you should be concerned only if you've ever been to the US on a J-1 visa.

Dated since 2004, 10/22/2008 Married in NY, wife left the country, returns on 01/06/2009 as a visitor (granted stay until July 2009)

01/15/2009 Sent I-130 package for CR1 to Chicago Lock Box, 01/19/2009 USCIS Chicago received the application

01/26/2009 USCIS sent out NOA1, 01/28/2009 Moneygrams Order cashed

02/24/2009 Case is in Vermont Processing Center (told by the USCIS by calling the free phone line)

03/02/2009 NOA2 mailed, application approved!!!! (47 days since we mailed I-130 package)

03/05/2009 NVC Received Case / Case number assigned

03/12/2009 DS-3032 / AOS fee bill generated and e-mailed to us, 03/12/2009 I e-mailed and snail mailed DS-3032 and paid AOS fee bill online

03/18/2009 NVC received DS-3032 and it was entered into the system (I never received email confirmation)

03/20/2009 IV Bill generated and I paid online

03/30/2009 Sent I-864 package to NVC, 03/31/2009 Sent DS-230 package to NVC

04/01/2009 IV fee shows unpaid, 04/03/2009 documents are under review (confirmed by operator)

04/06/2009 IV Fee finally shows PAID, 04/07/2009 AVR system says that IV bill has been processed, "instruction package" received by email

04/08/2009 AVR system says "NVC received your documents on April 3...", our case is under review...

04/10/2009 RFE issued for DS-230 Part I, but AOS accepted

04/14/2009 found out the exact issue with DS-230 and sent the response using Chris Parker's RFE shortcut and later in the day received an email checklist for RFE

04/15/2009 RFE response arrived to the NVC facility, 04/20/2009 RFE response received by NVC

Glad you posted this. I went and checked our Q20. Here's how ours reads - tell me what you think.

Town X - 5/2002-Present

Town Y - 9/2005-Present

Town Z - 11/1988-5/2002

Home town - 11/1973-11/1988

You see he has two businesses one in town x and one in town y. We used town y as his residence for our marriage certificate that's the only reason we included it.

Any one's opinion?

You're almost there! Congrats in advance.

BTW, what was the RFE about?

My AOS was entered into the system last April 17, and the IV package made it yesterday as well. I wonder how long it will take before I hear back from NVC?

case completed on 04/23/2009 and interview scheduled 06/02/2009

four and a half months after sending in I-130 package. wonderful.

I got an RFE because I was on J-1 visa twice in the past and they wanted me to submit some documentation showing that I didn't have a 2-year residency requirement...

thank you and good luck to you!
