I received a text from USCIS this evening with my receipt number - SRC, so Texas Service Center. My packet was delivered to Phoenix lockbox on Tuesday (11/08). Check hasn't been cashed yet.

I sent the packet out on 11/02/22 and USCIS received it 11/04. I was given a receipt number which I’ve entered into the app to track my case and the notification there says they have mailed me a receipt notice. (Is this the NOA1?) my receipt number begins LIN does that have any reference/meaning? ☺️

Not yet - guessing it will come towards the end of this week or beginning of next. Definitely watching the USPS Informed Delivery 

Thank you. Yes, I have POA, but wanted him to be able to sign himself ideally. I think it would just look better, even though there's a good reason.
 
 
We ended up doing as Mike suggested and I managed to print a copy of his signed page that he completed overseas. I linked the USCIS guidance above showing this is acceptable - just in case anyone is looking at this thread later for advice!

military are required to give POA to spouse (or relative ) before deploying
u should have the POA and submit copy of it with you signing in his steed putting POA by the signature place

Signature date CAN be earlier than filing date , so adding actual date is ok.
 
Clearly your husband left it undated so you can choose the date of filing but you’re second guessing yourself…

Thank you for creating this thread. ☺️

My TLDR timeline: 
I came to Spokane, WA, USA from England on a K1 visa in Dec 2019
Filed AOS on Jan 3 2020
Invited to interview in April 2020 but COVID derailed that. 
Interviewed in Spokane in early Sept 2020 
RFE received after interview because USCIS lost my medical exam results that I gave at POE in Seattle & so I had to go redo the exam
Approved around Thanksgiving 2020
 
I filed ROC petition on 11/02/2022.
My GC expires on 11/24/2022. 
 
I’ll update here when there is news and I receive the extension letter or any news about using biometrics. 
 
Wishing everyone a smooth processing experience! 🌻

not true. 
 
See https://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/uscis-announces-flexibility-in-submitting-required-signatures-during-covid-19-national-emergency
 
Here is my advice:
 
Your husband should print the page of I-751 that requires his signature, sign and date it, and send you over message or email a legible photo of that entire page.
 
 You should then crop the photo to the 8.5 X 11 aspect ratio, print it, and if there is a line for your signature, sign and date that. 

I like your idea to simplify it. That’s exactly what I would chose to,do. 
if the date was extremely critical, they would ask for a witness or notary to watch him sign. 
 
EDIT: After thinking about it, I think it would also be fine to put the date he signed. You prepared everything early. Most do. As long as USCIS receives it during the specified timeframe is what matters, not the date you finished your submission.

I was not asked for anything when I boarded the plane back to US other than if I had Visa, GC or US PP.
Book ticket with PP name. 
Present your GC on your way back. 
You do not need to present MC, in my opinion. 

@PBabz you can also try joining the US Foreign Military Spouse groups on Facebook (there are a couple). People there will have been in the same situation as you and can give good advice I'm sure! 

Hi, my husband is active duty and my green card just got approved this week - for the I-864 we originally included:
- LES from the previous 6 months of employment
- 2019 IRS Tax return transcript (from IRS website)
- 2019 IRS wage and income transcript (from IRS website)
- 2019 W2

 
We took 2020 W2 and certificate of military compensation to the interview last week as extra documentation just in case, but didn't need them.
 
Good luck!

I added my husband to all of my utility bills(electric, gas, cable) without his being in the US and without him having a SS number. 

It will be the picture on your green card! Prepare as necessary

Oh that sounds good - thanks a lot for sharing your experience!

We had our AOS interview yesterday. We arrived about 20 minutes before our interview and had no issues getting in the building. Once we arrived we had to 'check in' at a window and I had my biometrics taken again (photo and 2 finger prints). We then waited for our interview, which started only about 5 minutes after our appointment time. I would arrive 15-20 mins early and I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine.
 
We took originals of birth certificates, passports, marriage certificate (I also took originals of some of the I-944 documents, e.g. education certificates). I also had a copy of absolutely everything we submitted originally, and also extra evidence collected since we submitted (joint bank statements, photos, tax info, etc). If you don't have something they're asking for (e.g. I-94), as someone said above just take whatever you do have (passport with entry stamp / traveler record). 
 
Just follow their instructions and you'll be fine! Best of luck!

I got a 'case closed, benefit received by other means' sort of message a month or so after I got my green card, as I ended up with that first. I treated that as being as good as an approval message for the sake of VJ numbers.
