    Has anyone else applied for the Uniting for Ukraine program?

    in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I have a question about being a sponsor. Just two months ago I filed I-130 (green card) for my parents and it was approved. Right now their case is at NVC pending review. I submitted all the needed paperwork. 

     

    My friend from Ukraine contacted me a few days ago asking if I could be her sponsor. I would like to but I'm afraid it's going to complicate my parents' case. There is a question on I-130 about sponsoring anybody else so If I were to sponsor my friend then I would look like I lied on I-130. Or can I  amend it? It looks like once you submit everything to NVC you can't make any changes. 

     

    Has anybody else been in a similar situation?

    Just got the notice in mail that our case was transferred to Potomac on 06/07/2019. We plan on applying for naturalization at the end of July. 

    Looks like you got your green card in October of 2016. I got mine in November 2016. I thought you had to wait until the 3 year mark of green card receipt, and then we can only apply for naturalization (meaning I would have to wait till November 2019) . Please correct me if I am wrong.

     

    Thanks.

    Basically my husband's case as per uscis was entered into their system on Sept 21. Which was when the noa was supposed to mailed out. His gc expires on oct 7, we saw nothing was coming into the mail even when we called uscis to check. So finally we just decided to contact our congressman to see what they can find out for us. Because they have contacts with the service centers. 

     

    Finally they talked with the Cali center and confirmed the letter was sent on 21st but not sure why it didn't make it to is yet. So they gave the congressman a digital copy and resend a duplicate copy to mail to us 

    That's great news your congressman was able to help you and your husband. I will be contacting my congresswoman Monday. Thanks for the heads up!

     

    I do find it hard to believe they mailed NOA's when they say they did. There are about 15-20 of us waiting on NOA's and our checks were cashed around the same time. I think there was some kind of a glitch in their system or USPS is at it again.

    When i called to get my receipt number the one that they gave me starts with LIN which stands for Nebraska service center (which was the one handling my I485 ). Is that normal or is it supposed to start with WAC since I sent my case to California at the end of August?

    It's normal. I sent my application to California service center . Check was cashed in Arizona. My receipt number starts with LIN. There's a few more people in this thread in the same boat. They are transferring our cases all over the place. 

     

    My check was also cashed on September 24th and USCIS told me I can call them October 24th and file a service request for the missing mail if I don't get NOA by that date. I would recommend you do the same thing.

    i talked to a representative of my congressman on the phone just now. i think you guys should. apparenrently they have direct offices with the service locations where they can represent us and talk to them to find out more info as in where is the noa，or is it mailed yet，etc。

     

    she even told me that my husband's extension should be 180 days instead of 18 months。。。but idk what to believe。but anyway she sent papers for my husband to sign so that she can represent us to talk to uscis directly。since my husband is at work，he cant sign until tonight。so i hope to hear back from her tmrw after we send back the papers to her tonight。

     

     

    What state are you in?

    So I have a theory about what's going on. 

     

    We sent our paperwork to California Service Center in August. Our cases got transferred all over the country due to the backlog. For example my check was cashed in Arizona, some people had their checks cashed in Illinois or Texas. When checks were cashed we were given a case number (receipt number) by those service centers. Now, if you look at your receipt number, the first 3 letters tell you which service center is handling your case.  My case starts with LIN which means Nebraska SC is responsible for my case. This means that my paperwork got transferred again- from Arizona to Nebraska. 

     

    Most of us have a problem checking case status on USCIS website, and USCIS agent told me yesterday she could only see my case in one of her systems but not in the other.  I think this means my case has not been processed by Nebraska SC yet and a NOA has not even been issued yet.

     

    I'm not trying to spread some false rumors. I'm just trying to understand why it's taking them over 2 months to send us NOAs. Even if I'm right, where do we go from here? Next week I will be able to file a missing mail request and maybe that will finally get things moving. 

     

    It is very frustrating. I feel for all of guys who have to deal with the expiring driver's license on top of all of this. Thank god my driver's license doesn't expiry for another couple of years.

    It's bugging me, my card doesn't expire until mid next month but they were quick enough to cash the payment but have not even had the decency to send a letter or provide any sort of update. Feel like everyone has been left in limbo it's a joke.

    I hear you. My 30 day mark since the letter was "sent" will be next week. Then they will be able to file a service request for the "missing mail". Service request can take up to 30 days. What a mess.

    The same for me. my number also starts with LIN.

    Just called USCIS and they are not able to help either. Apparently they have 2 systems and one system shows  the same info we see on Dhs and the second system doesn't return any results. So basically they see what we see.

     

    They told me to wait 30 days since the date my case was registered and then call them back again. They will file a service request which will also take 30 days to process. 

     

    Don't know what is going on with our cases (seems to affect applicants who sent their paperwork mid August through end of August) but feels like we are in some kind of limbo

    I'm glad to see everyone getting their check cashed. Sent my wife package via Fedex and was received on 8/15 and still waiting. Hopefully I see something by end of this week. Waiting for the unknown is stressing me out. I hope sending via Fedex doesnt mean more delay.

    I sent mine via FedEx too. It was delivered on 8/13 and check got cashed yesterday. You turn should be just around the corner! Hang in there.
