Thanks for providing such a detail descriptions of your case. I have a quick question. It said debt evidence, but how would those doc's visits be included as debt evidence? 

Did you mean that the bill include both ex-spouse and your name? If so, even Pet's vet bill? Or rather the pet's bill show up both of your name? 

Correct. All Dr, dentists, and eye Dr bills had both names. Notably, my bills specifically showed the ex spouse as "responsible party" whenever I used his insurance and vice versa. 

About the vet bills, the pets were billed under the same account which listed both names with each receipt and with every prescription or treatment as well. We had a very sick dog and so I had a lot of these which I sent. I probably needed only one but like I said, I was OCD about everything hahahaha

Alright guys, it's my turn now. I got a notification yesterday that my card is in production which means I'm finally approved and freeeeeee like a bird. It still hasn't sunk in yet that my ROC is finally over, and it probably won't until I have that beautiful green plastic in my arms. Wanted to share with all of you my experience, albeit in retrospect, a very smooth experience for a not so clean-cut case. I filed with a divorce waiver, and I cannot say I only had the bare minimum of evidence because I included the most I could in my evidence, tried to cover all my bases, and tried to prepared for all possible scenarios.  My file was about 300 pages long, I was a bit OCD with the file contents and organization. Of course, not all my evidence was perfect, I had certain gaps. I'm sharing a list of my document evidences below for anyone interested. This forum was of amazing help while I was assembling my application and moral support during that awful waiting limbo. So, I will stick around for a while and try to give back to the community. Anyway, here's some details:

12/18/2018   -   I-751 Status change to: New Card Is Being Produced 🎆🎉🎊🎇

For whomever is interested in how I did my case or needs help/advice, here are all the gory details. Otherwise, stop here, cause the info is loooong.

My Evidence:

    All of this evidence were color copies of originals (unless originals were required), all evidence listed both our names or same address or same account # (any kind of info proving it's joint) 

     Sent with I-751:

• Copies of all IDs, immigration docs(GC, passport, SS, DL, ex's DL, I-94, old visas, etc)
• Marriage evidence (marriage cert, photos)
• Divorce evidence (divorce cert, ex's affidavit, marriage counseling docs: letter from counselor, billing receipts, treatment plan)
• Taxes and W2s (2 years)
• 3 affidavits (Ex's mother, Ex's best friend, my best friend)
• Financial evidence (checking, savings, CD, credit cards)
• Debt evidence (bills: Dr.'s visit, dentist's, eye Dr, pets' vet)
• Insurances (health, ex's health, vision, ex's vision, dental, prescription program, life, 401k, auto)
• Address evidence (2 leases, bills: water, electric, gas, waste, internet, mobile; post office change of address docs)
• Memberships (gym, zoo, park, Sam's Club, employee club) 
• Other (pet adoption docs, pets' vet records, post-surgery patient release doc, trips evidence: plane tickets, hotel booking, attractions tickets; big purchases receipts, receipts of bday & christmas gift to each other, letters & mail, emergency contact docs, ex's pay stub listing marital status as married, tickets to concerts/events)

       What I shouldn't have done: I shouldn't have included the ex's affidavit cause I later learned that this effectively gives USCIS permission to contact him  whereas if I hadn't done that, they couldn't contact him. Which depending on how good of terms you are with the ex, it could potentially harm you. In my case, USCIS never contacted him (phw!)

      What gaps I had in evidence: children (thank god we didn't have any), properties (no house, we bought cars before getting married, didn't get any loans cause he had really bad credit and always wasted any money we had so we were constantly broke), stuff from before marriage except pictures, Last Will, trust, power of attorney, texts emails and FB stuff (I do have these but didn't send them). Other evidence I could have easily gotten but never thought of it during the marriage: joint loan applications (even if denied), renter's insurance, check carbon copies showing joint expenses, joint Netflix, Amazon, Walgreens accounts.

      Evidence I had in case of emergency: (All of this evidence I saved it for an emergency, I didn't send it with my I-751 cause some of it is too explicit or could potentially make me look childish and immature for saving it. But I had it prepared in case of an RFE or interview)

• I didn't send evidence of the reasons for divorce. But I saved everything that proves he cheated on me multiple times with different girls, money he spent on them, dating app profiles he had, explicit texts/emails/photos of him cheating. Also, evidence of how quickly I moved out (overnight separation) cause he was having his latest new gf stay the night at the house; luckily the landlord let me get out of the lease early.
• Police report: I called 911 the night we split cause he was trying to break in after he left the house to be with his new gf. I refused to let him in the house by myself, I did not file a report or complaint cause he left after he realized he couldn't break the door and he saw the cops coming, but the police wrote a report that they came to the house to check if I was ok.
• Financial issues caused by him: he had 6 different jobs in 2 years, got fired twice and quit 3 times, was occasionally unemployed and not contributing financially, would spend all the money, bank accounts would often overdraft, some bills were overdue and sent to collections, he was several months late in child support payments (to his kid from his previous marriage in a different state, he lost custody and could only visit once a month with supervision and not overnight). Letters from collection agencies I got after divorce looking for him cause he had delinquent balances.
• Dr. visits and blood test documents: I got myself tested just in case. Luckily all came back negative.
• Therapy sessions documents after divorce.
• 2 years worth of call records/texts/messages/emails/whatsapp/fb posts sent to each other and his family members.

Any questions or comments anyone has, feel free to contact me, and I can try to help by sharing my experience. I'll be around for a bit and will come back again for the N-400 in the near future.

Hope everyone else who's still waiting follows suit and get their approvals soon! Hang there, the wait is almost over

Just got request for initial evidence. Any idea what that means 

Wait until you get the letter, but my guess is this is USCIS trying to buy time

Could we do a roll call to see who is still pending? what happened to the August list of cases?

Hey all! I just noticed the case tracker app is not updating all loans. We have had the ‘new card is being produced’ and ‘case approved updates’ via the https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/. The USCIS page has not changed my status yet and the case tracker app has not updated my status either. There may be more approvals than what the tracker states. 

That's because the tracker app is being fed from USCIS site and not DHS, which often times have different statuses for the same case #.

It's not the app's fault, it's USCIS'

That's true, hopefully more approvals today ( Friday's are the days with most approvals). I'm guessing next week is going to be a slow week being thanksgiving and Black Friday.

really? in my experience fridays have been the slowest days to get any approvals

Seems approvals for August 2017 have slowed down for CSC , must be the impending thanksgiving break !

I noticed that too. They slowed down but there's still SO many cases still pending... like WTH?? are they taking an early long break for thanks giving? then might as well not go back to the office until after new year's, oh but wait! MLK Jr Day is Jan 21, oh no no... must also take the entire month of January for that, and then Easter, and the tooth fairy holiday! can't forget that one!!

Anyone who got transferred to Texas on 10/10/18 with any updates here? 

On VJ specifically, I haven't noticed anyone. But for my fiscal day (WAC17314, total # of cases: 362) specifically, out of the 274 cases that got transferred ON 10/10/28 (I'm assuming the majority went to Texas like mine did): 119 have been approved, 42 got RFEs, and 113 are still pending.

I had RFE (May) and Interview (October).

 

I filed jointly but got divorce a year later, so my application was still pending while my divorce was happening. I switched for divorce waiver while in the interview.

Would you mind sharing more info? What was the RFE for? What did the IO ask you at the interview?

don't worry, even if you post complete number no one can do anything with it.

My is WAC17314XXX, transferred to TX, still waiting. Haven't filed N400 yet.

OMG I'm 314 too. I have a really close eye on our day and I've been keeping a spreadsheet with status history as every case gets updated. Thought I was the only 314 on here 😊

I just received this in USCIS tracker

 

On October 24, 2018, we received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number EAC1729xxx, at your local office. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

 

The DHS site still has old status from February. Anyone knows what this means?

In my experience, this means you'll get a transfer notification tomorrow. I could be wrong. That's what happened to me and to about 200 cases in my day and then the next day we all got a status saying our case was transferred. Let me know what you get

Was your case ever transferred?

Name updated on Sunday? 🤷🏻‍♂️🙏🏼😑  not mine tho...

oh cool. Then it does look like they were working weekends. This is good

9 minutes ago, NYCBoy said:

I noticed a bunch of approvals yestrday and Saturday... either the app track has a delay or they are working on weekend.

They have worked weekends on the past, but if the approvals you saw were "Card Was Delivered To Me By The Post Office" then that's not USCIS, that only means those GC were delivered which prompts the tracking number for that card to send an automatic notification to USCIS system which then changes the status automatically on the site. Hopefully you saw some true approvals and not just delivery notifications. It'd be awesome if they're working cases on saturdays

I just noticed a trend going on. The cases that were NOT transferred with the recent mass transfer have been getting a lot of approvals this week. I figured it out by keeping history of the cases since a while ago and the only ones getting approvals are the ones that haven't been touched since February/March. So I guess this is good news to whomever hasn't been transferred, your chances are higher

492 days waiting.

EAC17257

I can do outside normal time inquiry in 6 days, as my case is June 13, 2017

Didn’t file N-400 and also haven’t gotten a RFE.

 

Last update was: August 28, transferred to MO National Center.

 

Been married 4 years got tons of evidence, plus the AOS interview was literally 10 minutes he didn’t even interview us.

 

As soon as he saw that I’m from Sweden and how high paid my job was he approved me right there on the spot. He didn’t even ask us any questions about our marriage.

 

He seemed more interested in my career and why a Swedish person would want to move to NYC lol when we got all benefits covered back home in Sweden.

 

He actually confessed at the interview that if I was Mexican or from Middle East then the interview would be much much stricter but because I’m from Sweden and he’s only had a dozen Swedes in all his time there he just approved it.

 

Can anyone who’s good with the tracker try to run: EAC17257 and help give me accurate % on cases approved and how many are left?

 

I’d appreciate that a lot, thanks.

I can try to take a bite at it. I'm not familiar with EAC cases in the app, I only run WACs but I think I can run one EAC day, it just might take me a bit. I'll be going on lunch break in 3 hours, so if you give me till then, I might be able to help

Yes, it's not good, but is there any point worrying unless you know that person's actual case details? Maybe they had no proof, who knows? This is why it's not really a great idea to check random case numbers. Especially on a Friday! 🍻🥂

I agree 100% with you. The little number crunching worry monster in me decides to do the complete opposite 😢🍺
