Hey does anyone know which affidavit of support is preferred, the I- 134 or the I- 184? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I-134 is the affiddavit that you will need.

I-864 will be needed for adjustment of status.

Chester when they asked you how many times did you go to Colombia..and you went seven times ...

Rafael

It is just one piece of the many relationship evidence you can present. I don't know what the Consular Officer will think.

In my opinion Rafael this is something you must account for. When I was at my interview there was a young lady who was not approved. The reason......her fiance had only been to Colombia once and she brought for evidence a grand total of SEVEN EMAILS. Remember you have to burden of proving the relationship is real. I you can go to the interview then by all mean do and saturate them with evidence! Mucho pictures, emails and phone calls!

It's 9:40am in Colombia right now. Luis & Viviana should be sitting around windows 2/3/4. Viviana probably just got finished getting fingerprinted. I just get way too excited even thinking about this.

I was wondering if it is OK to line up on the US Citizens/Residents line during POE. We'll be arriving via Houston and we got crummy seats almost at the back of the plane. This means that almost everyone will be in front of us on the Visitors line.

FYI - If you plan on visiting Bogota and see the sites, go to Monserate or Montserat ?

We made it up the top on foot via the steps in under 2 hours, talk about FAITH!

Or you can take the cable car and be up there in 5 minutes.

Nice pic Chester!!!

How many feet above sea level is Monserat?

We received the rejection notice for our AOS today along with all of the original paperwork. The rejection was because I had not submitted a check based on the new rates, even though our package was postmarked July 28. The package was received in Chicago on July 31, so they are apparently basing the rejection on the date received rather than the date postmarked. This is NOT what I remember the USCIS site saying about the dates. Anyone have any printed evidence about the details of the fee change date?

I will try to reach a live person with the USCIS on Monday. Quite frankly, I don't know how we'll pay the extra fees, if that's what we end up having to do. Lorena can't work yet and because of my job, I can't have a second job without approval. I haven't cried yet, but I'm sure thinking about it.

Its time to call your Congressional office Charles...

I've contacted the offices of both of my Senators and waiting for a reply. Haven't had the time to try calling USCIS (or maybe it's the patience that I don't have....haha).

Chester,

My girl came in through MIA and she used the Citizens/Residents line. I was outside the Customs exit waiting for her as a surprise and they did not give her any problems... MIA of all places.

Coming in together, according to airport inspectors in my family, is no problem whatsoever. They do not ask you to separate at the line. Bon voyage!

Thank you Chester for the full report!!!! I love reading those so keep 'em coming.

Luis, we're waiting for yours!!

Charles... I am confident someone at USCIS has got to have realized the mistake they're making in rejecting these legit applications and are probably trying to get their collective foot out of mouth before they have a major public snafú. Hopefully their experts will consult our forum to get guidance...

Keep trying with your Senator/Rep. USCIS jumps pretty quickly when an inquiry is started.

Thanks, Bro. We're working away at it. We both appreciate the support of you and all the good folks here at VisaJourney.
