It is quite normal to not see any update following interview schedule, so I wouldn't worry about it for now. I would say to give her until Friday or Monday before reaching out to her again, if there's still no interview letter by then.
Hmm, interesting. Couple of questions first (to help figure out what’s going on and decide on the next steps):Hi Mom,
I wrote to you a few weeks ago regarding my husbands package being rejected due to forgetting to sign the I-485. We sent it back to them and today received another rejection notice
I have attached the letter. I think it means they want the DV congratulatory letter? Which I did not send as I am the winner and they kept my package and cashed my cheque (which has the congratulatory letter). I did not think to send another copy. What do you think it means when they say the fiscal year has ended? Is it too late to send it back, even thought they are processing my application??
Should I send back immediately tomorrow?? And if so, should I fill out tje I-485 again and everything else to minimize them getting confused they are processing my application??
Instructions on how to obtain access to the Timeline spreadsheet was posted in response to another forum member’s question a couple of posts directly above yours. Please scroll up to the post to see the instructions.
Based on the above responses, I believe the second rejection was an erroneous one - the package was probably handled by a new contractor at the Lockbox. The green paper should have informed them the package was being expected. So going forward you have two options:
. Whichever option you decide to go with, I highly recommend you send in the package with next day courier delivery option (I don't think same day option is available, or I would have recommended that).Based on the above responses, I believe the second rejection was an erroneous one - the package was probably handled by a new contractor at the Lockbox. The green paper should have informed them the package was being expected. So going forward you have two options:
Option1: Send everything back as is to the same Lockbox in Dallas, but this time around include (a) copy of your selectee notification letter, (b) copy of the acceptance notice (I-797) for your own case - this will show the case is tied to yours and will hopefully cause them to fast-track it to join yours at the FO, (c) a cover note explaining: (i) this package is for your derivative, (ii) your case as the main selectee is currently being processed evidenced by your attached I-797, (iii) your FY is not yet over contrary to what the rejection notice states, your FY ends on Sept. 30th, 2023.
Option 2: Fill out new sets of forms and send this package as a new one to your actual Lockbox (Chicago, I believe based on your zip code?). This will however require you to include a sealed medical report (you will not be able to use the copy previously sent since it has been opened), and new payment form. You will also need to include (a) copy of your selectee notification letter, (b) copy of the acceptance notice (I-797) for your own case - this will show the case is tied to yours and will hopefully cause them to fast-track it to join yours at the FO, (c) a cover note explaining: (i) this package is for your derivative, (ii) your case as the main selectee is currently being processed evidenced by your attached I-797.
I do not believe it is too late, give it your best shot and hope for the best. Third time is a charm, like they say
The case processing continues as is regardless of your spouse's since you are the main selectee.
p.s. I suggest you add your case data to the timeline spreadsheet by the way.
I strongly believe nobody likes to feel like people are taking advantage of their generosity, you know? When I'm spending my time helping out folks here, following up on their cases (without any prompting) and rooting for them to succeed, I do expect them to do me the common courtesy of responding to questions about their cases when I ask follow up with them.
Sorry mom. The USCIS rescheduled my biometrics for August 3rd, but they called me on July 17th and I went to the FO and had my biometrics done the same July 17th. No updates so far.
It would help others if you could update the Timeline spreadsheet accordingly.
While the IO may or may not request to see the original documents, there is an expectation for all applicants to attend their interview with the original version of all the documents submitted in support of their application. This is something you should have arranged to be sent to you long ago.
1. Yes, you should expect a RFE or the interview letter itself in your specific case like I’ve already told you before, I believe. Your case will not be approved without the medical report.
Like the post I just responded to above, if you take a look at the Timeline spreadsheet, you’ll notice a couple of other cases from your FO, who filed before you, are equally still waiting for their next updates, you’re not the only one waiting for this from the Brooklyn, NY FO. Your FO unfortunately seems to be bunching up DV cases and waiting towards the end of the FY before adjudicating them - they’ve done exactly this same thing in the past.
Thanks for the reply. So that means Brooklyn, NY FO is putting me in quota limit danger for this year. Also I most likely to wait for September if they do it like they did before. Changing my address at this moment may help me to receive an interview before the FY ends?
