Well off to the post with the documents from the last 2 years of our lives!  Window opened on Nov 14 but mailing today..so December filers here we are! 

Plenty of colleges to transfer to if you really want to save your marriage.

Why would you rely on public (tax-payer) assistance if your savings are sufficient to support yourself and your wife, and fund your wife's immigration, even if your current income is zero?  If you are accepting publicly-funded financial assistance, then you are a public charge; aka a burden on the public.
 
Let alone the morality aspect of receiving unnecessary funding--why would you ever possibly open the "public charge" can of worms when you are trying to go through the immigration process?  How can you expect to argue that you have enough money to support your wife and at the same time accept money/assistance that is intended for those who are unable to support themselves?  
 
Is a sufficient Form I-864 the only consideration for meeting any public charge issues at the time of the visa interview?
 
No, consular officers also look at other public charge factors affecting the financial situation of both the financial sponsor(s) and the applicant. Age, health, education, skills, financial resources and family status of the applicant and the sponsor are factors. Consular officers will verify to the extent possible that applicants have adequate financial support to prevent them becoming a public charge in the United States. Public charge means that someone is likely to be primarily dependent on the U.S. government for subsistence.
 
Only the officer who handles your case can say whether this will affect your ability to sponsor, but it seems to me to be a foolish choice all around, especially considering that your reasoning for it seems to be, "eh, why not?"

If I were you, I’d focus on getting some education or skills to be able to find jobs that pay living wages.   

Update: It just went from Refused to Administrative Processing in the CEAC Stat Tracker. Same day. 

I only wish I hadn't sent in the biometrics fee with my application as of course it is "nonrefundable"! 

Checked my status and got this today:

Informed Delivery says I'm getting a letter from USCIS (Potomac SC) today to tell me my previous biometrics are being reused and that I don't have to go in for an appointment. I already know this because the message is clearly visible under the address on the front of the letter. I would be more annoyed about their incompetence if I wasn't so grateful that I don't have to make future travel plans around a possible appointment! 

Same here. Was being able to read it from informed delivery. Glad they reused my finger prints too haha

Husbands package received Dec 2 and we are at Potomac Center. Got word today fingerprints being used from AOS. Least that’s done!

Yes likely it will. My husband was denied entry on an ESTA while we were waiting on his K1 visa. It was brought up at his screening when he came over with his K1. They asked, he gave info, all was good. 

I know the feeling! That's how we were. Good luck to you! Our packet was delivered Dec 2 (we overnighted ours). We got our text on Dec 6 and NOA Dec 13. 

Hello! Joining the December filers forum. My window to submit was on December 3rd. Sent it today via USPS.
Goodluck to all of us

No it does not. 

Yes this seems to be the case. You can’t get a time frame if assigned to MSC for the I 751. It’s back to the waiting game! 

SuznAaron mentioned above that this appears to be the case. Although based on the thread lurking that I've done recently, people who applied in late 2019 are only now getting interviews, so we have quite a wait ahead of us.

Our packet was delivered on 12/2. We got the Text on 12/6 and check cashed on 12/7. NOA received in the mail on 12/13. 

Received the husbands 24 month extension letter today from Potomac. 

They change it to an electronic check and it was only a couple of days.

Yes it stated that they will reuse my pass byometrics and fingerprints etc
 
 
Received NOA ( Dec. 4th) that the biometrics appt was waived and they will reuse past biometrics. We are also at the Potomac office.... This seemed fairly quick as well. Keep our fingers crossed it continues to be quick.
 

Plenty of colleges to transfer to if you really want to save your marriage.

Fingers crossed it will! Enjoy your family time!

Thanks! I’m visiting my family for the holidays so I won’t be able to check my mail this month and can’t get the text either that’s why  hopefully it shows in my account next week!
