Why are everyone freaking out why would they do that? the NVC doesn't usually send case back to USCIS, something fishy came up on the case and NVC send it back to be re-adjudicated, maybe the OP needs to find out if his/her fiance had any previous application filed on his/her behalf or an arrest.

NVC sent it back for a reason, just find out what was the reason before proceeding with Senator or Congressman.

Again you don't need affidavits, they are optional. Unless your evidence of sharing and living your life together is very thin. Most couples with legit relationship has solid proof of ongoing relationship doesn't bother with them. We never used these and approved. If your relationship with your Spouse is real, you shouldn't need someone else to affirm that to USCIS.

Unless I am going to travel abroad my Green Card is in the sate box to stay, not even USCIS itself will change that. If it was free of charge to replace then I would carry it with me at all times.

Only JFK issue them and there has been notice that they might stop issuing them because they appeared to be useless, and no employer in the US will hire you with a work permit of 90 days validity on it.

Coming to the US with a tourist visa with the intention to marry and AOS is illegal and should be discourage by VJ members, I strongly suggest you if you want your wife to move here permanently just do a k1 petition or CR1 whichever you'd prefer.

Hey Simel, have you received your GC?

Affidavits from people affirming the validity of your marriage are optional, and are used by people with thin proof of ongoing relationship. But yes your bother-in-law can do that.

I live in US and my 90 days period to send my I-751 is coming soon. During these 90 days I want to go on vacation outside US for 2 weeks. My question is: can I send the form and be outside the country for 2 weeks or should I wait and send it after I come back?

#1 Yes, as long as you complete your BIO appointment before you leave and have your NOA1 GC extension handy.

#2 Yes, however its highly recommended to mail your application within the 90 days period.

the letter says " during the interview you could not provide the evidence of an ongoing communication and relation with petitioner .

You have also mentioned that you met the petitioner once for two weeks over a year ago . The counselor officer was not convinced of an ongoing relation between the beneficiary and the petitioner .We are returning the petition to the NVC . Any further inquiries may be addressed to the USCIS."

well i took more than a 100 emails , chats and skype printouts ,6 months of telephone bills which included text msgs ( we had a lot of telephone conversation history )

all paperwork and pics .

Well the VO did not even want to see the albums which had the pics of us together when she was here in India .

Well do you think that this is what they can say again in the CR1 interview , maybe this time she will be with me during interview and we can get the printouts of a lot more emails , chats , oh bills and pics . off course the wedding album too ...I m sure the visits will increase too if we decide to do a cr1 and not a cr1 DCF .

They want you to spend time together, 2 weeks once a year isn't sufficient for some US Embassies, US Embassy in Haiti and Dominican Republic are known to denied people for insufficient trips to beneficiary country.

chats, 100 emails, Skype or phones comes second. Your best ammunition is time spent together in person. If she doesn't flight to India more frequently the result most likely will be the same.

I have no idea if that was the reason of denial , because the Letter say that "the CO was not convinced of an ongoing relationship and also because My Fiancee visited India only once, and that was over an year back ".

They did not mention in the letter the reason of denial to be because of my parents , Neither did they ask me for anything about my parents in the interview .

This was informed to the USCIS at the time of filing the I 129 and they approved the petition and it went ahead .

According t many posts i have read here , it seems that the VO can not deny a fact that has been approved by the USCIS .

Atleast thats what i understand till now ....

Sorry I meant to say that your parents is against you marrying someone outside your religion is reason enough to deny, and most CO aren't convinced about a relationship because of religion differences and plus parents is against that union, they just think you want a way out of India. Why you want to marry someone outside your religion?

It seems to me that is perfectly legal to come here on a b2 visa and get married to a US Citizen and leave, the US Embassy link clearly say its legal. End of story

Your parents are against your marriage because its unusual for your religion to marry someone outside of that religion, so the Embassy already denied your case base on that alone. I would suggest you to take it slow now, and tell your fiancee to move to India for couple of months so next time you guys can front load your next application with evidence. Good luck

No, K1 is the visa that allows you to enter, marry and stay. The other way around, in the UK, you need a special visa just to marry, even if you don't stay. In the US, many people come here, marry and leave. Some of them follow a spouse visa process after marriage and some just came to marry with no intention of ever immigrating. The OP's plan is perfectly legal and proper. However, it would be best to give a more generic but truthful answer when asked about the purpose of the visit, as saying, "I'm coming to get married." is likely to cause the CBP officer to suspect immigrant intent and deny entry. "Visiting family and friends" or "Going to Disney World" if true are a better choice of answer.

Pushbrk, this will be lying "going to Disney World" really?, when the OP clearly intention is to come to marry and leave. I don't know why you keep suggesting people to hide the real fact and just throw a generic answer. If the OP is asked why she's visiting the US, her answer should be "to have my wedding in the US" with no intention of staying.

Update...

I filed a missing mail report and got a case number. Hopefully this gets it sent back to VSC quickly.

I guess I am going to give up and wait until June 10th to start harassing USCIS for good, still no GC in the mail. I am wondering why their new mailing system became crappier than before.

Good Friday morning

I am a little bit confused what to put on part 5 of my form I-175 (ROC). "Information about your Children - List all your children."

We have one child, and was born here in the US, and his status is "US CITIZEN"

Do I simply put his name and his status? Do I really have to type the complete address because I doubt it wont fit on the box "give address/Immigration status"

Thank you!

Cloe

Yes simply put his full name, status US Citizen, Address Same as parents, and A# None or N/A

This is what we did and no problem, approved without an interview.

You need to respond to the RFE before the time given to respond is up, you'll need to notify USCIS that your marriage isn't going good, because at the time your ROC is approved your marriage should be intact and both couple must have been happily living together at the time a decision is made or that will be considered fraudulent, and if you guys doesn't live together and will divorce soon, I strongly suggest you to either convince your wife to get back together or just proceed with the divorce and let USCIS adjudicate your application with a waiver. As long as you entered the marriage in good faith and provide enough proof of ongoing marriage, you will have absolutely no problem getting a 10 years GC. good luck

Did you find out anything today katiemanny?

Yes, I called again today the Customer Rep. transferred me to a higher level, the lady told me they mailed my GC on May 10th but no tracking number available for me for some reason, they suggest me to call my local USPS. Can you believe this, how can I call USPS without a tracking number, and desperately I did, and the lady who answered talked to me like if I was a meat head and tells me without tracking number or delivery confirmation number there's absolutely nothing they can do. There's no way in hell I will pay for a replacement if they lose that card.

I just called USCIS for the second time to get a tracking number for my GC, no success. They said it has been mailed to me but there's no tracking number available, now I have to call my local USPS and see if they have it.

She can work regardless, I didn't change that note on my SSC until I received my GC, the process is a breeze once EAD as been received just take it with that and they will change it for her, and usually takes 1-4 weeks for SSC to arrive in the mail.

GC usually arrive 90 days after EAD has been issued.

Why did your wife leave before you receive your visa?, why your visa requires your wife to enter the US with you at the same time?

Certificates are worthless from Employers perspective, I would strongly suggest you to get an AA'S in Bookkeeping to get a better shot in this job market, an Associate Degree is the minimum that would impress an employer that receive hundreds if not thousands of applications of well qualified individual for a single job opening.

I would recommend you to consult with a well qualified Immigration Attorney, you will need a waiver because your husband was trying to use VWP with the intention to get married and AOS, that's committing fraud, if he was caught lying that's material misrepresentation and carry a permanent bar from entering the US, you need to consult with an Attorney.

What a nightmare, I'm glad it all worked out. I hope that's not what is in store for us. Geez.

Same here, I keep checking my mail with no success, and I swear to God if they mail to our old address its gonna be on them, because I filed AR-11 both online and via snail mail so they would come with the excuse of not having the correct address on file plus ROC NOA1, BIO and Approval letter came to our current address. What a headache.

Going to SSA office tomorrow and when filling out the ss5 form when asked what type of alien she is can anyone confirm whether it is – #1-“ Legal alien allowed to work” #2-“ legal Alien Not allowed to work” or #3- “Other” . Thanks in advance – Ty

If your wife is allowed to work then #1 if not then #2.

Sorry to hear about that, unfortunately there's absolutely nothing you can do but to wait for the new date, maybe the person that was supposed to interview you went on vacation or family emergency, hang in there.
