I have communicated with Kez on a few occassions, and she was always pleasant and helpful. I had no idea about her illness, my heart dropped when I read this post. As a fellow Scot, and a great person, Kez will be saddly missed. My condolences to kezzies family and friends

Congratulations on the approval. What all did you get asked at the interview, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks CB,

These are questions I was asked at the interview:

Had I been involved in any terrorist organizations.

Had I ever been deported from the US.

My name, DOB, address.

How we were supporting ourselves financially.

Why I decided to marry my husband.

They asked, who my co-sponsor is, he is a freind of my husbands. They asked him how long he had known him.

They asked my husband:

Where we met.

About his disability (that's why we had a co-sponsor)

I was asked what type of job I was going for as I am looking for work.

She questioned one vaccination on my medical, which was the Varciella (SP) the chicken pox one, but she cleared that with her supervisor.

She photo copied photos from a photo album I'd taken with us, post marked envelopes with proof of address, and some birthday, christmas, and cards from when our son was born. She also took my I-94. My passport had expired so it wasn't stamped.

Card production ordered today! Thanks for everyone's help, and good luck to everyone still waiting for an approval.

I'm guessing since she's British that was a British date for January 8th of 08, not August.

You are correct Caladan, sorry about the confusion there.

Updated list.

Approved

Update: I have received an interview date for 08-01-2008

Congrats on receiving your interview date. Your local office must be busy if your interview isn't until August!

Sorry, that should be 01-08-08. Thanks for the congrats.

Update: I have received an interview date for 08-01-2008

Reading further... the second page talks about medical info.

Now - what on earth do they mean - Do NOT hold your medical until your I-485 interview.

Do they mean go ahead and have your medical info as soon as possible or do not submit your medical

till you have an interview date?

**I need to go back to school, just to understand all this these letters***

aahh, help!

Asamu

What is the RFE asking for?

It's asking for a complete and signed Form I-693 - Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adsjustment of Status.

I wonder if it was something I over looked as I was filling out I-485... oh, boy!

Thanks for your help!

Asamu

Have you had the medical done? If not, I would make an appointment with a civil surgeon ASAP. He will fill out the I-693 that is required. I also got an RFE for the same thing. I was told by my lawyer that they don't need this until the interview, but that was wrong obviously, as I got an RFE for no medical report.

Makes me itchy, yuk!

I voted maybe, if it were a good, trustworthy friend, someone I had known for a long time, then I would let then stay in my house. Otherwise, I would just leave it empty.

Well done for putting them in their place

EAD and AP are included in the total price for AOS.

It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead. The chain of destiny can only be grasped one link at a time.

I wouldn't do any of the options. I would take it to an animal shelter if it was that bad condition wise. I couldn't keep it, my 3 dog's wouldn't like that, lol. I do love kittens though.

Congrats! Your photos are really good

I keep getting logged out like every 5 mins. I know this has happened to other people. This is the first it happened to me, why am I getting logged out all the time?

I'm not sure where you are getting that you will have to wait 6 months. It is usually 90 day's. The sooner you respond to the RFE, the sooner your EAD will begin processing again, and the sooner it will arrive. 90 day's is an estimation, just remember it could be before or after 90 days. If you don't receive the EAD within the 90 day's I would definately be in touch with them about that.

I wouldn't rat them out. I would just tell them straight that I don't want any, and it's annoying that they keep asking. If that doesn't work I would ignore them, they might get the message then. If they don't then they are not true friends in my opinion.

Good luck to you nessa!

No life insurance, but plan to have in the near future. As for a will, well we will decide on that later.

You send copies of the co-sponsors tax returns. Never send any original documents.

Using assets is optional. If you don't need to, don't use them. If you think they will help your case, then add your assets to your application.

When someone asks "Are you busy?" when you are obviously right in the middle of doing something

Maybe your sponsor can give an online print out of their bank account showing the last 6 paycheck deposits (Or request a print out of the last 6 paycheck deposits from a bank officer if they do not bank online).

I don't get paystubs and I used the online deposit print out from my checking account for our K1 (no problems), and for my husbands AOS (We haven't gotten a RFE and our case was recently transfered to CSC).

In your situation just try to document as much as you can and try to make it "fool proof" for the immigration person who will read it. For example include: (1) write a letter saying the sponsor's employer is unwilling to provide a letter of employment , (2) proof of the last 6 pay deposits, (3) a copy of the your sponsor's W-2 and actually write and highlight a note that the income on the WD, when divided by 12 = the monthly deposits, (4) Anything else that could make up for the employer not providing a letter. For example, if your sponsor has been with the same employer for longer than 3 years, include the W2 for more than 3 years. If the business has letterhead, consider having a co-worker, or another manager in the company write a letter stating that they have know the sponsor for X years and that during that time the both worked at___ , where the sponsor worked in the__ department (it doesn't provide a statement about income, but shows that sponsor works there). Also, maybe your sponsor's insurance enrollment forms have the company name, or even their insurance card (sometimes the group name listed is the company), do they have a work ID that can be photocopied? Work e-mails that do not divulge company business and list the company e-mail address. Be sure to staple all of this together, and count all the above combined documents as fulfilment of the the letter of employment, so include seperate copies of the W-2s, and tax-returns.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the information. I never thought of half of the stuff you mentioned, so yes, it helped me a lot. I am going to send my co-sponsors last 3 years tax returns, as my lawyer only sent the past years before the RFE. Usually they just require the most recent, but to be sure, I'm going to send my lawyer the past 3 tax years for my co-sponsor. And also I'm sending the pay stubs. He doesn't have a company name badge or anything like that, good suggestion though. I shall just ask my lawyer to write a letter of explanation in regards to my co-sponsor not having a letter from his employer, and I hope they accept that. Well, thanks again for your help.

I'll start off by saying that my lawyer didn't tell us that we were required to send an employer's letter from our co-sponsors employer. He also did not say that I needed to send the medical results now, he said I have to take the sealed envelope from the civil surgeon to the interveiw. As a result I got an RFE for no medical, which is not a problem. Also the RFE requires us to send tax returns and W2's from our co-sponsor, which we already sent. 6 months of pay stubs, and a letter from our co-sponsors employer. The problem is my co-sponsor has some, but not all pay stubs. He asked his employer for a letter, but the employer refused to give him a letter.

Do you think this is a major problem? Has anyone had an application accepted without the sponsors letter from their employer? Should I have to get a different co-sponsor? Thanks.
