Call one of the Credit card company s, We called Trans-union, Request a letter stating you do not have credit history.  Send that in and we also sent a letter explaining why my wife does not have credit yet and how we plan to get her positive credit when she is able to get a social and work.

That's a big help. Appreciate you.

What other supporting documents you provided for I-944?

its all listed on the Instructions link on the USCIS website were you get the form, I suggest reading it and understanding it well. That form is new and it seems like it's the cause for most RFEs or Rejections, Since that form became REQUIRED, i don't believe anyone has been officially approved. Unfortunately there is no "How to" example because no one knows what's right or wrong.  Read the instructions and ask questions if you have any.   Main items that I remember are, Education, Credit Score/History, Proof you speak English, Public Charge.

 

Good Luck!

Thanks @kayden123

My wife came to United State 3 months back and she do not have Credit score or Credit report. 

This question about credit report is very confusing. I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this.

Can someone tell me the list of supporting documents I need to send with form I-994? Thank you!

If you filed after 02/24/2020 you have to. If you didn't included it, your package will most likely get rejected 

And fees remain same $1225?

What actually is Form I-944 (Declaration of Self-Sufficiency)? We only filed I 765, I 864 and I 131. Do we still need to file I-944 form? This is K1 AOS.

Also, can I reuse the returned form(s) when I resubmit my application or do I need to startover everything?

How about this?

My case was rejected with a reason "The Payment amount is incorrect or has not been provided". I filed G-1450 and provided my credit card information and $1225 for (I-131, i-765, i-864). As far as I can tell credit card information I provided is correct. What could have gone wrong?

I would suggest you wait a little bit longer. I was in a similar situation of not knowing what to do with my wife and stepsons applications. 
 

In our case they received the AOS packets on April 13th but we didn't hear back till May 28th. 
 

It just seems in some cases it's taking a little bit longer than expected. 

Thank you @uofaforlife, we will wait for few weeks before we reapply.

Did you call the call center and speak with someone? And if so, then they said your application is still not even in their system? I'd still wait before considering re-applying, since I imagine if they are processing your first application that could then become very confusing, but I understand that's easy for me to say at this point, I know how frustrating this must be  If you haven't already, could always ask the person over the call center line what they think you should do.

Yes, Called them, they said application is not in their system.

Call USCIS or chat with Emma. Ask them if your case is in the system.

Emails to Lockbox are practically useless. We sent them twice, and got no reply. We learned our NOA case numbers through chatting with Emma. Good luck!

That i have already done. Thank you for your suggestion.

It has been 35 days today our AOS packet delivered to lockbox and haven't heard anything whatsoever from them. lockbox hasn't replied to our email. 
Is it time for me to reapply? I only have few weeks before I-94 expires. Thank you for your suggestion.

Option 1) Wait

Option 2) Cancel the original payment (if possible) and refile.

 

There is no clear answer here, although 1 month or so under current circumstances is not unheard either.

Was the payment redeemed (i.e. check cashed, card charged, etc.)? Does the tracking number show it was delivered?

Card has not been charged yet and Yes, tracking number says the packed was deliverd.

We filed AOS April 27th. Packet was delivered on 29th April. As of today we haven't heard anything from USCIS. Card hasn't been charged yet. Called USICS and they said they do not have information about my case, ended up emailing lockboxsupport with a glimmer hope of getting reply but as of now there is no response. What are the options we have other than waiting for lockbox to reply? will lockbox reply to your email? if YES typically how long it takes for them to reply? should we refile? If we refile and our both packet gets accepted we might ended up paying double fee. Thank you for your advise.

We just went through a similarly stressful situation, but the honest advice is indeed: try not to worry about it. You have a confirmation that your package was received by the Chicago lockbox (either from USPS or FedEx or whatever you used)? They have it. And once your case gets picked up, your "filing date" will be listed as the date they received it (i.e. we heard nothing until a few days ago, but now that it's there our is listed as filed on April 29). So no one will be out of status because you have already filed it, it's just not in their system just yet

Thank you! I filed via USPS and it only says "Your item was Delivered" is there a difference between Delivered and Received? How do i know my packet was received by the Chicago lockbox?

There is nothing that you can do right now. 

Since our I -94 is about to expire. Do we file extension?

There is absolutely nothing anywhere official that says anything other than 30 real days (not business days). Honestly, I'm not sure where the "30 business days" thing comes from. The YouTube Immigration Service?

 

Direct quote from the USCIS web site:

 

 

I do not see any other options other than waiting. I-94 expires 6/15. Would you be able to tell me what needs to be done so that my wife will not be out of status please?

You can ask Emma for an Live Agent and she will connect you to a USCIS Representative and with a Little Bit of luck he/she can give you your receipt numbers if your forms are already in the system. That’s how I got my receipt numbers too . 

Thank you! They do not have receipt number yet. I also emailed lockbox. At this time do i still wait for few weeks? refile? If i ended up refilling and they ended up accepting both forms i will have to pay fee twice. This is so confusing.

Per your timeline you sent your package on 4/27. It’s not a month yet. But if I were you, I’d chatted with Emma first thing in the morning to check if your case is in the USCIS system yet. Personally I found out my I-485 case number that way. Good luck! 

I tried chatting with Emma and she doesn't sound very helpful. what you need to ask her to to find I-485 case number? she is asking me to email lockboxsupport@uscis.dhs.gov to check the status of the packet. I sent email inquiring about the packet with the glimmer hope that i will get the response soon. 

It has been exactly a month since we sent AOS packet. Haven't received Notice of action yet. Do i still wait? Is what is the best way i can reach out USCIS. We obviously do not have receipt number, what information we need to provide them to get the status of the case? Thank you!!

I sent AOS packet on 27th April and was delivered on 29th April. Card hasn't been charged yet and no sign of NOA. Anybody in same situation?

The statistics says that the file will not be at NVC for 30 days from NOA2 approval. I think you are being aggressive with your math. 

Well, they already have my file  after 2 weeks. and it doesn't hurt checking with them after 2 weeks, just to make sure my file is not lost on the way to NVC.

I called today as well and i got exact same answer. My package was received on 15th of Jan. Hopefully we will get case number this week.

 

Well, this is what NVC website says "Current case creation time frame: As of 13-JAN-2020, we are working on cases that were received from USCIS on 11-DEC-2019".

I just called today and they told me they received the package last week but no case number assigned yet. I am sure it's got to be this week. You and I have the same approval date so let me know what they say to you. Thanks!
