I called the ARS and got the message saying that on november 15th they sent a letter requesting for documents missing;I called to the operator to find out what is missing she said they need proof om my being in the US she was not able to explain and said to wait for the instructional letter
Does anyone know what can I give them as a proof the only thing I have is visa in my passport the I94 form they took at the airport when I was leaving the US last November
I can't belive this nightmare will never end for us

Sorry natashenika, I'm not really following your question, but it's early and I haven't had much coffee

Are you thinking they are looking for proof of a bonafide relationship/marriage perhaps?

No question that you overstayed your visa or anything? It is possible they just misplaced (lost) the I-94 you sent etc.

Was this the only time you met your Husband?

Anyway, if you give all the details I am sure someone will have some idea - but I also understand if you don't want to share. For instance when did you arrive and leave, ie how long did you stay? Was this your only visit, and you got married on that visit etc..

One other thing you could do if you are really curious is to call the NVC back and speak with a different operator and ask for more details, explain you sent your I-94. Depends who you get sometimes, some are more helpful than others.

Question, if they took the I-94 away from you, which they should have, how is it that you have it?

If you have I-94 - that is the problem..when I was going to US first time i was told that be sure I-94 will be taken out from passport in other case- although You will be sitting at home , they will be saying that you stayed in US..For some my friends that happened..They were told contact the embassy ASAP if they are at home already..

If they want a proof that you have been to the US:
1. You could scan departure/arrival stamps from your passport and send this (hard, I know, they are rarely clear).
2. May be your plane ticket copies could be requested from the airline?
3. Did you have any credit/debit cards in the US - bank statements would be a proof.
4. Your social security card or driver license. Paperwork from when you applied for an asylum?
5. Lease agreement?

Anyway, pretty strange that NVC would ask to prove you have been to the US. You married, hence you met. Why is it important whether you have been in the US?!

Good luck,
Rika

Ah ok, now I am seeing the picture a bit better.

So you were in the States on a J1 (exchange visitor visa) and then you applied for political asylum, which I assume was turned down seeing as you are no longer in the U.S..

Is it possible you were out of status after the J1 expired? They have a copy of your visa so they know you were in the U.S., maybe it is more a question of legal status than just simply being in the U.S.. Again, I would call the NVC and speak with someone else.

Anyway, I am just guessing at this point as this seems like it might be specific to you and also a bit complicated based on having 2 different types of status. Maybe someone has had something similar and will come along and provide some guidance.

Good luck to you!
