Original November 30th filer.

My husband's PR card expired 12/19. We filed in late November and our package was received 11/30 at the lockbox. As you guys have heard, it's taking about 5-6 weeks to have your money withdrawn. As soon as you see that, you can call USCIS and give them your A number and they'll give you your case number to track. NOA's are following shortly after that.

I received notification via email (from the lockbox) on 01/14 that our package was rejected because our payment didn't go through. After doing some research (calling the bank, reviewing our forms), it appears that USCIS keyed the card number incorrectly. The bank has no record of them ever attempting a charge to my account. USCIS stated that even if it's their error, we have to refile.

Since my husband's application is now late and filing past the 90 day window, we had to submit the reason for the delay.

I had my bank write a letter attesting that there was no charge attempted to my card, verifying my card number, and that there were sufficient funds in my account on the day they stated they tried to charge my card. I submitted that along with a copy of our original package, and the email from the lockbox (which stated we didn't need to wait on the return package to refile).

We mailed our package 01/20 and it was received 01/22. We received our returned package on 01/22.

This has really been a mess, as now we're filing late and my husband has been driving with an expired license (really no choice because he has to work).

We have a call in to tier 2 with USCIS to request an expedite due to USCIS error. My husband and I have had such a long road- feel free to read about our journey! We are blessed to have come this far with God and ourselves, without the use of an attorney! The positive side is that I've become pretty knowledgeable of USCIS and immigration lol

(K1 visa denial, an approved waiver of Inadmissibility that was approved on an expedite, another K1 visa denial despite having an approved waiver, before refiling our K1 and finally being approved)!

Here's to the wait!!

Hi all, I guess I will be Jan 2021. Our window opened up early Nov but with working from home during a pandemic with our 3 year old, it's been hectic. Sent off our docs with UPS Thursday but it won't arrive till Friday. My husband's green card expires 1/26. Should of done it sooner especially now that I see there are quite a few delays but hopeful all will go well. I won't be a nervous wreck as I was during the CR1 process because we are now together as a family but still hoping it won't be a long process.. Good luck to everyone

Hopping over from the November group real quick. Looks like they're processing payments as late as November 30th, so hopefully they'll start December any day now.

Howdy!

I married my wife (U.S. Citizen) and our earliest filing date was Jan 8, 2021. Expiry Date is April 8, 2021.

We sent the following information via overnight UPS to the Phoenix LockBox location on Jan 9, 2021 (Saturday). Scheduled delivery is Jan 12, 2021 (Tuesday).

Petition Cover Letter contained the following table of information/evidence. I put numbered tabs between the sections to make it easier to find the information as the packet was about an inch thick.

To head off some questions
0. We used a USPS money order for the check.
1. The documents were not redacted - account numbers, amounts, etc. were visiable
2. tax form for husband - IRS had sent back the originally submitted 2019 return for an issue with the signature. I refiled. I wrote the certified mail number and return receipt number on the resubmission 1040 and provided a copy of the certified mailing label and return receipt label showing the Department of Treasury Address.
3. Wife's electronic filing - we did not have any confirmation emails or the like , so i did not include them.
4. We file as "MARRIED - FILING SEPARATELY" and have each others name and ssh listed on the 1040s.
5. The insurance cards for both vehicle has both names.
6. we are each others beneficiaries for ad&d, life insurance and 401ks.
7. the affidavits were from one family member, the only live family member of my wife, and then 3 friend/friend couples that have known us for some time.
8. We had a bunch of travel and printed the airline reservation, hotel reservation and put the associated pictures with the itineraries so that it could be grouped.
9. We bought a house about a year after getting the green card and moved across the country. Both names are on the deed and mortgage.
10. Vehicles are titled in each person's name respectively. not jointly titled.
11. In the cover letter, we identified that my wife changed her name from madden name to married name. We included her passport with her married name as evidence of the name change.

fingers crossed we won't need an interview.

MsKayC reacted to junkmart in SSN after ITIN March 5, 2019

Just got my ITIN in the mail today. On the back it states "When you receive your SSN, please send us a copy of this notice, along with a copy of your Social Security Card, so that we can update our records. Send these documents to the address listed at the top of this notice." I guess it's not required, but it can't hurt to follow their guidance.
