hello VJ members,

As I mentioned in my earliest post that I am July 2017 I751 waiver filler. Before a few days ago I got RFE. I already submitted documents whichever I had. Now I can submit only affidavits( two affidavits from my family members and one from my Ex's uncle) and more photos. Please guide me what else I can do?

Hello

I got married in July 2014. After my immigration process, I came to the US in August 2015. I and my Ex stayed with in-laws ( it was inlaws' home) around 10 months. And because of marriage life problem we got a divorce in February 2017. And I file an I751 waiver in July 2017. I submitted documents

They are asking me for evidence of children........We didn't have any children

 

 

they are asking me for utility or rent bill....... we were living with inlaws home so it was on the inlaws name.

 

they are asking me for will or trust...which we didn't have it

 

 

they are asking me for a joint bank account...which I already provided

 

they are asking me for tax return....which I already did

 

they are asking me for affidavits.....which I can provide. ( 2- from my family members who met with my X and one from my X's uncle)

 

I can also provide more photos 

 

 

 

Other than that what I can do more? Please guide me through.

Looks like they want more proof of a bonafide union of a husband and wife. They want to be sure that this arranged marriage was not arranged simply for the benefit of immigration purposes. 

 

Seems the evidence you sent does not satisfy the officer of an ongoing marital union. Usually, co-mingling of finances, time with family and friends, and trips together would suffice.

You can only send what exists. The items they are asking for are only examples to provide - they don't expect somebody to have all (or even any) of those items....so long as they have other items that show a bona fide marriage.

 

The items you provided are pretty much one-sided or have nothing to do with establishing a bona fide marriage (i.e. DL & state ID card, insurance coverage only covering you, etc.).

The joint account sounds like it wasn't actually being used jointly....it's more of a hurt than help IMO.

 

You can have your in-laws provide a signed statement detailing the housing arrangement.

More photos * from different events (not just ones around the same time as already-submitted ones) * can be provided.

Communications with family members can help (chats, texts, calls, etc.).

Evidence from trips together is helpful.

If you were beneficiaries on any insurances or medical or life plans (including retirement), that can help.

Thank you for your message. Now I am thinking to send

 

Letter from QNB bank that shows we both were using accounts.

I took a screenshot of the Verizon plan that show's me, my Ex and my sister in law in same plan and my Ex was paying money for phone bill ( I took screenshot under setting ---- accounts) I don't have a copy from Verizon

 

Some facebook photograph uploaded by him

 

some facebook photograph uploaded by me

 

some facebook photograph uploaded by sister in law

 

Icloud photos that show date and location where we took pictures ( both me and him and some with family)

 

Gmail shows when I was in India he was handling all my file and everything 

 

same address proof such as His driving license, mine driving license, father in law driving license, My GRE exam receipt, W4 from subway (my first job in US)

In a bank account, he was doing up and down from PA to NJ and some time field trip for his work. We were living with in-laws and I was not driving. So most of the bank transaction is done by him. As joint transaction from checking account was our joint health insurance, for an Indian restaurant, shopping, etc. And I did the little transaction from the subway and near the subway store. other than he was using the card. How should I represent that to immigration that we both were doing, it was comingling not only me. 

 

 

We are separated so I don't think inlaws will help me. But I got affidavit form his immediate uncle. So I will submit that.

 

we did only small trips by car. I can only provide photographs for trips. 

 

I remember he took signature for the beneficiary for his work, but without his permission, I can not get that letter and he is not going to help me. 

 

In health insurance, we had joint health insurance but we had two health insurance card one for him and one for me. I submitted mine but I don't have his health insurance card. 

 

please guide me if you have any suggestions.

Hello everyone,

 

Please guide me 

I filed my I751 waiver in July 2017(VSC ). I got RFE in November 2019 and after reply to my RFE, my file was transferred to NVS on December 20, 2019, to schedule an interview. And since then no updates. Last week I made an info pass appointment in my local office Hartford, CT. They told me right now they are scheduling the 2015 files interviews. And I filed in 2017. So just WAIT WAIT WAIT. 

 

 

 I am so confused. It's almost 2 months but still didn't get interview date yet. This is the last semester of my study. After June 2019 most likely I have to move where I will find my job. I am just worried what if I will not get an interview until June 2019? Because if I will change my address then my file will delay again.

 

I have two option

 

1. Move to the place where I found job and change address (it will delay my file)

2. Stay in the same address until I am done with the interview and after the interview start job.

 

 

what do you think, which option is good for me? I am so worried because I don't want to do anything so it affects to delaying my file (because it's almost 19 months) and I also don't want to take a break in my career. I am trying to find a job near my area but what should I do if I found a job in another area, another state.

 

Please guide what should I do in this situation? Which option is best? And approximately how long it will take to get interview date?
