Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionTo Carolina, California, Canada, and beyond I go…
QUOTE (AntandD @ Mar 8 2009, 03:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
As I mentioned before, my husband and I are going back to North Carolina sometime (and maybe travelling even further south in the USA too), so it would definitely be fun if we can all have a VJ in-person get-together sometime in South Carolina, or Anywhere Else in America!

that was the first story of yours that i have read but found it amusing . If you do get to Nth Carolina you need to come on down to Sth Carolina at our house we grill and smoke the door is always open lol

Cool!! Maybe when you do a SC tour, I'll be living in it by then!!! I'm hoping to move to Sumter this summer, ( depending on immigration of course laughing.gif) and that's only two hours from Charlotte! I really need to tour the State more; I've never heard of Greer. Course, I've only been there twice. Love Myrtle Beach. Think I'll be asking Tim to take me out there lots. I won't have to twist his arm too much. He likes to go out there too.

And yes. Love the story. Glad you got your passport safely!! I'm surprised they let someone else sign for it though.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionAnother RFE
yes...all the letters where notarized. Choose people that have known the USC for a long time. Old time friends, maybe church goers if that applies, co workers, any one that has known the USC and when they met the spouse. There is a couple of examples on example forms at the top of the page...just under the visa journey..portals guides...you'll see example forms and there are a couple of those from friends. They do not need to be written out in that form!! Don't let that worry ya! lol Only one of our friends did. Make sure that the full name and address is on the letters, and that this is in reference to the two of you. One of the letters was pen written as well, so it doesn't have to be typed. Most banks have a notary public, and if you go to church, you may even have someone there. *We did..was a blessing*

The letters simply need to state that they have spent time with the two of you since your marriage, whether once a month or frequently, going out to dinners, have been to your house etc. but the main point is that they state they have seen the two of you together...and can assure your marriage is secure and happy. All USCIS is concerned with is that your still in the same house, and still married.

I just got my card today. :) It's really green!

Oh yes..send any kind of letter explaining any "gap" or anything you are not able to provide. I also let them know we did not have loans, trusts..etc. All that "hard" evidence that they were looking for.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionAnother RFE
Just to let you know, I was RFE'd back in August. *filed Nov.2011* We sent in basic items...mail with both names on...vehicle in both names..a couple bills...credit cards *copies* in both names...as well as my own personal ones, so that they saw it came to the same address. All my work schedules came mailed to me....photos and proof of us taking trips together.

There where NO income tax forms as I had not work, and my husband is on disability, therefore doesn't file. And he owns his house, no mortgage on it..so no lease etc and my name is not on the house. I explained all that in a letter along with the packet. I knew it was all weak, but I had a hope :innocent:

Along comes RFE.

So...now I had income tax, and just started a job this year where my husband is on a life insurance policy. We also sent 4 very strong affidavits from friends. Oh..and in the orginal packet sent bank account statements with both our names but it was from March 2011 until Oct. And they wanted to see the duration of marriage for that. So we back tracked to get the statements from 2009 *when we got married*. Lo and behold..my name wasn't on them untl March 2011! I thought we added it much sooner than that. So I wrote a letter and said I really didn't know what happened because the first few months after moving, getting married and going on trips were a whirlwind!! In a nutshell..I apologized for not having my act together better!! So we mailed off a very weak RFE.

Almost 5 weeks later, I got the email that my card was ordered!! I'm almost positive it was the affidavits that helped, but I'd like to think they got a kick out of my letter and thought it was just too cute not to pass! :blush:

Best of luck with everything!! I'm sure you'll be fine!! :)

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 November 2011 Filers
hey all...sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you about my status, but there wasn't too much to tell with all the waiting going on. We sent a *weak* RFE back end of Oct. -beginning of Nov. *Sorry..can't quite remember the dates*....and waited...again.

In my email I read...

Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production


On December 4, 2012, we ordered production of your new card..........WHOOO HOOOOOOO :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: No interview which is what I was expecting!! And now I just read...

The USPS reported that they picked up mail from USCIS containing your new card on December 6, 2012. You should receive your new card within 7 days. :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Talk about stress!!!!! I had a little over 2 months on my current status, and then....well, I don't want to think about it.

I am now taking a break. I will probably apply for citizenship in a couple years or so. For sure well before the 10 year mark is up :star:

Thanks all ...and best wishes for anyone else still waiting!
