Thanks Guys, I made an INFOPASS appointment for next week...I'll let everyone know how it goes!

So we sent our RFE just before Oct 2012, and we are still waiting for an answer, my extension letter expires February 2013 in a month...what to do??

I called the USCIS 18003755283, but just end up pushing buttons listening to the automated dude....anyone chime in please?

Thanks!

How do I draft up the affidavit? Is it as simple as them write a letter in the affidavit format and signing it? Does it have to be notorized?

Oooook,

So couple months ago we received our I-797E NOA, claiming they want more evidence.

We've been trying to get everything together although its not mush so here's the story!

Here's what we submitted first as evidence:

A cover letter including the list of our evidence with our facebook pages( I know the gov looks at this )

Documents:

Our Upcoming Travel Itinerary to from Manila, Philippines

Our Upcoming Travel Itinerary to from Manila to Boracay, Philippines.

Our Car Joint Insurance statement and cards to date

Our Bank of America joint account statement to date

A past Travel itinerary to Last Vegas in May 2009

Scans of our Driver License

Scans of our Washington state Concealed weapons permit

Scan of a Wedding gift check sent to us for our upcoming Renewal of our wedding vows this February

Scan of a collage of past and recent pics of our relationship

So the situation was this, we were actually married in 2008 and kept it to ourselves to get our paper work going and also

plan an extravagant Destination wedding in 2012 for our family.

I work for myself and have had a hell of a time trying to establish myself and even finding a job.

With this being said, this explains why I have chose to file taxes separately as I took a business

loss and we have not filed taxes jointly until this last year.

Also, we currently are residing on my wifes fathers property and just sharing utilities (except for Garbage and Cable which don't bill both names on statements, just one name ) So this explains not too many utilities in both our names.

We have no mortgages, no credit cards or real financially joint finances other than bank accounts, car insurance, Cell Phone, Costco membership.

We did re-new our vows this last February and have a TON of photos, paper work, flight itineraries, boarding passes, not to mention photo albums, guest book and videos.

Can anyone give us some advice what we should submit since we have very little?

Thanks,

Got my NOA 1/25/2012...Biometrics done on March 2nd 2012, so are we gonna have to wait the FULL 6 Months to get our Permanent Residence card???

Hey Everyone,

Got my NOA 1/25/2012...Biometrics done on March 2nd, so are we gonna have to wait the FULL 6 Months to get our Permanent Residence card???

Anyone receive there's yet??

Pretty easy, I went through it about a year ago.

1. Get there before it opens!

2. Make sure you have ALL your Documents.

3. You will go through the process and be asked to come back later in the day, so it a whole day thing.

4. It a regular physical exam, with an xray.

5.You get your xray at the end of the day and the paper work which you DO NOT OPEN and you drag all that stuff to your interview.

Thats pretty much it!

Good luck! It's worth all that you're gone through!

Sorry to hear about some of your bad experiences, but I've been using to Magicjack for 3 years and only have had an issue when I'm connected poor internet connections or computers that have not been maintained properly. But ALL opinions are valuable to the VJers.

Here's another link if anyone wants to do more reading on it: http://www.squidoo.com/tips-for-saving-on-long-distance-

Blessings and good luck to all!

Hey Guys,

Wishing everyone many love and blessings on their journey, it's not easy. I've settled into the US for about 4 months now after a year of processing a CR-1 visa, if you have any questions, shoot them my way, I can only hope I can be of help to anyone who needs it. I surely was VERY appreciative and relieved that Visa Journey exists for us struggling to be with our loved ones.

Anyway, I just want to leave a tip for those who don't know about calling back and forth your loved ones. TO keep your long distance relationships alive you must make sure to save some money with your phone bills and the Magicjack saved my wife and I a TON of money. Anyway, here's an article I found to help explain it. Happy journey everyone! Hope it helps!

Green Card March 8th, one month from POE

I've been in the US almost three months now and still looking for inbound immigrant health coverage that covers pre-existing conditions...anyone know of any?

Seven Corners doesn't cover pre-existing conditions.

Anyone have any advice?

Don't worry LGG, you'll get it soon! I know how it is, you feel like you are in limbo without those things!

I also received two Welcome letters, don't know why but I did.

Thanks Ant! I can't wait to get in the groove of my new life here, I'm still settling in.

Good luck and congratulations to everyone too! hang in there!

LGG! I haven't checked in for awhile....hope you get all your cards this week...it should be the week considering the time frame so far, right?

Yea, I received my SSN and Green Card with no problems, I wish the same for everyone. I didn't have to call the social security office or anything, they both showed up with no effort. Thanks everyone! Many blessings to you all! The green card is pretty...its like a drivers license with some weird negative film like thing on the back.

I opened an account at Wells fargo with no problem, without an SSN, you should have no problems...just bring ID, passport and drivers license.

Got my Green Card today!

CR1 countdown to PR adjustment 2012

Good luck to all those waiting and still going through their journey!!!

No worries, I left my car and other things in BC as well just to finally cross...going back to cross with my car in a month and more junk...just make sure you bring your compliance letter for your car and a general inventory list of stuff bringing over.

Got a I-797C stating they have received my packet from my POE....Does this mean my Green Card might be on the way?

Okay! Went to attempt to get my Washington State Drivers License, gave them my SSN, showed my passport with my Visa in it, but didn't have any utility bill (my OOPS) to show proof that it my permanent address....so she processed the DL application (good for 90 days) and I have to go back with proof of my residence....guess I gotta put my name on the garbage bill.

Maybe give it til Next Monday, that should be the full three weeks, yes? Then raise hell!!!

I'd like to keep it for sentimental reasons...after all we are the 2010 VANCOUVER OLYMPIC GOLD HOCKEY WINNERS!! Proud to be from Canada AND Vancouver!!!

Going to get Washington State Drivers License, Will I have to give up my British Columbia DL??? Anyone?

Congrats LGG!!! Good to be home huh?

Good Luck LGG!!!
