Received my NOA, date was 07/19 at 6pm.

Question:

Is it possible to receive a RFE AFTER the biometric appointment?

Yes, they start looking at your file after biometrics.

Yes, its normal. biometrics can take up to a month right after NOA, let's see...

Yes, you are approved! the online status for ROC is not working very well apparently, don't pay too much attention

Check was cashed today 07/21/2016.

package arrived 07/18/2016

Hello,

it cannot be removed because the ex-spouse need to be present ?

It is a bit suspicious on their side to see the ex spouse is still on the account, requesting a RFE is actually a good thing so it gives them a chance to explain.

The best is to say the truth, sending a letter with explanation.

So they did not have a joint account ? or the three of them are on it ?

The write to avoid RFE is to write a letter explaining why. this way, they cannot ask for a RFE regarding that matter because they saw you thought about it, and could not provide it for X particular reason.

That is what I did for my package, I do not have a joint account with activity, we will see what happen

You have a lot of evidence, that's great!

I have a joint bank account but no activity, so I did not include it and I wrote a letter as of why we did not use it.

In your case, you have really a lot of evidences... so that's great. you can include the bank statement from the last 2 month and just say you guys had a joint account since then, that's it.

Sent my package today, arriving Monday at 3pm there

I do not have a active joint bank account either...

we have joint health insurance, joint lease, joint credit card, joint bills but the joint account we have we do not use it because I opened my company at the same time and our expenses goes through the company..

Im sending the ROC tomorrow (along with other proofs than the financials), but I wonder...

Filing this month also, the 15th

any help ?

Hi VJ people!

I was reading a lot about how people give a lot attention to joint bank statements...

We opened a joint account but we never used it. The reason is I opened a business the year of our marriage, so all my income and my transaction would go to that account, and for tax purposes I would pay everything under the business.

Because of this, my husband never really change his account where he gets paid to our joint account. It was just easier this way.

However, we have all of the other financial proof :

- joint credit card

- joint health insurance

- joint tax return for 2014 and 2015

- internet bill at both names

- electric bill at both names

other than those financial proof, we also have the following

• HR and Payroll paperwork showing : Married
• Pictures as key moments
• Lease apartment together living together for 4 years

Let me know if you have been in this situation and your case was approved without problem

thank you!

I am in the same situation, we share everything but bank account. we do have a joint bank account but did not use it. this is our proof for ROC, i will be sending this month.

• Joint Apartment lease
• Joint tax return for 2014 & 2015
• Joint Con Edison electric bill for 2 different month
• Joint Verizon internet and Tv bill for 2 different month
• capture of American Express website showing Joint credit card
• Copy of both credit card to proof the screenshot
• Joint health insurance for 2015
• Joint health insurance for 2016
• Plane ticket together
• Payroll showing : Married
• Pictures as key moments

Let me know what you guys think ?

I totally think it is ok if one does not want to share bank account. but we do share everything else.

this topic.

There is a checklist for the greencard adjustment of status but not for those type of visa

Ok, hopefully somebody get to read this

Hello,

I was wondering if any of you have any type of checklist for an e2 employee visa .

I would like to do it on my own, without going through an immigration lawyer. I already have an E2 investor and would like to do the employee sponsor by myself

thank you

Great thank you.

What would be the step to make the entire folder for e2 employee ? Does the website have any step by step information for it ?

Thank you.

Even though if he is in the US with a tourist/business visa ?

Hello,

I have a restaurant in NYC and I am looking to sponsor a french person to be one of the chef. My lawyer said it would be a problem. (E2) But the cost is pretty high...

I have a question..

The french chef is already in the US.. On the form i-129 http://www.uscis.gov/i-129it says that If the desired employee is currently in the United States in a lawful nonimmigrant status, the qualifying employer may file Form I-129 on the employee’s behalf.

Does that mean that I can change his status within the US ?

Thanks a lot

Hello!

I did a walk-in at infopass, and they stamped my passport! just in case...!

Hi Guys!

You are almost there!! and everything will be super fine

Hi teja88,

Don't worry, we all help each other here, in one way or another!

Ok, so :

1) your proof for bonafide marriage are good enough to send the package. while waiting for the interview, try to get more proof (did you travel together? bank account, health insurance, lease etc... everything help!)

2) Regarding the taxes, you have two solutions : Either, you sit down with an accountant (a good one) and try to find a solution, or... you find another USC sponsor , it doesn't have to be him only.
