Whilst we could never condone "fibbing" GO FOR IT

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???

well WITH OT I can make up to 18, 200 and she is going to put on there that they are willing to give me the OT to make up the difference...

*bangs head..* I dont know what to do I am almost tempted just to have him come here get married and hide out for 10 years...we been through so much BS i feel like im drowning in it...I am BUSTING my ### to get an extra job and a lil peaved that my son could NOT tell me sooner SO i could have done SOMETHING sooner...Its not fair and I feel sooo crapped on...I do not care WHAT i have to do I will get him here even if I have to sell my soul to the devil.

I am SO depressed my head is pounding and I have to work today...I wish I had another day off to deal with this ####...I feel sooooooo dead inside right now..I try not to feel as if I failed him but I do BIG time

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.

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.

Hey all I cried reading this you all...I really needed to hear it!

I make 16,232 approx to 16890 is what we figured WITHOUT overtime tonight...THAT is over the 14,000 aka 100% for 2 people and SOOOOO close to 17500. GRRR

BUT I can make overtime and that happens about every other month...I have some checks that DO show the OT

It puts me OVER the 17500 so she said she will change the letter to state that I will make over 17500 with OT which she is happy to give me.

I MIGHT have a job for 12 to 15 hours a week. SO CROSS your fingers...I KNOW it will burn me OUT BUT i have to do what I have to do.

ALSO I have a question. I have not worked except starting last year for WAY over 10 years due to that accident

SO I have a REALLY low tax return and amount... I do not have ANYONE to be a Co sponser now AT all and lord knows I asked

I do still get SSI for 572 a month until I make OVER 18500. Some folks SAY you can count it AND others say no...

I PRAY they do not say WELL your tax return is BS and guess what because YOU dont have a super long work history its a no go...I am so lost right now I want to SCREAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Have you heard back from the Embassy as to 100% or 125%?

Regarding the SSI...count it, IMO you get it so it is revenue in. Regarding not having a long work history, you can prove the reason you didn't work and the fact as soon as you can you did...that has to count for something.

SEE that is what I was thinking!! Add it and it can prove I am disability and working toward not fully having that anymore for a better life.

Kai will be about to put in about 1k in the bank soon so he is saving hardcore and I will be having about 3 to 5 k with income tax return.

We contacted them (embassy but NOTHING yet and nothing yet

will keep you all informed

No doubt about the June people. I'm getting to the point where I wanna call USCIS just to talk. They don't have to tell me about my app; we can just talk about anything...

Now that is funny

Quick question for those US citizens who have visited their fiance's abroad in the UK. What did you say when they asked the reason for your visit? I'm going to visit Sebastian in 3 weeks (!!!!!) and I'm not really sure if I should be vague and say I'm visiting friends or if I should just say I'm visiting my fiance. I've entered the UK at least a dozen times while traveling/studying last year, but I just showed them my student visa and they didn't ask any questions. Do I need to bring back ties to the U.S. and all of that? I know the U.S. is notoriously strict, but I'd like to know if it's the same the other way around so I'm prepared! Unfortunately, I don't really have ties to the U.S. to show them...I'm a full time student and I live in university housing so I don't have a copy of my lease, I only have one bill in my name and I don't have a job. I doubt a letter stating I'm a full time student is particularly strong evidence.

If worse comes to worse, I can just say I'm visiting friends I made from studying abroad at Oxford last year. They could at least see the student visa in my passport to back it up.

Someone tell me I'm freaking out over nothing .

I'll get Shan to give you the lowdown of what happened when she arrived in the UK a few weeks back

Hello July filers! First of all, I would like to say congrats to those who have gotten approvals. Wish I could say the same! I am a June Filer with NOA1 date June 5th. We have not had an RFE or anything, no news, and last touch was June 26th. I have contacted my senators about our case. I have told them that contrary to what Vermont tells them, they have begun approving July and even August filers. My Senator has asked if I could get a receipt number from a July or August filer who has there NOA2 already (and who has not been expedited) so they can further look into this issue. I'm sure this is a strange request, but they are just trying to follow up because Vermont obviously is not honoring the first come, first serve promise that they make. Which we all know has been an ongoing issue. I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble or anything like that. And I'm truly happy for those of you who have already gotten approvals. I would not wish this long wait of no answers upon anyone. So basically, I'm just asking for help. Really trying to be proactive and get Vermont on the ball! Thanks for you time and anyone who may be of some help. And I'm open for any questions. Thanks!

I ran around the apartment screaming OMG OMG OMG

Just to add to my other post....this is what my Senator sent me.

I just followed up with the Vermont Center and they informed us that they do process the cases by date. I talked with the supervisor there and she said the only reason those other applicants would have received their approval notices before you is if their case had been expedited. If this is not the case and you know this for sure, she suggests you provide us with the receipt # and name of another applicant you know that received theirs before yourself but had a later received date and they will look into this. You can email me the information if you like….

My fiance and i are really getting tired of waiting. I see others around me with same filing date give or take a few days getting approved. I really hope something happens soon because i am really getting restless here
