It is also possibility to get the waive the interview once they dont have question?

Everything is possible.

3/4/2021 - I missed Interview...

3/5/2021 - Went to USCIS office in person w/o an appointment , informed officer interview letter was delay in mail delivery ... they escorted me out.....

3/6/2021 - Received Denial of Petition to Remove Conditions THE NEXT DAY!  (USCIS acts so fast when they deny it, but getting approve takes foreverrrrr)

3/8/2021 - Went to USCIS office in person w/o an appointment again. Request to speak w/ supervisor for another interview. Got another interview AT THE SPOT... I didn't bring any supporting documents  w/ me.. only driver license & passport..... wasn't expected an interview... So the supervisor interviewed me, and when he asked for original documents... I was like... Can I come back in 2 hours... and you already have all the copies... lol Then he was like yes copy is fine... I got approved AT THE SPOT. Interview was short and easy. He knows that I was super anxious and sad b/c denial situation.

@Mobius1 hey, thank you! No I didn’t change the address. Well my attorney gets usually the originals but when they received the 24months ext letter they did not tell me cause the dumb dumb assistant thought that it was only a random copy 🤦‍♀️ like do you even read the notices USCIS sends? I found out cause they sent me the copy and called her and she didn’t even noticed it was an extension  of 24 months instead of 18 💩. 
yeah I have an USCIS account but they did it even updated it when I went to my fingerprint appointment on December 2021 😟 but like you said they don’t always update the account. 
Also, fun fact when I received the biometric appointment notice my attorney did not receive it. Or at least that’s what I was told. But the notice they sent for the biometric me was the original one and not a copy so maybe, for once, the assistant was right lol.

BTW the last time I called there was another assistant picking up the phone so maybe the dumbdumb doesn’t work there anymore hopefully 🎉 🎉 

Hi Leila, My apologies for super late reply. I changed my address once, never miss any important mail. Once you change address online, It updates in USCIS system immediately. Officer didn't ask why I change address at interview. 

Here is my timeline:

Hello i submitted the RFE answer and updated to received my answer and then updated to transferred another office. Do you know it is normal process to transfer other office? It is because of interview process?

Thank you for your help @God is a good God

Mine took 6 months. Another office will final review your case. If they still have any questions, might either ask for RFE additional evidence / explanation, or ask you questions at interview. Be prepare and have copy of all documents submitted.

Hi there,

 

A friend of mine is about to file ROC for her hubby in April.

Here's the situation - She and hubby has been living with her parents to save money for a house  (which hasn't happened) since hubby came in 2019 (CR-1). Now that they're filing ROC, she's realizing they don't have much together (no lease/mortgage, bills, etc.) since everything is in her parents' name. They have joint account and a few other things like health insurance.

 

But I thought to myself that This is a situation where a sworn affidavit from the parents would help (tho we both know it is one of the weaker evidences)

 

@JFH @payxibka @Lucky Cat and anyone else- I recall someone posting a sample affidavit template a while back.

Can someone point me to that so I can send to friend?

 

Thank you!

My situation is same as your fd. I don't have lease agreement, mortgage, car insurance, bill, etc. I got approved.

I submitted 7 affidavits from our mutual friends, family members, and coworker.

When submitting an affidavit, don't forget to enclose copies of parent's id, and photo of couple and the parents together

I am a month shy of six years, so yeah 

I was hopeless the last time I went to USCIS. I did not bring anything w/ me.... When supervisor asked to see docs, I was freaked out.  I don't have anything to show him. But luckily all copies are in my case that I submitted.

There is NOTHING you can do at this time.

STOP STRESSING OVER SOMETHING YOU CANNOT CONTROL.

I can almost feel you driving yourself mad and bouncing off the walls. 

You may be approved. You may be denied.

DEAL WITH IT IF AND WHEN IT HAPPENS. 

You remain a permanent resident at this time. If you receive a denial letter 1) you remain a permanent resident until such time as an immigration judge determines otherwise and 2) you can refile.

YOU HAVE RIGHTS UNDER LAW AS A LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENT.

 

I am on day 7 of a marathon session of researching and preparing something re: USCIS because I CAN do something with my present situation and the developments in the past few weeks, but for the past 3 years (N-400) and 3.5 years (I-751 #2) aside from case processing time enquires and senator enquires I have done very little, because it was out of my control.

 

Wasting energy and causing stress to yourself over something you cannot control is not healthy man, take it from someone who bounced off the walls for 2.5 years during my I-751 #1 

I feel your pain.

It took me 6 years. lol

I am just afraid to don’t push them to to to much, Interview happened and moving on case happened because I sued them to federal court, so I am not sure if I show up there in person again, non invited will do any good except putting more pressure to them and risking somebody gets real pissed and deny me for being annoying...I am so far 5 days into waiting after interview, case tracker is useless asf tool, they didn’t even update that interview is performed, it still shows fingerprints done on July 2019 😒 

I push them twice a week. They did not get annoyed coz every time when I go, its different people working there. LOL I dropped off the same package ( supporting doc I mentioned previously) every visit and take down the person's name, time, and date whom I spoke to and took the package. I was so glad that I kept on pushing them. The supervisor told me, He was just reviewing my case yesterday. when I hand over the same package to him reminds him immediately. And gave me a decision on the spot. Before that I did not get a chance to speak to the supervisor. 

Don't be afraid to ask them. But ask them nicely, if they tell you to go home, drop off the package to the supervisor.

Hi all! 
May husband got notification that his citizenship interview is scheduled for April 8. Two days later he got another letter that his removal of conditions interview is scheduled for April 12. How is this normally handled? Should we call the contact center?  Thanks! 
 

Follow what it says, go w/ your husband on citizenship interview and bring all docs regards I-751. It is possible they might give your husband a combo interview. Another possibility, N-400 decision will be on hold after your husband gain for 10 yrs GC.

We had our I571 interview back in January and were really stressed after receiving the notice saying that our case was being held for review, but after a few days, our case status changed to "New Card Being Produced" and after a few weeks, my wife received her 10year permanent residence green card.  But a few days ago, we received ANOTHER notice saying that we are scheduled for our initial I751 interview in April! The notice date is months after we received the green card so I'm not sure what the heck is going on.  We already had this interview and we already received our green card??? Is this a mistake?? I'm going to call USCIS on Monday, obviously, to try and get to the bottom of it, but has anyone run into this??

I agreed, just ignored. Did you get an update about approval letter? You should be receiving a letter of approval of RAC before 10 yrs GC.

Me and my husband live with our inlaws in a joint family as a part of our culture like many others. My fil takes care of bills and groceries. We don't pay for any bills. But the question is do I need to submit a proof that it's his house? Although I am sending water and gas bills like one or two and they state his name on them. 

I am in same situation. My case just got approved 2 weeks ago.

If I was the officer, I would question that you and your husband living there for free? It doesn't sound convincing.

Here is what I submitted regards proof of living together.

- affidavit of fil stating that relationship btw the couple and house owner,  from what date the couple moved in together, what does the couple pay, and how much is expensive, bank statement w/ living expense (bills, groceries, reduced rent)

- copy of house owner id

- last 3 months utility bills that has house owner's name on it.

- copies of rent receipt from the date the couple moved in

- pics of house owner and the couple together

*** submitting a proof of house ownership doesn't prove that the couple living together. USCIS doesn't care where the couple live. They want to see evidence of the couple living together since got married.

My interview was on March 16th maybe it’s too soon to call what do you think? 

You have very strong evidence for your case according to what you said IMO. Don't panic or drive yourself crazy if you get deny. If I were you, I would definitely challenge USCIS decision. If you could write down some main pts (Q&A) abt the interview, could be helpful if thing didn't go in your favor. Of course, I hope you get approved. But personally,  I always wanted to be prepared for the worst scenario. 

I think you will get a decision sooner if you go in person. I NEVER got any updates from online or phone.

Jacksonville field office, I mean I don’t plan any trip until that is done anyways, so no real reason to expedite it except the reason that they are dragging me since April 2018 with this petition, it’s ridiculous 

ok. Mine is in NYC. I really hope you will get an approval letter in mail soon!!!!! You are almost there!!!!!💪

They are pressed by Mandamus case to give me the decision by mail, I just wonder will they wait last date possible to give the decision or will they even ask for 60 days more time...cause I really doubt they will actually expedite it and will rather let me lose my mind waiting 

If you have good reason, you could ask them to expedite it. I know few ppl have done it and approved on the spot. Again, you have to speak w/ the supervisor. Where is your local immigration office?

same situation, it was 1 yr for me. 

Just now, Srdan said:

I am thinking and trying to justify that long grilling, she was actually upset that she is getting right answers and the right dates even about events 3-4-5 years ago...either she questioned much because she didn’t have time to study the case or she was just vindictive because of Mandamus

I remembered when I got I-485 interview, I was also being told need more time to review the case, and I should be getting a decision within 1 week.

If your case isn't update online. I would give it 2 weeks for mail delivery. If you still didn't hear back from USCIS, I strongly suggest you to go in person. Ask to speak with supervisor for your case update and attach w/ docs above. 

All staffs told me to wait at home, check status online, bah.bah..bah..... You and I both know USCIS Online doesn't work. LOL 

But I insisted to speak w/ supervisor. I asked 5 staffs and almost got kick out..... 🙄

7 minutes ago, Srdan said:

I gave them all of that, plenty of proof, got my interview on march 16th and been told after 1h45min that she still needs some more time to go through documents...I don’t know yet I might get approved and might get denied, just was telling the grilling was terrible experience...don’t know how much should wait more, my case tracker is still stuck in fingerprints done on July 2019 lol, didn’t even change to interview scheduled, performed, etc so I am checking it now but don’t know should I even expect any change there

I gave them all that prior to the interview day also. I still got a denial. Instead of going thru motion to reopen, I am writing to the supervisor for reconsideration and reopen the case. I truly hope you won't need to do this.

I think your case will most likely to get approved. Seems like the officer just wanted to find something to deny your case but you are very confident abt your previous marriage. Or another possibility is that office did not study your case prior the interview.

I filled my joint i751 on April 2018, in February 2019 got divorced and only communication were fingerprints in almost 3 years of time, so in January 2021 I decided to go Mandamus route after numerous tries to kick the case with congressman ombudsman etc...So once I filled mandamus in January 2021 I got interview set in February 2021 for March 16, attended it and was grilled for 1h45minutes, after it had a hard feeling that I am actually a human being, she told me at the end that she still needs some more time and that will inform via mail about the decision, my case tracker is stuck ever since in fingerprints done on July 22, 2019, bottom line feeling miserable after all this bs, plenty of proof, entered 100% my marriage in good faith, got cheated by ex wife and mutual friend at that time, she stayed pregnant that’s why we divorced...on top of all that misery they kept me another 2 years lingering in that past life, if I didn’t sue them who know when I would actually get moving, so was left with Mandamus as the only option and got grilled like I am a criminal

I am very sorry to hear that. Totally feel your pain. 

I was in the similar situation, filed joint I-751 on Mar 2019, got divorced on Oct 2019. I contacted congresswomen etc, spoken to 2nd tier officer every month. I missed interview on Mar 4 2021. rec‘d Denial letter on Mar 6 2021. I went in person to local Immigration office twice a week, submitted additional docs, affidavits, addressed to the supervisor. No one was willing to help me in the office. But I never gave up, until I speak to the supervisor on March 12, 2021. Supervisor reviewed my case, and got approved on the spot.  

My suggestion:

- Write a letter to your local Immigration office and explain your situation (how did you got married, how did your marriage ended) and attach w/ strongest supporting doc again (pics -indicate date and captions each photo from beginning to the end, marriage Certificate, divorce paper,  lease agreement, joint bank acct etc)

- Affidavits from mutual friends

good luck!

I am not an attorney. I am just sharing my personal experience.

I was in the similar situation 2 weeks ago.

I requested rescheduling an interview prior to the interview day 3/4/2021. However, I received denial letter on 3/6/21 due to no show.

I had 2 options to resolve this issue. 

1. File motion to reopen; I have to pay application fee +  attorney 

2. Go in person to interview office, and speak with the supervisor asap

So I went in person whiling preparing for motion to reopen (I only have 30 days to file since denial letter was written)

Luckily, I get this resolved by submitting evidence for rescheduling and written response regards denial letter + an affidavit. 

I had went in person 2 times a week, just try to speak with the supervisor and submit docs. 

If you willing to risk denial of your case and potentially 1 - 2 years delay on your case, you could consider it. 

You do not choose the day for interview. It will become a bigger issue if you missed the second interview. GL
