Thanks! I think most of Scotland is remote and rugged without any cell signal? Either way it is beautiful and I'm really enjoying the few days we have left here.

Thanks! I hope you're right. At this point just having and knowing our interview date will be a big improvement.

Thanks! At least we found the site. I don't understand how anyone could go through this year long process in the dark without VJ.

Thanks! The sooner the better! We were ready for that interview with all supporting documents about a year ago! :)

Advance congrats!!!!!!

If you wanna get over a fear of needles... do what I did and get deep vein thrombosis. You get blood work done every day for a while :D then every three days, then every week, every two weeks etc etc etc

I used to pass out at the sight of a needle, but now I'm just like "you need 20 bottles? Ok *lifts up sleeve and donates 100% blood volume*"

Disclaimer: I don't really recommend getting DVT. Drink tons of water on flights, walk around, research your birth control etc etc :D

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

I've only ever had ONE blood test done and that was for the dang immigration medical more than 3 years ago.

After your AOS fee shows as paid, you are going to send both your AOS and IV packages without paying the IV fee?

yes, I know many people who did that.. and after like a month or so, their IV fees get invoiced..I will be using the AOS barcoded sheet for both packets...:)

with the new process its getting slightly different, you might need to also wait for a "document cover sheet" that they will email you, i posted it a few pages ago as I got one yesterday.

I think I got mine yesterday..do i also need to attach that?? Plus, don't you get your document cover sheet after you pay the AOS fees. It gives you an option to print the document cover sheet.

Hi guys!

My husband just called up NVC and got our case number after just a week.

So confused though. Our number starts with KEV. But I'm from the United Kingdom.

Isn't Kev for Ukraine or something?

I'm confused haha.

Thank you!

Too much blood work... *dead*

I've only ever had ONE blood test done and that was for the dang immigration medical more than 3 years ago.

My husband came with me to my migraine clinic a couple days ago. I have to get blood work at each visit (just once a month) and then the injection of the actual medicine. My hubby refused to even look in my direction for both!!

I had to break some news to him, if this experimental medication hits the market, he's going to have to give me the shot every month because I can't give myself one!! :rofl:

Uh, yes, KEV is for the Ukraine. I'd get back on the phone and explain the situation. You'll need to get a new case number.

Oh my... I feel SOOOO sorry for your husband :rofl: I'd be the same way!

Funny story, my husband just had a form of LASIK eye surgery done last Thursday. He's been making video blogs about it. He asked me to film the eye surgery. Let's just say, half way through his first eye (with all the scrapping and clamps and such) and I nearly passed out. For the rest of the surgery, everyone in the room was asking if I was alright :rofl:

Don't watch it! I barely even looked at it, I was just watching every few seconds, over my glasses, to see if the frame was shot. But from those glances, I got very warm and hot. One of the assistants noticed, and took the camera from me as I took not only my sweater off, but my shirt as well (I was wearing a thin tank top underneath). Another assistant brought me a bottle of water. So nice, haha. The guy doing the actual surgery said it's completely normal and lots of people don't feel well after watching. He even mentioned one guy, who had been standing, completely fell on him while he was doing the surgery :blink: So yeah, suffice to say, after watching the surgery and hearing everything my husband is going through (irritation and such), I'm never doing eye surgery. I can't even touch my eye (tried getting contacts once and nearly passed out) :lol:
