what documents are required from USC spouse ? lIke they check US passport of spouse ?

Hi Sorry for the delay

Bring everything and anything that proves you are a couple and living together etc Bills, Bank Statements, Insurance policies etc

they would have liked to have original documents and ones that go back 6-12 months so that shows you have been and still are together.

they made a point of asking me for my tax return (i file seperately so didn't think it was of interest to them) but it would again show that i was "married" but filing on my own but it would my spouse name and ssn etc on it.

We also brought more recent photos and they kept some.

hope this helps and best wishes.

Hi all quick update had ROC interview today. went well and was successful. 
 

some advice: 

Don’t assume the papers you sent with original petition will be with the officer.

Have an original and a copy of everything. 

best wishes

Got my i-551 stamp today. FYI it is a literal stamp on your passport, not like a printed visa. From entering the building to getting my passport stamped to getting out, took 40 minutes total. They are also following COVID precautions & protocols. At least that was relatively swift and efficient.

 

(Side note: A bit disappointed though they couldn't just mail those with overdue applications a temporary card/letter in the mail so we wouldn't have to waste our time traveling to said office...) 

 

Anyway, the 2 people I spoke to kept hinting that it's likely that my i-751 and N-400 interview will be done at the same time... looks like that is the trend nowadays FYI...

Hi can I ask you what steps you took to get the appointment? Who you called? What did you ask for? 
 

I called and explained my situation and they said someone would call back within 7 days but nothing yet! Agent was quite rude also 

Hi folks I’m in the same boat as I travel a lot out of the US. Last week on my return to the US I was brought to secondary inspection as they wouldn’t agree that the extension letter was in still valid. (They couldn’t count 18 months lol) 

someone mentioned making an appointment with the local USCIS office. Can you let me know how to do that? Is there a website? I would like to do this ASAP 

thank you 

Hi folks, I am just checking in to see if anyone else has any updates with cases that were being processed at the National Benefits Centre?

We originally filed in May 2019. Case status was at "ready for interview" all last year. 

Heard nothing for months and finally started calling in March 2020. The said it was outside of normal processing time and they would raise a query. 

Case status updated to reflect our April 2020 call to them and the status date just changed to say "as per 13th April...... ready for interview etc"

I need some positive news at this stage!!!

Thanks and please keep well

Hola Francisco!  We were in Jalisco, BSC & BNC between 4-5 weeks, return processed walk-thru entry through the San Ysidro POE. Absolutely NO problem with presenting photocopy of the I-797 Notice of Extension letter and his Mexican passport.e to process on a Saturday afternoon with the waiting in line was 25-30 minutes total.  Absolutely no hassle or drama.  Go and enjoy Mexico!   

Hello just to be safe it might be good to have your original letter with you. I fly for work and every time i come back into country have no problem but two of the agents said I need to have the original letter rather than a photocopy. Just to be safe I would have it with you. 
 

the  original is getting loads of wear and tear lol

USCIS gives a memorandum indicating that interview may be waived when meeting certain condition. Now my question is have you had interview when you initially obtained CR1 status? 

No, the only interview I did was at the embassy in Dublin when I got approved for my visa. I did not do any interview for the original Perm. Resident Card.

What's your service center and when did you file?

 

Good morning my receipt number starts with MSC and I filed in May. 

thanks for the reply,  but it does say that since Dec anyone who hasn't already been interviewed by USCIS will now have to be interviewed? or am i reading it wrong? Have you been interviewed by USCIS before? I'll keep you updated. This entire process is frustrating!

Hello lovely people!

just a quick update for you. I checked the uscis website yesterday and they said an interview is being arranged. This scared me a little BUT then i read that since December 2018 interviews for this process are now the norm so I'm looking forward to receiving a date and time etc! 

Just to update you. Had interview today and was approved.

Please ensure to have your documents ready (photocopies etc) and also make sure you have the photo as per requirements (they need to be 2inch x 2inch).

Best of luck to you all and thanks for the information on this forum!

Scan date 3rd March 2017

CC May 5th

Interview assigned May 11th

Interview date June 19th, Dublin, Ireland

Just checking in.

CC Date 5th MAY

Received an email that contained a checklist item that I can bring to interview. 

Awaiting Interview Date.

hello Got email from NVC overnight which included checklist requirement. It's basically a box under Part 4 of I864 that we either left blank or wrote in wrong number. Asks for your household size and relates to tax returns. Email says I can bring new form to the interview. Just waiting now on them to inform me of that step!

He didn't say what. I asked but he said it was minor and not to worry. Just made a point of saying it will not delay things and I could probably  bring it along to the Embassy. I'll update you when i get the email!

Hi Folks

Got through after 34 mins on hold ;-)

Case complete 5th May. One checklist item to be fixed but it will not affect the processing/scheduling of interview date and i should expect to receive email confirmation of the case complete within a week of the 5th. 

Thanks for your help and @jbmg for your excellent cheat sheet!

Tried to call now. But cannot get through.... i think their line is full!

Thanks! I am almost too frightened to call in case it's not true!

Apologies if this has already been asked/answered.

Our scan date is 3rd March.

Up until the weekend when I would log in to https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx and enter info it would show details of both the petitioner and applicant (me). Now it just shows me (status paid and complete) there is no now mention of my petitioners civil/financial documents.

Also

When i log into the other CEAC website to check the status the message has changed from "submit documents" to AT NVC and has the following text: Please follow the instructions you received from the National Visa Center (NVC) that list the six steps you must take before NVC can schedule your visa interview appointment. This includes submitting to NVC various fees, forms and documents. Once NVC has received all the required items, they will let you know if anything is missing or incomplete. You can also find these instructions online at http://nvc.state.gov (English) and http://nvc.state.gov/espanol (Spanish). You will find contact information for NVC at http://nvc.state.gov/ask. 

Does this mean our case is complete? If so, how long until we get email confirmation of this? 

Or what else does it mean? There are no clear pointers of information on the website. Thank you. 

Hello

We sent off supporting documents on 2nd March and NVC got them (told this when I made a call to them) on 3rd March. Have not received anything from them to confirm receipt so would recommend people call. 

Customer Service agent said they are taking up to 11 weeks to process documents. Hopefully this will be sooner. 

Hello PD 21st July 2016 in Nebraska was approved today!  Thank the stars! Best wishes to you all.
