homeward bound

Time to obsessively check again and again and again and again and again...

This is my adopted baby. His owner passed away and he never left her side. In fact, she was deceased for about 4 days and he licked a spot on her face raw - I think he was trying to wake her up. He does that to me if I stay in bed too long. He has been such a sweetheart and is very happy to have a new home.

I totally sympathize with you. In fact, I sympathize with all of the filers that seem to be left in the dust (because that is exactly how I feel). I just received an RFE and totally know how much it sucks. Man, they make you wait for 6 months and then they inform the need for more information. AND - get this, it's information that they didn't even ask for at the start of this ordeal. I am still so livid over my RFE. The USCIS email stated that they mailed my notice on a particular day and I didn't get it until 18 days later. It was even postmarked 13 days after they said they mailed it!

This process is so hard and so stressful. I hope that we make it through unscathed.

I am wishing you all the best of luck in this process and a very Merry Christmas and the hopes the the new year will bring our loved ones home where they belong!

June 6th 2007 I submitted my petion to CSC and still waiting..

Well join the First week of June forgotten club........I trully believe I should of filed in late July I would of be approved a month ago.......Had 3 touches but mostly from my phone calls I think....So I feel your frustration, pain and felling of total anger at USCIS........Virgil Ric and I are with ya.......Lora

I feel like I can join the "June Forgotten Club" but I actually belong to the "July Forgotten Club".

It's back up and running! Don't everyone run at once - we may break it. LOL

Did it have the stamp or was it signed? USCIS states that it has to be signed.

But they are now asking for a signed decree by a judge or a legal authority by the UK resident. My solicitor is willing to write a letter stating that they don't sign it - will this be enough evidence?

Who is asking?

See the above reply to Eli. This is what the USCIS is requesting for further evidence.

Tell me, how exactly do you know they are now asking for a signed decree by a judge or a legal authority by the UK resident? Did you read this somewhere? Is this your solicitor's advice?

This is an RFE from the USCIS. They are the ones requesting this information even though they already have a copy of the divorce decree. I don't know what else to do?

I see that there are a lot of UK citizens here and I have a question for you. This pertains to a divorce decree. When you sent your evidence to the USCIS, were you able to obtain a certified divorce decree? If so, how? If not did you send a copy of the regular decree with the red stamp on it? Was it approved? Just looking for a little assistance. Thank you.

But they are now asking for a signed decree by a judge or a legal authority by the UK resident. My solicitor is willing to write a letter stating that they don't sign it - will this be enough evidence?

Is it true that the British courts do not sign Decree Absolute cartificates. It is issued by the court with their stamp. My solicitor has offered to write a letter stating this is a genuine Decree Absolute and that the courts do not sign them. There must be someone on this visa forum who has come against this surely??
