Hey guys, hope all is well. Congrats to the new approves.....Anyways, I still didnt receive a new date for my interview. I sent a letter to Uscis since October requesting a new date and location for interview becaz I moved from the state they requested the interview for. Is there anyone ever been in this situation? Should I call them and inquire about my interview? It's been over 3 months.

Don't freak out, sometimes people focus so much on the abuse that they forget to mention how the relationship began. Just write a detailed statement and send whatever you have.

Hey Guys!!(Hopeful-2011! Dee07! Inpeace! Macbook!)

Finally I got the mail RFE today!!!

with expiration date, they want me to explain my courtship

GOOD FAITH MARRIAGE

with my ex- with more and more details...

they want to know everything....

transactions banking since 2009.

Insurrance with more explanation

Pictures with date location and events.

etc....

Stillalive, good faith RFE is better than getting other types of RFE. I had received the same RFE. I guess we focus too much on the abuse that sometimes we tend to highlight information how we had good intentions of getting into this marriage. Try to send them all the information that they are asking for. Also, send them anything that you think would help establish more facts about a good faith marriage. More relevant information is better here......so send as much good information as possible.

One of the things I did for pictures is, I went to the following website and put captions for each and every picture stating when was it taken and who all were in those pictures.

http://wigflip.com/roflbot/

I send a bunch of pictures with me and my ex when we were dating, with friends, family members, engagement pictures, wedding, honeymoon, after marriage, pictures at different locations....

So from an officer perspective, they can understand where each and every picture was taken and who all are there. It will help you to build your story.

The other thing I can say is take your time to gather as much information as possible. Do not rush to send the RFE back. Focus on quality vs. rushing to send it soon.

I think you might already know these things, but I again I'm just sharing my two cents. I hope this helps. Good luck! Everything will be fine.

Thank you dee and hopeful.

The waiting truly begins now.

Is it true that when you're married to a LPR it takes longer than a Citizen? or it doesn't matter?

Everyone's timeline varies a lot, I'm trying to figure out how come that happens.

Sir Charge, VAWA approval is not based on if you're married to LPR or a US Citizen. All the cases take the same amount of time. Once your VAWA is approved, then your I-485 or green card is based on if you're married to a US Citizen or LPR. If US Citizen, you can get green card immediately. If married to LPR, then the green card will get issued when the priority date gets current. Hope this helps.

Ok, guys they said they have ordered production of my card-i guess i don't have to go for the ADIT processing afterall.This whole thing has been very surprising to me but i give God the ultimate glory & i'm keeping my fingers crossed till i get the notice & the card.

This step applies to applications that result in an applicant receiving a card (such as a "green card") or other document (such as a naturalization certificate, employment authorization document, travel document, or advance parole).

Go ahead Kymber22, go ahead and call & talk to someone who will be able to give u a heads up or make a note that u have not be interviewed b/4 they think u have abandoned ur AOS, u never know with this USCIS.Ur case is long due for an interview,just make sure they have the right city & state to interview u & not the old one.
