That's really great news, you guys must be so excited! Now on to the next step of the process

I'm really feeling for the ones who are still waiting, at least this approval shows they are not completely asleep at CSC. Let's hope this is THE week for approvals

[M and F 3]

Update:

I faxed letter to congressman (last night)

I called today - to confirm receipt of fax.

Receptionist transferred me to Immigration Specialist.

Immigration specialist was sweet.

She confirmed receipt and that she read my long letter.

She said that today or tomorrow she will send out a service request as to my file.

She agreed that sometimes files are lost in the shuffle

But that she can only do so much.

She told me that it may take 1 week to 90 days to hear from USCIS.

To call her after 90 days.

I'll be calling her in 11 days - my 4 month mark.

You start on the I-134 and all of the support documentation for that such as tax returns and paycheck stubs , he gathers his identification items and police cert. You both start organizing proof of relationship.

I haven't heard anything about Algeria, but I am assuming they will want him to prove the relationship is legit.

Also, read all reviews for your consulate here http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/

1. Employment letter for I134:

Aquire letter head paper from work and just type it up and print it out yourself, have boss sign it. Here is how I worded mine:

To whom it may concern:

(your name here) has been employed full time with the (business name here) since ( date of hire here) as a (position title here), and is an employee in good standing with an annual salary of $XXXXX.

Signed,

(boss signs here)

type bosses name here and his title

then i put the name and adress of business here

he had no trouble signing off on it, after making a joking comment on the good standing comment in letter lol.

2.Copies or originals of paycheck stubs

3. Letter from bank from each account, with account numbers and balances to match. I didnt include the deposits from the last year as I am including most recent bank statements for my checking and savings account.

4. Call the IRS and get the tax transcripts from the last 3 years, 2008, 2007 and 2006 they are free and they will mail them to you. Phone number for this is 1-800-829-1040. If you have these then you do not need your original tax return nor will you need the w2s.

5. If USC was previously married need a certified copy of divorce decree from the courts, easy to get. only cost me 15.00 to get mine from the clerks office here.

6. I retyped a new letter of intent to marry, with a most recent date. Just so they know I still want to do this hehe.

Thats the hard stuff, and its not so hard. All the rest of the stuff you should have already, ie. birth certificates passports proof etc.

Good luck! hope this is what you needed

Continued good luck for those waiting, things seem to move faster after the NOA2 for us
