    I didn’t.  I didn’t for the I-485 for AOS and that seemed ok. We left all those same pages blank too. I didn’t write the A# on every page either.

    My wife's I-751 package is complete and ready to mail via USPS Priority Mail tomorrow.
     
    We both signed & dated the I-751
    I wrote & signed a cover letter per the VJ guide
    I have written a check for $680 & attached it to the I-751 (U.S. Department of Homeland Security)
    I have addressed it to the Dallas, TX PO Box
    I included about 19 different supporting items including ALL joint checking account statements since my wife arrived....and much more.
    I placed a single metal document clip at the top

     
    I have looked the entire package over 3 times......

    Just FYI- a conditional GC is a special kind of GC. Generally your status is your status until taken by an immigration judge- however the conditional GC has special rules. One of which was mentioned- failing to file ROC means (to USCIS) that you no longer want your status and failure to file ROC is taken as you surrendering your status. Now nothing is quick or automatic with USCIS; so for those that fail to file- nothing happens the first day, nothing happens the second day. Nothing will happen for a long time on average, but at some point USCIS will forward your file to a judge who will 'confirm' you didnt file and rule that your not filing means you dont want the status and officially strip it from you. The delay in this happening is why people are able to file late (sometimes even up to a year late) and still be OK.
     
    In order to show you have status still when your conditional GC expires you need the expired card + the NOA. Everyone gets a NOA- even those that file a G-1145. Recently there has been a lot of petitions filed- so the wait time for the NOA can take up to 60 days to receive. Some people never get one and have to ask for a copy. Hopefully the OPs NOA comes in a timely fashion.
     
    The wife will not be allowed to board the plane with out her expired GC and NOA extension letter. Embassies do NOT give 551 stamps, and she can not get a boarding foil unless she shows they proof of her status being extended (copy of the NOA + expired GC). If she has both those documents she does not need a boarding foil. A boarding foil is for someone who lost their documents. its a one time use only thing. So forget about going to the Embassy. They can not help her with any of this.
     
    Her options at this point is to return home before her card expires, or remain overseas after the card expires but then she can not return home until the NOA arrives (will be mailed to US address) and then someone sends/brings her a copy of the NOA. She also needs to have someone watching the US mail for the biometrics notice. If she is still overseas when the biometrics appt comes it will have to try to be rescheduled. There is no guarantee they will reschedule or how long it could take to get biometrics rescheduled. Biometrics must be done in the US. Typically biometrics notices are sent between 30-120 days after filing and give you at least 2 weeks notice in advance of when the appointment is.
     
    Since the ROC packet sent was very minimal it is most likely an RFE will be issued at some point. RFEs are generally not issued until someone actually goes through the packet and sees the evidence is lacking or needs explanation. There is plenty of time to gather up more evidence for ROC. OP- read through the ROC forum and see what other people have submitted. You probably have more things you can add. At the very least you can include a statement of your financial situation and how she is a homemaker with no income. 
     
    The way the ROC process works is you send in your packet, the mail room processes it and a NOA is issued. Then it sits for a very long time. When an officer gets to it and actually looks at the contents they will issue a RFE if needed. If they are not satisfied with the RFE response they will schedule you for an interview. If they are not satisfied at the interview you will get a NOID (notice intent to deny). You may also get a second interview. It will then go to the immigration judge. Point is there are many many chances to submit evidence and explain things. 
     
    Do NOT send unsolicited mail. There is no guarantee it will make it to your file. Send stuff if you want but do not be surprised if it doesnt make it to your file. So keep copies of what you send if you do decide to send anything, but honestly you are better off waiting for the RFE. 
     
    RE black ink/blue ink- USCIS uses scanners. Blue ink sometimes doesnt scan. Very few people though get their forms rejected for this. It can happen but usually ink color is a non issue.

    I have been told by an attorney that having a child together is very strong evidence.  Both your names will be listed on the birth certificate so that is good.  You do seem to be missing the marriage certificate which is usually a requirement.  When we did our original GC interview the officer led me to believe that if the evidence at the original interview was strong enough we might not be called back for an interview at the ROC.  When we filed for ROC we did not have any joint financial accounts but we had three years of tax transcripts, a marriage certificate, joint health insurance, and some photos. Oh and my spouse's birth certificate and my GC.  That was it.  We neither received a RFE nor did we get called in for an interview we just got approved (just over a year later).  I think it had also been pointed out that once they get your package, if it is complete, you will get your I-797 with an extension shortly thereafter (mine was issued the very day they received my package).  So provided they get your package and the form is complete and the check is fine (they don't look at the evidence just yet) you will have the extension letter to carry with you shortly.  Or have it sent.
     
    I think the point I am trying to make is that we often hear only the horror stories on here but not the times things went smoothly so I am just sharing my experience which went fairly smoothly.  So take a deep breath and give it a couple of days before freaking out.

    longdistance12345 got a reaction from tysod in NVC Notice of Missing item: Ds- 260 although already submitted   
    I received a Notice of Missing Item" Form Ds- 260. That makes no sense since I submitted it two months ago online. The website still says N/A but they said they received my papers for AOS and IV.
     
    What do I do now? I see other people getting ahead but no information on my case at all. Im afraid to call them because they put my sisters case in supervisory review for 8 months for a small thing when she called.
     
    PD : April 25
     
    NOA2: August 25
     
    Submitted fees by November 20 and also completed DS-260
     
    Sent physical papers by Decemeber 10 2016 and they have received it in a fews days.
     
    Received missing item email on 1/12/2017

    You typed so much that I don't really care about. I know people who came with immigrant visa that couldn't find a job till 10 months later. Well I just need to see his face here and that's all matter for now. It cost me approximately $3000 for each trip I make to see him and I try at least once( have done twice before) each year. Well I will be happy to use that money to adjust status here for him for once. Thanks for your input since this journey is "to each is his/her own".
