JKLSemicolon replied to jayjayk's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Correct, by looking at casestatusext and doing a little spreadsheet math. -

It looks like you are part of the ~3.4 percent of the cases filed in September 2024 that have been approved. Congrats. -

JKLSemicolon replied to P055UM's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

Extensions frequently In previous threads where people applied for an extension it can take over a year to receive a response in some cases. If that response is a denial (the only such examples I have seen here) then the additional overstay could lead to a bar or many of the other problems already mentioned.

I-751 Requirements
JKLSemicolon replied to SM38's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Starting with the form instructions which I think are always the most important source: On the form itself the information about your children is in Part 5. Using the section for Child 1 as an example, we filled it out like this: 1.a,b,c. N/A 2. N/A 3. Leave blank since it says (if any) 4,5. Leave blank since they are yes/no questions 6.a. N/A 6.b. Leave blank since they are checkboxes 6.c. N/A 6.d. Leave blank since it is a dropdown 6.e,f,g,h. N/A Repeat for the remaining fields in that section (Child 2-5). My feeling is that it is better to fill out the form using N/A where appropriate since 1) the instructions say to do that and 2) it makes it obvious that you intentionally completed each section rather than omitting it. On the questions above, note the use of N/A rather than “none” since they aren’t asking for a numerical answer (e.g. number of children). If following the instructions as written you’ll find that “none” is rarely needed. -
ROC: Biometrics Appointment
JKLSemicolon replied to Sabela's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Agree that an electronic copy of the notice should be posted there before the paper notice arrives. -
I read the part of @OldUser’s post about “being prepared to be placed in removal proceedings” as referring to the case, i.e. if one misses a biometrics appointment and never follows up, reschedules, etc., USCIS could deny the case and prepare for removal proceedings. It was specifically mentioned as the worst-case scenario and I don’t read it as telling you to prepare for that yourself; the emphasis was on what you could do to prevent that from happening, which you then did. That you were fortunately able to follow up before something like a case denial happened does not mean that someone was wrong in pointing out what could have happened otherwise.

Bulky I-751 Application
JKLSemicolon replied to Blessyme's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Those are good options. We sent ours Priority Mail Express and if you use a USPS box I would recommend that. If using a different service you may need to cover up the USPS print. -
Bulky I-751 Application
JKLSemicolon replied to Blessyme's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
After you find a box close to the size of your packet, a thin roll of bubble wrap and some long (not necessarily thick) rubber bands would be enough to protect it in transit. We sent monthly statements for everything and on some credit cards if we didn’t use them and no statement was generated for a particular month, we put a sheet in its place specifying that. To me, leaving out months just creates an information gap and makes it harder for the adjudicator to connect the dots. I agree with @OldUser that the form instructions are pretty clear on this. Even though we prepared our own packet, we did consult with a reputable attorney before submitting just to make sure we were on the right track and he also recommended including all evidence. Edit: I wouldn’t be concerned about anyone not being able to open a taped box. I’m sure you can find a way to tape it so that nothing gets opened or damaged in transit while also being able to open the package with the appropriate tool. -
Bulky I-751 Application
JKLSemicolon replied to Blessyme's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
We sent our ROC packet, with over 800 pages of evidence, lightly wrapped in plastic wrap in a box and without any fasteners, labels, etc. Each section was separated with a different colored cover sheet and we put footers on all pages that include both the section title and ”page [#] of [total]”. Our reasoning was to make it as easy as possible to separate and scan without things getting mixed up. As far as the question of quantity and quality, we went by the form instructions which state to “submit copies of as many documents as you can…to demonstrate the circumstances of the relationship from the date of the marriage to the present date”. -

Tourist Visa for Mother in Law from Philippines
JKLSemicolon replied to DELTAFOXTROT's topic in Tourist Visas
Not trying to nitpick but from a CO’s perspective (who sees things through the lens of everyone tourist visa applicant having possible immigrant intent), saying that she will be living at your house has a very different meaning than saying that she will be staying at your house when she visits. -
Tourist Visa for Mother in Law from Philippines
JKLSemicolon replied to DELTAFOXTROT's topic in Tourist Visas
When did you go to this interview? Your VisaJourney timeline needs to be filled out. Regardless, usually K1 interviews are done by the Immigrant Visa section of the consulate as opposed to the Nonimmigrant Visa section that handles B2s, and they would not necessarily follow the same practices. -
In addition to the other answers and advice in this thread, you will both benefit greatly from studying the I-751 instructions and making sure you fully understand them: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-751instr.pdf The instructions contain the answer to your original question and for this type of information it’s usually best to go straight to the source.

VISA process is driving me bananas
JKLSemicolon replied to Cranberry_anon's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
The fact that they asked you to translate your Irish birth certificate, without giving the direct source of what documents are acceptable as @crazycat did and without providing more details on what translations are accepted as @Marieke H did, which then led you to start this thread venting your frustrations, is a big clue. -

Many people on Reddit are reporting the same issue, I would just wait and try again later. -
