    So this is what i got after contacting USCIS :

     

    Recently, you contacted us about the status of your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, filed on August 09, 2017.  On August 30, 2018, you also filed a Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.  Our records indicate that your Form I-751 and Form N-400 are currently pending and will be adjudicated at the same time.  

     

    Filed i-751 to Vermont on 8/9/2017

    Filed N-400 on 8/30/2018

    EAC1731300*** 

     

    I’ll be back with details after we are done with this drama. 👍🏼

    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:

     

     

     

    Summary of my case

    Service Center: CSC
    First 5 Digits from WAC/EAC Receipt #: WAC1731400 (I-751)  &  WAC1722150 (CRI-89)
    NOA1 Date: 08/11/2017
    Filed N-400?: No
    Case Transferred?: Yes

         If yes, provide to what service center? On what date?: Texas (TSC) 10/10/2018

    Approved?: YES :D

         If yes, what was the date of your approval?: 12/18/2018

         If yes, did you have a RFE (Request for Evidence)? On what date?: No

         If yes, did you have an interview? On what date?: No

    Any other information: Divorce waiver

     

     

    My ROC Timeline:

    08/11/2017   -   NOA1 Date. CRI-89 Status: "Case Was Received"

    09/13/2017   -   Biometrics Appointment

    02/26/2018   -   I-751 Status change to: Case Was Received At My Local Office
    10/09/2018   -   I-751 Status change to: Case Was Received At My Local Office (glitch)

    10/10/2018   -   I-751 Status change to: Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction

    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 :)

    At the joint interview our interviewer asked us how we met, and what day we married, for our id's, and asjed if we had any additional documents to submit for the file. I pulled out my portable file cabinet and he seemed a little glassy-eyed and had me just pull a few. After a glance at our lease and power of attorney forms he said we were approved.

     

    Shazam! :)

    Ahaha awsome!

    I think our mistake was to apply for naturalization when the window opened. They will probably not look at those combined cases for another 6 months or so. Almost everyone else seems done.

    Oh well, we can always have more coffee (or wine!) while we wait 😁

    I hope you are wrong! Removal of condition deadline is different from naturalization.

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!!

    Hi all,

    I am new to this forum and I apologize in advance if this question has already been answered. I filed my I-751 in August of 2017 and I have been checking my status since. I have two receipt numbers: one that came with the notice of action (I-751 receipt notice - EACxxxxx) and two that came with the ASC appointment notice [EACxxxxxxxx(same as 751 notice#)-EACxxxxxxxxxx(CRI notice #)]. I have been checking the status of both and looking at different forums they say not to even bother looking at the I-751 notice number but today, that i-751 notice number states "On October 30, 2018, we approved your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number EACxxxxxxx. We will mail your approval notice etc.." while the CRI-89 still states "On August 16, 2017, we received your Form CRI-89, Petition to Remove Conditions of Permanent Resident Status Received, Receipt Number EACxxxxxxxxx, and sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. etc.." Can someone please tell me from their experience which one is more accurate/reliable?

    Congratulations you are a free.

    Hi all, I just want to share that I received three (3) mails from USCIS today: (1) Notice of completion of the preliminary review of application; (2) Approval notice noting that I should receive the new card within 60 days; and (3) the actual green card(!!) valid until 2028. :jest:

     

    I am so happy that this part of the process is over! I am wishing that everyone who are still waiting will receive their approvals soon! Thank you all for being so supportive!!

    Congratulations 🍾
