    Unrestricted SS card and valid state ID is sufficient for I-9 purposes.
    It is not up to the employer to dictate which documents are presented from the I-9 list, and doing so can be considered discrimination. 

    Thank you for this info! That’s really helpful. But how do you get a unrestricted Social Security card? My one is before I got my conditional GC. Thanks again for this great info, it will be very helpful should my extension expire as well 💯

    was your case trasnsferred? you can check by signing up on the new website

    I don’t see anything on the new website besides ‘we received your case’ status. That’s why I called to see if there were any updates, but he was kept telling me if my case moved to a local office I would be the first person to know. When I said ‘but how?’, lol, he said they would let me know via mail. He was really pissed, so I didn’t ask him any more questions.

     

    For SRC, between Apr 21 and today, I see they approved cases from late April, May, June, July, Aug, and started approving Sep cases now. In this rate hopefully they would clear Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec in next 15 days — may be it’s too much wishful thinking, we will see 🤞

    My case status just got updated.  I guess they took my fingerprints from the I-485 files since the biometrics were canceled due to COVID-19.

    thanks for the update. I think they might have been starting to look at Nov cases now, I see a lot of approval for Sep cases already in this forum. 

     

    I called them yesterday to see if my cases moved to a local office, the first associate transferred me to the next level or second level associate, the second associate was really pissed that I called bcz it was not 18 months yet 😇

     

    they have been moving our Texas Service Center(SRC) cases to local offices for faster processing, so I just wanted to check lol 


    My I-751 dates:

    Received date: 11/20/2019

    Notice date: 11/25/2019

     

    Bio metric taken on 01/24

     

    Good luck everyone! Hopefully the Nov cases will also get approved before the offices open in June.

    Income is not a factor in Removal of Conditions.  I would include all tax forms since marriage.

    Hi @Lucky Cat — I mistakenly didn’t submit tax transcript for the only year(2016) I sent TX documents(sent only our joint 1040 for federal and tax)with ROC that we filled together. Next year we filled for tax extension, but got separated before Oct tax filling, then we filled separately — so I didn’t submit anything for that year(2017) and the following year(2018) which I filled separately on my own. 
     

    To show financial tie, I did submit all of our two joint checking accounts’ statements (we added each other on our personal accounts) for about 2 years we were married. I was trying some day trading, so there was frequent transfer of a few thousands every month between our accounts. Showed the wedding reception payments we made, which unfortunately never happened, so we lost some deposit for that — I submitted the receipt, highlighted bank statements and all for that transaction. 

     

    There were also receipts(almost every week for about the entire duration of our marriage) from our marriage counselors and a letter from one of them who met with us the majority of those sessions.

     

    sent photos from almost weekly MLB and NHL games that we went in Saint Louise, our travels to multiple cities in the States, a few visits to Canada, and a cruise trip in Europe. Electricity bills, rent, rental agreement(we paid double rent to stay together for the first six months, bcz condo land lord wouldn’t let her break the lease and wouldn’t allow my dogs.. so much drama, but I’m stating this to explain that we had to pay a price to live together. I submitted letters, documents and highlighted bank transactions to show them the details regarding that)

     

    I just totally forgot to send the tax transcript for 2016. Im hoping for ROC they don’t ask for more documents, or summon me for another interview. 


    but for AOS we submitted both of our tax transcripts for the previous three years(2013, 2014, 2015). 

     

    I’m asking if Tax Transcript or documents necessary at all since it seemed to me this is primarily to show financial ties, and I have submitted many other documents for that also.

    How long were you married for and how long were you married for after you received your conditional? 

    Requested moderators to remove my last post, didn’t intend on posting with that emoji 😇
     

    Married for two years, got GC shortly after our first anniversary. So, one year of conditional GC was after divorce. You?

     

    Also, would you please share when did you get your bio metrics done? Follow us my I-751 timeline so far: 

     

    ROC application received date: 11/20/2019

    Notice date: 11/25/2019

     

    Bio metric (photo/fingerprint): 01/24/2020 in Austin, TX

     

    USCIS status: Case Was Received

    On November 20, 2019, we received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number

    Thank you

     

    I would also like to add that before interview we had to wait about 30 mins before being called. The Immigration Officer apologized for keeping us waiting as she said "They put you in wrong section, I was looking for you for a while". My understanding of this is that for people whose cases are pretty straight forward, they are kept in ?different section/?subset of interviewees and the interview is just a formality. Again, this is just my interpretation. Could be wrong.

    @just_passing_by2 hi, was it your only interview or you had another interview before receiving the conditional green card?

    Just curious for the Texas Service Center....Who already got interview dates for their case? (Please tell me which date you received your NOA1) I know my wife still got a long way to go since she filed back in May 2019. 

     

     

    Thanks everyone and good luck!

    @yutekao  hey there! Any update on your case? I saw on May 2019 and July 2019 fillers threads that they are getting approved. But it seemed they were all from Vermont service center

    Congratulations! I am a divorce waiver as well for SRC,  filed November 2019. Can you tell me what you sent? You did not have RFE or interview, correct? Thanks!

    @PolarPear  same here, Nov 2019 filling in divorce waiver. I also sent about the same docs as AftM89. Hopefully since we had an interview already, there wouldn’t be another interview 

  9. Our AOS interview will be at St Louis office, which is the slowest in the country. we probably have to wait about a year for our interview. Since we just got married in October, 2016, we needed some time anyway to prepare documents to show our was a bonafide marriage. 

     

    Can anyone please help us with this: 

     

    My wife and I don't have joint accounts yet, we will add each other in our accounts this month. My wife has her mother as a joint account holder in her bank accounts, do we need to remove her mother from the bank account or it's a non issue? 

     

  10. I will be looking at you... My dates are exactly the same as yours... No RFE yet... No biometrics mail yet.

    At trackitt I saw a few others with exact same date as ours. Our check was cashed on Dec 7th, I haven't seen anyone later than us getting Biometric appointment. The earliest date(check cashed on) that got biometric appointment I saw there is Nov 28th. I am hoping we should get that by Saturday this week or maybe early next week. It's already more than 15 days, I saw the trend is ppl get biometric appointment between 10-14 days.

    We will follow your progress as well, good luck!!

  11. Thank you. This explains it! I did half and half the first time.

    Downloaded it in the Adobe Reader and its all in type now!

    I think we both have the same priority date, December 7th. Our package was received at the Chicago office on November 21st and check was cashed on Dec 7th. We never received email or text, but received four letters on Dec 13th

    We didn't send our W2, we didn't understand what we needed to send and mistakenly only sent 1040 that we had from turbo tax.

    But we did send along with both of ours 1040, some of our pay stubs, I sent four paystubs for my last two months, wife sent four paystubs but those only covered one month as she gets paid every week. Those paystubs do mention our year to date income.

    We also sent her savings account statement. Both my wife and I earn in six digits, she is a pharmacist, I'm an engineer, it will be sad to get RFE for this overlook.

    Fortunately we didn't receive any RFE mail yet. Our I-485 USCIS case status is still "Fingerprint Fee Was Received", it states "On December 5, 2016, we accepted the fingerprint fee for your I-485,...", but have not received biometric appointment letter yet.

    I am hoping we would not receive any RFE for this, someone stated that sometime they just let us know to bring the necessary docs with us at the AOS interview. We will see.

    Regardless, we are hopeing for the best and preparing for the worse. We ordered and received our last four years of IRS transcripts just in case we get a RFE, we don't want one more week to wait to reply, and most likely we will need them anyway during the interview.

    Good luck with your application, it's sad that it might delay your application, hope they would process your application as soon as they receive your documents.

  12. I think I just found an answer, it seems an ACH transfer works more like a personal check and a wire transfer works more like a debit card payment:

    http://www.finance.umich.edu/node/2149

    What is the difference between a wire and an ACH?

    A wire is a real-time method of transferring immediate funds and supporting information between two financial institutions and is relatively expensive to use. An ACH is similar to a wire transfer only it uses a batch-process. Transactions received by the bank are processed in batches and funds are not available in the beneficiary account until the next business day. ACH transfers are less expensive than wire transfers.
