Mary, I would say do send the pictures. I've always sent a lot - over 50 - and things so far have gone good for us. The way I see it, "a picture paints a thousand words" and seeing the two of you together in real life situations with each others family is pretty good proof you had a valid marriage.

My pictures are also on the computer. I inserted 2 to a page in a Word document and put captions under them saying who was in them and the event and stuff. I used Christmas with family, at the hospital with my son and his newborn son, us after a coworkers weddding, etc. When you have other family of yours or his in the picture, and coworkers and things like that, it definitely shows more proof that you're living your life together. It's hard to pay over 20 people to pretend to spend a day together for Christmas and act like your marriage is real, especially children. Facial expressions sure say a lot.

Package will go out today via express mail so they will get it tomorrow at least when they see the package they maybe give a second look to my case. I know images say more that thousand words., and I am proud to say that my stepson and i love each other. I remember he told his dad once that he loves me more than him and his mom, if he wanted to know if his dad will be mad for that. I am being part of their life and them of mine for seven years and i love them more than anything in this world.

Hang in there my friend, i feel your pain. i will share my experience with you and i hope you will get something from it and i really recommend you do the same.

the Exact same thing that happened with you,happened with me. and i was freakin out. i would say first of all look at the reason on your denial letter, if it's something that you don't have to go to court and appeal for then that's great. because all you have to do then, is to send in another package with all you can tell them about how good your relationship with your wife is, and then wait. for me it worked out great and in my case it was an I-751 waiver and i got approved without and interview after 3 month of filing the second time. so cheer up and don't worry, it will all be ok. make sure you add the denial letter in your second package that you send out and make sure you pay the fees and everything becasue what's gonna happen is that they will send you an extension letter and you will have to do the biometrics again. Good luck and please let me know if you have any questions.

BEST Of Luck

Alright my friend, i'm glad i made you feel better

to answer your first question, yes,i used an attorney for my case and i recommend you use one. it saves you alot of trouble and i think it makes them look at your file in a different way. it's difnitly worth the money spent in getting a lawyer and you don't really have to hire an expensive one. just do your research or friends recomendation.

second, yes you will get another extension letter

third, the problem with me was that i couldn't send them my divorce papers in time , becasue it wasn't finalized so they denied my case.

Good luck

Hi,

I'll probably be in a situation somewhat similar to yours ... although papers have been filed with the court for more then a year ago to end the marriage, my husband, the USC doesn't want to give me the divorce so, I will have to file I-751 soon but still in divorce proceedings....

What waiver did you filed? How did you self-petitioned?

:huh:
