Receipt Number

Receipt received on 20th Nov 2017

[Greatful]

Thank you.

Form G-325a is no longer required, form I-130a replaced it. Did your husband or joint sponsor work in 2016? If you sent only a copy of the tax return for 2016 and no tax transcript, you might receive a RFIE for the missing W2s.

The W2s were attached to the Tax return for 2016, if they request the transcripts I'll just send it, simple maths. lol
The processes of requesting them takes a while.
Yes both my husband and Joint sponsor worked in 2016.
I was advised prior to sending that, even though the I-130a has replaced the G-325a I should send in both.

Hi, I am hoping to be a November flier as well! I am almost done filling out all my documents. However, I dont know where to send them, I live in Ithaca NY, anybody knows? Also, I would like to send the form G-1145, but it says that you should send it only if you are applying at a USCIS Lockbox facility. What does this mean?
Thanks!

G1145 id for email text notification. I attached it on the first pages of my forms. As to where to file it, it depends which forms you will be filing and location. I filed i 130, i 1485, i765 and i131 concurrently so it has to be sent to chicago lockbox. Please see the link for where to file.

I walked in the same day I got the letter. There weren't many people when i got there. Though the officer did say that I was early for the appointment. I told him I will be on vacation so wanted to do it early.

- - - Updated - - -



Documents i brought were the appoinment letter and my for my id: passport and original marriage certificate because my passport still has my maiden name. There's a form you need to fill out in the office that asks for height, weight etc.

Thanks for the info. I might just walk in also whenevr i receive my bio appointment. Goodluck.

Filed the application in Oct last week and received 4 envelopes on Nov 11th. No updates on biometrics yet.

PD Nov 3rd.

Non concurrent eb1c applicant with i140 pd as Oct 2nd.

I've been reading these forums for the past couple of weeks, but the wait doesn't seem to get any easier just be reading. So figured sharing might help!
