Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionDo you think this is enough proof?
[quote name='NickD' date='Jul 21 2008, 11:50 AM' post='2034402']
May want to include a copy of YOUR SSN card and driver’s license, I did this all on the same sheet, kind of let's them know the DMV was also fooled into thinking you have the same address.

Only other thing I see missing is birth certificates of children from your marriage, can you quickly have a kid or two in the next couple of days? Ha, don't worry about that, we couldn't do that either. But I did point out in my cover letter that between my wife and myself, eight children are listed under part five, and isn't Eight is Enough?

Wonder if that got a laugh, but don't know, was not called in for a RFE.

Yours looks good to me, ha, closed the cover letter, I as the US citizen wrote and typed that and personally invited any agents of the USCIS to come visit us. I also enclosed 4 sworn and notarized affidavits, what the heck, could have enclosed a hundred.

Is your wife from Colombia? So is mine, also visited there to meet all of my wonderful in-laws.

Would wish you good luck, but I don't feel you need it.

No kids yet, hopefully in a couple years, but I didn't get the comment about fooling the DMV into thinking we have the same address. Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

If you get an RFE, do you have to pay another fee? Just curious


No you don't, just send the evidence by the cut off date

Thanks!! Is the cutoff date the same date as the GC expiration, or is that determined when you get the RFE?

I just sent my ppwk off, did color printouts of photos because it was cheaper and really the same quality. I sorted my evidence by trip. For example, for our trip back to Colombia I attached boarding pass, email flight confirmation and pictures of our Colombia trip with little handwritten explanations where I fent necessary. I did that for all the trips we have taken, then at the end I just added a bunch of random misc pictures not really relating to any particular trip, also included little notes and dates when possible. I'll let you know how it ends up.

Sorry you got an RFE. Do you mind me asking what all evidence did you include the first time around?

It sounds like you have done a great job with your paperwork, wishing you the best of luck!!!!

I didn't send nearly half of what I should have. I sent the I-715 in before I found Visa Journey, so that says it all.

I had sent copies of bank statements, copies of drivers licenses, car titles, car insurance, lease agreements, copies of my green card, copies of passports, and some other stuff I can't remember right now.

My big mistake was that I did not have everything organized and made easy for USCIS, so I fully understand why they sent me a RFE. This was all my own fault for not paying attention. On the bright side, they gave me a second chance to do it right this time smile.gif

Wow, to me that sounds like you included a lot of stuff the first time around. But I think half the trick is thinking like a reviewing official, like you said, how easy it is for them to go through the stuff you sent in. I think I might have over-orgainzed, I paperclipped everything that went together so the left side of the stack is way higher than the right side because of all the paperclips. Oh well, all I can do is wait at this point. I hope it works out well for you this time around smile.gif

IRS transcript is safer/quick/free - but if you are really running out of time, you can file in with the PDF copies & send in the transcript once you have NOA. I got the transcript within 5 biz day from calling.

And we did not include state tax.



Our window just opened today. Does the 90 day window mean you only have 90 days, even if there are outstanding requirements? I just want to get it sent off ASAP and not have any issues later on. But I guess if I have to wait to get the transcripts and have peace of mind, it might be worth it.


With USCIS, try to do it right the first time. If I were you, I would wait for transcripts - eliminate the possibility that the transcript submitted after the NOA does not get filed with the rest of the application - they are dealing with huge loads of paperwork. If your cond. permanent resident card is expiring within this week, yes I would file with the PDF to avoid late filing.


I think we'll be OK, the window just opened meaning we're 90 days away from the expiration. I just wanted to get stuff sent out and done asap. Thanks for your help!

To add to my first question...

My copies of tax returns are the pdf's of what H&R Block gave us to print out for our records (we e-filed and they make you a nice neat printout) Does this suffice, or do they want to see the official IRS's actual record of the return? Thanks!!

We have everything almost completely ready to send in, but I never bothered to get a copy of my state return. I just file them on the ohio.gov website and they dont' send me a hard copy or anything. If we have our federal returns for the last 2 years, how important do you think these really are? I just want to get everything sent off ASAP and not have to wait for more stuff in the mail. We have every other kind of proof you can imagine. What do you think?? Thanks!

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussionconditional card received - my husban is trying to deport me
I don't think there's anything wrong with a divorce where the non-American spouse wants to stay in the U.S. afterwards -As long as the marriage WAS entered into with good faith and the divorce happened for legitimate reasons. When you think about it, in most cases the non-American leaves everything behind to move to this country. If he/she establishes a life here, has a job, friends, assets, kids, etc, then this is his/her new home. If they want to stay, they should have every right to, and the USCIS says that too. I think it's just harder to prove that the marriage was real in divorce situations than the ones who have stayed together, sadly. I'm sorry for your situation, hope it works out for you.

Hello,
Do you know if it is OK for me to go with my wife to her biometrics appointment? On the appointment notice it says "Due to limited seating availability in our lobby area , only persons who are necessary to assist with transportation or completing the biometrics worksheet should accompany you". I want to be there to make sure everything gets filled out correctly, since my wife's English is good but not 100%.

Another question, is this when she will get the stamp in her passport that grants her travel during the approval process?

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751
We were in the same predicament because we got married in Ecuador and my wife couldn't change her name down there for the first round of paperwork. So they told us when we applied for the 751 we can submit a name change request then. We just needed to submit a marriage document with a letter of instruction, then the new green card will come with her married name. Then from there you can change the SSN card and license, etc. The green card is seen as the governing document that even tells SSN what to do. I got all this info from the USCIS call center. I would recommend calling them and seeing if it is too late since you already filed. Suerte!!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionShould sponsor use married or maiden name on I-751?
Hi,
My wife and I are in that same situation right now. We got married and did all the original filing in Ecuador, and they don't really do name changes down there, so we submitted everything with her maiden name. Then when she got her and got her conditional green card, we called INS and they said she can officially change it when we do the 751. Since the green card is the governing document that tells the DMV and Social Security what to use, that needs to be done first. They say you could also do it any other time using a form (I-91 maybe??) but you have to pay for a new green card, like several hundred dollars. We just decided to wait till the I-751 and do it then to save all that money. Hope this helps you. Along with all the other proof paperwork we also submitted a copy of our marriage document (in spanish but with an english translation) and a letter of instruction to have the new green card say my last name biggrin.gif

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Who's calling NVC every day like me =)
For fiance visas they are definately getting their case numbers faster... For spouse visas however it is taking just over a month to get case numbers. Sad but true

National Visa Center (Dept of State)I-864: with a generated barcode?
Once your $88.00 Affidavit of support fee shows as "PAID" on the website you will be able to print the barcoded coversheet at the bottom of the page. This usually takes a day or two to update. Once it shows "PAID" print it out and send in the AOS package documents.

Your next step will be to wait until the IV bill is generated. Hopefully your spouse has sent them the email designating you as their agent. Once they accept your email they will generate the IV invoice for you. You will pay that.. wait a day or two to show "PAID"... then print off the IV barcode sheet and send IV packet of info to NVC.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)HOW TO TRACK YOUR CASE FROM NVC TO EMBASSY

I just tried checking for that entire week (10-14) and didn't find anything to London. Are you sure the case was sent on Oct 13? You asked multiple operators about the date?



My cases tracking reference was dated almost a week before NVC says it was sent. Try expanding your days to a bit further back

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionEmbassy will allow USC at interview
I emailed the Embassy in Tbilisi Georgia to clarify some information about our upcoming interview. I had seen mixed answers on whether I would be permitted to attend the interview with my hubby. Today I received a response saying that I am welcome to join him for the entire interview! Just be sure to bring my full passport to ensure admittance! What a relief! I was so hoping I would not have to send him alone!

Also the email stated that a few days before our actual interview my hubby will be asked to come to the embassy with all documents to be sure everything will go smoothly on interview date! They said upon approval our visa will be ready in 2 days! :dance:

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Neat - The NVC emailed my interview letter :)
Second time I talked to operator she asked me if I wanted to add my email address to the system I said yes. Did you all have to call and tell them your email address? I think it should be in a shortcut if we have to tell them

National Visa Center (Dept of State)March Approvals - Delays @ NVC
QUOTE (Serendipity_ @ Mar 17 2009, 07:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
We were approved on March 5th. We DS3032 or AOS bill has NOT been generated yet and our case has been at NVC for 8 days now sad.gif I have seen others have their DS3032 and AOS genereated in 2-3 days.

When I call NVC I am told it takes them 4-6 weeks which I know is not true as members on VJ have completed NVC in 11-15 days.

NVC is going Green and doing everything by email now....instead of it being a faster process it seems to have slowed everything down.

Anyone else in the same boat??? This is so frustrating mad.gif

My case number assigned March 5 and nothing since. automated message says wait 6-8 weeks for lawyer to be contacted by NVC. I don't have to do the 3032 because I have the lawyer but operator says the company line wait 6-8 weeks until the paper information is mailed out, but hey let them assign my email address to the case. I'm ready to go now in the time right before approved I had my wife running around to get everything filled out signed and mailed to me I'm sitting on everything ready to go for a couple weeks now comeon NVC I know you're busy I want to get out of your system quick so you can help others!~

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Can i send AOS and DS 230 in same envelope
QUOTE (bobs @ Apr 12 2009, 09:57 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
hey guys i am ready to send AOS and DS 230 . Can i send both in same envelope together or i need to send in different envelope.

Yes separate them inside the outer envelope but you can mail them within the same. Make sure you have tracking information it helps you pass the time tracking it and when it is received
