Is your girl from Santo domingo or another province! I'm asking because I'm the beneficiary(Dominican) and both petitioner are from Illinois! hihiih!!! Good luck!

He (beneficiary) is from Santo Domingo (La Calleta). He was born in Las Salinas.

You're an hour and a half from the Chicago suburbs.

I mean I get it that people are upset when waiting so long, who wouldnt be??? BUT its extremely just as un empathetic and selfish to tell people they cant be happy or hopeful for themselves just because you havent gotten your approval.

So I cant share If  I get an approval today and be happy about it because people in June are waiting???? Yeah right. That IS NOT what Visa Journey is meant for. It is meant for ALL of us. #rantover

Respectfully, we've had this conversation already. We want to stay positive and uplift one another. We are eager to hear of the happiness of receiving approvals. We also should be sensitive and supportive of those still waiting.

This forum is meant for ALL of us....yes. Let's be positive....

Not so fast.  I printed my pictures from the app freeprints and they date the back of your pictures.  Not sure if they look at that or take that into consideration but all of my pictures had date stamps on the back of them 

I did the same and explained that on the cover letter for section of everything else sent as 'evidence of meeting within 2 yrs'.

@NaesCongratulations!!! You have been such a blessing to others and God has finally granted your well deserved blessing.

So happy for you!!! Thank you for your continuous support.

Thank you so much @Quiata

Should we write a letter stating the update AND/OR send the I129F again?
 

 

Just send a letter requesting the update.

I'd like to mail a letter to the USCIS today. Would someone please post a picture of the USCIS address in California? It can be found on the bottom of the NOA1.

@vinnie&andy I just spoke with USCIS. I was advised to mail a signed letter to the USCIS office in which your case resides. The address can be found at the bottom of the NOA1. Simply state the update needed.

Hello fellow November filers....I am wondering if I need to call and update USCIS about the following:

1. My fiancé (beneficiary in the Dominican Republic) has two last names - - father's last name followed by the mother's last name  (surnames). I submitted the petition only using one     name...the father's. Should I contact USCIS to add the second name?

2. My fiancé (beneficiary) has changed employers - - do I need to update by calling USCIS?

3. I realized that I stated he worked at a job...with an end date in the future. I typed Dec 2017 on a application filed Nov 2017...instead of Dec 2016.

Any feedback would be appreciated. I want avoid an rfe.

Has anyone else only written one last name when the person has two?

 

Thank you so much!

I wrote his father's last name only, but am interested in hearing what other folks did…..

I used just that name because all children would bear that name…seemed like that was more like the "Family" name.

I look forward to more responses.

what do you mean? i don't understand... well i thought we needed the w2s, tax returns, and tax transcripts all from post 3 years. so 2015, 2016, and 2017 tax year correct

1 minute ago, Jesus said:

Tax return transcripts, though both were available the account transcripts were also available to download. When i went on the website it said request by mail or online.I chose the online version, it ask several security questions to set an account and after that all of my tax returns showed up with transcripts or account transcripts available.

I used the online method and printed the wage transcript. They want to know if your income/wages pass the poverty threshold. I am not self-employed and will have other documents as well.

thank you Jason! actually i was able to download it from their website and you can print it. It is electronic 

Did you request the Tax Return transcript or the Tax Account Transcript?

They may have recd it Nov 2nd but the date will be when the check has been actually cashed and paid and therefore the 6th when they dated your notice

Thank you for confirming my understanding is in alignment with the process

4-5 days difference between acceptance and the Nov 6th date on the hard copy is hardly worth being concerned about. Technically NOA1 date would be November 6th, the official date the accepted the petition; but again, 4-5 days isn't worth even being worried about.

Thank you. You are absolutely right. There is nothing to worry about.

I've been using the 6th as my NOA1 date for tracking purposes

What is considered the NOA1 date?

The glossary states -

I mailed my petition Nov 1st, it was received at the lockbox Nov 2nd (this is the date stated on the USCIS case tracker). The petition was transferred to California. I received the email and text on Nov 7th and the actual hardcopy of the NOA1 has a date of Nov 6th.

Is my NOA1 date Nov 6th or Nov 2nd?

I've read the forum throughout the day, everyday...but still not able to confirm my correct NOA1 date.

Please lend your thoughts.
