I seriously cannot take this anymore. Everything seemed to be going so great; it took us over a month to actually get the RFE resent, then we finally managed to get the information we needed from our cosponsor to answer the RFE we got, sent it in, got transferred to CSC, and now... ANOTHER one!!!



This time it's for the WHOLE shebang again. Last time it was just most recent tax returns. This time it's for the whole I-864 again. For those of you who weren't around the last time, it took us 2 months of phone calls, emails, and home visits to get that form filled out the first time. And that was when we were living only an hour away from him. Now we live 4 hours away and I have no idea how we're going to do it.

I've asked my parents several times to cosponsor us, I've asked my grandfather, I've asked my brother and sister, I've asked all of my friends who have jobs, and all have said no. His cousin was our only hope, and now we have to start all over again at a serious disadvantage. For the last RFE it took us over a month to get the tax return that we needed from him, and he was clearly pissed off at us, and my husband is so pissed off at him that he can't even stand to talk to him anymore.

We have until October 24th to come up with something. I'm thinking about sending in an I-864 just for me, with my current employment information (because I am finally working), and then waiting for the RFE for tax returns (I don't have tax returns from 2005 because I was in school). By the time the response for that RFE is due, I should be able to have my 2006 tax returns to send in, which will show enough income to qualify. But I'm worried that they'll think I haven't complied with their instructions and they'll just deny us.

I am seriously at my wit's end. On top of this I'm working 90 hours a week.

I know I'm kind of in a hopeless situation at this point, and I don't think that there's anything that can help me, but I just had to vent.

I miss you guys, I wish I had time for VJ, but my schedule doesn't let me do any more than peek in every once in a while.

Congratulations to all who have had recent good news!

wow, I'm so sorry your going through all this Sharon. Hang in there, hopefully one day we can all look back on these expericances and laugh.

Sharon, don't give up, everything happens for a reason. Resolve will come your way. It may take some time, and some thought, but I bet you will come up with something. I am wishing you the best and good luck to you...

Sharon,

I'm saying extra prayers for you. Something will present itself. Seems this rollercoaster ride takes us on some wild turns but it will eventually be ok. Just wishing all the best for you. If you need to talk, holler.

Sharon,

This sucks! I can't believe they would RFE you twice for basically the same thing. And I know what a hard time you had last time. I'll make sure that Wadi gives Majid a call. I'm sure he's beside himself.

Take care!

Jenn

Sharon, I'm sorry to hear you are going thru this... I wish you some peace and resolve soon. I hope that the way is revealed quickly and you can move on from here. All the best to you...

The thing that baffles me is that he lives here, you're supporting him, bah.

If you send in your current paystubs and a letter from your employer saying how much money you make as the sole sponsor, maybe that will work this time around inshaAllah ta'ala

This is ridiculous and im so mad for you Sharon.

I remember all the drama with the cousin last time and its just so irritating that you have to figure it out again.

What makes me more mad is that hes here and doing fine...you guys don't need a co-sponsor in reality..its just the time when you were in school.

RRR....im thinking of you thats all...im sure your going to come to a solution soon..your a resourceful rockstar it will work out.

peace,
Sarah

Sharon, so sorry to hear this. Hang in there. You've come so far and you'll make it again. I wish you luck on your idea and will keep you in my prayers.

Doreen

Sorry for your trouble, Sharon. I hoped it is resolved soon.

Meriem

I am sure this is so discouraging, I'm sorry to hear you are going through this. My prayers will be with you.

OMG -- they're asking for the same thing again ???? Unbelievable

I'm really sorry to hear you're having to go through this a second time. That cousin is just jerking you guys around. It's really sad that his own family would promise to help, then treat him like this.

Insha'allah someone in your family will have a change of heart and decide to step up to the plate.

Wishing you all the best in finding a solution soon -- you sure don't need this extra stress.
