I know!! It's crazy. I've sent multiple letter explaining the stamp is a valid document... and they aren't accepting it. I've contacted an attorney... here we go... 

Yup this should be an internal affair thing, they should accept it and do their own background check on it while keep costumer service professional. Id pursue full action

Thank you! 

Good luck to you too

If you dont mind sharing more info about the specifics of your case and if you suspect anything that might have caused this,  im sure it can be of benefits to everyone. 

Did you take any steps after?

I didn't  file N 400 and I had interview I751at march 2018. 

Im sorry to hear, these are the things I hate seeing and hearing about. 

Absolutely unfair to make someone go through all that just to keep their case still sitting around for wtv reason. 

Good luck to you man

The reason they are questioning it is because the expiration date on the stamp was HANDWRITTEN in by the immigration officer... So they're saying "anyone could have written that"... 

So what if anyone could write that? Any document can be faked, including the “hard to produce” gov documents. 

Documents have to be accepted in good faith as true and be used in court of law against you if found to be false. 

Go back to the discrimination part that was posted, its not just for employers. 

This seems like a legitmate descrimination case where the person is having doubt about your character for discriminatory reasons. 

“Prove to me the document that proves your legal status is real” 

“ok here is a USCIS letter we got”

”ok now prove to me this letter is real”

”we cant but we got lucky now we got the 10 year green card”

why would he stop at the 10 year green card? What computer access to  immigration files does he have to know a plastic green card is not fake?

Transferred to NBC from CSC on may 3

No n400 filled 

These ones where N400 was not filed are interesting to me. 

Is there anything in your case that you think might possibly trigger an interview?

like waiver or lived apart or anything?

its entirely possible that you’re part of the random I751 interviews. 

And that is also based on the assumption (pretty strong) that NBC transfers are a prep for local offices (thats what the center is built for) 

According to my account updates, my cass was sent out of CSC May 1st and recieved at NBC may 3rd

I Wanted to open this thread for those who had their cases transferred to NBC so we can localize information about what is happening with these cases. 

If you had your case transferred to NBC, please post here about any new movement that happened after. 

Note: some people had interviews, transfer to NBC then approvals.

Some had approvals, transfer to NBC, then recieved their card. 

I dont think these scenarios where there was MAJOR movement on the case before the NBC transfer follow the same path that dormant cases who were transferred to NBC will follow.

You should get a life and stop looking at VJ lol... I can feel your anxiety but trust me USCIS will just take its time. Go take a walk, do some work, etc. Stop thinking about this. My understanding of why USCIS is so slow is that we have legal status (as long as you have a stamp, pending = green card) so we are lower priority. There are other immigrants in this country who are facing deportation, have serious safety concerns if they go back to their country, or are talents that this country really need to grab right now, etc. Compared to them we are fine... we have legal status and everything, and we are just waiting for the card... 

 

While I don't appreciate being put on a low priority pile, I do understand and agree with USCIS's sense of priority. If you think about it it makes sense... 

 

Anyway I hope you get approved soon. Based on data, I expect your case getting processed in less than 2 weeks. Maybe end of this week or sometime next week. 

We dont want to think abou it, A process that takes 3 months tops taking 18 months. It Doesnt make sense. Let the man be, he is collecting Data and posting. Im sure he knows when to take a walk when he needs to. 

I751 is not low priority when all your documents are expired and you are running around with stamps and pieces of papers etc. it is absolutely not a low priority at all for quality of life.   

I could also start guessing that for many anything in the US is better quality, for some it is not. 

Relationships are never going to be equal for many people when there is a sponsoring of immigration. This is a natural human behavoir. 

There was a case where someone couldnt have a serious heart to heart relationship with his wife about wasting money. Something that can easily develop overtime when trying to deal with relationship that also requires interviews with outsiders like a baby 

Everyone has their path and their lives and their relationships and their ways of thinking. 

At the end of the day. The agency is not doing its job as it should. Let people fill their voids how they want. 

Edit: I just saw your message above that you got approved. THAT IS JUST RICH. telling someone to get a life right after posting you got your card. Telling people to think like you while sitting on the other side of the fence. absolutely rich.

The thing is I have no good reason to reschedule. I don't think "my wife cannot come with me" is a legitimate reason. 

If they need to interview her, won't they just send her a letter later?

 

I would go with her if I can, the thing is she is also worried of ending up sitting in the waiting room for 2 hours needlessly. 

Its ok, we can be honest, we all hope to avoid an interview the second time if we dont have to, the marriage can be a billion % true but no one wants to sit and be questioned with their spouse about everything, risk a misunderstanding causing headaches when it doesnt have to be, its a normal anxiety response that we all would like to avoid if we can. 

The reason I say this is, dont give an excuse to an officer if asked why she isnt here. Tell the truth, you did t recieve a letter saying she needs to come, period.

Excuses like she doesnt want to wait 2 hours needles are not good to be blurt out in important life decisions as these. 

No one is assuming we are sitting around in forums figuring out what people are doing with their cases. 

You are communicating with a gov agency, if they want someone to come, they can mention it in the letter 

Good luck. Everything will turn out great.

I got the same letter at my interview.  I passed all of the sections and was confident about approval.  I know it is heartbreaking but be patient.  My reason was rather unique so I can't exactly comment on WHY you got your letter.  But the officer that interviewed me - I taught his son at the time.  It was a conflict of interest if he were to be the person that approved my petition.  So he explained to me that it was going to go to another officer for review.  

 

Sadly, it took a total of 2 years, numerous info pass appointments, many more service requests and a letter to a senator to finally get my oath ceremony.  It was explained to me that offices that are busy often have junior officers review petitions and make recommendations for senior officers but they themselves do not have the authority to approve.  So it goes to another senior officer for review.  If there is really nothing in your background to make you worry about a denial, then I am sure it is just that. 

 

My advice is to stay on top of it.  You won't really be able to get much traction until 90 days have passed (hopefully it won't take that long) but after 90 days then start with a service request, speak to a tier 2, info pass appointments, etc.  

 

Good luck 

It took 2 years from the interview to the oath ceremony??

Hello team, 

I have moved to US in March 2018 and got 10 years green card with Category IR-1 as my wife is US Citzen. Now I want to ask following question:

1- With IR-1 green card should I have to remove any conditions or not?

2-With IR-1 green card can I go back to my home country and have to come back within one year?

3- My wife is US Citizen, I can apply for Naturalization after three years?

Please reply to all above questions.

When you recieved your 10 year green card, were you married for more than 2 years? This is the question that answers if you need to file for ROC or not. 

In very rare cases, USCIS makes a mistake and issues a 10 year green card for marriages younger than 2 years. Just make sure you’re not in this rare case and you should be good to go.

So me and my husband were married in my country. I came to the usa In May 2017. We only live together until November 2017. We had so many problems in the marriage. He wanted to work things out, but I stop talking to my spouse. I wouldn't respond to any of the messages he would send. He has been trying to located me to file for a divorce. However I moved to another state without telling him. My two year conditional green card will expire in a few months. My questions is if my spouse divorce me will i have a hard time trying to stay in the USA? I no we have to show proof that we were in a bona fide marriage but the problems is, we have no joint accounts together, or anything together. What will happened? Has anyone ever been denied and sen r back to there home country?

Look no one knows what USCIS threatshold for removal is, and most importantly no one knows the threashold of what a judge is (judges dont play with threasholds, they have to make a judgment based on facts without a reasonable doubt)

If you have zero evidence, you are going to need a competent lawyer thats specializes in writing, you will need to write letters on letters explaining everything that happened in your journey, why you left him? Did you have money issues that side tracked you from getting a divorce etc etc. you need to be truthful about what happened. If they cross the info and they find a lie then your immigration journey is over (still not quit as simple as GOTCHA)

but now, you cant file the I751 jointly or with a waiver.

Well technically you can file in both but You need to clear up the marriage first. If you file jointly, you need to be in contact with your husband and he needs to join you if you get an interview. 

If you file a joint waiver, you need to file for divorce and have the divorce finalized with a decree asap. 

Guys, imagine lawyers answered like most of you did? They would lose everyone too. 

Be neutral, just because something didnt add up yet, dont start throwing around accusations of sham marriage, marriage didnt mean much to you etc

ask questions and see how they answer, could be a really true but confusing situation, could be language barrier, so many love to jump the gun here quick and these people run away where it would have been beneficial for everyone including those who will frequent this forum in the future to know how a “confusing” “not normal” case ends up and why?   

Yesterday, I was reading a thread of a highly respected memeber with so many upvotes who gave so many of his opinions and accusations about a person’s situation including life changing and FALSE info. 

He told a memeber that once your I751 is denied, you are out of status, this is not true at all and he could have ruined the person’s life up to suicide with giving him such wrong info  

Always include thats its your opinion when answering a question and mainly answer or brainstorm with the group, stop accusing people out of your personal frustration, there is a whole gov agency that takes care of that, its not your job to guess whats a sham without someone’s file infront of you and the credentials to adjust

Arrived on a two year conditional green card May 2016. Separated since September 2016. We have been married for 3 years. We don't have any documents such as pictures, bank statements or tax return. I moved to another state. We constantly argued about me sending money back home to help my family and I didn't help with our own household. The police had to be called out twice and on both times they told us we needed to see a marriage council.  I have read that you have to show your marriage is bona fide in order to remove your green card condition. 

So the 2 years you guys were separated, do you have proof of trying to work it out? Marriage counseling, communication, plans on how you guys are planning to proceed even if just tentative?

hello everyone!

I am gathering the documents for I751 application. 

We have put my in law residence in most of our documents, including my drivers license. We have rented ever since and we always would put my in laws address so we receive important documents in a safe location since we have moved a lot. Now I am dealing with copy of leases that state i have lived in X location which I have, but the Drivers license and car insurance (we are in the same plan with my in laws, meaning "we live with them" according to car insurance) says we live in Y location. What do I do? Also in the car insurance and electricity bill its only my husband, also retirement plans its him only. is this bad? 

Expect questions and tell the person the truth, details of what happened, since its not a made up story and actually is the truth, you got nothing to worry about. 

Send what you have, write a letter explaining the situation, and expect and RFE so you can explain in person.

Well if you use the case app . You ll get to see what I m talking about and I didn’t mention any of the case transferred to

NBC getting approval . I have contacted my senator and I ll see the outcome . We will have to go with CSC cos nbc got no processing time . But if you follow other pples thread most pple gets approval 4weeks to about 6weeks after transfer to NBC. I forgot the month I checked and most cases got approved weeks after being transferred to NBC . Let’s wish ourselves luck . God bless the United State and make our dreams come true . 

4-6 weeks approvals would be nice. 🙏🏻

So many cases got approved yesterday and today . Let’s see what happen next week to us that got our files transferred to NBC. 17months gone already and no update from Uscis . 

Where do you see todays approvals?

I have yet to see anyone with an NBC transfer get approved, from nov, dec or jan,  hope is all we have but isnt it wishful thinking to assume our cases are still in queue?

All the info we have points to NBC filers getting a combo with their N400 or just a simple I751 interview if no N400 filed. 

If our files are at NBC, why are we even looking at CSC processing time anymore?

Sorry, what is NOA?

The filing date. 

Looking at your case number im guessing Nov 30th or Dec 1st?

also did you apply for citizenship and was the transfer to NBC before your approval?

Hi,

 

I have the same situation. But my case is little different. I filed a divorce within 2 years of conditional green card and filed i-751 in Dec-2016. My case was in VSC and received RFE in Jan-18. Replied back in Feb-18. Now I received notice saying that my case is moved to NBC at Lee's Summit, MO in April-28. Since then no update from USCIS. If I check online, it says my case has been moved to local office. Would anyone help me to understand how things are working with i-751 related to location and time?

No one knows for sure whats happening with all these transfers. People have theories. 

But like most of us waiting is the answer (unless you are out of processing time since you said you applied to VSC)

by the way : no one of you decided to go up and down in the numbers near yours to see what it said on the USCIS page?

I do all the time. Im an NBC transfer and the two cases around me are stuck on march 5th glitch. 

While there are some approvals, not a lot approvals on my NOA day, not a lot NBC transfers as well. Mainly late feb early march glitch. 

Whats interesting is my NOA “working day” only goes up to 499 cases. Does that mean there was only 499 application on that day?
