  1. Thanks
    asleepydoctor reacted to K1visaHopeful in Filed Dec 2023, No Response after RFE yet and now AP, is this normal? [merged threads]   
    No.
    The AOS I864 documents for your financial sponsors that you filed prior is "wrong"/filled out incorrectly/will not be accepted. That's why you got an RFE in the first place.
    They are an I864 PACKAGE because you have more than one sponsor.  Start your I864 package over from scratch. 
     
    All new I864's and *I864a (*if you have to use an I864a because you cannot prove separate income for the JS and their spouse. If you CAN prove separate income never use the JS's spouse as a co-sponsor because the less sponsors the better due to less complications/ paperwork/ chance of confusion is always better. PS it's very easy to prove separate income for employed ppl with their income statements regardless if they filed joint taxes. The I864 instructions explain that. Ensure you've read them. #1 A married JS should always use income only never assets*) AND all new supporting financial documents with CURRENT info.
     
    The current tax year IS 2023 as of April 15th and you are responding to the RFE after April 15th. 2022 is not the current tax year. So while you used 2022 taxes before because it was the current tax year, your adjudicator may or may not choose to allow it now. It's up to you but I'd always follow the route with the less chance of getting it wrong considering we know what is current right now. 
    You aren't going to confuse them if you produce a CORRECT and COMPLETE Financial Support package for all of your sponsors especially when you outline your new submission with the changes on your COVERLETTER. 
    Spell out exactly what is different and that you are starting over with a whole new package to avoid confusion. 
    Start over.

    I485, I131 and I765 can only be filed by mail therefore their responses to RFEs should be paper filed by mail as well. Regardless if you are able to respond online, it doesn't mean you are eligible to file online. Until USCIS updates their instructions, paper filed petitions should have paper filed RFEs responses. I stand by that strongly. 
    You should mail your corrected BUT COMPLETE response.
    Correct. Thank you for updating your timeline. 
    The current wait is that for AP so everything right here:
    Doesn't matter. You can expect 12.5 plus months for 80% of all cases and more for the remaining 20%. Anything less is a gift.
    Which is normal. They don't fingerprint for I131.
    Combo cards are rare. 
     
    Processing times are for each form at each SC or LFO.
    You can enquire online for EACH form when it tells you that you are eligble for THAT form type.
    Yvw!

    Sounds about right as they are now separate processes and no longer offer combo cards.
    Sponsor: own I864
    Joint Sponsor: own I864
    Joint Sponsor's Spouse (if you are using their income too or you cannot prove seperate incomes): I864a
     
    If you submitted an I864a for your Joint Sponsor instead of an I864, you're likely waiting for another RFE (or NOID) which could be an indication of the extended wait. 
     
    What is the processing times for AP at your SC (which is the NBC for AP) according to the USCIS processing times website as listed on all receipt notices? That's your estimated wait. 
    We could help you figure that out but you stopped filling out your VJ timeline before your K1 was even approved. 
    Please return to it and fill it out as that info helps us to answer you and is also used to calculate approval statistics for VJ members. 
     
    When you received your RFE and when others were approved is irrelevant. You can only go by the website's estimate as that's only when you are allowed to enquire.
    What does it say when you input your case details into the website?
     
    Foreign passports can be applied for while in the US.
    Death of a parent, sibling or child is the most common reason for expedite and a chance at approval.

    asleepydoctor got a reaction from AndiB in Number of cases processed hit new high!   
    as far as i know they got the number on the spreadsheet by scanning cases manually, which could lead to some errors. 
    if by end of september there were 55k cases according to USCIS and 7-8k were processed so far, someone with an NOA1 of Oct1 2022 should have around 47k cases ahead of them. 
    So either we're missing something or the 38k number is inaccurate.

    asleepydoctor got a reaction from Anna Hessler in Number of cases processed hit new high!   
    Totally agreed
    I just wanted to add that not only have they started with November, people with NOA1s at the end of November and even early December have heard back. So we're definitely getting shorter wait times but also its such a large range of varying wait times between people (from 16 - 13 months) so the USCIS will only report the shorter wait times when they become a bit more uniform, imo. 
    I hope that's a bit of positivity your way

    Yess you should probably do that soon, it takes a couple of months for them to get visas too, so better be prepared for the best case scenario too!

    I look at the Oct filers etc forum posts here, people usually post a daily summary of how many cases were updated (approved, denied, rfe etc). I also look at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/15hiSOTm85W1CG6c0jzQ8B7lXLo1JEwsWKr3zIszC2Zg/htmlview# but this updates slower and I don't think includes rfes. Which makes sense as an rfe doesn't remove it from the backlog.

    Your number is going up because it's based on visajourney users timelines averaged over last 30days or something so that's what they're *currently* processing at. For times to go down they need to process over 800 a week, every week. It will also take awhile for an increase in processing to have an effect on our estimates. It's not instant.  Also if they're only removing 10-100 out of the backlog every week that's honestly not a lot and won't have a drastic affect on time estimates. It's good news because it means times won't keep going up in the future and will eventually come down but it's not going to happen tomorrow. Their increase in processing is mostly seen by fact the USCIS processing hasn't increased and is unlikely to. It used to go up at least 0.5months every month.

    I’ve considered this myself a few times, but you would be starting over from scratch. From filing to visa in hand, it’s roughly 18 months right now for a CR-1. (About 10 months for the initial approval, but the NVC and interview process can be quite a bit longer). But you would avoid the whole AOS chaos.
    Sticking with your K-1 will get you to the USA quicker at this point, but it’s a personal preference if switching to the CR-1 would be worth it since you’ll be able to travel and work right away.

    CR1 is a much more superior visa. It would take about the same time

    Currently it’s about 15.5 months for an approval on a I-129f, which will put you around November approval. Then you have to consider the NVC stage and depending on your embassy, it could be an additional month or two for an interview.
