For those who have already been approved for a ROC, i am a little worried about recieving a REF, and what do start being proactive incase it happens. When i submitted my ROC on 12.16 i did not have any lease or deed as my spouse  had bought before our marriage and we never thought about adding my name to the title. But now I see that it is a requested document, since we never leased an appt & have no joint property. Do you think this will be grounds for a RFE and since we had not recieved one as of date do you think we should have the title changed now to include my name? 

The docs we did submit were as follows;

Copy of his mortage loan in spouse name only showing our joint address

Electrc bills in spouses name only showing joint address

Water bills in my name only showing joint address

Joint cell phone bill in both our names

Joint tax returns with transcripts no w2s

Joint checking & saving statements 

Joint auto ins

Copy of both DL showing same address

Copy of employmnt ins coverage showing joint coverage

Copy of my 401k listing spouse as benny. (Spouse has no 401k)

Copy of join gym membership & payment history

Copy of animal hospital bills in both of our names

Photo albums & random pieces of mail from family & friends. Part invites, xmas cards, wedding invites, postcards address to us jointly. 

For those that have been approved do you think that I should expect a REF?

Thank you in advance.

Reading the list of documents you have submitted I would never think you'd get a RFE. I think you sent lots of good evidence.

I think you will get your approval very soon!!!!

Hey @dlmbtltk just checking inn on you. Have you submitted the documents for your ref? Hope you are hanging in there!

Oh yeah, they received my response march 12th and there's no updates when i check online other than (on march 12th we received your response to our RFE, our California office will start to work on your case again ).

I went to a infopass appt last friday and the officer said that my file was sent to the local office and that i'm currently in line to be schedule for an interview and that it could take up to 21 months to get the interview scheduled. lol

So, are you functioning on an i551 stamp then? I just went to get mine yesterday and received it for a year. I didn't ask her how long it would take me to get an interview...she said to consider the stamp as my green card so I left the appt satisfied. i just want to be able to work and travel freely while waiting for the USCIS to do their work...for now. Lol

yes, this was the second i551 stamp I got and they gave me only 6 months each time. So sep/oct I might have to go back for another one (But obviously I'm hoping I will just have my green card by then)

Interesting, cause everyone says that when they tranfer the file to the local office it always means you'd get an interview and that didnt happen to you...

Congrats!!!!!!

Wowww...21 months? That's crazy long! 

yeah, tell me about it. I doubt it will take that long to get a interview notice though...

I just wish this was done already, it's  almost 21 months since i first applied.

I’m a aug 2016 filer and also received RFE, they received my response March 12th, there hasn’t been any updates online but I went to a Infopass appt last fri and the officer told me that my file is now at the local office and I’m in line to be scheduled for an interview and also told me that it could take up to 21 months to get an interview scheduled here.

@dllmbtltk do you mind sharing what info you sent originally and what additional infor they asked. Are you a waiver filer or a joint??.

I am so so sorry to hear about the interview as well as the additional possible 21month wait. 😔 that is disheartening to hear. 

But keep the faith, delay does not mean denial. 

My case is a good faith marriage waiver, I had sent : credit card statements, bank acc statements, health insurance, 401k and other employee benefits listing me as the beneficiary, cable/internet bills, cellphone bills, affidavits from 5 people that knows us and 1 written by me and also 1 written by my ex, concert tickets, taxes for the year we were married. 

And then they sent me such a general list of things.... 

so I found out  that our taxes were done wrong for that year, they were filed wrong( as single) so my ex and I went to the accountant and did tge  amendment  to fix it to send as part of the new documents for the RFE, I also sent copies of our conversations online from when we met on a dating website along with a new statement from me.

That is scary. I am also a good faith wavier filer. My NOA1 date is Oct 24th. Haven't herd anything back from them yet. I wanted to travel to my home county and been waiting to hear something back before I travel.

What does your NOA1 status update say now? 

its just says that they have received my response to the RFE and that my case is not on hold anymore. 3 more days and it will be a month since they received my response.

751 pending still, My 400 will be rejected because my husband passed away 3 days after the 400 interview, I had my 400 interview on the 26th last month, I was trying to persuade the officer to adjudicate both on the spot by putting an expedited oath ceremony request based on humanitarian ground with tons of medical evidence and dr's letter saying my husband would like to see me become a citizen before he potentially passed which was 100 percent true arguing that as a same sex couple, if it weren't for DOMA and Prop 8, we would have gotten married a long time ago, and we would not be in this situation facing the possibility of his failing to fulfill his last wish to see me become a citizen due to his age and declining health, the officer was somehow sympathetic but he said he was only in charge of 400 and could not make a decision and he said he would talk to his supervisor. He took my emergency expedited oath request though, 3 days later, my love passed, my lawyer told me to submit an emergency request to convert my 751 to an individual waiver application to avoid complications because if they approved my joint application after my man's death, they could undo it and have me file a new 751 all over again, and that would be s huge screw up and a big nightmare, so I did so by going to my field office as an emergency, and they took my request to cover my 751 to a waiver one right there. I submitted as much evidence like mortuary letter and medical record telling them I will submit the death certificate as soon as it is available. It takes my county a while to produce the death certificate. So at this point, I am waiting for my husband's death certificate so I will make another emergency visit and submit his death certificate. At this point, I think they are just waiting for the death certificate, but how long are they going to adjudicate my 751 is unclear, hopefully soon. My 400 will be rejected because my husband passed before the oath, and my 751 is pending because they want to see the death certificate, which should be ready by next week. What a mess, I am just so tired, on top of grieving for my love that I knew for 21 years, I have to deal with the immigration. I tried everything, and it just did not work. Hope this nightmare will end soon, hope I will get my 751 approved and I can re apply for 400 next August. My case is just complicated and kind of rare unfortunately. Hope better days are coming. 

I'm so sorry for your loss!!!! I hope everything gets resolved for you very soon!!!!

Contact your representatives (Congressperson and Senators) and see if they can follow up on it for you... worst case USCIS will probably schedule your interview sooner and best case they may take another look at your file and approve you!

 

In other news, for me...

 

On Monday, I got all excited there for a minute... my email said "we've updated your file" - so I checked in on the website to see if they'd done something on my N-400 ........ And nope. It turns out that the "update" was changing the status on the I751 (which you can finally track online) to say that my card had been mailed to me. 

 

The update was dated Sunday... I got my new card 2 weeks ago. I joked about "wouldn't it be funny if they sent me another green card?" - hahaha

 

Right, so... I totally got a second green card. But this one says my "resident since" date is 03/14/18 (the date they finally approved my I-751) - SOOOOOOOO ticked off, since this means I had to take another morning off to go to an Infopass (fortunately there are Infopass appointments available next week!) to sort it out, and make sure that the date is correct in my N-400 application - if they look at the wrong card, they'd simply deny my N-400 because I "wasn't a resident long enough" and I'd be out $700! 

 

Seriously, the IT department at USCIS need to get fired. OMG I'm so tired of USCIS and their incompetence!!!!!!!! 

I wish you all the luck with your situation. I think I will wait at least a month and if I don’t hear from them I’ll probably contact the Congress person etc.

I have mine on Monday as mine also expired in February. I haven't applied for citizenship, but will do it this weekend as it is taking forever.

I hear ya, I can’t apply for citizenship for another year since Im a waiver case but if u are eligible good for u for going that route. Good luck with the new application and your Infopass appt!!! 

So I went to my infopass appt this morning and the Officer that I talked to gave me another stamp on my passport and said that they received my file last tuesday at the office here and that I am in line to be schedule for an interview.

I asked him if he knew the timeline to receive a interview letter and he said that the website says it could take up to 21 months

He also said that if in 4 months I havent received my green card or the notice to come for an interview I should schedule another appt to get another stamp.

Lord have mercy ....

I made an infopass appt at the USCIS tomorrow morning to get another stamp on my passport since the one i have has been expired since feb. and I'll try to see if they can give me any info about my case, I got a RFE in jan, responded march 12th and haven't heard from them again since.

Hey everyone! Just thought I’d update you all! I got an RFE back in late January (asking for updated lease agreement since we were on a “month-to-month” lease term). I submitted updated everything, including tax returns, bank statements, car insurance, etc etc. since it’s been a year and a half. They received it on 3/20/18 and by the following week I had a notice dated 3/23/18 that my application has been approved (without interview) and to expect my green card in the mail! Just waiting on my card now, phew!!! What a weight lifted!

Congrats!!! Happy for u :-) 

 I filed aug 10 2016, waiver case, good faith marriage, same sex. 

got biometrics done October 2016

got RFE beginning of Jan 2018, they received my response March 12th 2018, have been waiting since.... I’m so anxious ☠️😱 I wonder how much longer I’ll have to wait. 

Anyone else that has gotten a RFE??

its been 603 days since they received my application. 

Up

My case is a waiver (good faith marriage), filed aug 2016, biometrics done october 2016, no updates till beginning of jan 2018 when I received a RFE (not asking for anything specific, they just sent me a general list of documents that I could send to support my case. (Which I was surprised to get it cause I sent a lot of evidence) 
I was able to put together a couple of more things and sent my response and they received on march 12th 2018. 
Any idea usually how long it would take to get another update on the case after sending response to RFE? 
I check the status of my case online and now it just says: 

On March 12, 2018, we received your response to our Request for Evidence for your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number WAC*******. Our California Service Center office will begin working on your case again. We will mail you a decision or notify you if we need something from you.
