You will be coming in shortly - probably in the next few weeks! Claiming it!

I'm an October 2021 filler, hopefully I'll get approved soon 🤞
I hope you get it in the next few days!
I want them to be done with 2021 too. Once they get to 2022, only January, August, and September have large amount of cases. February is the next one with the most cases, but March-July they are minimal, so they should get through those "faster".

Any April approvals? Still waiting April 7th 2023 - Potomac Service Centre. What months are they working on now??
According to the stats website I look at, they have halted I-130 processing. They are working on I-751 Removal of Conditions applications. If they are slowly working on I-130, or when they begin processing them again, they would be at the December 2022 mark, so you might still have more time left. Best of luck!

Gracias por su mensaje!
We sent all the documents we could (via our lawyer), to meet the requirements.
We included both the IRS and Hacienda Tax Returns for the Joint Sponsor, as well as brokerage/investments accounts (TD Ameritrade) for both the joint sponsor and I (with assets that well supersede the requirements USCIS is looking for) and bank account statements back-dated 12 months.
Still, we got an RFE, which indicated that both the Primary and Joint Sponsor do not meet the requirements)... 😂
So something tells me the agent didn't look at anything, saw Hacienda/Puerto Rico, and thought it was a different country.
Not surprising: Some TSA Agents think that PR is not a US state/territory and refuse to accept my ID until I ask for the Managing Officer.
Correct.
When it comes to reviewing cases, I've always believed that some officers review the cases down to the T of what they have been told, so when something is not 1 to 1 with their "guide", they just submit an RFE or whatever - rather than using critical thinking and actually reading the paperwork. You can tell when there is a senior officer versus a newbie. I also think some of them are extremely disorganized or lazy. For our AOS packet, we got an RFE for my husband's birth certificate, which I know we included because I had an exact copy of the packet AND the packet had a detailed cover letter indicating where everything was. SMH.
Welcome to immigration where the paperwork is a lot and the time doesn't matter!

Hi all!
Not a filer now nor was I doing it from Puerto Rico.However, I am a PR native. Unfortunately, yes, for the immigration process, there are times that USCIS officers do not understand the nuances between Puerto Rico and USA documents. I wouldn't even be surprised that some of them forget the whole U.S. territory - and yes, I have been present to conversations about this where I have been asked if it was hard for me to get my green card as recent as less than a decade ago. For example, the whole tax returns. You have the ones in PR to Hacienda (as someone previously stated) and the federal ones that are the same as those in USA. Likewise, the birth certificates can be a thing, especially due to the fraudulent ones. I know for sure twice there has been a government change in how they look and I have had to request them so I have the updated version (and I am only in my 30s) just because the old ones were so easy to fake, people getting to PR illegally and using them to then marry to get to the USA.
At any rate, when it comes to financials just send everything that you have. Sometimes including a short statement of explaining what something is can help them understand. I kid you not, I paid Puerto Rico for a certificate of single status just to be safe when I started the K1 visa for my now husband only because I didn't want issues and I knew just throwing Puerto Rico into the mix could result in stupid RFEs. LOL
Anyways, long rant, let me know if I can help. Best of luck! -

It seems they are finally getting around to my case. I filed for removal of conditions in July 2021; then changed to a divorce waiver back in May 2022 (sent them a letter and they had marked it as received.) Just received an update that they finally changed the name in my application (I had requested for them to change it to my maiden name.) Hopefully will get another update soon. Fingers crossed.
Yes, they are working May-July 2021 now.
Hoping you get to hear something within the next few weeks! -

I haven't seen my fiancé in person in over 6 months due to circumstances with work/PTO, among other things.
I won't be seeing my fiancé before the interview either, as it's quite soon already.
We've been together quite often in the past 2 years (6 visits).
Would it be a red flag that we haven't seen each other for so long?
If you are going the K1 visa route, the important thing is that you have seen each other at least once in the last two years. It sounds like you have had plenty of visits in the last two years - it does not matter that you have not seen each other in 6 months or that you won't be seeing each other before the interview.

Thanks. I wondered why they stopped doing it like that and the only reason I can think of is if they want to charge again to get that annotation. Do they reply to emails?
Hi!
Here is the information I gathered from the group:
https://www.dnrec.jus.gov.ar/GestionUsu/NuevaGestion.aspx?tipo=reclamoThis is what one of the people did: She had to go in person to the police station. From there they gave her a paper with instructions and her case number. With that she went online, and using that case number, she was able to submit a pdf/image of a letter stating that she needed to have that 51 code, and a copy of her DNI.
Feel free to inbox me your number so you can be added to the Whatsapp group. -

Hi, yes I did today. Just a bit worried that this will end up being a problem. It was hard to find an email but I found one info@dnrec.jus.gov.ar
I just hope it is a functioning email.
I am trying to find answers in a Whatsapp group we have.
When we did ours, it came with the exception, so we didn't have to go through this twice. However, if I recall correctly, a few people in the group did have to get it after the fact. I just can't remember if they paid again. -

Hello everyone. I'm Argentinian and I live abroad, I was able to open a "clave fiscal" in order to get the "certificado de antecedentes penales" online. Through the AFIP site, I went to the Reincidencia site and requested the certificate and a friend paid online through Mercado pago since I have no cards or accounts attached to Argentina. Today I got the certificate, I knew it would come without the "con excepcion al articulo 51 del codigo penal" so I did what some people here suggested which is, I went to "reclamos" to try to request the change, filled out all the info BUT I found this part confusing (see attached). Am I supposed to pay AGAIN to make this change? It isn't clear to me if they are referring to how I paid or if I am supposed to pay again. If they are referring to how I paid, I don't see "Mercado pago" as an option since I went through AFIP. Any assistance will be appreciated!
Hi!
Did you try emailing them?

So today I made the mistake of calling USCIS to see if there is an update because I was supposed to call them if I hadn’t heard back after 120 days after my last interaction with them. Well, that didn’t go as I had hoped.. Timeline of what happened when:
August 2021: Filed I-751
*crickets*
December 2022: Biometrics
*crickets*June 2023: Received RFE for evidence of continued marital life, etc (because, and I quote, “your case was submitted in August 2021 so we need updated info”)
June 2023: Submitted requested info, received confirmation from UPS with date and time of receipt by USCIS. I had to send the RFE response info to the California Field Office in Fresno, which I think was odd.. Was told in RFE letter that they would respond within 60 days
September 2023: Contacted USCIS because I received no update or answer. They couldn’t find my RFE response info. They submitted a request and I received an email stating that my case was sent to the California Field Office at the end of 2022 (why is it there??) and that I should call back if I haven’t heard back after 120 days
Today: I called them and they say they still see no record of receiving the RFE response packet I sent, even though I know it was delivered. Rep told me to “send it again because otherwise they might close my case”. While she is on the phone with me, she all of a sudden asks for my phone number and email, and during the call I receive an email asking me to complete the survey on how satisfied I am about USCIS Customer Service (WTH???).
I get it, mistakes happen and sometimes files get lost etc. but the thing that just makes me SO mad is the fact that they make it so hard to get in touch with them, they give crazy timelines (and don’t you dare call us at day 58 if we told you to wait 60 days), and no helpful info at all! I could have resent the RFE response 4 months ago if they would have just told me that they don’t have it.
So frustrated right now…
This is so frustrating.
I am so sorry you are having to go through this.
I hope there is a resolution for you soon. Try reaching out to your senator or maybe a WoM? I know you do not want to be a USC, so maybe try one of those?Wishing you the best of luck!

November 2021, still waiting
I am hoping you hear something soon. They are currently working on Apr-Jun 2021, so it might take a couple of more months. 😕 But, hoping it is sooner for you!

There is a lot of movement for 2021, so just checking in to see how everyone is doing?

According to a third party site, Potomac has been averaging close to 100 I-751 completions per day in the last 3 days. Completions ranged from 80 to 150 completions per day. Most of them are for April 2021 filings (45 from today alone).
Yes, I have a website that has been showing they are either approving or transferring a ton of cases per day. In the latest report from January 10th-11th, they approved 178 and transferred 133. I can confirm it does appear most of it is April and May 2021 with August and October 2022 being one of the higher ones being processed there after - probably because of N400 filings, even though I have seen some of those that were approvals without an N400 application. -

Hi, new to the VJ site. Simple, yet maybe important question. In filling out the I-129F, all of the boxes that do not apply...should they be left blank or should I print "N/A" or something else? I understand the USCIS can be very particular. Ant other non-obvious tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
Across our journey, we have used, "N/A", "Not Applicable", "None", and blanks, and we have never had an issue. We have had to use different terms because sometimes filling out the PDF the fields take some values over others. -

You can try posting here - it doesn't seem like the site owner cares.
Yeah, I wasn't trying to add stuff on VJ since it is an issue. I was just trying to see if people wanted to do a group where we could share outside information.
I'll just keep looking at the other sites I do have.
Either way, we are likely to file N400 before this mess is ever approved. -
Does anyone know why the stats for 751 on here are just for VSC and CSC? It is not helpful at all. Then, we can't even post outside links to share information.
Is anyone interested in creating a GroupMe group? We can share information there. -

The craziest thing happened today: I received not one, not 2, but 7 notification letters for my interview on Jan 10th 😂 I thought it was just a glitch in USPS Website this morning… I haven’t opened the other 5 envelopes yet lol.
There goes USCIS. For some, the letter never arrives, for others, they get 10 letters! LOL

I’m feb 2021 filed and nothing yet
This is what gets me mad. On the list, I saw a filer whose case was sent 09/26/2022 that was approved (11/30/23) without a sign of N400 being filed or anything. But, here you are waiting. NO LOGIC.

Also a March 2021 filer here! Hoping for news soon myself, and this brings me some hope; thanks for sharing ❤️
Any update? YSC has been pumping them out like the Duggars.
In the last 24-48 hours, they approved 114 cases for 751. It looks like the majority were 2021, so I hope you are closer each time!

My husband has come a long way and continues to learn English but it is not confident yet to attempt the interview. We do not want to rush to apply for an N400 and then throw money down the drain because of a miscommunication or language barrier.
