Hello all, for our case we were instructed by the embassy that we need to show proof of an intent to re-establich domicile in the U.S., the dreaded 221(g). While we have taken most of the steps in terms of applying to jobs, and making a considerable money transfer to our U.S. bank account, as well as providing information such as driver's license etc., we still have a sticking point of showing proof of where we're going to live when we get there.

We made plans to stay with our joint sponsor for the short term, upon our arrival, until we find a place of our own and move into it. In order to show this to the embassy I've read around that we can get a letter from him stating that we have made such arrangements.

Does anyone have (or can at least point me to) a sample letter as such. We're not really sure what kind of (or how much) information it should include, and how detailed it should be. Should it be an official rental agreement, even though he doesn't plan to charge us for staying with him? Are there any specific points that we have to make in this letter? Does the letter need to be notarized?

Your help as always is immensely appreciated.

It doesn't have to be terribly formal. Here is a suggestion...

To Whom It May Concern:

I am <name>, and I am the sponsor for <LJSant and spouse>. I am <describe the relationship...family? good friend?> to the couple who are in the process of moving to the United States from <foreign country>. Since the couple will be re-establishing residency, and that may take a few weeks, I am welcoming them in my home at <address> for the short term. While they are here, they will be looking for a place to live and finding employment.

In order for them to save money during this time, I am not charging them rent.

I am looking forward to their arrival, as soon as <name's> visa is issued!

Sincerely,

<Name of Sponsor>

Hope this is helpful!

Do we have to pay extra to get our interview date expidited ?

As far as I know there is a fee of $ 1225.00 for I-907 (premium processing) only for employment visas, not for expedites.

With the I-907 USCIS guarantees a response within 15 days,if thye don't, they refund half of the fee. (612.50).

This subject of "VIP" for immigrant visa is highly controversial, some people wants it some others do not.

What do you guys think?

To be expedited you have to prove hardship to the US citizen .

We were not expedited at the uscis, but we were at the NVC.

Our expedite was approved based on financial hardship because I had to quit my job to move to take care of my mother who is dying of cancer. Also, I added medical reasons to mine because I was recently diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder that causes a lot of pain making it difficult for me to care for my mother and my 2 children.

Expedites aren't handed out easily usually.

Another reason they are granted is if the US citizen is in the military and will be deploying soon.
