Just spoke to a supervisor Betsy. Very nice lady! Confirmed the checklist it's indeed just for those two corrections. I told her about the sponsor household size and she said that what I m saying sounds correct but since she can't look at the form she can't confirm. And that since we have another tiny box anyways(she actually apologized that how small it is and easy to miss lol) so just make sure that the part 8 adds up all the above numbers correctly. We put n/a where it asked if we are married, what did u put guys who got recently AOS approved? I want to make sure this time there isn't any mistake.

Didn't you try asking if you could bring the corrected form to the interview?

 

 

I'm the beneficiary, wife of USC.
12/30/2012: Got engaged.
1/16/2013: Got married in India.

11/6/2013: Case was transferred to Nebraska Service Center.

1/6/2014: 60 days of transfer are up, put in an e-request, given 30 days' time. Contacted the senator. Senator asked to wait till Feb 6 and if nothing then she will do something.
2/5/2014: Website status changed to RFE.

2/19/2014: Documents received by husband.
2/24/2014: RFE mailed.

3/6/2014: After 367 days, NOA2.

After approval kept calling NVC but NVC always had one reply, file was not in their system. Husband too called USCIS National Customer Service Center and was told case was sent to NVC.
4/2/2014: Write to NSCFollowup to know about the status of the petition.
4/10/2014: Put in a ?service request with USCIS starting with OVP to locate case.

4/22/2014: Petitioner sent email to NSCFollowup
5/14/2014: Receive email from NVC Research that they do not have a record of receiving the petition.

5/27/2014: Petitioner received response from NSCFollowup that the case was pending an internal extended review. Really?
6/19/2014: USCIS case status change, "On June 19, 2014, we shipped this case..."

About not using the maiden name since it doesn't say to use the maiden name, remember, not everyone has changed their last name to their married name, so in some cases (such as mine, for example), the last name IS the maiden name.

Basically, put whatever last name is their LEGAL last name at that time, whether that's the married name or maiden name.

[...]

Thank you, I really hope it is indeed a CC! It would be so frustrating to be disappointed again.

Also, as an Egyptologist I really appreciate the Egyptian dancers :D

:o That is awesome! I love Ancient Egypt and even contemplated Egyptologist as a career :lol:

Didn't you try asking if you could bring the corrected form to the interview?

No i actually didn't. I guess I should have. But since the operator already told me yesterday that it's not possible so I think I had given up on this option. I also asked about expedite and she told me the same thing as bdrew said. That they don't forward unreveiwed documents to embassy so I would have to come up with all originals for IV package again. I laughed at that and said forget it. She said that she can understand our hard situation and said sorry.

I was so hoping your husband gets to say that for once but still you got a checklist for some other reason...

Yup. I lost both ways lol.

Thanks :luv: will leave it blank this time. And we can just send it with AOS cover sheet? Or do we have to make any changes on that? It says attn:CMR on that

AOS checklist says Attn: DR

It also state that case number should be written at the upper right-hand corner of all documents and also a copy of the checklist should be included when sending the checklist. That's what is stated on the false checklist that I got.

It looks like the AOS fee will be increased from $88 to $120 from Sept 12th.

Well maybe the increase will be used to speed up service?? :rofl:

I don't think its right. Because if you put 1 in part 5 qs 3, that means your part 5 qs 8 will be 3 when you add up part 5 qs 1 to 7.
