MsSheka

Us too MsSheka. RFE, no letter, email or anything. It was the quite standard 3 page RFE. I believe it was because I didn't include anything about having him on my mortgage for the house. I just sent in the RFE yesterday. 2 inches worth of evidence. I also wrote a letter stating that after talking to the loan officer about how to get him on the mortgage was by refinancing and this wasn't possible at this time. Plus bank statments showing both of us actively doing transactions from the moment he got here until present. I also included the cell pone bill showing where it has both of us on the bills. I'm hoping this will be enough.

I am sending any and everything I can find with both our names on it or with either names to the same address. So I think you will be fine if you sent 2inches of documents.

I did not receive text message or email at all. All I got is a letter RFE in the mail box. They only gives me 2 months and 17 days to response, not full 3 months like some other people. I filed CSC, Not VSC

I didn't either. ..no updates just a letter in the mail.

I responded to RFE yesterday using over night. USCIS must receive it today as the tracking stated. I wish it will take them 3-5days to look over 100 pages and make an approve for me. I notice some people here received very quick approves from CSC.

P.S I'm not Febuary filer, I'm a April filer, sorry to keep posting here

Hello everyone :-) I got an RFE dated 11/6/12.... :-( basically requesting everything I sent!

Hello fellow filers!...I have been so busy lately but we got our biometrics letter last week...see my signature for more details

Hey my fellow filers...just popping on to let you guys know I got our NOA1 in the mail today :-)

Hey ROC peeps!! So happy to see so many familiar names on here!!! Just like a family reunion!!!

I'm happy to report that we mailed hubster's ROC petition today! Here's to getting a good response soon!!!

Hey Ann!!!good to see you!

HAHA, I REMEMBER YOU XD

that's right...I'm baack

Hello guys!!...just adding myself to the list. I sent our ROC on 2/11/12

Mawning to all my yardies out there...I know its been a while but some of you know what its like once your other half is here. Its a challenge to balance everything lol....anyway my hubby and I are going back to Jamaica for the first time since he got here(a year ago) we are so thankful and can't wait to see the family....big up to all my yardies!!

Hey yardies just popping in to say hey

Sheka Thanks for coming especially thanks for the part in bold. I need all the hope I can get that this will get approved sooner than later.

The EARLIEST I could even consider going is Labor Day and at this point I am hoping he is here before then!!

no problem I'm always here if you need to talk ... stay positive and be strong for your family no matter what you may hear !

Lord ya'll I gotta keep praying...

The embassy told him it would take 2-4 months before we will know if waiver is approved or not.

I read on another site that the processing time is 6-8 months

God give me strength...

I don't even know when I will get some time off work to go see him and his baby girl has never even seen her father. I wonder how she will act when she does. She sees his pictures everywhere, and she sees him on the computer. Will she know him?? Will there be something inside that knows "that's my daddy"

Some days are harder than others... today is a hard day

AAAWWW JAP trust me it will all work out soon i have a BIL who had his interview in March (he needed a waiver) and he got his Visa the end on May so don't worry just keep praying and take the baby to see her daddy if at all possible because that really helps on both end, i did that for three years and I'm glad i did because Fat and his daddy are inseparable now

Ok so I saw one item heading to Kingston today how do I know if it is mine???????? HELP

honestly it doesn't really matter when your case gets to Kingston because the NVC is the one who schedule's your interview and trust me your case will get there long before your interview date once you get case complete it takes 3-5 business days for them to forward your case to the embassy (sometimes longer )

On April 22, 2010, we transferred this case I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action. Please follow any instructions provided on the notice. We will notify you by mail when a decision is made. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators.

So glad all is going well....did you post your interview story?? I was out the loop for a minute so I hafta go check...

I posted a review here it is

Review Topic: IR1/CR1 Visa

I went to JA for my hubby's interview we arrived at 6:50am (i know we were super early) we sat outside until 8:00am they we proceeded to the entrance which there was a very long line but i was told to proceed to the front since we are what they call "Filing" and i was told the others in the long line were "Non-Immigrants" we left everything in the car so security was a breeze a young lady at the door took two of my hubby's passport pics and wrote his name on the back and put them inside his passport and inserted the first page of our interview appointment letter inside the passport as well, they asked for my passport to prove i was the one filing for him them we proceeded to the courtyard and was directed to the check-in counter, we were given a number at 8:15am we were inside while waiting we noticed the numbers were not in order as we already knew by other reviews and we noticed the process as well(first call finger prints, medical and document check, second call interview) also we noticed a LOT OF BLUE SLIPS were being given for 2009 TAX RETURN & W2's and also for CO-SPONSORS we also observed what CO were really strict and stern and which ones were really nice, there were three Americans and three Jamaicans that were doing interviews and they would switch it up every now and then, the Jamaican guy was very nice and so was one of the ladies with her hair braided, there was a African-American girl with a short bob she was very strict and conducted all interviews on speaker phone which i found very upsetting because everyone could hear every question and every answer, and there was an African- American guy who me and my hubby called "BLUE SLIP' BECAUSE 90% OF HIS INTERVIEWS ENDED IN "blue slips" (who also turned out to be our CO) he was very thorough and he asked everyone to pick up the phone so it was really hard to tell what most of the "blue slips" were for but i remember two that needed co-sponsors and two that needed more proof of ongoing relationship, other than that they were giving visas left and right no denials, at 9:45am our number was called for the first time a young Jamaican female (very nice and polite) took my hubby's medical, took his finger prints and have him sign his Police certificate and asked him some general questions then she asked is this our first marriage we said yes she told us to have a seat and listen for our number again, at 10:30 our number was called again we were first asked to raise our right hands and to swear all the info we gave and that all our answers would be the truth then the CO asked me to take a seat and asked my hubby to pick up the phone, i could hear my hubby's answers and from that i knew what the questions were

1. how did you meet?

2. how long have you known each other?

3. when did you get married?

4. how do you communicate?

5. has your wife every sent you any money and do you have receipts?

6. how many times has your wife visited you since you started dating?

then i saw the CO whip out a blue slip and put it aside and that's when my i noticed my hubby getting very nervous he then proceeded to ask my hubby

7. do you have any children?

8. how many people was at your wedding?

9. do you have any wedding pictures?

then he asked my hubby to sit and asked me to come up to the window and pick up the phone

he basically asked my questions 1-3,6-9 and i explained we had no pics because it was a small ceremony and i explained we had a big one planned and had to postpone because my son had to have surgery he the asked 10. what kind of surgery and when? he then asked to see my son's birth certificate and my US passport, then he paused and reached for the "blue slip" i noticed it was for co-sponsor because we did not meet the poverty guidelines for 2008 but we did for 2009 so i then offered the CO the 2009 Tax return and W2 he then asked if it met the poverty guideline i said yes he said "yes i will need that since both you and your co-sponsor did not meet 2008" he took the docs and checked the poverty guidelines and said shook his head and said "OK thank you please ask your husband to return to the window with his passport" he then asked my hubby

11. have you ever been arrested? 12. have you ever traveled to the US? then he said "take this ticket to window 26 to pay for the delivery of your passport do not make any travel arrangements until you receive you passport with your visa" my hubby said thank you and we left he never said congrats or welcome to the US but i took his statement as an APPROVAL AND BY GOD IT WAS our interview was on Friday and my hubby's visa was issued on Monday and available for pick up on Tuesday afternoon was picked up Wednesday and we left Thursday GOD IS TRULY AMAZING!!
