ATTENTION : MAY FILERS ... lets keep in touch!

[Michele and Adam 57]

Thanks everyone for the well wishes.

I asked in my letter to everyone who could possibly represent me that in addition to my file being moved along again, that it be given priority. I doubt that will happen. I'm not asking to cut in line; just to be put back in line where I should have been all along. I saw a few people here with very similar timelines to mine, dealing with London, who are having their final interview this month. One person is having it this Thursday. Adam could be MOVING HERE next week. But no. It's perpetually August 16th for me.

I've always been so polite when I call USCIS, but maybe it is time to be firm. I'm clearly just being placated on the phone at this point. It's always some variation of: "well, your file has been ordered out of storage, but we haven't received it yet. Yes, it is normal for it to take this long for a request out of storage".

Oh yeah, but I was told on my last call that "ohhhh....you need to make an appointment via infopass on the USCIS site to see someone, in person, at your local office. They would be the only ones who could 'officially' request your file be taken out of storage"

Haha, I was told the same 'wait 90 days' ####### too!

Yeah, they pretty clearly just lost my file and are making stuff up. Just tell me then! I have a perfect copy here I could send in!

Sheesh. You know, you do everything right. You play by the rules. You pay your enormous fees. And you get no where.

Good luck to everyone who is having troubles, and I will definitely let you know if anything happens (and exactly what I did to make that thing happen!)

Oh yeah, and I was also told that they would call me later that day, when I first called and we discovered the error. No call. Ever. It's been five weeks now since that first call to USCIS.

They have been sitting on your file waaaaay to long. If this was happening to me, I would be calling USCIS everyday until my file was sent. Have you been able to talk with a supervisor? Good luck!

I have a question. I was an international student and went to university in America for four years and got a BA. My USC fiance went to the same college with me and we both transfered to different university but very close ones. And after we engaged, we filed a petition, and then he came to Japan to meet my family. So, our I-129F does not include my USC fiance's boarding pass, a copy of his ticket etc. But, I included tons of my evidence of being with him like documents from school which address to his house ( I lived with him), passport stamps, I-20 from school, transcripts and made sure that I was a student there and went to school from his house. I wonder if USCIS cares if he did not include his evidence. Please anyone give me advice.

As long as the evidence shows that you were both in the same place at the same time you should be fine. When you submited your tanscripts with your address on it did you make any kind of indication that you were both living there together? Is there anything that your fiance sent conecting him to the school that you both went to?

Unfortunately I think there are still some May filers around

Well, our schools are in the same area. The transcript indicates that I was in the US. Everyone is required to prove that he or she was in the US like using a credit card in the US, going to school, hotel receipt, car rental receipt etc. I did not have a credit card or hotel receipt, but I had transcript from my American school, letters, boarding pass, and my fiance also sent a copy of our school IDs. Well, I was a F1 student, so I am sure USCIS has my data in SEVIS system, but we wanted to make sure that I was a student and we lived together. So letters from school to me had my boyfriend address which meant that I was there at that time. (otherwise I could not pick up my mails.) Also I registered his address as my residency to my schools.

The stupid mistake my USC fiance made was that he forgot to high light the address part. It is really dumb for him not to do that. He should have high lighted the important part but he did not. Well, he did not mail our college IDs. He sent a copy of his and my university IDs. We went to the same college, but transfered to different universities. BUT, it does not do anything if he sent our college IDs because these are three four years old and do not prove that we met each other within 2 years. So, he included a letter from my transfered university which was mailed to his house for me. Those letteres are all official and I-20 from my graduate school was also official and more accurate than boarding pass or passport stamps because it states my grad school name, address etc. I am always wondering how passport stamp can prove that couples met each other within 2 years because passport or boading passes do not show exact location right? Not like street name, but I mean like cities or counties at least.

That's why my USC fiance sent additional letters and I-20 which obviously have my name, his address as my residency.

Mirla, I was hoping that you were approved by now. You give life to this place. Hope you are doing okay there.

If that is the case then I think you should be fine
