Relocating to Hubby...Need Tips. Help Please.

[Leedah 22]

Hi all.

I haven't posted in awhile due to....well....heck I've just been plain busy(lazy?? lol).

Anyway, after waiting god knows how long for this process to come to a conclusion, my hubby and I have finally gotten fed up with the wait and I will be relocating to his country (Gambia) until we get farther in the process.

IE-Get a RFE, Get a Touch,...GET A WHISPER IN OUR EARS for goodness sake. lol

See my time line and you will know why i'm getting outta dodge.

Anyway, does anyone have any tips to provide on the following:

1. Good mail forwarding companies (to keep an eye out for info from USCIS).

I did find one company that receives the mail and enters details about it online at their site so that the owner can choose whether he/she wants to forward it to their own address abroad. Anyone know anything about usabox.com?

I took their online tour and it looks pretty good.

2. What papers to bring that I might need for a potential RFE? If you have received an RFE, I'd looooooove to know what it was so that I may make a list and take everything with me just in case its needed later.

3. Domicile. Do I have to keep an address here in the U.S or can I just use a mail forwarding company that offers a street address instead of a P.O. Box as their address? I'm deciding whether to keep paying rent on a place that I'm not even going to be at for the next 2 months (atleast).

4. Employment. I will have some money saved so I won't really need to work, however since I am the only one who can sponsor my hubby, what is the amount that is needed in a bank account to sponsor? It's just 2 people (me and him). How to do the bank route instead of going the paystub route for the affidavit of support.

5. If I stay in the country atleast 6 months and become a resident, can I refile a DCF at that time if the main I130 STILL isn't adjudicated by then. (I know that I'd have to withdraw the main one and file again with the $355).

I think those are all of my questions for now. lol.

Hopefully a few folks will have some idea on atleast one of these questions.

I would also appreciate any other tips and suggestions on my journey.

Thanks!
