I am trying to apply visa for my in-laws( mother in-law and father in-law). However, there one letter mismatch with their last names. 

What proofs do I need to provide ? 

 

Please help me !!

Get your documents corrected first with the correct information, then Have them apply for the tourist visa, you do not apply.

the visa is based on their circumstances

Iraq war: the greatest intelligence failure in living memory

Snip

 

Much of the key intelligence that was used to justify the war was based on fabrication, wishful thinking and lies - and as subsequent investigations showed, it was dramatically wrong. Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

Very true, but I seriously doubt a majority of the peopole here would understand this unless you have a military background

  How exactly does the president ignoring the findings of the intelligence community and endorsing Putin equate with "enforcing the law"?  

 

  

Read above, our intelegence community is a joke, they are political and not reliable

   You keep blaming the other side, instead of the jackass in office who squarely deserves most of the blame. That's called deflection.

And here is the typical liberal, blame the President for enforcing the United States Laws.......

very sad

Yep had all of those. Tickets to and from england for both of us as well as passport stamps upon arrival and student visas. Tickets to and from our visit to see his family in Turkey as well as passport stamps for that visit too. And his ticket and passport stamp to come see me in the US. 

Only thing I can think of was it was clearly marked for the uscis adjudicator to understand, remember they look at who knows how many petitions a day, remember you have to section it out for them and label everything. Almost like a file, lay your timeline out for them, make it easy to understand.

imaging if you were in there shoes and a bunch of evidence came with a petition andyou had to sort thru it all. 

Only my thoughts......

We sent photos together from my graduation ceremony with my mom there, photos traveling to meet his family in Turkey, photos with mutual friends, photos hiking together, just selfie's we'd taken over a coffee. Probably like 20 in total all labeled with dates. How is providing photos together, a letter about how we met, passport stamps that we were in the same place not enough information? I think that is pretty standard from what I've seen on VJ. And we got a RFE saying it was not sufficient. We then resent with a table of contents at the front and letters from my parents and a mutual friend about our relationship and it was accepted.... 

 

I don't get what else you think should have been included. 

Travel itinerary to foreign country, airplane tickets, receipts of purchases? Photos can be photoshopped

Yes but those things fulfill the K1 requirement as it petitions for a fiance, not someone you already live with. There are many on this site who have only met face to face briefly before getting a K1 let alone living in the same country for an extended period of time. 

I understand that, but the object of the game is to provide solid quality proof in the petition, that is what we are getting at,  not just minimal proof

1 minute ago, Unidentified said:

Yeah, with the new guidelines I would assume it would be denied because it is clear you did not send in any evidence of actually meeting. You only proved both of you were in England. You had nothing that showed you actually lived together. Proof of living together would be stuff with a joint address on them. Like both names on a lease or similar. 

Yep, what people think and actually sent are 2 different things

But what does this mean when USCIS seemingly loses information and therefore issues an RFE?

 

For example, we heavily frontloaded our K1 with evidence of our relationship and still got an RFE asking us to prove that we have met in person and we are pretty sure USCIS lost part of our packet or something.... So now would this just be denied? Seems quite silly. 

Not really, you say you are pretty sure, are you 100% sure? Stuff happens on both side, petitioner and uscis.

if you did send everything, well then call them and raise heck with them.

i cannot answer for uscis

Traveling to Thailand later this year for my job, so they are paying. It has no bearing on the AOS fee and why we can't afford it right now.

 

Not that it is the business of anybody here.

When you said they are paying, that is where the confusion came in

Don't follow your logic.

 

My fiancee and I are young (mid 20s), and just beginning our life. My savings were spent on the K1 process. I'm not 60 with SS and a retirement fund.

 

Now she is here and I am providing for 2 people. My savings were exhausted and we are more or less paycheck-to-paycheck. It will take a few months to save for the fee. However, we need to travel soon (for my work, this trip is free for us both so it's not important to our situation other than needing the travel document). I didn't say someone else is paying the fee. I said my job is sending me (and her) to Thailand. Absolutely nothing to do with the AOS or K1. Why are you on about it?

So my question is : is it possible to get a waiver? Someone told me it is not, but I can pay with a card.

 

All my questions are answered so why are you still commenting and being judgemental?

I am not being judgemental, here is the reality of it, pay the fee and files for AOS, otherwise, I do not believe that your wife can leave the country without the advance parole. If you say you do not have the money for it, than you have to wait.

there is no waiver available, so either pay by cash, check or charge or unfortunately, your wife cannot go

I have said it before and I will say it again, priorities people.

sorry, op, you sunk yourself on this one. Just pay the fees and either stop being cheap or scam the system.

Then why are you discussing the credit card fee for the AOS?

5 minutes ago, Unidentified said:

Well, I was more thinking about people who can't handle being told what to do and who get talked to aggressively when they mess up. 

 

When it comes to benefits... Sorry, I am from Sweden. I am all for increasing benefits for workers in this country. Especially extend the paid maternity leave for women. I don't think a woman should have to leave their baby home with a nanny when it's only a few weeks old and still should be creating a bond with the mother. 

 

Though since you're not the lawmaker they're definitely barking up the wrong tree. 

 

 

No, but I agree. I have one woman in my office and if she had a baby, I would try to treat her correctly.

that is just me tho, I am a family owned business and plan to stay that way..... we take care of our own

Yes this is our worry. Also we have to travel back to Thailand at the end of this year, and I believe she won't be allowed to do that until the EAD is received. We can't wait much longer to start.

How do you pay with credit? I thought they only accepted check or money order?

So you do have the money to pay and you and are saving money for a trip.

just asking, why are you asking to file for a waiver when there clearly is money in your household?

this is not good, these are the reason for the new USCIS rules!

I did not. I was never into roasting. In my own personal opinion roasts usually go too far (yes, I know that's the point) and I choose not to watch them. But I don't see why it shouldn't be a problem if both parties are okay with them. 

 

But I do believe this society is going down the drain because we can't handle anything negative. How are these people who need safe space going to make it in the real world? 

A majority of people cannot handle it in the real world. I have tried to hire some younger people for my business and they demand more benefit than I get as the business owner.

it is very sad indeed.

2 minutes ago, Unidentified said:

Probably because our entire world has turned into some kind of fluffy cloud society where it has become ugly to state the truth. We need safe spaces, protection from "triggers" and oh my gosh you're racist if you make a joke about another person's race. We used to have funny black comedians making jokes about white people and white comedians making jokes about black people and now suddenly it's offensive. I believe it used to be called a joke?

 

Oh well, back on topic before I start another rant...

I agree totally, I can not sugarcoat anything, as you will see from my posts. Heck, do you remember the dean Martin roasts or the movie blazing saddles, they could never do that in today world.

The only people that this is affecting are those that put the very bare minimum into a petition and then submitting it. They are the ones that come on here that get RFE's for not submitting evidence that is common sense needed in a petition because they think that bringing all the evidence to the actual interview is better than front loading the petition. All of this time spent sending and receiving RFEs is better spent on petitions that actually have everything put together the first time.

Totally agree 👍

Realistically? A few months. If I had $1500 to spare I obviously wouldn't be making this post. I don't know why people are criticizing me.

We are to marry this week, but she just wants to start working and having her own money sooner rather than later. Also we need to travel back to Thailand later this year.

Not critizing you, but you should have prepared for this a while ago.

this way people can bank (save up their money) for the furure expenses

You don't see how someone can earn above than the poverty line, but still live paycheck-to-paycheck? Not farfetched when you have bills, debts, and are the only income-earner in the household.

 

 

65% of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings. I think you guys may need a bit a wakeup call.

Well, we have bill, debt and even businesses, but we made it thru.

if I am not mistaken, another poster said entry was in June, this expense should have been already assumed by the sponsor and he/she should have prepared for it.

as far as people falling on hard times..... well. Every person creates and makes their own destiny. I would suggest a second job to pay the fees

Those people shouldn't even be submitting anything. They're the problem. This is the solution. So they can deny them right away and stop wasting our time.

" "Read together, this means one thing: You better get it right the first time," he wrote in a series of tweets on Sunday. "As an immigration and citizenship lawyer, this effectively means the system just got a lot more unforgiving. Even a simple, straightforward application, one that might be considered 'routine' -- can no longer be so considered."

 

This policy change is great news for attorneys......more scared filers equal more money....

Ugh, just read the directions and file the petition correctly the first time, there will not be any issues. The only reason I can see this being an issues is for the people that are trying to play the immigration system.

and please as I have mentioned several times, please do mutiple researches for information, do not rely on one new source
