Submitted my N-400 on Saturday 02/17. I found the receipt and biometrics reuse on my account right away. I'm in Wisconsin. Luck everyone!!!

I don't think so because I'm not receiving any election pamphlets or ballot in the mail, unlike my husband. I also made sure NOT to check the box for voter registration last time I renewed my license.
But I'll check to be sure, thanks for the tip!

"I work for the Registrar of Voters in my county. We see a lot of people coming into the office to cancel their voting registration and to obtain proof that they never voted. We also process letters from USCIS requesting the same info.
Registration records are public record in my state. You can also simply search the county's website with house number, zip code, date of birth and it will show registration info and even when they registered.
NOTE: IN MY STATE THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED MOTOR VOTER; which is a program that makes registering to vote at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) more convenient. In this case, unfortunately sometimes people dont read carefully and accidentally register to vote. HOWEVER, THERE WAS A GLITCH A COUPLE OF YRS AT CERTAIN LOCATIONS AND IT CAUSED AUTOMATIC REGISTRATIONS. In this case, that's included in the letter. I am unsure if it makes a difference to USCIS, since we dont hear from those individuals after.
You dont lose anything by calling your county registrar of voters to see if such thing happened there.
Also, people called "circulators" get people to register to sign petitions and go as far as filling out the registration forms for them. Circulator's info is at the bottom of form. In this case, it could be argued that voter was misinformed etc..."

Me too! Just checked and they were reused last Friday

Check was cashed on the 23rd

We sent our application via FedEx on 2/14/2023 to Elgin Lockbox....exactly the 90 day mark. Got notification 2/17/2023 that credit card was declined. Thank you Discover for flagging the purchase as fraud! Their approach was have the vendor resubmit. Here's to another chunky fee to FedEx the package again, once we get it back! Definitely will send a check this time (did credit card because thought it would move faster...I stand corrected!) and should be good to move forward. Good luck everybody!!!

Hello!
Today I sent my package through USPS. Good luck everyone!!!

Hello February Crew -
I couldn't find a thread for February filers yet, so I created one. I got the reminder letter from USCIS today. My Greencard expires on 5/20. The filing date calculator on the USCIS website is not working for me but I plan on mailing my package on 2/18 (Saturday). At this moment, I am just collecting evidence and printing a lot of documents. I am happy to share the content of my package once I am done. So far, our process has been really smooth (K1 all the way through AOS without any RFE), so fingers crossed that does not change. 
Here's to waiting.... Again 🍷

Hi folks,
 
I figured we might have some people also gearing up to submit in January who want to get ahead of things before the holidays. I'll be submitting the second week of January and planning to send the following evidence:
 
I-751 G-1145 $680 filing fee check A copy of the Permanent Resident Card of the beneficiary (front and back)
A copy of petitioner’s US passport and birth certificate
A copy of beneficiary’s passport 
Copy of marriage certificate
Copy of drivers licenses
Joint leases
Bank statements of joint checking, and savings accounts
Bank statements of joint credit card
Utility bills showing joint address (electricity, internet)
Car and home insurance policy documents
Beneficiary statements of retirement and investment accounts
Tax return transcripts, married filing jointly (2020 and 2021)
Photographs
 
Definitely not excited to be back in the waiting line of all things USCIS, but hoping there's a tiny chance I sneak into the "risk based" new approach which seems to have been lightning fast for some posters.
 
Good luck to all other January filers!

My case was approved! Posting my timeline in case somebody find it useful. Thank for sharing information throughout the journey. Good luck to everyone.

Interview was waived.
June 2021 - Green card delivered.
June 2021 - New Card Is Being Produced
May 2021 - Request for additional evidence - not the medical.
February 2021 - Biometrics appt.
July 2020 - Form I-485 was transferred to another office for processing.
July 2020 Forms I-765 & I-131 (combo card) approved (before biometrics).
June 2020 - Form I-140 approved (premium processing).
June 2020 - Form I-140 is being processed at our Nebraska Service Center location (premium processing).
June 2020 - USCIS received I-485, I-131, I-765, I-140 (concurrently) - including medical.

K-2 should be issued within 12* months of the K-1 visa being printed: https://fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FAM050207.html "Time Limit for Child of K-1 Fiancé(e): USCIS and the Department have agreed that the child of a K-1 principal alien may be accorded K-2 status if following to join the principal alien in the United States even after the principal alien has married the U.S. citizen fiancé́(e), and acquired Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status. However, the cutoff date for issuance of a K-2 visa is one year from the date of the issuance of the K-1 visa to the principal alien. For the purpose of calculating the one-year period, the date of printing shall be considered the date of issuance. After one year, the U.S. citizen petitioner or the alien, (prior K-1 visa holder), if qualified, must file an immediate relative or second preference petition for the K-1's child. With the exception of paragraph (d) below, no additional exceptions are possible."
 
*for certain applicants that were affected by the Pandemic it's 18 months: "(d) Temporary Extension of Time Limit for Certain K-2 Applicants/Visa holders Child During COVID-19 Pandemic from 12 Months to 18 Months"

Yes, it's possible to apply for K2 after the K1 visa holder has already entered the US, assuming the child was listed in the I-129F petition and the child is below 21 years old.  That's the K2 follow-to-join process.
 
But the family needs to start the K2 visa application process as soon as possible because the K2 visa can only be issued within 1 year of the mother's K1 visa issue date.  After 1 year, the child cannot get a K2 visa anymore.  An I-130 petition must be filed to begin the child's immigrant visa process.
 

We had a relaxed 20-25 interview yesterday. We were APPROVED! A couple of hours later status changed to New card is being produced  Thanks for all your help! ❤️
