July '08 filers

[Gemmie 142]

Chelle, I know it's awful. But just think that what you're feeling now is the worst of it. The first few weeks are numbing, but it does get better. Hold on, you're almost there...

Hiya all,

Well I am back home now. It was a very long trip. Our flight was a hour late , and then when I reached Boston they kept me for 90 minutes with so many question it was horrible. They went through all of my luggage, and then made me repack it geesh but anyways I am here. I recieved a email from Chris yesterday saying that the letter they sent me was undeliverable so I need to call them today to give them the address that I am at now. I hope this doesnt mess us up.. We have already got word that everything has been sent to the embassy on the 25th of november , is there any way that I can find out if it was recieved, I hope this wont send everything back

Saying goodbye to keith at the airport was so hard for us both. He couldnt go back to work and he had thought it would be ok to. He stayed on MSN with my oldest daughter most of the day and said that he now knows how I have felt when he has had to leave , he said it is to quiet at his flat now , he said it was hard going back without me being there. I miss him already

Congrats to all that got there NOA2s and good luck to the rest of you

Hugs

Chelle

I know how you feel, Once I get "home" I never want to see another airport again!

But I know that saying goodbye to Shan last week will be the last time and that the next time we see each other we'll never have to do the airport goodbye again!!

Stick with it you're almost there!!

Was the undelivered mail the NOA2? I don't think that would hold up the Embassy sending pkt 3 to Keith.

Call and update your address anyways because I think Keith needs a copy of the NOA2 for his interview...someone correct me if i'm wong!

Hope he get a speedy interview so you can be back in each others arms really soon.

Hi , yes it was and I am waiting for my daughter to get home so that I can use her phone to call them. I havent activated my cell yet. I thought they would have sent the letter to the lawyer the same way they did the noa1 but guess not so hopefully they will get it right back out to me so that I can send it to keith.. Now comes the fun part , getting the cosponsor paperwork done , oh well just praying it all works out and his interview is quick so that he can come home.. I miss his british humor and his ways. even if he is a pain in the xxxx sometimes hehe.

AWW chelle it will be okay!!

as you some of you know my co-sponser back out on me and now we are scrambling to find a way to get him home.

I make 16,292 min and up to 17540 max (with overtime which I get alot of )

I also only have one tax return from last year which shows ####### on it because I was released by the doctor to go back to work finally. It only was 5k on it as it was the end of the year. Before that I never worked and my ex was the one who filed.

Can I use my SSI of 546 a month as well to add to it. I dont know what I can use for assets..my car is not in my name yet ( almost as I making payments...) I dont have much in savings and I fear this will break us if I cant get him home..we are both bawling and pissed off right now.

My son was a complete jerk about the whole thing and I tried to explain to him about it...yet he made me feel as if I was a burden to him.

I feel horrid inside and feel like dying I do not know what to do.

I JUST WANT HIM HOME and I have no one to cosponser at all...no one

I did a search, and maybe this post about SSI helps you. I found another post that relates to SSI from death benefits of a spouse, if that is more appropriate.

Try not to be too hard on your son. I've read the affidavit paperwork, and it all sounds terrifying to someone to sign. I wouldn't blame anyone for being hesitant to sign it. I fully understand why my father flipped out about it, and I'm just lucky that begging and pleading and negotiating worked. People can say terrible things when they're afraid.

Best wishes, and I hope one of those posts helps you.

Sweetie i feel really bad for you, this is the last thing you needed to go tits up!

Have you explained to your son that the i-134 affidavit is not legally binding?

I know people keep saying that you need the last 3yrs tax forms, but it doesn't state that on the I-194 destruction sheet?? Have you or Kai contacted the Embassy he will have his interview at to see what guidelines they go by, will they accept 100% or must it be 125%??

He called me and feels like a jerk due to his harsh words...So he cried I cried. Thanks Aubrey I been on a hunt and also I am trying to obtain a second job.

I have a question..I was given jewelry after my grandmother died...can I use that as assets

There is jade, turquoise diamonds sapphire and opal jewelry and some of the stones are not even set yet

I had it all appraised for insurance purposes and it comes to 2, 341 can I use that as well???

I've been thinking about ways to get around this. I have some but I'm not all too sure how ethical it is. It looks like you're only about $3600 away from meeting the poverty guidelines. Can you temporarily borrow that from a friend or family member? If you put that money into a savings account then you can count it as assets for the affidavit of support. Additionally, if you file your 2008 taxes right away - beginning of Jan - you could submit that with your affidavit of support and your income would be higher than previous years. Is your employer at all flexible with your hours? I don't know how much OT you can pull in the next month but if you can do alot that may pull you over the poverty guidelines in your 2008 tax return. I hope that is helpful. I'm really sorry that you're having a difficult time.

i have a question..i dont know if it makes sense though..

my fiance is moving to a new place. so we are going to call USCIS to update his address...can i ask the person from uscis to also approve our application since they've already approved lots of july filers? are these the same person who reviews the applications? or will it help fast approval coz they will be pulling out our application at least i know that it isnt lost... hope u get what i mean...what do u guys think? thanks

Is your fiance the USC? Only the USC can have address details changed by USCIS over the phone, the beneficiary has to have change of address details put in writing by petitioner and posted in.

I wish it was as easy as just to ask them to approve you at the same time they have your file out...if this was the case everyone would be doing it. I don't think it will speed up the process for you either.

But it's worth a try.

Good luck.

No, I really really doubt it. If it were that easy, we'd all be calling with "changes of address." Not saying you're making it up, but that some of us might if it meant a more speedy approval! I wish it was as easy as calling them and asking them to approve us, but unfortunately that's not how it works. We all have to wait our turn. There is, however, the chance that they may just approve it while they're looking at it. Best of luck, though!
