In "short" our savings went up in flames from:

-birth of daughter cost $1700 in medical costs

-i was docked $5600 due to preeclampsia and doctor  telling me to stop working sooner than expected

- had to pay $600 to cover insurance that lack of pay didn't cover 

-daughter had a $3500 necessary surgery and medical bills at 2 months

-After daughter I had medical issues (diabetes, anemia, etc.) arise that were never present during pregnancy or before previously costing another $1500 and I need additional care that I'm scared to get bc of fear of additional costs 

-husband got $1300 worth of dental work and needs more

 

I thought I was responsible had a good savings amount, everyone has insurance, contributed max to health spending account but the bills were nonstop once my husband and baby came. It was so crazy for us that paying for his AOS was severely delayed longer than we expected. 

 

As as a man he wants more than anything to work to get us out of a hole and living comfortably with no worries of bills. I requested the expedite based on the financial hardships and provided proof of bills and docked pay with a 1 page letter explaining the circumstances. USCIS was understanding and when the card came my husband was so excited. I hate that he felt less than simply bc of the immigration process. 

 

Even with the docked pay last year my income still meets/met the numbers needed to support our family according to guidelines.

 

You shouldn't worry but good luck. It can't hurt to try.

I'm so sorry for the hardships you've been through, I do hope your daughter recovered from her surgery. 

 

But it thank you for the information.  I haven't had my biometrics done yet, so can't do anything til that's done

Any March filers still can't track their receipt number on the site?

 

Since I got my notice, the USCIS case status site keeps telling me that I got an invalid receipt number.

i have a kinda weird question, but has anyone been looking at applying for jobs ready for as soon as they get their EAD?

if so, when you fill out online applications and it says 'are you authorized to work in the united states' have you been saying yes?

Hi guys ,has anyone filled the form I-864 for an unemployed petitional? Because that's my rfe please guys I need a heads-up asap please

Got my RFIE notice in the mail today.  So frustrating because I have sent them the right form and they're still asking for it.  I made a copy of it so I know the form is correct and it's signed also with all the tax documents attached.  I'm sending it again tomorrow.  I know it's not complicated since I already saved the form and have all the documents, but it's the waste of time.  Here what it says:

Hey guys...if my RFIE is requesting the I-864 filled out, I do not need the G-325A also right?  Just wanted to confirm.  Thanks

Your beneficiary needs to fill out a G-325A and submit it to USCIS if she hasn't done that yet.

I already did and it was not asked in the RFIE yellow letter.  Just the I-864 form box is checked.  I just wanted to make sure.

@emchappie I personally haven't been applying but I read on here under the December 2016 filers that if you are searching and applying for job before your EAD comes you should answer "yes" to that question which I feel is appropriate owing to the fact that your case is being adjudicated, if eventually the firm calls for interview you can show them your NOA and explain to them. if they want to keep the job for you they will. hope this helps. good luck.

@Denis & San sad about your RFIE, it is annoying that some times the ineptitude on the part of the personnel handling our cases get so bad to cost us some unnecessary/avoidable expenses and waste of time, all the same stay strong. keep it positive and keep your head above water till we get through with this endless journey as par the G-325A form you may or may not add it to the RFIE as a matter of precaution and not leaving any loopholes. good luck.
