Recieved NOIR Today

[joenlemy 2]

We have been waiting for this since Feb. 2011. Our case didin't reach CSC until May 2, 2011. This is a bit sooner then we expected, but i'm not complaining. Just relieved that we have it and now we can respond to it. We decided from day 1 to let a lawyer handle our case, and after reading the NOIR I'm glad I did.

I would suggest anybody just getting started to front load their petition, as in our case the Embassy in VN, didin't look at a single piece of evidence, only the photos we had. The more evidenve you send to USCIS the less you have to worry about with the Embassy, IMO.

I live in Va and our case is in Calif. Snail mail bites. . .The noir was mailed out on Sept.7 . It will go back overnight , no snail mail for sure.

This morning I recieved a email from USCIS saying our case was reaffirmed. They got our case on OCT 5, and reaffirmed it in only a week. What a Birthday present :dance:

Now round 2 with consulate in VN.

Thanks to everybody for your support :thumbs:

Hi Joe, I am very happy for you

Pls share the experience.

1. What did the lawyer do from Jan. when you were first put into Admin review

2. What additional evidences did you provide?

3. How much did you pay the Lawyer? And what is his/her name

Thanks you

No Problem Daniel

1) Lawyer interviewed my wife ,and did a back ground check on me. He sttempted to turn in our evidence. but our cas had already been returned to UScis.

2) We had quite a bit of evidence. our joint 2010 tax return. all of our phone records, chat records, money i had sent my wife, letters, cards reciepts for roses i had sent her. the letters she had written me. all of my plane tickets, the visa stamps in my passport. all told we had 4 lbs of evidence.

3) as for cost... priceless, if it helps my wife and I being together. I would say his cost is very reasonable. I asked some stateside lawyers that didn't have his experience, and retaining him was a no brainer. Marc Ellis http://www.marcellislaw.com/
