AOS FILERS - April 2008

[Heliosphan 1]

So, just a quick update.

I got the RFE in the mail today, and its what I thought. They didn't even look at the 200+ pages of Evidence of Assets I sent them which was looked over by a lawyer. They Just sent out another RFE about the I864!

After fighting back a lot of frustration and a few tears, I do have a close friend that has offered to act as a Joint Sponsor.

Sooooo, we are starting the I864 with the Joint Sponsor and hope to get that all to them within a week or so.

Lesson learned, USCIS does not mean one thing they say on their website. If it requires them to look at any additional pages or items they are not "quite familiar with" they will send you an RFE. (I am assuming that since they are on this big "PUSH" and hired all these new people there are still "GREEN" adjucators. I seriously probably know more about some of this stuff then they do.

Ok Venting done!

WOW! It's good to know how their minds work. Just give them the bare facts and not follow all those rules.

But the good thing at least is that they sent that RFE quickly and didn't wait a whole month.

Steph, hopefully when they receive your forms for joint sponsor, your case will move ahad really fast! I agree with you that probably we know more about the process than some of those new people they hire...

I'm just tired of saying that there is absolutely nothing new in my case, not even 1 small touch. And it's not only to you guys on VJ but also to my friends and family, I wish I could tell them that something is finally going on. I think that I'm doing pretty good anyway about not complaining much... Really trying to be patient. Sometimes it just makes me really angry when I see people that filed in June getting their EAD, it sucks that USCIS puts away more complicated cases for later and is working on the simple ones only. It's just not fair.

Here, my venting done, too

Steph, I really feel for you.

Your joint sponsor should meet all their ridiculous demands and I'm sure you'll have a smooth journey after this. I really do wish you all the very best.

It's ridiculous what's going on. It's not even like our cases are that much more complicated, it's just an I-130 form.

I've seen a ton of people from June and July get RFEs and some get EADs so I'm really confused what's going on with yours, especially after you put a service request in. And you really have been patient, I would have been bouncing off the walls angry by now.

You have my prayers and hopes that they do something soon, it's not great living in limbo until something happens (it could be any of us).

It's good you have a joint sponsor now =] I'm pretty sure this time will be the good one, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, I was in the same situation and know how it feels but you'll see this time you'll get good news from USCIS

#### USCIS, hopefully we'll all receive our green cards soon so we don't have to deal with them anymore

Well all the best and good thoughts your way!

Steph, Ellla, we are experiencing the same thing: waiting AP, EAD and so on.

My daughter is admitted by colleges, but she is considered as no-resident and has to pay international out-state tuition even though we live here more than one year and pay tax.

She can not go back Canada/study there and can not study here, can not get financial aid here, can not find a job here!

I want to give up and bring my husband and daughter back to Canada! Too much stress on me.

Sorry for my venting.

It will all work out, something has to change soon. Hang in there!!!!

Reneehao,

If your daughter can get a scholarship from the college she's gonna attend, she will be eligible to get in-state tuition. There's also a minimum in the amount of scholarship she needs to get in order to be eligible for in-state tuition. Check with the financial aid office.

Thank you, Stlie, Chris,

I will have her try it.

We requested Expedite Service a week ago, but nothing happen so far.
