RFE AOS - bank statements? depends. Bank statements for co-sponsers only? depends paystubs? depends.

No one knows the answers to these questions, which is why its so F*%$# irritating.

Mrs. maybe you could get a paralegal certificate and we could all run a company which assists people with this process for a small fee? Wouldnt be legal advice, would be cheaper than an attorney, but just a document-based company that could help people like us!

Sachinky could be CEO. We could incorporate. Charge flat rates. Lets do it. :thumbs:

I had joked about this with my wife that I should start something of this sort or become an NVC executive and turn things around there. Maybe not the second one. I will end up becoming someones pinata :lol:

Update! Well, not an update, but more cryptic info for all to interpret.. called one last time for the night and a nice lady named Bailey told me that even if I anticipate an RFE and KNOW what the problem is, DONT send in another, because sending before they ask will confuse "reviewers" and cause delays when they need to differentiate WHICH form is updated. She said just wait for them to let me know if there is an issue.

Conflicting from another lady who told me I could go ahead and send with a letter of explanation. These freaks are amazing...

Oh man! I hate when we get conflicting information!

Anyway, I think you should wait to see if you'll get this RFE. Plus, if there is something more to add to this RFE you will have to to it twice.

I really hope you can go by without any bump and I know how hard it is to wait. Hang in there friend!

Good news for those people of faith that are waiting for case complete an operator told to a friend of mine that they will be scheduling interviews until march 18th

I apologize for my ignorance here. I've been away from the thread for the past week or so but what exactly does this post mean? Is it just for the Dom. Rep. embassy or all embassies? Either way, what happens AFTER March 18th?

Meh--I mean it was a relatively easy thing to fix. Took us ten minutes, tops, once I got through to the operator. Thankfully, we didn't have to run around much unlike the recent RFEs. It was just that I was SO prepared, you know, I couldn't for the life of me figure out what could possibly be missing. I mean we had all our tax stuff, police certificates, forms signed and completed etc, in early November! We just dated them and sent them out. So this setback was a bit tough.

Oh well, as long as I get a case complete in the next five hours, fifteen minutes, I'll be a happy camper. And an early April interview assignment next week.

While I'm praying for things, I might as well add a "beach body for summer 2010" and a "big pot of cash" to the list.

Whoo hoo and amen to all of that! Honestly, since my husband and I are taking the slow route through the NVC for the next month or so I honestly don't know what I'm going to do without your great advice when it gets that time for our case. Hang in there and I'm hoping you and everyone else gets their case complete soon!
