Austin is amazing-minus the death heat/gongshow drunken disasters that happen on or around 6th street past 2 am! hahaha. There's never a reason to be bored here, that's for sure.

San Antonio it is-biometrics, river walk and Alamo visitation, here I come I guess...

Hello there.

I'm a AoS July filer too!

Here's a bit of my story.

I had to submit the whole package without I-94 which made it very stressful for me.

Long story short, I didn't get my I-94 stappled in my passport at the airport.

A few days later, I called them so they can fix the issue, but they refused.

I set an infopass with my local USCIS office and the officer advised me to file for AoS without I-94, which I did.

Basically I tried to make my AoS package look the best I could, and in place of I-94 I did put a testimony along with the stamp on my K1 visa in my passport + Boarding pass. And I closed my eyes and wait, expecting this package to get returned or something...

But no, yesterday I had an email saying my case was transferred to CSC so I guess that's good news.

You can't get a RFE after being transferred, can you? ^^

Last significant immigration event:

ROC: Approved : 04/17/2013

USCIS works in mysterious ways...

Check the birthdates on the forms. My husbands was rejected for "incorrect fee" because I put his birthday as 10/**/2010, i.e. my husband isn't even born yet. Just want to save you another mailing to the lockbox if that is a possible error.

POUTINEEEE hmmmmm I want some too haha!

Yeah local office for biometrics.. And from what i see, there's no office in Austin, so since San Antonio is the closest one, i guess yes, San Antonio... Lucky you live in Austin!! I love Austin! 6th street is the best hehe. I'm in Dallas, and i went 2 times to Austin yet. And going back in October :dance:

POUTINE!!! YUM! LOL... best I have found in Dallas is at Dodies... not poutine, but "Cajun Cheese Fries"... it does the job tho :P

Or Whole Foods sells cheese curds.. you can make your own! :)

I have a fresh shipment of Tim Hortons coffee... oooohhh the pleasures of "home"!

My best friends are coming to visit me tomorrow from Toronto.. I told them that their "guest fee" is a giant canister of Tim Horton's coffee. LOL! Come by for a cup of coffee anytime :)

btw - I saw a girl at Subway the other day with a "Canada Eh!" t-shirt on.. she musta wondered why I kept smiling at her. Total nerd, I know. It's amazing how much more "Canadian" we/I become once I am away from my home.. and how "American"/patriotic we/I become in my new home :) LOL!

So we realized today that we made a typo in my husband's place of birth on the I-864. I hope it won't cause problems. It was a stupid oversight.

I would think.. I would *hope* that on the I-864 it shouldnt matter too much.. they just wanna know that there is enough financial stability. A minor typo shouldnt matter. However, if it was a HUGE difference like different cities then maybe it would cause a stir?? But a typo?.. not a big deal, me thinks.

It was at the beginning of the word... hopefully it'll be okay... even if it means a couple of weeks delay in cross-checks. They can trace him I'm sure through his SSN etc and see it's a genuine mistake. I'd hope! We've had no problems so far in the process and it'd be nice to continue in this manner.

My husband was touched on 8-4-2010 and then again today on 8-9-10. I am hoping it means a biometric's letter was mailed out.
