AOS RFE Affidavit of Support

[Yodrak 7]

Clownies,

What are you talking about? First you ask what's wrong with the people at the CSC, then you comment about the person working on your case in Chicago.....

If the RFE did come from Chicago then the person you spoke with at the InfoPass appointment was somewhat correct - the people in Chicago don't really know what they're doing. But then again they don't 'work on' the cases. All they do is check the submission for completeness, create a file, and forward the file to Missouri where someone who does know what they're doing processes the case. And it is possible that your attachment page went missing somewhere along the line.

If you want to talk to people who really know nothing at all, make that call to the 1-800 number.

Yeah well, I just checked that so called EZ Affidavit.. I CAN NOT use the darn thing! The petitioner can use it when he or she only wants to use his or her income. Assets are not being mentioned here! What's wrong with those people at CSC??

I think i'm gonna apply for a job there, once i have my EAD. At least I KNOW what this is all about!

I'm just wondering, maybe the officer working on my case in Chicago didn't see the attached sheet with the list of my assets.. Naaah! They're not that stupid! Are they? hmmm...

I guess I'm gonna sleep over it, and call the 1-800 number tomorrow... Better have a cup of coffee and a newspaper handy all the while being on hold...

I explained my case to the people at the InfoPass, showed them all my papers, and they agreed with me, and told me to use the new EZ affidavit form, which, as it turned out, I cannot use! Hence my frustration towards them.

Anyway, i went to an immigration lawyer today, and he agreed with me, telling me that most of the people working on our cases are low-educated people, not really knowing what they're doing, or, indeed, that maybe they processed the file without the attachments. He told me to resend them the affidavit, with all evidence, and an explanatory cover letter. He looked at my assets, and agreed that I have more than suffcient funds indeed, and that i shouldn't have any problems with it.

My experience was nearly four years ago but your post caught my eye because I was in pretty much the same situation...

Our office was/is San Francisco, and I am the USC spouse/sponsor. I had the assets, many times over what was required, in CASH. Sitting in a money market account. As liquid as it gets. What I did not have was a JOB. We were literally just about to take off on a backpacking trip across Asia, hence we had both quit our jobs. I had the prior years' taxes making well over the required amount, demonstrated history of earning potential and financial stability. Plus over the required amount in assets to make up for my $0 income. I didn't see any problem with all this -- I fulfilled all the federal guidelines. My lawyer insisted I had a problem. He told me the San Francisco office liked to make its own rules and he had had several clients with millions in assets (I didn't have millions though ) who were RFE'd and required to get joint sponsors.

I ended up getting an emergency job for the freakin' affidavit and then quitting it as soon as we had sent in the paperwork. We got back 9 months later, one month before our interview, and I scrambled to find another job in time for the interview.

I think you've gotten good advice here and wish you the best in getting this resolved. The above was just sharing my own frustrating experience with the SF office and the affidavit.
