  1. Wait, am I missing something? Why would they need an apartment lease together for the I-129F? I’ve never heard of that.
  2. If it’s the affidavits alone that are what is holding this all up, unless you have very minimal other evidence, I would consider whether they are actually worth it. Affidavits are fine, and can be nice supporting evidence, but there are definitely better documents out there to show a bonafide marriage and life together. We only submitted affidavits because as a young couple without kids, joint owned property (we rent), or substantial assets, I felt we needed more extra padding wherever we could get it. If you have a decent amount of other types of evidence, and the affidavits are going to be what makes this a 4 month wait versus a 1 month wait, I would consider just filing without. Especially with what you’re saying about the statements being written completely by the lawyer and just signed off on by the parties, and not their direct statements. In the chance you end up getting and RFE (which you might not!) the delay could potentially be the same that waiting for them to be completed anyway. You could also always bring them along to any interview if you end up having one.
  3. I’m aware of the requirements for ROC interviews, lol. Though since we’re apparently being pedantic now, then I would add that spouses aren’t required for ALL ROC interviews, as divorce waiver filing interviews exist, and there are always the small handful of other unique situations that can crop up. My post mentioned rules limiting access to specifically invited persons, and in your case your wife would likely be one of those specifically-invited people. Your child is likely not. Not sure where I implied otherwise. Every USCIS office is different, all have different pandemic and non-pandemic related rules and guidances. I was literally just saying to do you best to think about and prepare for things possibly not going as swimmingly as you’re hoping, especially with the 5 hour drive situation. That’s never bad advice when dealing with immigration, in my opinion. My reading comprehension is fine, though even if it wasn’t spectacular I would have been able to tell you were being unnecessarily combative for no reason. We’re all limited to giving advice based on the information you provide us. Being rude to members for operating based on that is a weird choice to make.
  4. For those saying they won’t make the kid wait outside, you’d be surprised. Our local USCIS office (Milwaukee) was incredibly strict about their “no one other than specifically invited persons” policy even prior to Covid. I drove with my husband for ROC biometrics in July of 2019 and the block the building was on had a nice handful of people (including me) waiting around for their family members to finish their interviews/other business, and YES there were even some children that appeared to be alone outside. No toddlers, but some that looked as young as 7/8. They did have a guard who seemed to be sort of watching the younger kids, but still, definitely not a situation I would want to be in. You’ve made it very clear that you feel we don’t know your situation enough to provide our input and advice (which is weird since you’re literally on a forum asking for it) but I would just caution not to completely shut down the possibility of there being an issues with bringing your child with you.
  5. OCTOBER 2018 filer here lol Ex finally had his interview today. Is it normal that they didn’t give him a decision right away? His case was a little weird because we ended up divorcing during the 2 1/2+ years it took to adjudicate. I helped him send in divorce paperwork and a few other extra pieces of evidence that cropped up since the time we filed and he requested a change to a divorce waiver filing. It sounded like the interview went well and the guy was friendly and relaxed, so I’m thinking that’s good?
  6. Hi! I’m currently on detail working at a center in Texas caring for and interviewing unaccompanied minors to try and connect them with any relatives they may have in the states. HHS put out a call for any civilian gov workers to be temporarily deployed to help with the influx, and so far me and literally thousands of others from all sorts of agencies have signed on to help out. While they aren’t all toddlers, no, they also aren’t all 16 and 17 year olds. There is a good mix of ages and backgrounds. They are definitely all kids. The conditions aren’t luxurious, and remind me of the picture and videos I would see of hurricane evacuation areas being set up. A lot of this is due to how quickly they have had to have been set up. A lot of these kids didn’t grow up crammed in houses with dirt floors, that seems like a weird and stereotype-based image you invented in your head.
