Great news Charles! Glad to see that you were able to resolve that problem. Our petition arrived at the lockbox on the 2nd of August w/o any problems. I guess our USCIS employee was less ignorant than yours.

I would also tell USCIS in that letter that they should put your application back in place where it belongs and not put it behind everyone elses that have filed in August and September. It would be just awful if they pushed you back 2 months because of THEIR mistake.

Great news today, everyone!!!!

I received a call from my US Senator's office this morning. The lady said she talked to the USCIS and that, with respect to the fee change of July 30, all applications were to be accepted or rejected based on the POSTMARK, and NOT on the date received. All items had to be postmarked BEFORE July 30 to qualify for the older, lower fees. Therefore, I am waiting for a letter from the Senator's office that I will send with my original AOS packet (and check....hehehe) directly to a specific person at the Chicago office.

If any of you are in this same boat or know someone who is, I strongly recommend a direct contact with your Senator or Rep. This bit of good news has saved us $2,300 and perhaps months more of waiting while we saved the extra money.

Now, I only need to hope that I didn't screw anything up on the orginal paperwork!! haha

Wish us luck once again. And special thanks to you guys who've been so supportive with your words and advice.

Charles

Great news Charles I'm so happy to see that this mistake went your way!!!!

Orestes,

Does the marriage certificate have his DOB??

lucho562:

I do not know. I posted the same question in the Spanish only forum so that she understands this.

Does anyone know if the marriage certificate has his DOB in Colombia? Is there any other way to find out without asking him? I think she does not feel comfortable asking him directly. I'd appreciate any help.

Orestes

My finacée found her ex's DOB. I am glad she did. Thank God!

Hi all...Just checking in.

Rafael, did you get the 'Declaracion Juramental'? I hope so. PM me and let me know.

Yovanni....SIIIIIIIIII ve con tu esposa a la entrevista. Es lo mejor y es recomendado por la consul. Si tienes mas duda de esto, lee mi posting de mas o menos Julio/Agosto......

Creo que esta en Ingles, pero creeme, que fue la recomendacion esplicida de la vice-consul en un email que ella me envio a mi. Y eso se aplica para todos los aplicantes, sin importar el tipo de visa que solicitan.

Charles, way to go with your congressional inquiry.

Hello anyone and everyone,

I called the USCIS yesterday. I could not believe what I was hearing. As I mentioned before we submitted our 129f got eac number and responded to rfe. They updated the website to say we should get an answer witin 60 days. When I called the woman i spoke with told me that they count actual work days...Monday thru Friday excluding holidays.

When I called last week they passed me on to an officer an she never mentioned actual working days when we discussed the 60 day window.

Any advice, or confirmation. (The Vt office recvd the RFE on July 16, 2007...my last touch Sept 19 2007 2:30pm EST)

hola,

quiero saber si se debe hacer algo para poder ir a la cita con mi esposa.

gracias

Lo único que ud. necesita para entrar a la embajada es la carta de la cita y su pasaporte ya que ud. es el beneficiario. Su esposa necesita llevar el pasaporte americano porque ella es la ciudadana que mandó la petición. Sin el pasaporte de ella no la dejan entrar.

Diana

[paisita411 0]

Yovanni, Diana tiene toda la razon. Para que entre su esposa, ella solo debe llevar una prueba de ciudadania y el pasaporte el lo mas apropiado. Aparte de eso, no le piden a ella nada mas. Yo tb soy ciudadana y fui dos veses en este anyo a la embajanda.

If anyone is interested in seeing the recomendation from the consul about USC attending the interview, it can be found at the link below:

Hey guys, Do we still need the tax transcripts even though I have my 1040 and W2?

Thanks,

Rafael

[lucho562 0]

Rafael,

No, however some still take all 3. I for one took all 3, transcripts, w2 and 1040. The transcripts are free and i'd prefer to take those over the w2's and 1040. Transcripts come from the IRS.
