Hi guys biggrin.gif

Hope y'all are doing ok...miss you tons luv.gif

We sent out our I-751 on 05/08/08 and they receieved it on 05/12/08. That is all the info we have so far. We didn't have nearly the evidence most people have but we tried our hardest and I am putting the rest of the process in God's hands. We sent to NSC so I know it will take a while or so it seems. Hope everyone gets through this process smooth and easy. Congrats Rhonda kicking.gif

Much Love,
Jamie star_smile.gif



Hey Jamie...Good to have you back.

I know that the last time I was on that divorce was in the cards. We went pretty far with the divorce procedings but in the end things turned around and they have been getting better everyday. I am not going to go into all the details but I will say that miracles do happen and things can change in the blink of an eye. Never in a millions years did I think this is where I would be but here I am. I was all prepared to be a divorced woman papers were drawn up and everything but then God got ahold of me, of us and our marriage and made it very clear that another plan was going to be put in place. His plan. I feel like a different person...DH is like someone I never knew before. It is amazing the power God has. Transformation has truly taken place and the prayers I prayed and others prayed for many years were answered...patience truly is the key luv.gif I took a much needed break from the board and focused on some other more important things. I missed you all but I am glad to be back biggrin.gif


Good to see you Jamie and glad to hear that things are back on track. kicking.gif May God continue to always guide you in all you do and I know he will continue to bless your union. A family that prays together, stays together. good.gif

Thanks everyone biggrin.gif

Well we got the packet back in the mail today. They didn't like the form that we used. It wasn't expired - it says it expires 9/30/08 but they rejected and said to use a form revised 2/5/07. I wrote about it in the ROC forum.

On a good note we sent it to NSC and the rejection letter is from CSC and they say to send it back to them so that is good kicking.gif

Funny how the Lord works...I was telling you all that I wanted to file this month but things have been getting held up. Well long story short, we will be moving again around the middle of next month and I figure it makes no sense to move and have to contact USCIS about the address change when we can just include the paperwork for our new place in as additional proof and then send off. Any thoughts on this?

Hey miss Jamie heart.gif glad that you and hubby are back on track yes.gif

Jax - hey girlie! Any new pics of your princess? Have your tickets for Jamaica? We applied for Gavin's passport and it came in the mail exactly the following week from when we applied - no lie!

Same here applied for passports for the kids and had them in less than two weeks.

We moved right before sending in our application. I filled out the address change form online and included it with our application along with the new lease. The online form is simple and you don't have to mail in anything. IMO it matter's not. If you really want to move, do it. If you know your new address, change it. When you send in your lifting application it will match what they already have on file. Won't hurt anything either way.

Hello All,
It's been awhile since I've logged in on this board. I hope that all is well. We mailed off the I-751 for Dice to the TSC and it was received on 5/12/08. The checked was cashed on 5/15/08. Unfortunately, we still haven't received a NOA but we have an infopass appt to get a I-551 stamp in his passport. We didn't include a cover letter but we had a 6-sided folder and on each side we typed a sheet with the info included on each side of the folder.

We included the following:
lease
preapproval mortgage letters for new home purchase
copy of contract for home purchase
2 years of tax returns
bank statements
front/back of greencard
cards ((to each other and from other people to us (such as for anniversaries))
pictures
insurance docs (health/auto)
beneficiary docs for insurance
credit card statements that showed airline purchases for both of us
skymiles statements for both of us
2 affidavits

I believe this covers most of the info that I sent.

Oh man, I was just thinking about u like today or yesterday. I'm glad u and your husband are doing well. It is a beautiful and AMAZING thing when you interject God into your marriage. Just keep Him there cause that is where He belongs.....there's no need for marriage if He is not apart of it. I can tell just from your post that you were touched by that spirit and were made able to see the beauty that God can present. There's like a new vibe coming from you or a light...its weird cause I can feel it just from your post.

many blessings to you and your fam.

I answered in the Yardie thread.
Yaads
Awww thanks Marlita luv.gif It truly has been a life changing experience.

So we finally got our receipt in the mail with a date of May 28. It is after his gc already expired but they didnt reject our petition so I am guessing all is well.

So question...Can anyone show me what thier NOA looks like? Ours seems different to me. It says things in there about sending proof if you haven't already done so like leases and tax returns (and some other things). It also has this note...

NOTE: Conditional resident applicants, including conditional resident dependents resideing overseas pursuant to military or government orders, WILL NOT RECEIVE an ASC appointment notice. To complete biometric processing, these applicants must submit the required items listed on the I-751 form instructions.

Is this the standard form? What does that noted part mean?

Ours said the same thing, hubby was a bit worried, but I told him the letter was generic and we've given them all the proof they would ever need.

I tried to contact her over the weekend but I think she filed a week or two before us...so early February or late January. It took 5 months. She lives in Chicago.

Thank you. It helps if we can kind of follow the timeline. I know I'll be a little anxious once we file in August.
Jamaicagyaldat
Hey you guys! It feels like when we all were filing the K1 and chatting away again! We will apply in September to remove the conditions.

Has any of our group immigrated their husband's children from Ja? We are having a terrible time with Oneil's daughter. When Jamaica converted their b/c over to the new style, they dropped his name off as the father. We have been trying to get this corrected since October 2007. I am so frustrated...we are frustrated. (They converted all these just about the time Oneil immigrated, right before.) It's an ongoing battle. I finally found someone with some help at the registrar's so hopefully we will finally get somewhere in the next few weeks.

She didn't have the exact dates but it was transferred to CSC two months ago. It was filed the last week of January.
Jonesie
FINALLY!

I sent the packet off today (the post office near my home is open on Saturdays). I opted for Priority Mail since there would only be a one day difference in delivery (CSC is in the same state as I am) and the cost was over $20.00 less. I also made an InfoPass appointment for next month to get the I-551 stamp in hubby's passport for our Jamaica trip in August.

I organized everything nicely with dividers and tabs (like I did with K-1 and AOS) but the quality of my work looked sloppy to me compared to the previous filings. I was up until almost midnight getting everything ready to send off. I am so ready for this to be over with and we can get a 10 year break.

Working on it. Sorry to hear abour your hubby's name being dropped from the BC. You'd think they'd keep record of these things. Or at least be more carfefull, being that this is a very sensitive issue in JA. Hopefully they can resolve this for you, it could become a huge issue. If all else fails you could just submit a DNA test proving he is the father. Do you have the old one to prove he was at least on it at some point? I hope they don't mess up and re-add it as though it appears your hubby has just recently added his name; when it had been there all along. So when they fix it make sure to check the date!!

Good luck to you!!

Well, today, I "officially" started getting all this crap together. I've had it all in individual folders for 2 years now. All I have to do is some copying, organizing, and binding. Took me an entire hour this morning on just the utility bills, tax returns, and pictures. I swear the thing weighs 5 lbs. already. Suppose I'll work on more of the pile of folders tomorrow. UGHHHH.....so not looking forwarding to this.

I don't mail till August 2nd. But, I go to the Mindy school of anal retentiveness, so I start now!!!!!

I expect to be in Treasure Beach from July 31 to August 10 or August 3 to August 10!!!
My departure date is iffy due to work.

I would love love love to meet up with you guys if possible (doing the happy dance)!! Jonesie, don't feel a way, but will Gavin be there???? luv.gif Not that I would not meet up with you without baby Gavin in the equation! laughing.gif tongue.gif

I have to tell you guys, I just filled out the I-751 online and it was way too easy. I almost feel like I must be missing something.

Oh, and Mindy.....I just posted the question of if we have to save 10 years worth of crap to renew every 10 years in the open LOC forums. If I get any answers, I will pass them on.
