For those that applied for the fee waiver how much documentation did you send with it? If you sent enough evidence that you meet the requirements there should be no reason not to qualify. If the response was you had enough time to save I would call your local office and speak with someone.

I sent a LOT of documentation. I sent paystubs from the last four months, tax returns for the past 3 years, copies of all our of bills from the past 3 months to show what all our expenses are, I wrote a letter explaining our situation (we are on one income, my husband is a teacher and has had his salary frozen at $30,000 for the past two years), etc., etc. I might overwhelmed them with information if anything!

I really thought we had a simple case and we'd be approved for the fee waiver, but apparently not! The sad thing is, we wouldn't have been able to save up the $$ over the past two years cause we really don't have extra money every month to put into savings (which I demonstrated with all my evidence...or so I thought!)

I would contact my local office, but I feel like it's a lost cause since I already borrowed the $$ and resubmitted our application with the fee :(

It sounds like the reviewer let personal opinion interfere with their decision if they told you " you should have been able to save over 2 yrs" Even though you already sent money in and reapplied I would call and speak with someone. Have what ever proof you have in hand that the reason they turned you down was because " you should have been able to save that amount".

The waiver doesn't say anything about "should have" opinions. It states if you can prove you are 150% at or below poverty line then you qualify.

Anybody have particular insight into the rhyme or reason of ROC Interviews?

from my observation here in VJ, people who are requested to have interviews are usually the ones who got divorced before/within 2 yrs of marriage..

i also read something about a special case like the who one who's hubby(USC) is in jail..

Yeah, that appears to be what I've been seeing too. It would sure be nice to just get an approval for once, and not have to stress over another interview! But either way, we'll go with the flow.

Thanks for everyone's insight. Hopefully we will all see a simple approval and be done with our waiting soon!!

If you've already satisfied an IO in person that you're bona-fide, I shouldn't think you've got anything to worry about in that respect - if the local office has already decreed that the relationship is legit at the AOS stage then why bother with the expense of doing it again? :)
