What was the RFE for?

Selected for Interview

This came as no surprise as my wife posted prank on Internet regards child abuse: Local police and County Division of Family Services did make a formal visit and reports. Rule #1. Any police report increases chance for Interview.

Letter dated Feb 23, 2010 for California Service Center advised that our case has been selected for an interview. This case was transferred to the Kansas City Field Office to await a time when an appointment comes available. This letter was received in the March 3, 2010 mail.

QUESTION: I have an important Business Meeting in California in first week of April: How long does it take to receive information for a schedule date for such an interview???? Interview date be weeks or months? :unsure:

Wife misplaced her green card as our 20 month old child played with her wallet and lost in house. We torn the house a part but I think that he put the wallet in a wall duct vent. Accidents happen with children.

2/20/10 Unable to find wallet with Provisional Green Card. unsure.gif

DOCMAY don't worry...i hear the interviews are only 15 min long and they ask for the same evidence you submitted already, if your case is stright forward then they will approve you right away...please keep us updated i will praying for you guys....IF ANYONE HAS ANY experience or has a link to a website that talks of peoples joint interview expereince pls post for docandmay ~~~~

Just noticed that after getting my biometrics done on 2/19, my I-751 was touched on 2/22 but the last touches are actually on 2/28 on both my I-485 and I-765. I assume it's biometrics related...Anyone else experience this?

good question igomo..i wonder if it has anything to do with the i751~~~

vegan girl SINCE you filed jointly you are eligble to file for citizenship, like you said your application is stright forward nothing out of the ordinary so why dont you file for citzenship that way your case will be approved quicker?

oh ok i read the it..thank you so much~~~

AFTER 8 MONTHS OF AN UNBEARABLE WAIT & TOO MANY "we're sending in a service request", from the misinformation line I decided to set an infopass appointment.

The lady i spoke with just said........"its under review"

CAN ANYONE TELL WHAT THAT MEANS??? ANYONE VER BEEN TOLD "ITS UNDER REVIEW? & WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT???

HI MAINYASHA CAN YOU UPDATE US, WHAT HAPPENED AFTER YOU WENT FOR YOUR INFOPASS, WHAT DID THEY SAY WAS TAKING SO LONG?

HAPPY CHAP CAN YOU PLS TELL HOW WAS YOUR INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE, WAS IT A JOINT REMOVAL INTERVIEW OE A WAITVER INTERVIEW?

did you send more pics ? if so then I wouldnt realy worry about it ,

when did you aply ? what is your timeframe if you dont mind me asking

HERE IS MY TIME FRAME

11/1/09 - mailed my I 751 package priority mail overnight to VSC

11/2/09 - package arrive in vermont

11/05/09 - check cashed

11/07/09 - received I 797C in mail (extension for a year)

11/19/09 received letter for fingerprinting

12/04/09 - FP appointment Done took only 15 minutes

I WAS JUST LOOKING AT MY I 751 PACKAGE AND I NOTICED THAT THE PICTURE I PUT OF MY HUSBAND AND I AT OUT HIGHSCHOOL PROM SAYS "June 2007" I MEANT TO WRITE JUNE 2000 not june 2007...DO I NEED TO SEND THEM A LETTER CLARIFYING IT OR WILL THEY JUST FIGURE IT OUT~~~ I AM WORRIED MAYBE THEY FEEL I LIED AND THATS WHY MY CASE IS STILL NOT APPROVED?

Filing jointly would take at least a year, possibly 18 months - 2 years!

Once again, I will say WE WERE MARRIED AND LIVING TOGETHER FOR 13 MONTHS before she left. From 1st March 2008 until the 1st April 2009.

Also, I had been living with her for 2-3 months each time I came to Ga (4 times since 2005). So the "relationship" took 4 years to fail. Even the remaining 9 months of last year - when we were living separately - we went out together and she stayed over at our marital home. The final break came at the end of 2009.

I don't understand why "4 months" is relevant! It's well known that wedding and AOS/GC dates are not considered the same and MY wedding took place 9.5 months BEFORE I got my GC.

As for the taxes: I already covered that - we filed "Married filing separately" from the same address.

So the way i see it is thus:

April 2005: began relationship and visited Patsy 4 times living as man and wife (I know it doesn't count as marriage but it's hardly the way someone would go about fraudulantly "buying his way" into living in the USA!)

Married for two years next Monday 1st. We were not legally separated so, as far as the USCIS are concerned we are still married UNTIL we get a divorce. (NB! Bank accts, mail, insurances etc are still shared and in joint names until then.)

An uncontested divorce can take as little as one month and I can then apply for RoC without her, almost immediately - 4-5 months earlier than a joint application, which would have to be on Sept 10 at the earliest.

My areas of doubt are: Is it beneficial for me to have been married for 2 years? (To disagree with your "4month marriage")

Is there an accepted time limit, or realistic/approved length of time to be married that satisfies the USCIS?

Is there a time scale to be separated for the Ga divorce court to accept "irreconcilable differences" and an uncontested divorce? (I could claim 12 months)

I'm inclined to take the shorter route and file for divorce, leaving less time for anything further to go wrong and to disentagle our lives and pretending just to conform to "rules". We both married in "good faith" and, not only proved it when we finally got married after 3 years of dating, traveling, planning and buying a home, we can still show that to be the case. I certainly would not have wasted 5 years (and more) of my ever decreasing retirement years to come to live in a country I'd never ever been to.

IT DOESNT MATTER HOW LONG YOU Dated OR WERE MARRIED THEY COUNT FROMT HE TIME U RECEIVED UR GREENCARD TILL THE TIME YOU MOVED OUT WHICH WAS 4 MONTHS..IT JUST SMELLS BAD....BUT IF YOU GET A GOOD LAWYER THINGS WILL PROBABLY WORK OUT...BUT ODNT TRY TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN...CONSULT A LAWYER~~~

Thanks, millimelo, for the tax input. We have the same addresses.

Lona: YOU may be saying in in "simple words" but Bob was not, hence my repeat posted questions, especially about the "4 month" issue that you too have wrongly used.

I repeat... What is this "4 month" time-frame you both mention? Maybe you're trying to say we were only married for 4 months before she walked out?

Anyway, none of these unexplainable comments answers my original questions.

Thanks for trying.

John

PS. Maybe it would help clarify and correct things if I state the following. (Same info but re-stated)

1) Married 1st March 2008.

2) GC received 10th Dec 2008

3) Walk out 1st April 2009

Therefore we were married and living together 13 months.

Second WEDDING anniversary 1st March 2010.

April 1st 2010 = one year since her desertion/walk out.

I hope this help to identify my status and histiry better?

TRY TO WORK IT OUT AND FILE JOINT, BECASUE THE FACT THAT THE MARRIAGE LASTED 4 MONTHS DOES NOT LOOK GOOD AT ALL....YOU MAY HAVE A HARD TIME TRYING TO PROVE TO IMMIGRATION THATS IT WAS NOT FRADULANT...BY THE WAY DID U GUYS FILE JOINT TAXES SINCE U HAVE BEEN MARRIED?

I didn't get any touch on my EAD or AOS... V333K did you get a touch on those?

oh that interesting ..i am going to go look up the my AOS and EAD receipts to see if they have any touches on them...didn't know you could check those receipts for touches thanks candelari~~~~
