Hi WAT - Welcome to May! By "evidence" are you referring to the evidence of your relationship? My list looks the same as yours, as I have the approved I-130 from my CR1 visa application. The only other difference is that I'm not including the tax transcripts and the employment verification letter. My husband is self-employed so I didnt think a letter from himself talking about how much he values himself in his current position would be all that convincing!

hi rexalite!

yeah I ment the evidence of relationship. I thought we just have to show it at the interview...

I got the I-693 papers back today. They are in a sealed envelope. Do I have to send the whole thing? I mean I'm not allowed to open it so I couldn't make copies... The doc just gave me a copy of the first page.

Oh we'll send it tomorrow!!! I'm so excited!

That's so exciting! I wish I could send mine tomorrow but it looks like we have to wait until the 20th!!!!

My doctor cancelled my apt this week and the earliest I could get in is the 19th. It's the last thing I'm waiting on!

I didn't want to have to mail stuff twice so I'm just waiting.

we had to wait so long cause we didn't get the money together...

Hi there!

I got two question, which might be stupid, but I am totally overwhelmed by all the stuff right now.

1. On form I-485, Page 3, Question 12: I had a J-1 Visa 3 years ago. I had the 2 year foreign residence, but I obtained some waiver visa when I went to see my husband. So I have to check yes. Is that correct? It is so confusing, because I think the 2 year foreign residence is way more important than obtaining a waiver...

2. On form G-325A, First line: What is the File Number? There is an A already printed. Do I have to put my Alien registration number in there?

Thank you so much for helping me out.

[NANDA 0]

Ok.

I am in.

They cashed my husband's check.

Now...lets play the waiting game...

[B&J 0]

Isn't the waiting the worst thing about all that? I hate it. By the time we receive the GC we all should be masters in beeing patient. If you count the time from applying for the visa till receiving the GC, we are talking about more than one year of being patient.

I'm not sure about question one but the A number is your Alien number that you put in there.

Nanda: That's good the check has been cashed! The NOA's may arrive this week!

The NOA'S arrived in the mail for me yesterday, so that was a relief. Hope the biometrics appointment arrives soon.

Hey all!

Waiting is definetely the worst part but it is not that bad since I'm with my husband now!

I can't wait to receive my EAD to finally be able to get a driver's license and start working!

What do you guys (without EAD) do all day? How long did it take you to get a job (for the ones with a EAD!!!lol)?

Have a lovely day,

Alice

Ugh I know! I hate waiting!!!!!!! It took us a while too because we didn't have the cash. One income sucks!!

alice_and_brandon - I go for a run, read, watch tv, play games ect.. Isn't much I CAN do!!! It's going stir crazy here with excitement that I'll be able to work (hopefully!!) not THAT much longer!

[levnd 0]

Oh and question! how did you guys package your stuff?

Right now, my stuff is seperated by form and all the stuff required per form in a folder. and then I used a big clip to keep them all together.

Then I put the cover letter on top and attached the two checks to that.

Is that good? Or should I put everything together in 1 folder(NO idea how that's all going to fit in 1 folder)

actually here I took a picture

Picture 1

Picture 2

I can't believe how thick it is!! Also I know you guys Love my paperclips

[WeAreTogetherNow 2]

WE SENT IT!!!! :dance:

I got so lucky that I met some german people where I live now and they offered me a job! So right now I'm making an unpaid internship, just to get in all the stuff I need to know till the EAD arrives.

@ kiwiana

congrats to your NOA1
