Thanks you for this info!

I haven't heard of 601a denials due to public charge. I've seen an approval of 601a that couldn't move forward b/c beneficiary couldn't find a co-sponsor . The only denial of 601a I saw when applicant was in deportation proceedings. It seems the new rule applies to adjustment of status applicants only; I am guessing there should be some rules for consular officer to determine if Visa applicant is public charge. In 2013-2014 there was a "reason to believe" rule to deny 601a if there were other inadmissibilities of the applicant, later this rule was cancelled to simplify the process. I don't see why they would deny 601a based on public charge (in some cases hardship is only medical or it's about relocating so they don't have evidence of using government assistance anyway).
 
 
 

Congrats!!!🎉
 

In my RFE I was asked for proof of hardship in separation scenario - more evidence of emotional/psych hardship. They said that statements in psychol. report didn't raise to the level of the extreme. So we submitted a mental health evaluation from a doctor specialist (about 1 page statement) about how my husband feels due to threat and fear of separation and that his prognosis will be worse without my support (some family doctors could do this kind of basic eval.) The doctor recommended him some medication and we included receipts & info sheet. Also, we sent 3 new letters from friends talking about the devastating impact of separation; latest photos, trips together, DOS travel advisory about crime against foreigners, language barrier (if my husband would travel to visit me) and job loss due to the need to travel to visit me often and having limited vacation days; financial burden due to high cots of airfare (we incl. a screenshot or airfare). Again, we have no kids, no debt, no other financial hardship.
I found this link with some samples (5th or 6th letter)

Thank you so much for all the information and welcome back! I feel very lucky to have a chance to hear your experience and advise. I will be going through embassy in Kyiv, I know they are strict but I will be prepared.

Not yet, still waiting for response after RFE...but I want to be prepared.

Oh wow, such a small thing and it caused so much trouble. Another lesson to learn for all of us who is still waiting. Thank you so much for sharing.
 

Congratulations!!!🎉

We have no choice but to keep going. Hopefully one day we'll look back at this like the whole thing was just a bad dream...😑

Oh, no! 😯 Maybe those are from Potomac? The longest I've seen on FB was 4-6 weeks..

Oh yes, I've seen approvals from March 2019 Nebraska on Facebook groups!

Thank you so much for the info, I just requested Proof of Delivery email and it shows it was signed by mr. Miller on Nov.21! Also, the RFE was 8 pages, with a short personal consideration. Thanks to your and other ppl previous posts I was able not to stress out too much. And I sent RFE response without my attorney, b/c after I got RFE I requested a copy of her brief and I saw she made some mistakes in it. Will share more details later, too nervous to talk about it now. Oh, bye the way we have no kids and no debt and I don't work, so no financial hardship.
