nothing for me either. I'm wondering if that possible government shutdown last month slowed things down at the USCIS...
My check was just cashed
So when the check is cashed does that mean the application is 100% accepted?
A cashed check does not mean they have approved it. They always take the money even if they will deny the benefit. Its just part of the procedure.
But It means that you have filed the right forms, the right form revision and the right filing fee. You could still get an RFE (Request for evidence) if they have some documents that are missing that you should have included.
So I'm now trying to rationalize why it could be taking longer.
I'm wondering if because my husband does not have an A# already, maybe they have to create one/research to confirm he doesn't have an existing one? Does anyone know anything regarding that?
Hey!
I'm not filing for green card just yet - I'm waiting for my husband to get his citizenship (his interview is on May 19th and hopefully after that it will not take much longer to have his oath ceremony). Anyway, I'm hoping to send my papers for GC sometime at the end of May. The only question I have is - does my husband have to get his American passport before I apply for GC? I'm a little bit confused because in the instructions for I-130, on page 2 under "What Documents Do You Need to Show That You Are a U.S. Citizen?" point #4 says that we need to send a copy of the passport. I spoke with two friends of mine and both of them said that it's not necessary to have a passport, but for me it looks the opposite. Can anyone help me with this, please? Thank you in advance!!!
Hey,
Can you update your signature with your progress so far along with your DO and ASC so maybe I can give you some perspective.
Thanks.
Me neither Lizab...our check hasn't been cashed either...did you check to see if yours was cashed?
Hey,
Download the filing instructions for the I-130 from the USCIS website (forms) section.
On page 2 of the PDF under General instructions, it will tell you what documents you can provide to show that you are a U.S. citizen.
Hope this helps I would have copy pasted it here but it did not work sorry abt that!
I just got my biometrics done, and now I'm just wondering...how do we get notified about the progress of the AP/EAD? I see some people get texts - is that the way it's done?
Also, has anyone applied to have their application expedited? I called to submit a Service Request, which they did, and told me I'd get notified within 5 days (nothing yet, but that was just 5 days ago!) Anyone had any experience with this?
Thanks guys!
