We just got a letter from our service center (seemed generic) stating our case is still pending consideration and that they regret to inform us that they can not give us a timeframe. Looks like contacting the senator's office will be next on my to do list.

Thanks guys! We put in a service request...hopefully that will help.

Hi all!

I just found this forum...I wish I would have seen it months ago. From what it looks like, we might be the last people waiting!

We filed for AOS October 1, 2012. We received the EAD and AP in November of 2012. We received a request for additional evidence in August of 2013 from the Milwaukee office and send in our evidence at the end of August 2013. It has now been over a year and we have still not received the green card and at the end of November, my husband's work permit and AP will expire. I am afraid we are going to have to file for the EAD extension asap!! Does anyone else have any experience with the Milwaukee office? Should I be calling the USCIS as there are also no updates posted for our case on the website nor automated case status? Any help or advice is appreciated!! Thanks.

Hi Everyone! I posted this earlier in the week but someone moved it to the wrong forum. I'm hoping maybe to get a few responses. My fiance and I have our interview coming up on the 24th of April! I have a couple questions/doubts.

#1. I read on one of the reviews that proof of citizenship (copy of birth cerrtificate or passport) was needed for the co-sponsor at the time of interview...I don't recall reading that in any of the instructions though...does anyone have experience with that?

#2. As far as statements from the bank, I had my bank manager fill out a letter with all of the info required...are actaul monthly statements needed as well if all the info is in my letter...I heard it wasn't as I am including my pay stubs with the letter.

#3. Also, maybe just get a few opinions...For the I-134 and tax forms they only asked for 2010, however I have had my 2011's done and filled in the info with my 2011 income as it states "most recent," however, next to most recent it has written in ink 2010. I thought that they would prefer the 2011 but I want to follow everything perfectly! Am I just overthinking everything?

#4. Lastly, when my fiance was called to pick up his packet he was asked if his daughter would be joining us and he said no. The woman said ok, then I will erase her from the system. On the DS-156K I believe, it asks for child's birth certificate but I think it is only if she is accompanying us...is this correct, as she has already been "erased?"

If anyone has any advice, I would love to hear it (especially for the Costa Rican embassy)! I made duplicates of everything, but I was curious if anyone could tell me what they actually took at their interview.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANY RESPONSES!!

Hi,

We are a little over the 5 month point, just waiting for the NOA2. I'm trying to prepare ahead of time. I was wondering if anyone could answer some questions about co-sponsoring. I do not make enough $ and need a co-sponsor...my grandfather is willing to sponsor but he is 83 years old...he has more than enough assets, but do they discriminate against age due to the fact that sponsorship ends upon death of sponsor? I know it is an unpleasant question but I also have a family friend willing to help out as a sponsor...would that be a safer sponsor than my grandfather? Also both sponsors are retired but do have more than enough asses to cover us and the rest of their families. My friend was actually brought here by a fiance visa 25 years ago, I'm not sure if that matters either. I guess I'm just a little confused as to who i should use and when I will need to send in the I-134 and the I-864 or I864a...can I turn them all in at once and speed up the process? Just trying to cover all the bases...any help would be greatly greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Will not be an issue.

What country is your fiance from? I'm not sure I understand what you are saying regarding G-325A and translation. If I'm reading what you wrote correctly, he understands English enough to fill it out on his own in English?

His native language is Spanish but yes, he understands enough to fill out the form. I was just curious if all forms and letter of intention that need his signature have to be in his native language and then translated to English. I'm just trying to avoid all problems or RFE's

Thanks for the help!

I'm new to VJ and preparing my I-129. I have a fews questions that hopefully someone can give me advice.

My fiance has a child, but we are not soliciting a visa for her at this point as she lives with her mother. The form asks to list all children; will this be an issue for us? He does pay child support but on a volutary basis, NOT court/government ordered.

My fiance speaks English, but is not completely fluent. I am having the letter of intent translated but was wondering if the G-325A needs to be translated as well...he understands enough to fill out this form on him own.

Thanks for any advice available!!
