We've really only got that and the new lease that has joint names on it. Shan doesnt have health benefits yet so I'm not named on that sorta thing.....

We have the lease and the electric bill; that's basically it. Cable, cell and bank seem to want SSN. We have health insurance but for some reason my job doesn't put the spouses name on the card, so she just uses one for medical or dental with only my name. She does have a card for the health savings account. If we get an interview, it will be interesting to see what they expect us to have.

In addition to joint bank account, I had a cell phone bill which my husband had me put onto his plan, although my name isnt on the bill, the cell phone number is so we used that. He also gave me a second credit card from his credit card company on the same account, and although again, my name isnt on the account, I took a copy of the most recent bill and made a copy with my credit card on it so they can see my name on the card, and the same card number as his.

My health insurance is different to my husbands too but I used that as it has our address on it as well.

Hope these may give you some ideas. Good luck for your interview.

Cham, I am so sorry that things are so difficult. Do you own property that you could use to back up your affidavit for support? That may help with a shortfall. I really hope that you find a way around this. Dont give up, you still have time. Pull off of each others strength, this time you are together as opposed to filing for K1. I sincerely hope that you manage to find a way through this.

Is everyone hanging in there? Nick/Shannon have you received anything on your package yet? Alexandra received her GC today...I must say even including our RFE bump in the road, it was much quicker than the K1 part. To not worry with USCIS for awhile will be nice but I am sure the 21 months before removing conditions will fly by.


Congratulations!!!! I agree, before a blink of an eye we will be gathering evidence again lol. I have already been looking at the lifting conditions thread to see what kind of proof will be required so as time passes I will know what kind of things to have in place and which things to keep! I think it will seem really strange not to have to be preparing for USCIS or checking the status for a few months.

Good luck to everyone who is still proceeding through this last part of the process and to those whose interview is fast approaching.

thanks a lot!!! another more, in the part 24 and 24 a, BTW im the foreing wife! blush.gif what have to put my husband i dont give money to the house, but i dont came alone to USA i came whit my 2 boys, so where my name is in the 24 0r 24a.


I am the foreign wife too with one child and didnt have an income when we filed, we cant as we dont have the work permit. In section 24a my husband put in HIS earnings which was the amount that he had already put in on part 23 called my current individual annual income is. If there is any other person paying into the household then you would enter them and the amount that they earn. This didnt apply to us.

The information about how to submit the affidavits for each family member can be found on page 3 of the instructions for filling out the form. It starts by saying...."You must submit a Form I-864 affidavit of support for EACH intending immigrant you are sponsoring. You may submit photocopies if you are sponsoring more than one intending immigrant listed on the same affidavit of support" It then goes on to say under which conditions you need to send what.

Hope this helps.

Oh.....and you list all of your sons names and their details in part 3 - information on the immigrant(s) you are sponsoring.

thanks, one more in the part 24 letter e, my husband should put my name? but in this case i came to USA whit dependents? so are my boys his dependents? not mine right? and i have to fill the 325G for my boys too?

As my husband sponsored my son and myself, and I am not earning, I only filled in part 24 a which was his total income from 23 and part c which again was the total income. I read it as the boxes d and e relate to those people who also are contributing to the household income and are listed in part b of this question.

Again, this is only from my experience of this form, but hope it helps.

Oh no Aubrey, so sorry to hear that sad.gif . You must be beside yourself. Have you got any relatives that you could borrow the money from until you have moved and found work? Even if it is a little amount from a few people rather than asking one person for the whole amount. You are both working so very hard, I thought that this one was going to give you a break. Nick and Shannon took some time out to save for their fee, have you thought about doing that? they have only just submitted the AOS. I am sure you can find ways around this, you are both resourceful, and have worked so hard to get to where you are. You are stronger this time as you are both together, there to help each other through. You have managed to go through K1 guys......YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!! rose.gif

BTW, any news from PB&JAM?

thanks guys


Hi Jokalu, great to hear that you are with your loved one and are married !!!! Congratulations!!

I filed AOS and I have 1 child. The Affidavit of support I-864 does allow for you to show that there will also be children being sponsored. Part 3 - Information on the immigrant(s) you are supporting......enter each of the childs names in there on a separate line and fill in the columns.Then on number 10 just below those names you have entered you need to enter the total number of people that are being sponsored so that would be the total of your wife and children.

Then in Part 5 Sponsor's household size, you need to enter the number of people you entered in the box for number 10 above (your wife plus kids). Then continue filling out the all the appropriate things on this form for your wife. Collect all of the evidence to support the Affidavit and keep it with her application which will be the main one. Then, for each of your children you need to file out a separate Affidavit of support but do not need to send in the evidence, they will use the evidence from your wifes application. Dont forget to enter on each application the other children and your wife and count them in the numbers for the total number of immigrants you are sponsoring.

I hope this helps. If you have any problems or questions feel free to contact me.

Best wishes in your new life together good.gif

Congratulations!!! that's fantastic!!

I went for my interview today and not too sure how I got on. They asked myself, husband and son some questions which I am confident we answered ok. The woman took out mine and my sons I-94's from the passport, ticked alot of boxes and said that we would hear within 30 days....I asked if we had been approved and she said that we will hear in 30 days. No-one else seems to have had this response, I am not confident that we got it although my husband says he is. I suppose I will just have to wait and see.

Good luck to all of those awaiting an interview and still keeping fingers crossed and sending best wishes to those who are still struggling to get to their loved ones

Subguy - I see that they lost your medical records too!!! Wow this is happening quite frequently isn't it? I can't believe these people have such difficulty keeping medical stuff together. When we give it to them at POE it's not as though that is the only info that they get, my folder looked as though it held loads of info.

Glad to see that you managed to sort it and are back on track again.

Thanks smile.gif Jeremy is pretty excited. He's been working on his resume for the past 2 weeks. I'm going to look it over this weekend so hopefully he'll be ready to start applying for some jobs. We're also happy about the AP. Means that we can go to Hawaii without any fear. woo woo.

Little Ryan is getting big! I saw his pics on facebook smile.gif


Did you put specific dates down for your travel?
We're looking at the Ap document... Do we need it, we have no travel plans etc but thought it would do to have it just in case there's an emergency back in the UK and I have to go back?
Once I have the GC can I travel without the Ap document?

We just got the physical APs in the mail yeterday. There are no specific dates on them. I'll have to give them a closer look this week. We won't need them until next June but Jeremy will take them with him anytime he travels by plane just to avoid any problems. We also don't think that we'll ever use them because our AOS appt is next month. Assuming we pass the interview he'll get a GC and never have to use them. so i think it's up to you and Nick.


so what did you put for your travel dates and reason for travel?

My son and I have AP's and you dont need to put in any dates if you dont know them. I wrote that I needed it in case my Mum or Step-Mum in particular became sick (as they have medical histories) or if an emergency arose and I needed to get back to the UK before I received my GC.

Yes, once you get GC you dont need these documents, just the GC.

Hope this helps. Good luck with your forms.

ErinandJohnny:- It took us about 3 weeks from biometrics appointment to RECEIVE the EAD, so it should be anytime soon for you from my experience.

I'm (Shan) working now - finally. Nothing special but it's money. We're still saving for aos, but hopefully will have that all filed in the next month... till then Mr. Nicholas is the most amazing perfect stay at home dad there is! Just look at Ryans gummy grinning face! How is everyone else? We see Andy is finally here!!! Congrats!!!!!!!
Are we the last to file for aos??? And is everyone that can make it still up for a 'reunion' next year??


Glad that things are well for you 3! No, you're not the last, at least not so far. Cham (Meri) hasn't filed either, and obviously we haven't since our wedding is in a few days. We'll file as soon as we get our marriage certificate back and his name change court order completed (Nevada doesn't do them when you marry, so we have to pay extra for that sad.gif ). We decided my name change will have to wait till we're not broke, but his shouldn't wait so USCIS doesn't screw something up.

It's taken a couple of days to feel like this is all even remotely real. It definitely feels good, but it'll definitely be awhile before things feel "normal" again. Almost 10 months of webcam and a half-empty apartment to having him and his stuff here and getting on a plane a few days after he arrives... it's a whirlwind!

I'm outta here for ~week. Looking forward to posting wedding pics for you guys when we get back!

Thanks guys. I told Andy to do his best to look at his I-94 he receives for accuracy. I already know he's going to be a zombie again, so I just hope the people at Salt Lake get it right. He has a really long layover, so he can just take his time at POE and stop for dinner before the last leg.

It's like waiting for Christmas morning when I was a kid. kicking.gif

Salt Lake? Is he coming from Paris? How much of a layover?

It's funny it takes us like a month to get a page of posts.


Hamburg -> Paris -> Salt Lake City -> Spokane.

He has ~5 hours in SLC... which is a lot, but was unavoidable. I'd rather have him there longer than worrying about running to the next plane. I told him to set his watch alarm though, because last time he had a lengthy layover he nearly missed his flight. smile.gif

These last few hours are making me crazy! I went over a friend's house tonight to try to get my mind off of it. I am just so damn excited! biggrin.gif

Ya i sent the envelope that they gave to me. Dr. arnold on page 5 part 5 dr. arnold didnt print his name or put his address he just signed and dated it. do you think that is why they could have sent me an RFE??? We got another paper to about the medical and vaccination records but i just figured that meant the same thing....grrr how frustrating. If i was able to make an info pass appt if they can get me in next week do u think they could tell me exactly what i need??? ya we might have to do the medical and everything all over again which is very frustrating. I want to find out if they lost the embassy papers or not, but i dont know if they will tell me....

this whole process is so frustrating.


another question if u all can give me ur thoughts. seems how he missed his biometrics thanks to his lovely friends that said they would take him but didnt show up on time. they took his paper and said they would reschedule it. should i trust them to reschedule it or should i write a letter to do it??? and if i write a letter and they already sent me one out im afraid that it will get changed again...any suggestions?

With regards to the appointment, cant you just write a letter stating what happened and say you are writing to let them know to keep them informed? Get a certificate of posting for it as well. That way you can show that you wrote to them to notify them in case his rescheduling goes astray. Just for your info, when I asked to reschedule mine, it took about 2 weeks to get another appointment, so they werent that fast in rescheduling. I think this is what I would do if I were in your situation. If you had a copy of the biometrics appointment I would send a copy of that with the letter also.



well at this point i dont even know what address to send it to because the address to change appt was on the biometics appt letter. They took his letter from him at the office and told him that they would rescedule it. so i dunno.

I have a phone number from my biometric appointment letter that it says to call if you have any query with the appointment. My office is in Philadelphia but as its a 1-800 number I think its a central office. You will need you alien number and the application numbers that you would be going to the appointment for ( for me it was the I-485 and the I-765). The number is 1-800-375-5283 be aware that they do speak incredibly quickly!!!!! I had to get my hubby to make the call as I couldnt work out what they were saying fast enough lol.

Hope this helps you. Good luck!

Ya i sent the envelope that they gave to me. Dr. arnold on page 5 part 5 dr. arnold didnt print his name or put his address he just signed and dated it. do you think that is why they could have sent me an RFE??? We got another paper to about the medical and vaccination records but i just figured that meant the same thing....grrr how frustrating. If i was able to make an info pass appt if they can get me in next week do u think they could tell me exactly what i need??? ya we might have to do the medical and everything all over again which is very frustrating. I want to find out if they lost the embassy papers or not, but i dont know if they will tell me....

this whole process is so frustrating.


another question if u all can give me ur thoughts. seems how he missed his biometrics thanks to his lovely friends that said they would take him but didnt show up on time. they took his paper and said they would reschedule it. should i trust them to reschedule it or should i write a letter to do it??? and if i write a letter and they already sent me one out im afraid that it will get changed again...any suggestions?

With regards to the appointment, cant you just write a letter stating what happened and say you are writing to let them know to keep them informed? Get a certificate of posting for it as well. That way you can show that you wrote to them to notify them in case his rescheduling goes astray. Just for your info, when I asked to reschedule mine, it took about 2 weeks to get another appointment, so they werent that fast in rescheduling. I think this is what I would do if I were in your situation. If you had a copy of the biometrics appointment I would send a copy of that with the letter also.

Hm... well I'm starting to hear the crickets chirp in our thread. dead.gif This week has been a whirlwind with trying to coordinate his family, mine, and our plans for a wedding.

Thought I'd let everyone know that the wedding is set: July 16 at the Las Vegas Hilton wedding chapel (one week after Andy's POE).

Congratulations on setting the date! It's not too far off now Aubrey!!!! Sounds as though you will be having family at the wedding too which will be great for you! Keep us posted biggrin.gif

Hi everyone!!

Must confess we haven't gone through all the messages since we've last been on... don't have net yet - just borrowing it for a few mins. Wanted to stop in and say hello!

Ryan's growing sooo fast... turning over and laughing his little heart out all the time!!
I'm working now and we're still saving for AOS so Nick's home with Ryan and the kids full time - which suits us as I have no worries about leaving him with a sitter to work... so all is working out nicely there.

Do have a quick question as we don't have time to do some looking around on here... can someone post the address of the doc in texas that transcribes the vaccinations? We'd really appreciate it!

Hopefully 'see' you all soon!!!! Take care all xxx


Hi there guys!!! good to hear everything is moving along well for you and that Ryan is growing fast biggrin.gif

I found these details about Dr. Arnold on VJ so pasted it here for you

Dr. L.E. Arnold
4534 Westgate Boulevard, Suite 114
Austin, TX 78745
(512) 444-3131


Just send Dr Arnold a photocopy of your DS3025 and the immunization card from local clinic. The link for the whole convo if you need it is

http://www.visajourn...h...1202&st=225


Hope this all helps you (I personally sent it without as it says if you have a medical in the last 1year connected to K-1 you dont have to worry about getting it transcribed, but its all a matter of choice biggrin.gif).
Good luck with the AOS.

hi all

might have a better job..fingers CROSSED!!

how is all???

mohammedwalks doing okay..stressed LOL


Good to hear, Meri. I hope it's working out for you. Keep us in the loop. smile.gif

Not much different here, except a few headaches. Andy's last work day will be the 29th, and after discovering the miles we have put together I wanted to use them for a discount on his airfare (30K miles = $300 off). But that's it's own headache, as Delta/NWA is giving me such terrible customer care in trying to transfer the miles to one place. So until I get that figured out, I can't book a ticket.

The only two things I've heard in the job arena are a rebuff from a staffing agency (I'm not "local" enough) and notice that their e-mail system blocked my application attachments and to mail it to them. I remember this feeling well; the waiting and applying and feeling discouraged. Somehow it never gets any easier.

I asked my folks to keep an eye out for freelance opportunities for me, and I'm asking you guys for the same. If you know anyone that needs a logo, letterhead, a flyer, poster, newsletter, small business website, etc., I'd appreciate it if you sent them my way. I'll give my full attention and an ultra-cheap rate in return for my getting some additional experience under my belt. I can always send the print job to their local print/copy shop.

It's so good to see you all getting through your AOS process swiftly. I've been surprised how soon some of the EAD's are going through. A few months ago everyone was seeing 90 days. Now I'm regularly seeing 40-60 days. I wonder if USCIS is getting more efficient or if they're just seeing fewer applications.


Why dont you take your job hunting frustrations out on the Airlines to get your miles transferred? Then you manage to get rid of the stress and get your flight sorted at the same time whistling.gif

We will definitely keep you in mind if we hear anyone needing any design work. Keep plugging away, with all the work you are putting in something will soon turn up.

Page 3 guys!! Too much smooching, not enough VJing. jest.gif

Quick update before I crash for the night.
Still job hunting, and heard nothing so far. 15 apps, 1 cold email, and 1 staffing firm app later. More cold emails and apps to come. Looking and writing cover letters, etc is time consuming, and it's slim-pickings out there. A mere sampling of crazy places I've applied to: Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Iola Wisconsin, Framingham Massachusetts, and New York. I must be out of my mind on the last one. I haven't been insane enough yet to apply for anything in the vicinity of Texas and my mother yet, though.

Andy's going to finish out the month at his job and is going to figure out when his last day will be. It depends on when his folks can pick him up with his stuff, because it's too much to carry back on the train. We'll figure that out this weekend or Monday, depending on what they say, and then sometime next week book a ticket. Looks like a mid-July flight; a bit later than we hoped. I guess we'll get married at the end of July or beginning of August. Continuing to wait makes me feel like I'm losing my mind a little. I guess that explains New York.

Keep going Aubrey, you sound as though you are trying really hard to sort this, I am sure you will get some reponses soon (you have covered a large area, so bound to). Once you and Andy make dates for moving you will have something concrete to work towards and I think this will make things more easier than having a 'rough idea'. Looking at your signature a mid-July flight isnt far from your original plan, so you are both doing well in some very difficult circumstances.

We look forward to the countdown appearing on your signature to when he flies out to you after the weekend!

I do have one question about AP. When you apply for AP is it good for only one exit/entry? do you have to specify a trip? does it make the EAD/AOS process slower? I thought that you could get a "standing AP" - good for use at any time. And I didn't think that it had any bearing on the AOS process but Jeremy thinks differently. Can you guys shed some light??


You can request a multi entry on the AP, and no you do not have to give dates/trips. When you send it in you will also need a covering letter stating the reason why you would like to have AP and that you have no specific travel plans at this time. I have a copy of the letter i sent if it would help?

AP is dealt with by a different office as is EAD to AOS so it has no bearing on any of them, it definately doesn't slow it down.

Dawn, that'd be great. Will you please send me the cover letter? I'll pm you my email address. Danke!

What a beautiful Wedding picture.......Congratulations!

@ErinMeetsJohny: The average times were going down last I looked, but still 2 1/2 months. This is why in my case Andy is still in Germany working. I can't imagine having to move in with my parents again. I hope yours are supportive. I'm sure the lack of privacy for two newlyweds is not much fun.

@Koakland: Yeah, we're still figuring on a move date at the beginning of July. No changes so far. Another month on the job for him, then moving back to his parents place for a few days to make final arrangements, get rid of stuff, etc. Can't book a ticket with uncertainty on my end concerning jobs, so it will be a last minute thing.

@Cham: I'm hanging in there. I spent the last two days glued to the computer re-working my website, as some of the job boards have gotten me a few more hits than usual. There aren't many jobs to apply for right now, as everyone wants 2-3 years+ experience. You know, same story you always hear. Next week I'll start sending out stuff cold on days I can't find listings. Wish me luck. Things will get ugly in a few months if I'm not hired.

You have worked so hard, I hope that you get something soon

Enjoy your time with your fiancé Corinthians wink.gif

This morning I passed my driving test YAY ! I looked on the permit and the date of expiration is august 16th like my I-94. So I asked what I will have to do after this date and they told me to comeback with my california driving license, and a proof of status (EAD or GC) and the will re-send me a new one, I will maybe just have to have a new picture done, that is it. So no need to retake the test !

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kicking.gif kicking.gif

Bad news guys.
"your visa has been denied under section 212(a)(2)(a)(1) of the immigration act A waiver of the applicable is available."

I dont know what this means, he has old convictions, which we were worried about, but i think 212 is lack of proof of relationship? my fiance told me: "I dont qualify for automatic approval its up to homeland security to approve me a waiver, only this time we both have to write letters explaining why a denial would cause extreme hardship, more forms to fill, $538 to pay, at least 15 weeks more to wait, "

We are eligible for a waiver but have to prove extreme hardship.

I am utterly heartbroken and crushed. He cannot even visit me til we get approved or denied. I am gutted! I dont know what to do! I cant be with the man i love! I have to go cry now!
thank u all for your well wishes!

Jenny

Jenny so very sorry to hear that. I hope that once you have had time to recover from this blow you both come back out fighting. Our thoughts are with you
