Yes, I just received my texts and emails !!!

Waiting for the hard copies now !!

Package Re-sent to Chicago, going back to step one

Not really cool...but I pass my road test today, got it !!

Actually I had a further look to what they sent me and they put a copy of the Fedex package tag.

There are 2 dates on it. the 22th in tiny and a big one: 23rd. I believe Fedex really processed my package only after midnight...that is why.

I should go there and ask them to pay the extra fees and delivery for me, 170 USD more. And once again, I asked twice the girl about the postmarked date...

ok so I am just coming back home...and found my whole package in my mail box.

Application has been rejected because the fees are not correct. I did send my package on the 22 and the girl from Fedex told me it will be postmarked as of the 22 (I asked her twice). I do not want to argue with them or fight with Fedex and so on so I am ready to send everything back tomorrow with the new fees. I just lost the fees increase + fedex (50USD) + 2 weeks of time...But at least I had some news (Ps: Package was received the 23rd and they worked on it the 3rd of December....). I have to move now on the December filers I believe

Bravo ! Congrats for you....Hope to be able to drop the same note within the next hours/days/month/year.zzzzzz lol

This is not going fast at all on my side Still no news so far....

Ok let me know if you manage to speak to someone and if they did put the effort to look for your package.

I think I will give them a call in any case if I do not get any news by Friday....

Still no news. does not look good as it has been now almost 2 weeks I sent my package...

Maybe they did reject my package from some reasons...Any idea of what I can do to check?

Nop, still waiting here. no emails or text etc...Hopefully by the end of the day or tomorrow....

It is now 3Pm in Chicago...I think that if we do not receive anything within the next hour, it will come most probably on Monday (hopefully)...

Et oui un E2, par contre pour etre clair, c'est un E2 via ma boite, c'est pas moi l'investisseur

Hi There,

A NY (venant de Paris) depuis un an maintenant avec un Visa E2. J'ai envoye mon AOS (marie a une US), recu par USCIS le 23 Nov....J'attends tjrs.

Et je passe ma conduite (road test) le 09 Dec....

Wait and see mais si tout va bien j'aurais tout mes petits papiers d'ici ps tres longtemps...

November filler here too...still waiting patiently

Yep, I agree...still waiting for some news !!!

I did send mine too on the 22nd and it arrived on the 23rd in the morning...No news yet. Let me know when you receive your NOA Katgrl. I hope to get something asap and that the holiday season will not delay everything to much...

Just did, I was busy at work and actually lost some time stupidly.

When I saw that the fee were about to be increase, I finished everything once for all. Just went to Fedex. This is a done thing now

Things seems to move pretty fast on your side, congratz.

Time for me to do my timeline.

Cheers

Instructions say:

This form is used by lawful permanent residents, or nonimmigrants in A, G or E status who are seeking to apply for adjustment of status as permanent residents, and who are all working for a foreign government mission in the United States.

From what you say, you are not working for a foreign government mission to the US (but rather a private company), so it doesn't apply to you. (I don't think it applies to any marriage-based cases, but more research is needed there). Get that package sent out and good luck!

EDIT: Also, here is the link to the INA 247(b) referenced on the form... and you can see it has nothing to do with you.

You are right, I was confuse because of the part 10.i. of the instruction for the I-485....while I obviously fall under the part 1.B !!!

Damn I am so stupid....ok guyz, going to post my package

Hello there,

My package is ready and I am about to send it to the USCIS, I would like to send it today as the fees will change starting as of tomorrow:

To Adjust from an E visa (AOS with I-130 concurrent filing), we do have to feel the form I-508 and I-508F (for French national only).

The I-508 said: Form I-508 F is used by French national receving a salary from the French Republic.

This is not my case as I am an employee of a US company that below to a French private company.

Do I need to include this form too?

Just would like to make sure. I planned to add the form I-508 only, but not the I-508.

Thanks for your feedback !!!

Indeed, I checked with an accountant and as per him, US Citizen who lives abroad (or at least in France) would have to pay taxes only if they make more than 90KUSD per year, which was not the case for my wife.

So indeed, she might have to fill up Tax Return for the years abroad she has been working but should not be taxed....

Great, some more paper to fill up

Nounours75

Thanks for your replies guys.

As my wife is above the poverty requirement by herself, I will make it easy and not include my income....

As for the Tax return, I will include hers for 2009, her paystub, her employment letter etc...I believe it is ok.

I hope it will not raise any flag on the fact that she never declare any income while she was living abroad (she paid her taxes in France).

I do not believe she had to pay anything, but woud like to avoid another administrative nightmare....

Nounours.

Ok thanks, Indeed, we will include my wife tax return for 2009 and her W2 (even if she received only one month of salary for this year) and a letter explaining our situation. I believe it will be ok (hope so...)

Hi there,

I do hope that it will be my last question here as my package is almost done...Just need to finish the I-864.

but we do have a small issue. My Wife and I relocated from Europe in Dec 2009, so we do have only one W2.

What other documents shall we send to the USCIS? I was thinking about a letter explaining the situation.

Any idea?

Thanks, Nounours !!!

Hi again guys,

I am pretty much set with everything regarding my AOS but I still have 2 small questions regarding the Affidavit of support:

- it says that in order to meet the income requirement, we can add the intending immigrant's income if needed (As actually I make more money than my wife) but only if the income ressources must be continuing from the same source after I get my resident status and that we must show evidences of this:

- Does this mean that I will never be able to change job after I get my resident status (I found this kind of weird).

- Which evidence can show this? Even my letter of employment can not guarantee that I will have always those revenues (like if i am fired?)

Regarding the tax returns for the last 3 years:

- We moved here only by December 2009, so we just filled one of those....and only for one month. Shall I include a specific letter explaining why we can show only one tax return? Do you believe this going to be a problem?

Thanks in advance,

Nounours !

Correct, E-2. On part 3, I can see why they ask - you may have entered into the country long time ago under a different visa type.

Yes, these forms can get confusing. I struggled specifically with 130 and G-325.

Yep, I saw the pictures of your package on the site....You did a great job. I wish I can be at that stage now

Ok Got it and sorry for the confusion....need to recheck everything to make sure.

But what is confusing too is that on Form I-485 they ask you what is your current status (Part 1) and again part 3 In what statut did you last enter (student, visitor, exchange visitor, crewman) So shall we put there again E-2 twice...

Ok, I think we should alway go to the easy and not to make it so complicated.....but...

Thanks for your help guys.
