    I think if its their error then you do have to pay the fees for the motion when you file it- but then you are able to get the fees back when its decided it was in fact their error. Its not quick but it is possible. Look into it and if you need help finding info on that let me know and Ill see what I can dig up about it. 

    Good morning, I got an update saying after review my case has been reopened and a card is being produced. Do you know if that is my greencard or a renewed Ead card? I'm excited but don't want to get ahead of myself as if been bitten before. Any advice or info would be amazing. The uscis website is as vague as always.

    Thank you! I thought that money was long gone. Fingers crossed it comes back in my favor!

    Scotland: Available. If a divorce has taken place after May 1, 1984, a decree from the divorce is available from the Registrar General, New Register House, Edinburgh EH1 3YT. If the divorce took place before March, 1984, a decree from the divorce is available from the Deputy Clerk of Sessions, 1 Parliament Square, Edinburgh EH1 1RQ. A marriage extract issued by the Deputy Clerk of Sessions subsequent to the granting of a divorce in Scotland (of a marriage, which has taken place in Scotland,) will bear an endorsement relating to the divorce.

     

    The above is the requirements for divorce decrees for Scotland. So as long as you sent the proper paper needed you should be OK.  Do you have a copy of the 290B you filed? There are different things you can choose on the form. Just based on how much time has passed it seems the attny chose filing it so it has to go to the BIA. That can take around 1 year to process so you should be hearing something soon but maybe not so soon due to the current virus concerns- a lot of things are getting shut down and Im pretty sure they dont consider BIA appeals to be necessary work. 

    Thanks for the reply. At the time of filing the I-290B I also included letters from the register office in Edinburgh and a letter for the sheriff Court that issued the divorce. Both saying that the certificate I supplied is the only form I will ever get. It's just frustrating that their mistake his cost us even more monry and time. I hope you're right and I'll hear on due course once things reopen after the Corona virus shutdown. 

     

    Thanks again. Stay safe. 

  4. I had my AOS greencard denied in Dec 2018. I had my interview in Charleston. It went well. I got told to expect my greencard just after Christmas.

     

    The following day I got an email update saying I had an RFE. I had to wait a few weeks for the letter to arrive. They wouldn't tell me over the phone what the RFE was. I turned out they believed my divorce decree from my first marriage wasn't the full form as it says "extract" on it. Every certificate in scotland whether it be birth, death, marriage or divorce is called an "extract" as is it an extract of the national register. 

     

    I called uscis to explain this. They said if this is the case to resend the original document. After a few weeks I got the letter saying my AOS had been denied because I had sent the same document. After a few weeks of panic, thinking I'd have to leave my wife and the states we found a lawyer and filed the I-290B as this was an error on their side. 

     

    Fast forward 357days from receipt and I still haven't heard a word. Has anyone else been in this situation? Any advice would be amazing.

    Planned expansion to all offices is by end of FY19 (later next year).

    Hey guys, I got my RFE. Super frustrating. They want a copy of my divorce Decree from my first marriage. I had the original and a copy in my folder with me at the interview. We posted it today. Hopefully it doesn't hold things up too much.

    USCIS online status is notorious for showing incorrect information. That being said, there is a slight chance that there is something they realized that they did not have. 

    I would sign up for the next available infopass and go in to talk to them. 

    Thanks for your reply. 

     

    The office is nearly 3hrs away. Not so easy to visit. 

     

    I called them and explained what happened. The guy just apologised but didn't know why we were told this. To add to my frustration when I asked if he could tell my what evidence is needed he told me he could see it but couldn't tell me. He also said no one else could tell me even under these circumstances of being given false hope and the wrong information. 

  7. We had our AOS interview yesterday. It went really well.

     

    We had a binder with all our original copies of certificates and ID plus copies for them to keep. We had our evidence of cohabitation with various joint accounts and shared insurance and various pictures of the wedding and married life. The officer asked a few questions and didn't even look at the binder. He was happy to tell us that he was satisfied and I would receive my GC in 2 weeks.

     

    Out of curiosity I check the case status when we got home and it has said "RFE has been mailed" really confused and a little annoyed as we have told a lot of people it's all done and dusted. I'll be frustrated if the RFE is for something we had with us. 

     

    Has anyone else seen this happen?

    Hi, 

     

    Just wondering if anyone can help me, my fiancé has just sent off our RFE so I’m anticipating we will receive our NOA2 soon so want to start getting bits and pieces together. I rang my doctors surgery and asked about getting a medical summary (because I didn’t really want to book an appointment to waste the doctors time) and the receptionist told me that getting a medical summary is classified as private care and so I would have to pay for it. Has anyone else had paid for their medical summary from the GP?

     

    Thanks in advance!

    My summary was free but I had to pay £14 after my medical. They requested more info on some hospital stays.

    Would really appreciate some help with this.  It says on the embassy website that when you have had your medical to book your interview.  Can you not do this before?  And also, which is my main question, do people know what the current wait time is to get an interview date for the K1 FIANCEE VISA interview?  I hope its not long.  If I booked today would I be waiting weeks or months?

     

    Thanks

    I booked my interview on Saturday past and the first available interview date was the 3rd week in May. I have mine on the 17th. There were a few a points in the days before but they were too early in the morning for me to get down in time.

    Oh gosh, that's far and such a hassle. 

     

    We attached letter of employment stating how much my sponsor makes (same for me), bank statement, two to three pay stubs, two to three W2s, and my state ID (they asked for it for some weird reason).

    Yeah, the trouble with living so far north lol.

     

    Thanks so much. I really appreciate your help. Keep me posted with your progress. All the best.

    My fiance is Lincoln, he paid about a 100 pounds for trains for medical and interview!

     

    Yes, you do. The fee for the I-129F itself is just to apply, it has nothing to do with the medical or interview. The medical was around 300 something pounds--you pay at the medical. For the interview, once your case says 'Ready' on the CEAC tracker, you will pay on the London Embassy website which was 200 something pounds. Sorry, I'm American and my keyboard doesn't have the pound symbol lol.

    Lol no worries. Thanks again. I should hopefully get flights for £100-150 per trip. Its a pain you can't do both in the same day. The train would take me over 10 hrs each way. I'd have to stay over night. Cheaper to fly down and back in the same day. 

     

    I hope you get your good news soon. Was there any other evidence other than the I-134 form needed? Strange how some are getting asked and others aren't. Thanks again for your help.
