Wrong Affidavit of Support

[Joanne and Adam 15]

Same situation here, but I double checked everything with him before he sent the affidavid of support package to me, just to make sure there won't be any problems. tbh, his mom, who is the cosponsor, was far more involved than he was. He did warned me before, that he was terrible at homework in school when he was young. That was my first clue

Adam hardly even gave me a chance to go through it properly with him. "Lets do this later" "I'm not in the mood to do this now" "Stop nagging at me" His mother is more involved than he is too- she's been really great through all of this.

Adam was also terrible with school work- never listened, never took notes etc- I was looking through his old schoolbooks when I was visiting in January and they are spotless! Not a word in them Somehow he managed to graduate and is now looking into studying engineering at uni so some miracle has definitely occurred somewhere along the lines.

He won't get the option to leave me alone with the paperwork when we're living together- I'll glue his rear end to the seat if I have to!

Thanks, my fiance is busy filling out the forms and getting them signed ready to post this afternoon, I know that doesn't leave much time but we can only hope it gets here by Saturday at the latest. I'll have him scan the forms and send those to me too just in case.

Wish I could enjoy the wait until my interview instead of panicking that we wont have everything done on time... men are hopeless with paperwork....

Your Finace, not Men, may be hopeless with paperwork.

My husband has no clue how he got to American and became a US citizen. Our new neighbor has been a permanent resident from Zambia for most of her life. She asked him if he would help her apply for naturalizationsi since he did it last year. "Duh......ummm...ask my wife. She'll fix you up.". Hahaha.

I think it kinda rolls in one ear and out the other with the partner who isn't deeply immersed in it. All the acronyms and form numbers are a blur.

Gowon agrees with you and goes further to always recommends that both entities be fully immersed in the process.

Agreed! Oh well. At least one of us is organised!

Men are hopeless with paperwork!? Thats kind of sexist don't you think? Just kidding. You're probably right. I made a typo on one of our forms and it set us back by about one month. I kicked myself in the a*s I don't know how many times for that. If not for that mistake my beautiful wife would already be here with me in the US. But interview is now set for earlu July. I kinda think things happen for a reason....maybe it wasn't just my carelessness after all? hahahaha Good luck, God Bless.... Aloha Ke Akua

It's true though! My husband has no idea. He knows I got a fiance visa. Has no idea about any of the forms or acronyms and has no desire to learn. We're at N-400 now so soon he won't even need to hear about it

FWIW - I've been doing this since 2009 and I never refer to the I-864 or I-134 as the "AOS" because it has other implications (this could be because I'm a K1 whereas most who use that acronym are CR-1). It's just as easy to write the form number and there's less confusion

Duly noted, it was missing the appropriate emoticon.

That being said, the female VJ contigent would be up in arms if I suggested that blondes are dumb. I of course am joking

Am I going to get TB for this?

That is my husband right there. I explain it to him as we go along but he would be useless to try and explain it to someone else.

Heck my hubs didn't understand it no many how many times I explained it. Too many numbers (for forms) I think and he just didn't bother. He's intelligent and certainly could have, just chose not to. *grrrr* LOL

Exactly. He has the concept, and is certainly capable of reading instructions, but knows I will handle it. Just like I have the concept of how our house it all networked and automated, but it's easier to say "will you go turn on the stuff in the movie room for me" rather than remembering what is precisely connected to what and how to play a blu-ray vs TV vs the movies that come from a mysterious place in the sky. I could eventually do it, but not explain it in terms of HDMI, DPI, ports, DNS, IP. He's turned it into a money making skill even. Now why can't I make money off immigration??

I134 is not binding like the I864, which locks you into support of your finance. Hopefully you will get it ASAP and all will go well. All the participants need to be on top of this immigration stuff to avoid any pitfalls and RFE's. Good luck.

He sent it off this afternoon and paid for the expensive 2-3 day delivery service.

They guaranteed it to arrive on Wednesday this week!

Regarding the extra money he's had to pay, I told him "think of it as the price you pay for ignoring my instructions!"

Great. Clearance Delay. Obviously this was going to happen because nothing can ever just run smoothly.

Clearance Delay

Your item has experienced delays in the clearance process at our shipping partner facility in STANSTED , UNITED KINGDOM on June 18, 2013 at 6:53 pm.

Why?!! There's literally just 2 pieces of paper in that package.
Please tell me this isn't going to cause a huge problem

Maybe the customs form was not filled out and ticked as documents or whatever. I used to prepare international FedEx shipments for work and there's certain rules for the international way bill. But I have erased all those details from my brain.

Print that out and it's another proof you tried to get it in time so they will sympathize and accepted the scanned version.
