Green Card on deck.

Received on 11/13

Patrick&Sarah · November 14, 2014

Congrats everyone. The wife just got her green card today in the mail. So all in all 10 days from the date it was ordered into production to actually receive it. Depending where and how far off the path you are may take less or more time.

needsmorebutter · November 14, 2014

I'm tardy to the party over here, but thought I'd better add myself to the list!

Spoke to USCIS this morning - the agent told me that the website/system is still kaput, and that VT is still going through March. Wahhhhhhhhh!

Oh well. nothing to do but wait.

Good luck to everyone who's still waiting and congrats to all those who'd been approved!!

Just got the approval letter in the mail today, was approved nov, 10th, online status never changer, it was saying application received even yesterday, well just waiting for the card in hand now, good luck to everyone who still waiting

I wish we could share in all the celebration.

We have had such a roller coaster with all of this since 2011, and I really really thought that shiny greencard would arrive. But when I touched the yellow letter today, I knew better.

Inside it says Notice of Action and indicates that what we submitted wasn't sufficient. Please see below:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has reviewed your Petition and supporting evidence. Your supporting evidence does not sufficiently establish that you and your spouse entered the marriage in good faith and continue to share a life together.

You submitted:

Photocopy of identification documents

Joint 2013 tax documents with no proof that they were filed with IRS (i just submitted the 1040, my fault, will resubmit)

2012 Taxes were filed separately - my husband arrived in the middle of 2012, if we field jointly he would have to be taxed on his world income so we filed separately as many other couples do

Photocopy of joint bank account statements irregularly relating to only two months of your marriage - i printed the month we had the joint account until the present month (idiots) that is why it was two - it spanned for 2 years.

Photocopy of joint telephone bills

Your spouse's life insurance enrollment application with no proof of enrollment (this was an oversight, I will submit the new document)

Photocopy of joint lease

Electricity bills

Three affidavits

Photocopy of pictures

Although the evidence displays both names, it is not enough and does not sufficiently establish in detail, sharing of a common residence, joint ownership of assets, joint responsibility for liabilities, and/or an active commingling of finances throughout the span of your your marriage. Please submit further evidence illustrating a good faith marriage.

I am ready to cry. After all we have been through!! We called and the guy, like a robot, told me to get a lawyer. I asked to speak with a Tier I or II and they put me through. Wait time 143 minutes. We opted for the call back option and started working on putting together the information. Furthermore, I tried to schedule and infopass appointment but it wouldn't let me online, said at this time, no availability. Our due date is February 5th.

The uniqueness of our situation is as follows (and I would like to include this blurb in our letter to USCIS)

We wanted to provide you with a quick background – we met in 2008 and got married on April 30^th, 2011 in Miami where my wife was living. I had to leave to go back to Spain to process our petition legally. This is why we did not share a domicile or finances for 2011. Meanwhile, my wife obtained a full scholarship for her master’s degree in Cleveland and left Miami in June 2011. We spent the summer in Spain, and then she returned to begin her program. I didn’t receive my conditional greencard until July of 2012. In the year that I was waiting, I was accepted to a master’s program in Rhode Island on a fellowship which forbade me to work for the duration of my program. My wife and I both wanted to continue our education. When I moved to the US in August of 2012, we spent two months in Cleveland, and I left for Rhode Island to begin my program while my wife finished the second and final year of her program. This is why we didn’t share a domicile or finances in 2012. In 2013 after she graduated with her MBA in June, we again spent the summer in Spain. Upon our return to Cleveland, we moved her to Rhode Island and signed our first lease together. We stayed in Rhode Island until August 2014, when my wife accepted a job in the D.C. area, which is where we are living now. I would consider us a very modern couple who has separate bank accounts and who don’t make enough money to have a joint savings account. We have one joint account, and will provide you a full detail which was left out before, but this account is mainly used by my wife. I am currently unemployed and searching for a job after graduating from my master’s program in Fine Arts in June 2014. My wife is therefore paying for our expenses. We have a joint lease, property insurance, joint health insurance and I am a beneficiary on my wife’s policies at work. All copies are provided. I don’t drive, so there is no joint car insurance. We do not have children, but are planning a family once we are financially stable. Aside from the financial commingling, we are in every word, a happily married couple who entered our marriage in good faith and who love each other very much. We hope the additional information we provide will be sufficient and will be happy to come in for an interview at your convenience to provide further proof of our marriage.

As you can see, we have been busy, but are now proud owners of two Master's Degrees. I got a job in DC and we moved - maybe the August change of address prompted all of this as it looks that my husband is moving away from me or something like that. When I re-read what I wrote, I started to cry at the very thought that they could deny us for not particular reason.

Please offer advise. Aside from fixing the mistakes we made - we will send IRS printed joint returns for 2013. Our new lease. Our property insurance policy. My medical policy that covers my husband and a snapshot of our Aetna account online, a print out of every single month of the past 2.5 years of our bank account - that I used mainly, both of our degree copies to show we were in school...anything else? We are not the type of couple that have a joint bank account, and that won't change. I am at a loss. I cannot believe that this is happening. I feel like I"m gonna have to give birth before they give us the greencard :-(

milki422 · November 15, 2014

i totally feel you.

when i recieved rfe, i got panich and cried so much because i have been waiting for it so bad..

i submitted but they said..

-2012&2013 tax not properly filed by irs( it means tax transcript, i didnt know.)

-copies of joint bank account ( i only sent front pgs that showed our balance)

-copy of joint lease( 2012&2013)- 2013 one i missed front pg lease agreement.

-copy of bank of america credit card( that is mine which issued for student so, my husband cant be joint holder.)

-copy of joint auto policy with card

-copy of joint at&t bill

-copy of my college documents

-copy of our id copy,his citizen copy,bank card picture

-two third party of affidavit

-photographs

so, i'm preparing

-2012&2013 tax transcript

-bank statement with activities for 2012~current

-2013 lease agreement and 2014 renew agreement

-joint auto poilcy of 2013 which showed beneficiary and renew 2014 policy

-more at&t bills after i sent the first package

-my college proved letter that i attending school and show the address.

-utility bills( i dont have bill under mine, all my husband)- some cable bill record and electricity bill for last year to current)

(we moved every year, so some ot bills are gone)

-will and power of attorney

-affidavit from 2 friends

-letter from banker we have our account together

-bj(like costco) memebership card

-medical reciept from gyneology

-immigration check reciept of 2012 and recent one

that's all i can try now.

if you have any different ideas, please share with me.

hope we get a good news soon. lol

I wish we could share in all the celebration.

We have had such a roller coaster with all of this since 2011, and I really really thought that shiny greencard would arrive. But when I touched the yellow letter today, I knew better.

Inside it says Notice of Action and indicates that what we submitted wasn't sufficient. Please see below:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has reviewed your Petition and supporting evidence. Your supporting evidence does not sufficiently establish that you and your spouse entered the marriage in good faith and continue to share a life together.

You submitted:

Photocopy of identification documents

Joint 2013 tax documents with no proof that they were filed with IRS (i just submitted the 1040, my fault, will resubmit)

2012 Taxes were filed separately - my husband arrived in the middle of 2012, if we field jointly he would have to be taxed on his world income so we filed separately as many other couples do

Photocopy of joint bank account statements irregularly relating to only two months of your marriage - i printed the month we had the joint account until the present month (idiots) that is why it was two - it spanned for 2 years.

Photocopy of joint telephone bills

Your spouse's life insurance enrollment application with no proof of enrollment (this was an oversight, I will submit the new document)

Photocopy of joint lease

Electricity bills

Three affidavits

Photocopy of pictures

Although the evidence displays both names, it is not enough and does not sufficiently establish in detail, sharing of a common residence, joint ownership of assets, joint responsibility for liabilities, and/or an active commingling of finances throughout the span of your your marriage. Please submit further evidence illustrating a good faith marriage.

I am ready to cry. After all we have been through!! We called and the guy, like a robot, told me to get a lawyer. I asked to speak with a Tier I or II and they put me through. Wait time 143 minutes. We opted for the call back option and started working on putting together the information. Furthermore, I tried to schedule and infopass appointment but it wouldn't let me online, said at this time, no availability. Our due date is February 5th.

The uniqueness of our situation is as follows (and I would like to include this blurb in our letter to USCIS)

We wanted to provide you with a quick background – we met in 2008 and got married on April 30^th, 2011 in Miami where my wife was living. I had to leave to go back to Spain to process our petition legally. This is why we did not share a domicile or finances for 2011. Meanwhile, my wife obtained a full scholarship for her master’s degree in Cleveland and left Miami in June 2011. We spent the summer in Spain, and then she returned to begin her program. I didn’t receive my conditional greencard until July of 2012. In the year that I was waiting, I was accepted to a master’s program in Rhode Island on a fellowship which forbade me to work for the duration of my program. My wife and I both wanted to continue our education. When I moved to the US in August of 2012, we spent two months in Cleveland, and I left for Rhode Island to begin my program while my wife finished the second and final year of her program. This is why we didn’t share a domicile or finances in 2012. In 2013 after she graduated with her MBA in June, we again spent the summer in Spain. Upon our return to Cleveland, we moved her to Rhode Island and signed our first lease together. We stayed in Rhode Island until August 2014, when my wife accepted a job in the D.C. area, which is where we are living now. I would consider us a very modern couple who has separate bank accounts and who don’t make enough money to have a joint savings account. We have one joint account, and will provide you a full detail which was left out before, but this account is mainly used by my wife. I am currently unemployed and searching for a job after graduating from my master’s program in Fine Arts in June 2014. My wife is therefore paying for our expenses. We have a joint lease, property insurance, joint health insurance and I am a beneficiary on my wife’s policies at work. All copies are provided. I don’t drive, so there is no joint car insurance. We do not have children, but are planning a family once we are financially stable.

I know it's awful to say, but I am so glad I'm not alone. I just talked to a Tier II guy and he alleviated my fears. Basically we will have to most likely come in for an interview, and I'm fine with that. I will submit the following in January (after Christmas, as my parents are going to Spain to be with his family and us!) The guy also told us the more affidavits the better - if you can even get someone like new neighbors that don't really know you to sign off, not sure how comfortable they are with that.

· Copy IRS Tax Transcript for Year 2013, Married filing jointly – Originally Submitted as Form 1040 only.

· Copy of joint bank statements from October 2012-November 2014 – Originally submitted two months.

· Copy of Health Insurance policy

· Copy of Retirement policy with petitioner as beneficiary

· Print screen of Aetna benefits showing we are using them together

· Copy of Joint Lease agreement from our new apartment in Northern Virginia.

· Copies of both of our Master’s Degrees showing graduation date.

· Four (4) original signed and sworn affidavits of support letters– supervisor, new neighbors, 2 friends.

· Tickets to Madrid, Spain for my parents, me and my husband. We will fly separately due to work schedules.

· Photos taken with friends and family – including Thanksgiving Holiday and Christmas Holiday.
