Congratulations USA_CA!!!...

Onto the next stage of citizenship for you now!

By the way, what was your RFE for exactly, and how long after your RFE did they approve you?

[/center]HI guys...

thanks for all your support=)

Well,

my story is a little crazy...

I had sent off the entire package back in Dec of 2008, moved in the meantime and had updated my address with USCIS.

I didn't hear back from them for quite a while and I just thought one day' Hey, let's call them, cuz I shouldve gotten something by now'...called and found out that my biometrics appointment was literally THE NEXT DAY .

Can you IMAGINE what wouldve happened if I didn't show for the biometrics appointment?

So, they faxed me the appoinment letter...went to the support center with my fax...and they wouldn't accept the fax that was sent from USCIS bec my name was misspelled!!!
So, had to talk to an immigration officer, got that straightened out...got biometrics taken..

2 weeks later I get another biometrics appointment at a support center closer to my house.
Thought about not worrying about it, but I though' hey, show up, got nothing to lose'
Good thing I showed as the immigration officer explained to me....he had no clue why I had received another letter though and I was free to go.

2 weeks after that I received an RFE due to lack of evidence..and I really didn't send a lot so it was no surprise.

I submitted the RFE and I believe got approved about 3 weeks later.

My entire package of documents included( this is the RFE package)

cover letter

copy of

[*]greencard, my driver's license and my husband's passport [*]creditcard statement in both of our names [*]apartment lease agreement [*]car lease agreement [*]car insurance in both of our names [*]repairs that were done on my car, but addressed to both of us [*]gym membership showing me as the master account holder(I work at a gym haha) [*]life insurance showing my husband as the beneficiary [*]tax returns from 2008 filed jointly [*]3 differenet envelopes addressed ( new address)- to both of us, to me and 1 to him


It's been a little bit of a crazy journey, but it's over now.

Please check my timeline for exact dates.

I wish all of you guys best of luck and just because you got an RFE doesn't mean they won't approve it or will call you in for an interview.

I thought we'd get interviewed for sure due to us not having had an interview for the AOS process- but we didn't.

Please keep in mind, that my case status HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED since Feb of 2009- and that only shows they received my case and that it is pending.

Hope this helped=)
