That is not likely to happen unless you receive RFE(s) and do not respond in time. Or respond with incorrect or inadequate evidence.

At this point, there's no reason to panic as not much has happened yet. Be prepared to answer a lot of questions and build a portfolio of evidence showing cohabitation and commingling of finances.

Good luck.

Thanks for your words! That calms me a bit

And I will definitely do that! Thank you very much!!

If you were to send in a letter like me, yeah it's probably better to wait for the 1st NOA since you need a copy of it. I couldn't tell you what an officer examining AOS cases will think about our mistakes though. Like I said, I'll find out at my interview next week and update accordingly.

Okay I'll wait and then I will definitely send in a letter.

Did you attach copies of ur passports entry stamps? I dont think someone will get a stamp if they entered illegally without an inspection, or do they still get a stamp somehow? I also provided my I-94 Number so they can search my entries etc.

But anyways, good luck for you interview and please tell me how it went

I did the same thing as you. I sent in a copy of my I-797C and an explanation letter of the mistake. No idea if it was received or how it will be viewed by the officer, but I do have an interview coming up next week. If it's an issue I'm sure the officer will try to address it/clarify it somehow with me during the interview.

Thank you very much for your answer!! So I have to wait for my 1st NOA in order for me to explain this, right? Cause right now we are still waiting for our 1st NOA and I think it will be very hard for them to figure it out if I would send it without an A-number. Did I get this right? : $

***edit***

I also just noticed that I accidentally put my 'X' on the I-130 when it was asking me if I was inspected by an officer at 'N o'. But I was inspected. I took it as if they wanted to know if they searched my luggage But I did attach my copies of my passport stamps though. Does that proof that I got inspected and I just did a mistake?? :/

Congratulations!!!

Yes, it is a lot indeed! Thats why im so scared and worried they will deny me without having an interview

But yes, I did enter on a 90 Day VWP entered on Sept. 5th, got married without planning on the 15th and filed for AOS on November 22nd, but it arrived in Chicago on the 25th.

I did my timeline, hopefully correctly:$ if not, just let me know if possible.

Yup my case isnt as easy as others might be. But im wondering if the "issues" are reasons for denial without having an Interview?

Or would they send an RFE in my case before they actually deny it?

Or actually, what are reasons for them to deny AOS without an interview including I-130 etc.?

I will definitely call Lufthansa and talk to them cause I definitely dont want them to say that I was on the plane..I definitely dont want any more issues.

Hey guys!

My name is Lena, im from Germany and Me and my Wife (Same-Sex couple) got married spontaneously (!!) on September 15th in hidalgo county (RGV) Texas.

We filed for AOS on November 22nd and it arrived in Chicago the day after Thanksgiving. I know we took a while to file but it was because we were very unsure how to fill it out so we researched a lot!!

But right now its getting to the point where its getting closer for me to return Home on December 5th!

We didn't get an answer yet so I really am freaking out. Do I have to let the Airline know that I filed for AOS so im not leaving until I get an answer from them? Or can I just stay and basically miss my flight?

There is also another reason why im kind of freaking out because I entered the country on September 7th but we got married on Sept. 15th 'already'. Which wasn't planned at all though! She was off from Sept. 12th to the 18th. We went to the beach to have a nice time and I also missed being at the beach. I went into the Water to cool off cause im not used to the heat at all lol and once I came back, she got on her knees telling me in tears that she saw me right now and that she cannot imagine being without me again. She told me that all these times she had to drop me off on the Airport and tell me Goodbye were the hardest things she ever had to do in her live..she said it tore her heart apart. She told me that she loves me with every single piece of her body and that she is not able to handle the whole situation of dropping me off at the Airport to tell me goodbye and give me one last kiss again. She told me that she cannot see herself without me and sure enough she asked me if I want to marry her..without a ring but Hey! Of course I said yes!! Cause im feeling the exact same way.

Another thing is, that I got my international birth certificate issued on September 6th which is the day before I left. But I didnt get it because I wanted to get married or anything like that, I got it because my Mom asked me on the 5th if I really have all the documents I might need for just in case there's an emergency and she started naming them...the birth certificate was one of them. So the next day we went to the office to get it.

I dont know if the USCIS officers might take it as 'oh! Thats suspicious, she wanted to stay and had everything planned'.

But unfortunately thats not it! She recently got divorced on August 2nd 2016 from her husband after being separated for 1 year. Will that affect my AOS as well? :'(

I also dont have a Job over there in Germany because when I left in February 2016 to go back with her for 3 Months (she was over there in Germany with me for 3 Months and I went back with her so we spent 6 Months together) I had to quit my Job cause my boss was a real mean and selfish woman so she wouldn't allow me to leave and just come back and work for her.

So, its a lot of stuff that im worried about!

We sent the AOS package with everything they asked for which includes evidence to proof that our marriage is real, that we visited each other etc.

But I came across a thread from here which says that its not a good idea to file for aos if you entered with umm I believe its called ESTA visa? Or VWP?

Is it true that its not a good idea? I really am scared to get a notification that our AOS (including I-130) was denied before even having an Interview! Im not so worried about the interview cause we really got nothing to hide, im only extremely worried that they will look at the paperwork and deny it :'(

Am I just freaking out or am I really on a high risk of being denied?

I hope some experienced users can give me some answers.

Thank you very much in advance!!

Okay Thanks!

Could someone also tell me what we have to put where it says 'In Care of Name' at the I-864 form Mailing address?

Do we have to put mine (im the immigrant) or my wife's? (Shes sponsoring me, as well as her sister as a Co-sponsor).

Hey guys.

Right now im filling out the G-325A and im wondering if I have to put in my Address from Germany where it says present time or do I have to put in the Address from the USA where im at right now?

Its because im here as a visitor but me and my wife married spontaneously.

Thank you guys soooo soo much!!!

That calms me a lot

I will definitely check out this forum a little more!

I was just panicking so I had no time to really get into it, sorry about that :$

Thank you very much!!!!

I called my wife as I panicked because of that and she said tomorrow we will go to her bank (wells fargo) and try to put me in her Bank account. Would that be evidence as well?

Right now this is what we have:

-copy of marriage certificate

- today we're gonna have the affidavit of her best friend and eventually from her mom because we are living at her parents house right now until we finished painting the other house

-pictures of us and together with my family in Germany

-pictures of her that I took while we were on skype

-Screenshots of our phone calls on Viber

- flight tickets and boarding passes from our visits

- eventually Screenshots of our call log from skype

And thats all I can think of right now.

Would that be enough evidence for the filing? For the interview we could definitely show more than that. Such as a House under both of our names and definitely the Bank account.

Right now im just sooo worried that they are going to deny my application because we have nothing in Joint together right now

**edit**

We do have a Phone plan with t-mobile together under both of our names tho.

Hey guys!

My name is Lena and I had a quick question.

Me and my wife are about to file for AOS.

Now, in the I-130 instructions, they say that they want something like a joint bank account as proof that our marriage is real.

Is this necessary for filing or can I also just bring it to the interview?

Cause right now we only have pictures together and the affidavit of her Best Friend.
