Are a you a troll?
Your spouse is working his ### off to pay the bills yet you are complaining.
So why can't you work as well since you like to have money always to buy new things for yourself and your daughter?
He is not your slave at your beck and call.

Why can't your fiance get a better job?

I think the bottom line to all of this discussion is right now Rob does not qualify to immigrate to the US for lack of finances. They have rules for a reason. The UK has rules for the other way around. They want to exclude masses of people who will over-burden the welfare system even more. Jen needs to get a better job and you need to save a mountain of cash. When that happens, you can immigrate. Trying to cheat the system is a slippery slope.
Love and $7000 a year won't give you a happy life in America. Do it the proper way or delay your plans.

It is tough when you see people apply for other visa types that seem to overtake you. But you have to think of it like this.
Those people you know with the work visas are applying for work visas. Not residency. Yours/ours is a far superior visa in that it grants permanent residency. Not the chance to work and pay tax for a few years and the leave. But to become a permanent resident (and, if you want, the chance to become a citizen three years later). The USA is one of the most over-subscribed countries when it comes to visas. It seems half the world wants to move there. Hence the huge numbers of applications. Unfortunately because it is such a desirable place for so many, there are many applications that resort to fraud or illegal tactics to get in. These need to be weeded out through careful scrutiny of all documents. There are also people with dishonourable intentions hoping to use the spouse visa process as a means to get into the country "undetected".
For you and me and others here, we are not going there to chase the American Dream. We are going there because our spouses are there and we want to be together. It's just "unfortunate" that our spouses live in the place everyone else wants to live in.
We are being granted a much greater privilege than your friends with the work visas. Wouldn't you want to check someone out before you let them live in your home permanently? It's the same principle - you'd check out a tenant far more than you would the plumber before letting them in the house. So the USA inspects potential residents far more than they do temporary workers.
Are you ready fot the NVC with all your civil documents and financial stuff? The more prepared you are for that stage, the faster it will go.
As my husband says, we can't make it any easier but there's plenty we can do to prevent it being any harder than it is.

Wait for the I-485 NOA1, and then submit the I-131 and I-765 with a photocopy of the NOA1. It won't take very long to arrive in the mail.

hi
the 2015 isn't requires until after April 15, when tax season is over
so if you can't wait until after April 15th, then the current year is 2014 for sending tax

I was in same situation. I told them at Knightsbridge I'd had chicken pox, and also I had a copy of the medical record from my doctor that I'd had shingles as a child (which means I must have had chicken pox). I couldn't see very clearly this stated on the form I got from Knightsbridge, and was a little concerned.
I have just adjusted status and received green card - I got no RFE and no requirement for any further medical checks or vaccinations, so hopefully you won't have any problems.

On the form there is a box to tick called "Varicella History".
That means you have a medical history of having varicella or chickenpox. Yours was probably marked.
Congratulations on the greencard.
