we send club member and gym member ship. not sure if we should resend them, if you book hotel in expedia it will only show one name and i already give them the receipt but they want more... really can not think of others.

Do you use Gas? Do you finance anything like a vehicle, home, land etc?

• Copy of our Internet Bill. not allow adding name as well as phone plan, we call many time and they said they can not do that.
• Copy of our Utility Bill. check
• Copy of our Life Insurance. do not have
• Copy of our Renters Insurance check
• Copy of our Automobile Insurance. check

Anything else we can add? thanks

What they probably mean by "they can't' is to add your spouses name dated back but for future bills they should be able to add the name.

Anything that shows both of your names. Tickets, Receipts, Sams Club  member cards or any other Memberships like gym etc...?!

A joint cell phone bill or utility bill will not work, because they not allow to add both name. they only want thing with both name....

They clearly want to see more co-mingling.

Your cellphone provider should be able to add your spouse, as well as internet.

City or Utilities like Gas, Electric etc should be able to add spouse aswell. I would either go in person or address your concern over the phone. I did the same before i applied for ROC. Most companies etc will understand.

I added the following to my application

• Copy of our Internet Bill.
• Copy of our Utility Bill.
• Copy of our Life Insurance.
• Copy of our Renters Insurance
• Copy of our Automobile Insurance.

As of December 16th - after 364 days - my status changed to "New Card is Being Produced"

 

FINALLY!

Quick update, i haven't been on hence i was gone on vacation.

Notification Letter and GC arrived on December 19th simultaneously.

As long as your Extension Letter is not expired, you should be fine.  My 10 years green card arrived while I was out of the US - no troubles at POE. 

 

Congratulations on your ROC approval and Have a safe trip!

 

 

 

Thank you very much!

Hey VJers,

my Status changed today to "New Card is being Produced" i am very relieved and happy that the ROC Journey is finally behind me.

BUT i am leaving the country on Wednesday for a vacation. My question is can i still use my expired Greencard accompanied by my extension letter to re-enter the country? 

I am afraid my new GC won't get here by wednesday.

Happened to a whole bunch of people just now.

i wonder why

My Case just updated to "Case Was Updated to Show Fingerprints Were Taken"  umm.... lol? 

Roundtrip ticket worked for me. I saved about 50 %. You still have plenty of time to figure that out. It's a long drawn out process, unfortunately. The ticket should be the last thing to worry about, honestly.

But you'll be looking at around 700-1200 Euros depending on the season and how far in advance you book. 

There's an unwritten rule that says around 50-55 days prior to  preferred departure date you'll see prices drop quite a bit.

Good Luck on your Journey. Dont drive yourself crazy! It will all fall into place but you have to be very patient.

My status just changed to 'fingerprint review was completed.'

Same here.  We had our Bio appointment yesterday.  I live in Chicago but this place was on the south side and took 1.5 hours each way.  The place was absolutely empty.  There appeared to only be 3-4 people working there and no other customers.  We checked in at the front, turned off our phones, and immediately had a picture and fingerprints taken.  Like you, only around 5 mins to take care of all that.  I'm just glad that it was done quickly and we didn't have to wait around like you do with most federal government facilities.

 

 

 

Naperville, IL ? 

Bio Appt went smooth was in and out in under 5 minutes. Aggravating part was the 2 hour drive there and back....ugh. Anyway, off to the waiting games again. Will keep you guys updated.

Anyone else did their biometrics in may and it still is marked as "case received." 

No updates since I submitted paperwork

I have seen cases that got approved 2 Weeks after bio appt, I've also seen cases that took 12 to 14 months after bio appt to get approved. It all depends on locations etc. It's going to happen when it's going to happen.

Received biometrics appt letter today.

1. short line at the airport

2. travel anywhere, anytime, for as long as I like, with no worries over greencard status

3. vote

4. wider choice of visas (for example an Indian visa is much longer and cheaper for US passport holder thank UK passport holder)

5. My British citizenship remains (even though I will pledge allegiance and say that no other crown or country will have jurisdiction over me, in truth you just have two passports and nobody cares - i think!)

thank you! I needed to hear that, i guess. Definitely opened my eyes.

Makes things easier. especially with kids on the way and having a business. I’m not worried about my Swiss citizenship, I’ll have that forever. So if I apply now or in 5 years, same thing. 

Makes sense!

Whats the rush with the N400 to neutralize? You will have 10 years to consider.

I on my part will travel home first within the next 10 years, apply for a document so i can keep my german citizenship and than apply for neutralization whenever.  So i can  be a dual citizen - absolutely no rush on it except you need it jobwise or wanting to vote.

Just came back from Germany a few days ago. I actually crossed border in Dublin, Ireland. One of the two Int. Airports outside of the US to preclear customs. The Officer was very nice and welcomed me home. Just a few questions what i was doing in Germany and that was it. Very easy and great experience.

I traveled with an expired GC and extension Letter. (just as explained on your extension Letter)

Are they possibly updating cases? or is the server down for maintenance? My  Case Number doesn't work anymore since today.

Anyone receive their biometric appointment letter for receipt number starting with LIN?

Still waiting, could be anytime soon, could take forever, sometimes they do not need another biometrics.

Waiting to hear from my lawyer. Meantime need some suggestions, please. I am freaking out

 

So, my lawyer missed providing additional information in Page 11 for my previous residential address. After discussing with the lawyer, she said she would send an amendment to my petition providing the missing details.

 

Today, i got a rejection notice mail from USCIS along with the amended documents(submitted by my lawyer) and it has receipt number starting with EAC mentioning, the payment amount is incorrect, or has not been provided. My original petition has the receipt number starting with LIN.

 

Edit: My receipt number starting with LIN has status as "Case was received".

 

Question: Has anyone experienced this? Is there a fee to be submitted if an amendment is sent to the original petition? 

Your check that was submitted with your application stated what amount?
