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.

i am the benificiary and He is the USC. i told him about the idea a while ago before posting and he told me to call the lawyer that handles our case and ask her what she thinks.. maybe u guys are right.. i sound desperate i know..lol..but it is for real that he will be moving this coming sunday. anyway, he or the lawyer will still make a call tomorrow. we'll still try our luck and ask for it since theyve been processing july, it will only speed up a lil bit of the waiting just in case.i dont see any harm in trying...i hope there's not.

we havent made the call for the change of address yet but we got TOUCHED today dec. 3..

hope it is the infamous NOA2! :whistle:

*sigh*

We appear to be stuck at NVC.

Petition ariived there on Nov 24th. And as of yesterday still there.

We've rung. They say it isn't AP. They say nothing is wrong with it.

Just not sent on. :angry:

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

hey all Im out looking for an extra job.

I am also going to write a letter to go with the visa stuff I send him EXPLAINING WHY I have no income tax for prior years except last year AND why its sooooooo small.

I pray they do not hold that against me as im tempted to have my boss write an extra letter saying what a great worker I am she has offered.

I do not know what to do...she said she would also redo the letter and make it more saying the max i make will be around 17,690 (with overtime) WHICH I work a lot of...min is 16262 SO not sure what to do...

If I add up all of it I come out with 17620 for this year ALONE as I get paid bi monthly so some days will have 13 days on a check some 11 some 10 some 12...SO should I change it...I went through the weeks and so did she we got the same number???

I dont know HOW they go about this and I am SOOOOOOO CONFUSED

Whilst we could never condone "fibbing" GO FOR IT :innocent:

And if thats what you could make then I guess thats all there interested in after all you could earn $90k a year but if you only work 4 days a yr you'll never get paid that. Does that make sense???

Hunni, get her to write a letter as you've stated. What do you need to make to meet the 100% ?

I meet the 100% for two folks (me and him Im at 16,292 BUT some embassys want 125% SO not taking ANY chances

THATS approx BECAUSE i get paid bi weekly so some checks show 13 days some show 10 some show 11 per check...

SO it can go UP TO over 18k WITH ot as I do work that a lot...but the last two checks NOPE..IF I can show Im working OT about 7 to 10 a check THEN it puts me at 18,120 WHICH is WAY over the 17,500

She also is looking into giving me 5 extra hours a week so I can meet it and show it on the next three paychecks as well...

I have a GREAT BOSS!

PS OFF TO WORK,....IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY IDEAS ON JOBS YADDA YADDA OR HOW TO PUT THE LETTER SOOOO I CAN GET HIM HERE OR WORD THE WORK LETTER I MEAN...LET US KNOW!! I love you all ...I would go INSANE could I not come here for advice and help

HUGS ALL AND GOOD LUCK TODAY ON NOA2s!!!!!!!!

Meri

Get her to do the letter, especially if she is happy to do the letter which details your overtime, what a great boss you have that she is trying her hardest to get Kai here for you. Based on the 100% would you still come up short?

I know where you're coming from on having Kai with you no matter, i've said to Rob that if i was refused for any reason sod it i would be over with him anyway. :whistle:

You have the determination to get it all sorted out chick, and i don't doubt for one minute you will suceed.

You have NOT failed him, you are trying your hardest to get it sorted and he knows that. (F)

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 am so sorry that your son backed out on being your co-sponsor. I know how it feels because my good friend backed out too and he didnt back out until after johny was approved. So I had to ask my father to cosponsor johny which i didnt want to do but i had no other choice. I dont even know how to fill out the I134 correctly and the directions that i have still are not very thorough.

This whole process just sucks. my stomach has been hurting from being so stressed out. He still could be denied in this part of the process. it sucks that we have barely any control over the situation. its like someone else is in control of our lives and determines whether or not we can be with the ones we love. I tell johny that i dont know what im going to do if he is not approved because i cannot deal with this anymore either.

Everyone, keep your chin up! Think of the NOA2 as the best 'legal' Christmas present ever ;)

Things seem to be going from bad to worse with my situation...any day now we should be receiving the NOA2, and a month ago that should've made me the happiest person on Earth, but since my fiancé said he wanted to postpone the wedding (until Nov 2010), we've been in bits about what to do regarding our petition. I guess our only choice is to withdraw and resubmit a new petition for Mar 2010 - but we're so worried about getting rejected in case they see us withdrawing our petition as reason to deny us a visa! We called the USCIS (who were as helpful as a chocolate teapot) who didn't know what to do, so they said arrange an appointment with our local USCIS office, so my fiancé visited them, who in turn didn't know what to do and just gave him a sheet of useless phone numbers! Please - can any of you advise us? :bonk:
