I-751 Timeline List

I have a question. I have received my RFE three weeks ago in April, and I have submitted my papers on April the 29th with an overnight express mail. I have included,
1) School paper for one of my children showing that I am her step father.
2) Car loans, and contracts we have in both of our names together.
3) Contract of the house we own and deed for the house.
4) Our joint bank account statements.
5) Loan contrant for the house.
6) Our joint tax returns.
7) Car insurances in both of our names.
8) Home owners insurance letter, and contract in both of our names.
9) Power and water bills, the bills are not together in our name but I got letters from both explaining the two accounts are in both of our names.
10) Family Pictures.
11) Previous leases of places we've lived in since marriage took place.
12) Affidavits sworn by two people that know both of us.
I believe this is all I have sent as far as I remember, and we did not have no life or health insurance, I hope this does not effect anything.
But what I am concerned about the most is that I went to our tax service place to get our joint tax returns for the last 4 years, and I told them they need to be official. They said these are the official ones, told me to go ahead and send them. It has the information of the tax place, and preparer' social ssn, or the EID no on them. My and my wife think that these are the official ones, and just sent them since we was told that. But after I sent them I started worrying about it that what if they were not official and we had to have them notarized. I called an immigration attorney here in my town and asked him. He said they needed to be signed, and and just go ahead and send them the signed ones. I have asked the same thing to my congressman secretary she said go ahead and send them notarized and send them, then we will call them from our office next week(it was today.). I went to our tax service place and got them stamped and me and my wife signed them. Then we called them from the congressman's office and she asked them if they could attach them onto my file and they said that I have not sent them something completely new and that he will talk to the officer that is in charge of my case about that and give us a call within two weeks. I have been worried about few things here now.
1) Would that matter that they got these tax papers or it would be considered nothing(like I did not send them) in case if they do not attach the notarized ones that i have sent them 5 days later to my file?
2) Or would my case be denied because I have sent these joint tax returns in addition(I am worried about it even though everyone else including the attorney and the congressmans secretary said it is ok.)
3) Or on the RFE letter it says all the requested materials should be submitted together at one time. Submission of only some of the requested evidence will be considered a request for a deceision on a record. Now today the officer on the phone at VSC said that I have not sent them anything new so it should be OK for the officer that is charge of my case to attach the notarized documents to my file, but I am worried that what if they only consider the tax returns that I have sent them the second time as all the evidence. I do not think that is what it means.
Anyways, I know this is too long to read for you all, but please tell me what do you all think about this, Do you think I should be OK, or may have some trouble with sending these papers again.Do you think they deny such cases that they think is insufficient or send you more RFE letters requesting just the specific papers? Does any of you know anyone that has not been approved, or has been denied after sending them their RFE?Also how long do you all think it takes them to make a decision on the case once the RFE has been sent? I am really sick of waiting, I have been waiting for 14 months now, and I have been seeing ppl. even in VSC getting approved so quick now, I think everyone from my time got theirs except me. Please give me your opinions.

Alit, your post sure is really long. I take it that you are worried you sent tax forms which weren't notarized and maybe they won't accept that? I applied for my I-751 without any lawyers involved. I normally do my own taxes and all I did was print copies of the PDF file from my computer and send it along with the rest of the documents. I didn't think they needed the tax forms to be notarized as I am sure they have ways of finding out if the filing was done the way with IRS. In any case, my I-751 was approved last week. I don't remember sending notarized tax forms for the original AOS applicaiton either. I think you should be okay.

It's ok. No we don't have any. and still college students. Your lawyer might be right but I heard they ask for interview only when there's insufficient documents supporting relationship or if they find anything doubt or small percentage of randomly chosen cases. but as long as u entered into marriage by faith.. there's no need to be afraid of.. even if there's an second interview. :)

My husband and I have been married nearly 4 years with no kids. My case approved w/out an interview as well.

Add me as well approved 04-28-2009 No longer fed up.:D:D:););)

Congrats fedup2k6 and others who got approved. fedup2k6, i know you had been waiting for a long time and I told you have faith be patient which paid off now :). Wait 30-60 days for the card. CSC is taking way longer these days for the physical card due to their budget cuts I guess.

Let us know when you get your Physical card.

Hi Alit,

Man I really feel your pain. You are almost done man. Your congressman/woman's Immigration person seems helpful.

Correct me if I am wrong, what i got from your post is:

You sent all the required documents first time and didn't have the tax forms notarized.

As long as you submitted all the required documents the RFE was asking for, you should be fine, whether your tax returns are notarized or not.

All Immigration wants to see is that, you paid taxes and you and your wife filed taxes together, i.e. proof for bona fide marriage.

As far tax returns being offical or not they can check the returns with IRS via IRS transcripts if they need or they might send you another RFE (I don't think it will happen) if they need to.


I have a feeling that you will soon be approved buddy. I hope it's a true feeling. I have been following this forum for the past 5 or more months and I never wished/prayed for someone's approval more than yours and fedup2k's which she got and next is your.


See By involving congressman/woman you made your case current and put a hammer on the officer's hand. Congressman's inquiry can get an officer their supervisor handling the case get fired due inefficiency etc.

RFE was just an excuse for them to buy more time. I am sure they lost your files coz it's been more than 1 year and now by RFE they will got those documents which you sent with I-751 almost a year ago, said but true.


Sorry for the long long post but we all here on Immigration portal feel and wish for Alit.


Wish you and your family the very best. You are almost done. Just be patient and keep on contacting your congressman's Immigration Liason after couple of days or so. Forget about your laweryer, he can't do sh*t. The immigration liason/person at congressman has the power now.


All the best again.
 
thank you so much, I got an approval letter today, and you were right Mr. Par Sad, sorry if I got your name wrong. I got an approval letter in mail today that my request for removal of the conditions on my permanent resident card has been approved, and I should be getting my new card within 60 days along with the letter in mail explaining what are the responsibilities of the permanent residency and etc. But I have a question, I have my own account registered with USCIS online at uscis.gov and I have been checking to see if there is any updates on my case including today, and I have not seen anything different on there, it still says my case has been received at the VSC and it has been pending. That would not mean that I have not officially been approved oir anything right? Is there any way for them to come back from this after this approval letter they sent me and say that your case has not been approved yet, or do you think that approval letter was all I needed from the USCIS? What if I do not get the card or anything you know? I am asking this because one of the representatives on the phone told me that my case has been approved in december 2008 and the next day I called them several times asked them if I was approved and they said no. Also, after I had my first interview before I got my conditional greencard, the guy stamped my passport as the case has been approved and told me I am now a permanent resident and I will get my two-year greencard in 2-3 months. I have waited for 4 months and I did not get nothing. Then I went to my local office in ATL, GA, they said your case has not been approved yet and told me that the guy that interviewed us did not know what he was doing. I was so frustrated, and I kept calling their 1-800 number and they kept sending requests to them inquiring about my two year card. After doing that for about five times, I have seen them changing the things on my file on the computer then I got my welcome notices and two-year greencard within next two days. I am sorry I know that I have posted a long one again for you to read lol, but I am still worried even though I got my approval letter today because of what they have done to me in the past. I have just seen your request by the way, that is why I answered you today, thank god I got my approval letter though. Please help me with my questions that I have inluded in this reply to your post, IT MAY MAKE ME FEEL BETTER, Thank you have a good day.

Congratulations your wait is over,my onlie status has not changed either so do not be alarmed,i have also not obtained my card as yet.So jus be patient and try contacting USCIS in the next 30 days.
 
congrts buddy.
I am fed up too of waiting. i applied in dec 2008 on 23rd.
No update nothig so far. just fed up.........
 
Hi Alit,

First of all Congratulations on getting approval :). You must be very relieved after seeing the letter.


I am still waiting for the response from USCIS I applied this year, so I am waiting patiently until they crossed the 6 months period.


Now to your question, I understand that you are worried that they might not have approved or they might delay sending the card etc. I can understand your frustration and view, You are thinking "If USCIS has done this to me before, what if God forbid, they do this to me again etc".


To answer your question is, the approval letter of GC approval is official and your case has been approved for sure. As long your status update on USCIS website, my status hasn't changed since I did biometric appointment.

Also I have read on this forum and others, folks who are getting recent approval they online status hasn't changed and some even got the card in the mail and they status said In process etc.


Some people got the card production email 1-2 weeks before they physical card arrived in mail, some didn't get the email but got the card.


I would suggest and advice not to worry about it as your case has really been approved because of support from congressperson and evidence of your bona fide marriage you sent for RFE.

If you don't hear anything or get anything in the mail in 30-45 days, then either ask your congressman's immigration liason or call USCIS and ask them to do a service inquiry as why you haven't gotten the card yet.

I think now a days they do send the physical card close to 60 days since you got approved.


So hang in there, your wait is almost over. I hope it helps. Keep the approval letter save and handy and make couple of copies if you would like.

Good Luck :)
