Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 August filers, 2010
So. Last time I posted, we had received an RFE on January 10 -- the USCIS wanted more evidence concerning our finances and residence.

We were a bit flummoxed, as we don't commingle most of our finances. I was the victim of identity theft shortly before my husband got his fiance visa, plus my credit rating was quite #######, and I didn't want to spoil his chances at credit. (This was a good decision as it turned out, since my husband was able to establish excellent credit and we now have a house of our own! But as he was the purchaser, my name isn't on the deed -- we shall change that soon.)

I had requested the utility company to add his name to my bill, and despite their assurances, this didn't happen. Thank you very much, PG&E. Feh.

So we had separate bills to the same address, no shared credit card, my name is not on the mortgage -- we thought it looked dodgier than the situation actually is.

We did have one shared bank account, opened in May of last year -- our "slush fund" to stow away cash for a nice trip to Hawaii some day. We also had health insurance cards, something from the IRS addressed to the both of us, an application for a property tax exemption that we received in the past few weeks, and itineraries for our trip to DC in October and Michigan in December. They didn't ask for that, but we sent it in anyway.

In our cover letter, we explained why we don't have our finances commingled, crossed our fingers and sent our additional evidence Express Mail on Monday, February 14. The RFE was due on the 16th.

Tonight we went to a meeting of our housing association, and when we got back I checked my smartphone -- I had a text from USCIS saying that our status had changed.

I checked my email, and the blessed "card production has been ordered" message was here.

YAY YAY YAY!

We are so grateful to VisaJourney and the community here -- it has saved us much money and lots of heartbreak.

Thanks to all you, and for those still waiting, stay strong.

On to citizenship!

Sorry to hear that...:( Updating psho's RFE... (Happy Birthday to you anyway!)


Bless your heart for the birthday wishes.

It was a bit of a surprise. No other August peeps got an RFE?

Well, on my birthday of all days, we got not the greatest news -- an RFE.

I have a lot of questions and will solicit advice, but I'll start a new thread a bit later.

For reference's sake, the RFE letter was dated January 5 and we received it today.

I'll just say it: BOOOOOOOOOOO.

July is at 85 and 83% approval rates... and August is still 24 and 25%... what's going on?

I'm going to make a prediction that my husband and I will get our approval either the last week of November or first week of December (just based on seeing a pattern for some folks of two months between biometric appointment and approval notification).

Fingers crossed! We shall see!

Am i wrong in my observation that those who have been approved first had interviews in earlier parts of their visa/greencard process. I think it has been talked about before, is that the reason some get approved faster than others or is it entirely random!


We had an interview as well, and no approval on ROC (so far). I'd go with the "it's random" feeling.

well isn't that a nice fingerprinting lady? :)


She also told my husband (who had bashed his nose as he was retrieving a pot from an upper cupboard the night before) that his cut was "adorable."

I hope so -- he's going to have that photo on his green card for the next ten years! At least he didn't get a black eye....

Updating my info -- can't remember when we got the NOA, but we went in for the biometrics in Oakland yesterday. The woman who took the fingerprints told my husband that he'd be getting his new green card "in a couple of weeks" -- WHAT??? Really?

We shall see!
