Hey guys,

Long time since I've been on here! At one point I felt I could almost become an immigration attorney with all the knowledge I gained here. But as I have not been on much I forget a lot of what I knew haha..

Anyways we had a lawyer do our K1 whom I am very happy with and would reccomend to anyone as I have had bad experiences with immigration attorneys in the past myself. He mailed me to remind that its almost time for my ROC. And as asked about starting the process for me. But I feel we should be probably able to do this ourselves..

What are some of the do and donts for ROC and what are the must knows etc.. I believe we should file within 90 days of current GC expiration.. So we could pretty much mail it in 91 days before to be in good standing?

As for evidence we have the usual pictures, joint account, credit cards, lease and bills and I think im a dependent on the tax returns. Does this suffice enough usually? As for the section on criminal history, is this only relating to criminal activity since the date of mariage or receiving green card, or period? It doesn't make sense to ask for all the stuff already submited prior to getting married & GC does it?

As for the biometrics is this another round of biometrics different to the one done previously after marriage? Is there usually an interview for the ROC process, we didnt have an interview initially.

Thanks in advance folks!

Read the Guides to resolve some of the uncertainties.

In your evidence, include Wills, Medical Powers of Attorney, HIPAA releases, etc. These documents are slam-dunk evidence, and they're also indispensable in "real" life.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

What happens if you file a little after the 90 day window? Just delays the case a little?

If you file within those 90 days, then you are fine. You just can't file before 90 days

Thank you.
