IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	I-130 Denied! USCIS mistake?	They said a passport-like photo, with an inch from bottom to chin or something like that, but never the total size. Also the denial reason is that in fact we respond them but, failed to submit the application G-325 A and the picture. Checking with our agency we made sure that, yes, we actually sent everything, and also the application for the visa at the front. So it looks that they might skipped checking the rest of the documents. it would take a month for your items to arrive to your folder from the service center. if you fail to include the rfe notice (blue paper) with your items, then it find itself to your folder in another two months.	unlockingsky	Male	China	2012-09-19 12:13:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	I GOT MY INTERVIEW!!!!! Yay!!!	Hey,   Thanks for the update. I will check that out. But honestly, I don't know why people assume that Afghanistan will always get AP. I have two friends here, who had their spouses come on a CR-1 Visa. They are US Citizens and been living here since the past 15-30 years.  And they had no Administrative Processing.    Pre 9-11 there was most likely no AP, most likely you could get it. Just focus on passing the interview. Good luck	moroccogirlny	Female	Morocco	2013-07-13 11:15:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	MENA, Casablanca Morocco -Second interview with a second 221(g)	Boiler is correct.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	We got Expedited and Approved!! My Words of Advice	This all feels surreal, but our Visa is issued and will be in our Hands this Thursday. My love will POE on 7/28 with me at JFK. My Journey took a total of 9 months, if it wasn't for VJ I wouldn't have been able to do this, thank you to all that have answered my questions and I am here to help the best that I can. I want to give a special shout out to my girls, Nat, Carmen, Yoly, Chris, Dani, Mery, Teny, Yanil, Gabby, Alba, Dee, Laurie, Lisa, Lili, Ana, Lani and Vane. We have kept each other sane and supported each other through the hardest of time without this group of ladies. I wouldn't have been able to stay emotionally connected to this. The journey is long but if you build your support system strong you can do it. I can't wait to begin OUR next chapter with my Love. Good Luck to everyone and remember persistence and patience is key! Omg and My Queya can't wait for our hubbies to meet in the NYC!! Sooooo happy for you too!!!! 9 months seems like forever but once he's here it will become just a difficult memory!!! I'm in MY too. Maybe once mine is here he can meet all these other Dominican transplants too???? I'm worried about the transition for him. Lol poor guys. A lil culture shock to say the least. I'm considering moving even to Washington Heights to help him. I'm feeling that bad for him!!! But I don't want the long train ride to midtown to/from every day.	impatientNYC	Female	Dominican Republic	2014-07-25 06:23:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	June 2012 I-130 Filers?	Hi all the June filers!!! I filed I130,485,765 by end of June. Issue date of NOA1 was June 28. I did my biometrics on July 18. Now my cases are still showing that "It was accepted June 28........balabala" I havent even received my EAD yet. But I heard normally after you did ur bio, it should gets approved in 4 weeks. Now my I765 is approaching 6 weeks. I guess I should give them a call. But I dont think it helps at all. Also I live in NY, and it shows that my case is being processed at National Benefit Center, is it slower? Looks like you guys are all being processed at either Cali, or Vermont. So I assume they will transfer the case later anyway but it's just so frustrating waiting and checking out other people's timeline........ Anyway, good luck to everybody!!!	imwithu	Female	China	2012-08-27 15:36:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	My Biometrics Walk In Experience - Varick St. New York	Moved from Dallas to New York with my wife in September.    Sent I -751 Package on October 9th to Vermont Service Center (a day after the filing window opened for us). I was a bit stressed by that since I calculated 3 months, not 90 days. January 6th is the expiration date of my current Green-Card. It's good to use a day/time calculator to correctly determine when your window actually opens.    Package was mailed Priority Certified, meant to arrive in two days but it got there in five, rerouted through Maine and then back through Boston. I guess closing hundreds of USPS centers caused that.    Check for US Dept. of Homeland Security cleared on Oct 17th.    Received Receipt Notice on October 19th (dated Oct 15). extending GC for one year.    Received biometrics appointment on Oct 25th for Nov 15th scheduling.    So far so good.    The fun began when I did my early walk in today at a different office than the one listed on the biometrics appointment letter. Even though the ASC Office I was assigned to is very close to where I live in Brooklyn (about 15 blocks away) I decided to go to the Varick Street Office in Lower Manhattan. That was a big mistake and I will regret it at least until I hopefully get my conditions removed. I decided to go this office after reading on several forums that it is the least busy one in the middle of the week. There was more info about positive walk in experiences than any other office in the City so I decided to go in the afternoon as recommended. I had lunch with my wife downtown and merrily headed to Varick St. for fingerprinting. What's the worse that could happen? being turned down, right?    I passed by security downstairs, security upstairs. I asked if it is ok to walk in. Everyone was nice and courtious and told me to follow the yellow brick road. Upon arriving in front of the main processing desk, I asked if the walk in is ok. I counted 6, 7 other people waiting to have their fingerprints taken so i figured not busy. The lady took my paper work and told me to wait in a separate line. My legit excuse was personal enough?including travel plans.    Not even five minutes later the manager, or should I say the governor of that office came over and that's when s&^ hit the fan. Instead of simply saying No and turning me around he went through a whole questioning of why am I there, why I am not at the closest center, where did I get the info about walk-ins, why do I read things on forums and blogs instead of referring to the government website, where does it say on paper about walk-ins, where does it say on the government website about walk-ins, where's my plane ticket for my trip (i'm driving), why am I reading unofficial stuff online, again. A completely abusive, pompous and inconsistent mindf&$% of the likes of which I've never seen in a long time?that had me bow my head in shame while trying not to lose my mind and/or temper.  I wouldn't have minded a straight forward NO but in all his almighty goodness this Governor/King of this office decided he'll do me the courtesy of having me fingerprinted.  In my mind - and now that I think about it I might have also mumbled something - I wanted to ask for my paperwork back and pretend I was never there but I felt that would open another can of worms.    When I told him there are hundreds of forum posts about walk ins and dozens mentioning Varick he was of course quite surprised, and considered them to be nonsense. Further on he mentioned something as in he built the USCIS website so he knows everything on it and told me the office was working at full capacity anyways. As I said there were 6 people in front of me and by the time the conversation ended I was literally the only person left. If that is working at full capacity than that guy should go more often to the DMV or any coffee shop on that block.    He also asked me - if my trip was so important- why not come after the date listed on my Biometrics Appointment. I told him the biometrics letter clearly states that would mean my I-751 application will be considered abandoned by USCIS, To this replied I'd have 87 days to sort it out?.a bit of a crazy statement that probably meant "no worries, once your I-751 is dismissed you can hire a lawyer or pay some more hundreds of $ and try to reopen the case?what are you stressing about?"    Anyhow after all that he said he'll take care of me?but by then that did not sound reassuring at all. The rest of the process went fine. I completed the paperwork. A very nice lady did the fingerprinting and she was most kind and I'd say even comforting. I think the lady felt genuinely sorry for the whole roast I had to go through. I did have to ask her if this whole scene will jeopardize, mess up my green-card application process. Obviously their office has nothing to do with USCIS other than fingerprints so it was sort of a lame question. She answered back with a rhetorical one, pretty much saying it doesn't matter where you do your fingerprinting, all ASC offices are under the same system (the guy mentioned they'll have to change something in the system to have me scanned there- but I  tend to believe that should be an automated process given the way they scan your letter and have you sign electronically at the end of the process).   The main problem is that the Varick St. one is meant to serve only Manhattan and Staten Island residents. Brooklynites and other New Yorkers come over trying to take advantage of the not so busy days, and I was one of them. Now that explanation made perfect sense and I wish they would put it on the biometrics appointment letters or before entering the office, a la Dante's Inferno's Gates disclosure ?Abandon hope all ye who enter here."     On the way out the guy was watching me, pretty much in "have you learned your lesson?" mode. I told him i will never read forums or blogs again. I did not promise him that I will write this rant.  That guy will either go home tonight thinking he actually helped a person, or he'll go home telling himself "Oh, I f7^ed another one today real good.I'm so proud of serving my country and making people feel like?"     So when it comes to walk-ins experiences may vary. Now I am stressing about having complicated the application process with this walk in. I might actually cancel my trip and show up in person for fingerprinting on the date I was originally scheduled for and double check to make sure it's all ok?though probably that would be another way to mess things up.    So there you go. That's a walk in for you. I hope yours will be better or even better don't do it unless you really really really need to. One or two hours of waiting in line on the given day may be better than half an hour of how should I call it...courteous governmental abuse. In the end I got fingerprinted...what more do I want? Be treated politely after bursting in that office working at full capacity.	crisppian	Male	0	2013-11-06 16:57:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Is our evidence insufficient? Suggestions?	Thanks for your tips! I'm not sure we ll gonna do any end of life stuff yet ( it's kinda taboo for my family since we ll in our early 20s, my dad will freak out!). What are the chances of us getting an interview? Is my case too complicated that we might need a lawyer to help us file? I guess we could add his pay stubs and copy of checks that he paid the rent from his student checking? Would that help?   From previous posts it seems that interviews can be for quality control, if there's a red flag or just because. We might get an RFE because they need additional proof or because that's the USCIS way of slowing down and catching up with cases...sort of like an assembly plant slowing down production. We are trying not to freak out too much about the process even though we were very nervous at the AOS interview two years ago to begin with. I was especially nervous because my wife is older than me and thought age may make a difference. Yes pay stubs and copy of checks would be good especially if you have some from previous years. Sometimes you can order transcripts from the bank from way back when for free. I did that and as I said I highlighted some expenses that I thought would show we live together. I just signed for a Costco family membership and for sure I'll add that to a package if an RFE arrives. I would also give heads up to family and friends and forward them a sample or two of affidavits (you can find some online google-ing) in case an RFE comes and you need letters drafted and notarized quickly. End of life and medical stuff papers shouldn't freak out anyone. I am 30 and having been an international student for ten years I knew I needed to have such records on file in case of emergency. Also your bank may offer as a benefit/bonus some minimum life insurance per account  (mine did cost free) and if it does you might list your other half as beneficiary of that $1500-3000 sum. As for a lawyer - that's up to you. We filed each time without one. Seems to me that you can save yourself the trouble and money until you are called for an interview (if you get an RFE and is not enough in the end). There are various threads around this forum dealing with lawyer-ish stuff.	crisppian	Male	0	2013-11-25 14:30:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Is our evidence insufficient? Suggestions?	ALSO - a few thoughts from above that needed further attention:     We also printed bank statements hopping back three months, then another three and so on. I explained in another letter why I was added later on one account. Again i figured if they want to read it now fine, if not they'll ask us in an RFE anyway and I'll have some of these answers ready to be printed.      I followed the 3 month window by mistake (instead of 90 days) and then realized if I had sent the package one day earlier (which I could have easily done) it would have been returned. I should go back to primary school and learn which months have 30 days and which 31. They will return your package if it gets there one day early.    Make sure you make an exact copy of what you send. If you recently moved make sure you changed your address with them. The GC holder has to file AR 11 online and the sponsoring spouse has to mail and I- 865. This  I-865 is often omitted and you will not find much info about it but it is necessary. We made copies of the receipts we received and included them in the package.	crisppian	Male	0	2013-11-22 00:06:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Is our evidence insufficient? Suggestions?	Hi,    My wife and I filed for removal of conditions in October. I've been unemployed for quite a while so a lot of the evidence is one sided but I guess I am not the only one without a job in the US. Anyhow the file we sent weigh about six pounds. I guess that's how much our love weighs. we did include health insurance, IRA accounts, car insurance and tax stuff but as I said a lot of this official stuff is one sided as I've been a poor grad student in charge of a cable bill and picking up the dinner tab once in a while.    I included a few affidavits (not considered strong evidence but since we also moved thought it would be useful). but saved some in case an RFE comes. I printed out about 50-70 photos - got them copy pasted in a word document and drained a toner printing them. We both wrote notes on the side of the photos especially photos one took of the other. I also printed a bunch of conversations and chat threads between each other and correspondence/e-mails between our families in lieu of family affidavits. My mother passed away this year so there was a lot of that going on. Receipts from trips taken together were good too.    HIPAA Authorizations, living will, end of life decision making, power of attorneys- are papers that you can easily draft, sign at a notary or in front of friends. Since you moved this would be a good time to get those done. A lot of this stuff couples don't do due to laziness. I still have to get an end of life decision drafted but I'll definitely do it this month, that plus find doctors where we relocated. That will be good for an RFE down the line as well. We used a moving company since it was cross country and I printed the quotes we got on the move and the bill.   I also included letters with Dear USCIS explaining our life in the past couple of years as well as our banking situation. We have one credit card and just like you I am just a user and do not show on statements. So I included copies of our credit cards that show our names, but same account number (i used a marker and showed only the last four digits). I also printed out some credit card statements and even though the statements only show her name I highlighted purchases that I knew I made for her or for the household. I wrote on the side small notes pertaining to the purchases. At times I paired photos of a trip with those purchases. This maybe will pass as too organized and raise a red flag, but we did it because it seemed logical.    We have a dog so I also printed out the history of his grooming, who took him when and who paid. If you've been to a doctor or dentist together you can ask for a printout history that show the times you and your other half visited the office. That's good too.   Now all of this info may mean nothing in the end, may exhaust the person who reviews the case, or, and that's my hope, provide a full honest picture of our lives that will have them approve the removal on the spot.   Also remember that the office wants to see documents spanning the whole marriage if possible. I sent stuff from our honeymoon even though I also submitted some of that with the AOS application. When we had our AOS interview the officer had no clue what we submitted and had us show copies of the documents that were already in the file. That should tell you how superficial the process is in some ways, and how in the end you can submit a one pound or a six pound package and still be called for an interview for quality control, red flags, or just 'cause.    Remember the window does not open 3 months before the GC expires, BUT 90 days. Use a time and day calculator online that will tell you precisely that. They will return your package if it gets there one day early. Make sure you make an exact copy of what you send.    Also from what i know so far if you file at the Vermont Center your file will probably be directed to California in the end. That's what happened to mine and apparently to many many others about a month and a half after mailing it.    Having spent some time on lots of forums I can say there is no recipe for success, just stress, patience, hope and more stress. Good luck and excuse the length of this message.	crisppian	Male	0	2013-11-21 23:49:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	October filer - notice of case being transferred to local office. Huh?	I got the transfer letter a few days ago and it went to CSC. When I opened the letter, I just looked at it and "Oh" and filed it away with the rest of my paperwork. Never thought about it again until I saw a thread dedicated to it. You've already got the one year extension letter, so just kick back and let it ride. Good to know I'm not the only one. Got the letter in the mail the other day myself saying it was transferred to CSC. Someone on this thread also mentioned there should be another letter coming from CSC itself. I am so curious what do they do with our files in that small corner of Vermont...like how does the process goes from the day they receive it. Is it as joyful as the Ben & Jerry Factory down the road?	crisppian	Male	0	2013-11-26 23:26:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	October filer - notice of case being transferred to local office. Huh?	Hello,    Any October filers receiving notice that their CRI89 was transferred to a local office? Just got an update of this action this morning through a mobile app (regret installing it now since it made me more anxious at 9am).    From what I read so far this action either means an interview within 90 days, or either means they sent it from Vermont to CSC, or even that the application is still in Vermont.    Wondering if any of you got or will get similar letters in the next days as that would be a sign VSC is backed up.  There's a thread for the month of June that confirms lots of people received such notices.    So far I think the process went quite smoothly which obviously worries me. We also moved from Dallas to NY a month and a half before filing, so that may be enough to be called for an interview I guess. Ok, enough with building stressful scenarios in my head.  Thank you.      Oct 9 -   Mailed I-751 to VSC  Oct 18 - NOA 1 - GC one year extension Oct 22 - biometrics appointment received for Nov 15 appointment Nov 6 -   walk in Biometrics in Manhattan successful (though I wrote about that experience somewhere else on this site).  Nov 18 - Notice (looking in my USCIS case status on line): file transferred to local office  On November 18, 2013, we transferred this CRI89 PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED to another office for processing because they now have jurisdiction over the case. We sent you a notice of this transfer. Please follow any instructions on this notice. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from yo   UPDATE: I called the 1 (800) 375 - 5283 and upon entering the case status the system said the case has been forwarded to St. Albans VT where we submitted in the first place.  I guess will be waiting for the official NOA in the mail.	crisppian	Male	0	2013-11-18 14:54:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	October filer - notice of case being transferred to local office. Huh?	It simply means that your application is being transferred to a LO under the supervision of CSC as VSC is overwhelmed with lot of work. It started with May applications and almost all the applications are being routed to CSC/ LO. It will start it's normal process like all other application. Thanks. Coincidence or not, the time between fingerprinting and this latest notice is 12 days, which is about the same as the time frame between your own fingerprinting and notice of case transfer.  Well I just hope they don't lose all 5lb 6oz of paperwork i sent them.	crisppian	Male	0	2013-11-18 10:54:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	October filer - notice of case being transferred to local office. Huh?	Hello,    Any October filers receiving notice that their CRI89 was transferred to a local office? Just got an update of this action this morning through a mobile app (regret installing it now since it made me more anxious at 9am).    From what I read so far this action either means an interview within 90 days, or either means they sent it from Vermont to CSC, or even that the application is still in Vermont.    Wondering if any of you got or will get similar letters in the next days as that would be a sign VSC is backed up.  There's a thread for the month of June that confirms lots of people received such notices.    So far I think the process went quite smoothly which obviously worries me. We also moved from Dallas to NY a month and a half before filing, so that may be enough to be called for an interview I guess. Ok, enough with building stressful scenarios in my head.  Thank you.      Oct 9 -   Mailed I-751 to VSC  Oct 18 - NOA 1 - GC one year extension Oct 22 - biometrics appointment received for Nov 15 appointment Nov 6 -   walk in Biometrics in Manhattan successful (though I wrote about that experience somewhere else on this site).  Nov 18 - Notice (looking in my USCIS case status on line): file transferred to local office  On November 18, 2013, we transferred this CRI89 PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED to another office for processing because they now have jurisdiction over the case. We sent you a notice of this transfer. Please follow any instructions on this notice. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from yo	crisppian	Male	0	2013-11-18 10:37:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 early October 2013 filers transferred from VT to CA. Any approvals or RFE yet?	Just curious and a bit antsy even though it's only been three months since it was transferred to California.  Anyone with a transfer case got RFEs or an approval?    Thank you. Good luck.	crisppian	Male	0	2014-02-21 17:11:00
