JEC777

We sent out our AOS package in April, had Biometrics in May and received an RFE, which we responded to straight away, received EAD in June and got a letter a couple of weeks ago saying that my case has been identified as a potential interview waiver case and to not expect to hear anything further for 6 months. So I am assuming those who receive the waiver will get the same letter I did and those that get an interview will receive the interview schedule letter.
Good Luck!

Wow. I appreciate that there is a lot of good advice on the Immigration process given here at VJ and it is incredibly helpful..... but I have to say I am frequently surprised how often people take it as an opportunity to give un-solicitored advice on peoples relationships and how people should live their lives. Just my un-solicitored opinion.
Just to add, I'm sure he is just as happy and prepared to leave his country as she is to leave hers.... don't quite get the point you are trying to make in your post

Thank you everyone for your replies, opinions and advice.
I think the move back to Montana is our best and only option. We can put Alaska on the back burner until another day, when we have more resources.
I appreciate what everyone has said about cost of living etc. Both my partner and myself have always had work, always lived by our means and this is the first time he has had any trouble finding work....though the situation he is in isn't surprising considering the limited amount of work available in Alaska and the state of the economy in the USA right now.
I'm sure a number of you find it hard to understand why I would choose to leave Australia where the wages are better and the economy is in great shape. But it is not where either of us want to live. The USA is where we belong. I don't know how many of you are nature lovers, but we are, and we thrive in the outdoors surrounded by nature and would shrivel up in the city. Sure, Australia has wide open spaces, but it doesn't have the mountains and forests and rivers that Alaska and Montana have.....and that is where we feel most alive. Neither of us care about money in the sense that we need the nice house, the nice car all the trimmings (trappings) of the so called good life. We have both been there done that and neither of us felt fulfilled or happy living that way of life. We yearn for the simple life, a roof over our heads, food on the table and the love of our family and friends....that is what is important to us. It is so ironic that we find ourselves in a position of having to prove to the Government that we can support ourselves based on the guidelines they set, when we know we are more than capable of living by our means. I have supported myself comfortably as a single parent for 5 years now living on a lot less than what they deem "sufficient"
Anyway, the job in Montana with his old boss will allow us to meet their requirements and we can get the paperwork done and get on with enjoying our lives together.
Thank you once again for your input.

Ha Ha..."operator" was just making a little joke about how it was you that called the NVC and got the answers you were looking for, not your lawyer who did all the work Invoice your lawyer for the time you spent on hold with the NVC

my partner in the US just emailed to me say he had received the NOA2. We can't believe it and are soooo happy!! How long do we have to provide all the evidence to support the application before the NOA2 expires.
Thank you so much and best of luck to everyone else waiting, I hope the CSC moves just as quickly for everyone!!!
