so try not to worry too much. This extra time allows you to double, triple, quadruple check everything else that needs to be sent in the package.

Yeah my wife and I are in the same boat since we married in December and I have to file married filing jointly for the tax year.

We'll be going to a taxpayer assistance center to file the return with the form W-7 (for the ITIN) as it looks like you have to provide original documentation along with the form. We'll be using her passport for that. Lucky for us there's one right down the road from where we live.

I got my text and e-mail last night as well.

Now it's the waiting game.

Filed on Wednesday for my wife and now just waiting for NOA1 or check cashed as a sign she's in the system.

Good luck everybody!

My fiance had her interview on Wednesday and they barely asked any questions. She said it was really easy and she did not have to be so nervous. So I think y'all will be fine, just be prepared to have all the required documentation. Reading through the reviews of the Guangzhou consulate will help too as a lot of posters posted the questions they were asked and what the procedure was.

We're worried though because they did not take her passport photos so unsure where that leaves the visa.

Thanks for the reply. I did some googling and found others had put the little black vertical number next to the photo on the info page. There was no red number on the first page just the passport number again but vertical.

We just put city where she had the passport assigned to.

Also I have another question. My fiance received what I assume is packet 3? It's only asking for DS-160, copy of information page in passport, and 2 passport photographs. This is different than what is listed on ustraveldocs though.

Hey guys, my fiance and I are filling out the DS-160 form and it asks for a 'Passport Book Number', where would this be located in a Chinese passport?

Thanks for the help.

EDIT:

Also the City of Issuance isn't listed on the passport either. Just the province of Jilin.

So I called today and it appears I've got a case number. Also the customer service rep said they sent the package already to the consulate on Monday.

Although now I'm a little lost about what to do next lol.

I just got the text for change to case, we are approved!

Received the NOA1 e-mail/text message today (05/11/2015)

Sent to the lockbox PO address last Monday (05/04/2015) and was delivered by USPS last Wednesday (05/06/2015).

Got that WAC receipt number for the CSC too.

Welp, that was fast just got a text that our packet was received and we got a number beginning with WAC. Filing from Florida btw

Nice, I'm hopeful I'll get a WAC number too seeing as I'm also in Florida. Your package got to them one day earlier so maybe I'll get a text tomorrow

Just mailed out package this morning and should hit the lockbox on Wednesday. Hoping for that CSC and no complications haha.

Good luck everyone!

Oh thank you very much for the response. She doesn't have White Book certificates so I will pass that along to her and see if she can get some copies. I figured we worrying a bit much, thank you for assuaging my concerns.

Hello, I just want to first say this site is an enormous help with consolidating all the visa related information into one easy to read spot and I thank all the posters for providing their input to help everybody out. That said, I have an issue/question related to the K-1 visa process my fiance will be going through.

I'm just in the beginning stages of putting together the I-129F packet and my fiance is filling out the biographic form(s) G-325A to send back to me but we've already hit a bump/complication. She at one point had multiple booklets and was using them interchangeably. She was born in Yunnan province under one family name and received a booklet there and the DOB year was 1994. However her mother got a divorce and remarried in Jilin province. So she was listed on another booklet in Jilin but with the DOB year being 1996. She has canceled the other older booklet and now just has the Jilin version (she lives there now). She went to school with that one and she also just got a passport using the current booklet as well. The issue (I think) is that she used the older booklet for work before she canceled it.

So my question/issue is for employment history portion she worked in 2010 but according to the booklet/DOB she would be really young to be working and I was wondering if that would throw any red flags or be a problem. Would it be possible to receive any advice for this? I am figuring we can just list the DOB on the current booklet and passport and worrying over nothing?

Thank you again for any help you can provide.
