I-751 April 2014 Filers

[ABR 0]

Did you file a waiver?

No waiver. We filed jointly and sent in everything they wanted. We thought we had enough proof. The letter we received said we have been randomly selected for the interview.

[evashallini 1]

Are you randomly selected??

What does it say in your letter?

I'm sorry if I did ask this before but couldn't remember: what was your RFE about, and what did you attach in your response?

Thank you!!

The letter we received doesn't say "randomly". It says to appear at USCIS local office on June 26th and to bring the list of documents (almost the same list that was mentioned in RFE)

When we sent RFE, we included:

- Official tax transcripts (2013). first time we only sent a copy of the tax return. We filed for extension this year because my husband just opened a business and is dealing with some accounting issues. I am waiting for him to file jointly. So we will bring a letter from the accountant saying we filed for an extension.

- car title in both our names and his name on my policy

- ALL bank statements from teh day teh account was opened ( the first time I just sent the most recent statements)

- credit cards in both our names linked to one account.

- additional affidavits

- additional mail to both our names to our house

- reference letter from the landlord (saying we are good tenants and have been there for 3 years)

- emails from the landlord to both of us as well as emails from Condo management to both of us

- my three year correspondence with hid dad over Facebook

- tickets to different events

- reservation in a hotel for our anniversary (we had to cancel because his mom was sick)

- invitation to our friend's wedding

- photos

We don't have life insurance, wills or Power of attorney in our names. Also, neither one of us has 401K to make each other beneficiaries, Also he doesn't have health insurance. Will be getting this year when enrollment period opens.

of course we sent lease in our names. We have been living at the same place for 3 years.

and bunch of other stuff

how does it look?

No waiver. We filed jointly and sent in everything they wanted. We thought we had enough proof. The letter we received said we have been randomly selected for the interview.

does it actually say "randomly"?

I checked timelines. I think PETER D has been approved on 04/21 after interview.

He should share his experience?

We had called uscis because it was taking too long after we sent in the rfe. The agent told us we'll hear back from them in 2 weeks or so. Than we received a letter saying that we have been randomly selected for an interview and to wait for them to schedule an interview at the local office. That was on January 10. Still waiting. Went to get a extention and the agent told us they only do i751 interviews there once a month. That's why it's taking so long.

how does it look?

It looks very good for me. I think you guys are very well prepared!!!

I wonder anyone who is still waiting that has NOT received a RFE?

A mega city like the Big Apple only conducts 1 interview a month? Unbelievable!!!!!!

When you are random;y selected it is probably just the formality. I wouldn't be concerned about it too much!

My notice looked different. So I am worried a little bit.

Evashallini, how did your interview go today?

Evashallini, how did your interview go today?

Hello everyone, we have our interview yesterday. We were one of the last couples to get called. People before us were separated and didn't look too happy. We were called in an hour later our appointment time, right around lunch time. Our office was a kind young man. He went though a pile of paperwork that he had in front of him and asked three questions:

Where I am from

If we were still living at the same address

If we wanted to have children ( I am about 5 weeks pregnant)

That was it. Attorney gave him another pile of paperwork and the officer was like "I have nowhere to attach it, your file is already too big". He said he would make a decision that day. So we are just waiting now. The whole thing lasted may be 15 -20 minutes and was stress free. If you have a real marriage, you have nothing to worry about.

Glad to hear it went well. I have been following your journey and I have been rooting for you ever since. All the best and I am sure you will hear soon.

Thank you! I will come back and post an update once the approval is issued.

[evashallini 1]

Just wanted to update you all that it has been 19 days since our interview and no news from USCIS.

What should I do? Any suggestions? Is this normal?

My attorney advised to do an info pass if I don't hear anything in 30 days.

[evashallini 1]

Just wanted to let you know that on Tuesday we got a case update we have been waiting for for a year and 3 months - "Card is in production"

Yay!!!!!
