Received my RFIE... as suspected it's to do with my I-864 form.

I'm hoping people can help me out with this...

Firstly though the letter says that I need to send the letter with my response. Does this need to be the original letter though? I will need to make a copy either way but don't know if USCIS will be upset if I don't send the original.

What's there to lose patience for if you already have your EAD/AP?

Just received my Green Card today We didn't get called into an interview! My card is valid for 10 year though.... That has to be a mistake, right?

So looks like part 4 Q1a-Q1c were left blank!! Really a rookie mistake haha, tucked away in the bottom of page 3 I just must have missed it thinking how many times do they need the sponsors name on one form.

The letter does go on to say that the form was submitted from a joint sponsor but I can't see where I might have indicated that as for Q1 I marked part (a). No crosses made against part (d) or (e).

ps I wrote my wife's name as you would normally see it right at the beginning forename then surname.... Is that the correct way?

My wife is the only one sponsoring me so are there any pitfalls in the form I should watch out for please?

I'm in Port Jefferson, about half an hour away from you. Looks like we have similar time frames too :). My biometrics is in Holtsville. I don't know that many people around here so it's good to know others in the same situation.

Awww nice! How long have you been in Port Jeff and where are you originally from? It's quite quiet I find.

I might go in next week and see if they can take me, not that I have any excuse to go in early. When was your appointment scheduled for?

i would just call them ask if a photocopy of the letter is sufficient enough or if it needs to be the orginal letter... its better to call than to send a photocopy and you get another RFE for not having the orginal... I personally dont think a photocopy would matter and it would be sufficient enough but they could be rather strict about it

I would make a copy and send the original with your response. I had to send in some original documents after my K1 interview and I just know that I had to include the original letter I received from the embassy.

Nice :) I'm in Alexandria, too!

Marriage/ AOS Timeline:

23 Dec 2015: Legal marriage

23 Jan 2016: Wedding!

23 Jan 2016: "Blizzard of the Century", wedding canceled/rescheduled (thank goodness we were legally married first or we'd have had a big problem!) :sleepy:

24 Jan 2016: Small "civil ceremony" with friends and family who were snowed in with us. December was a bit of a secret and people had traveled internationally and knew we *had* to get married that weekend, and our December legal marriage was nothing but signing a piece of paper at our priest's kitchen table, without any sort of vows etc so this was actually a very special (if not legally significant) day. (L)

16 Apr 2016: Filed for AOS and EAD/AP (We delayed a bit-- no big rush, enjoying the USCIS break)

23 Apr 2016: Wedding! Finally! :luv:

27 Apr 2016: Electronic NOA1 for all 3 :dancing:
29 Apr 2016: NOA1 Hardcopy for all 3
29 Jul 2016: Online service request for late EAD (Day 104)
29 Jul 2016: EAD/AP Approved ~3 hours after online service request
04 Aug 2016: RFE for Green Card (requested medicals/ vaccination record. They already have it). :ranting:
05 Aug 2016: EAD/AP Combo Card arrived! (Day 111)
08 Aug 2016: Congressional constituent request to get guidance on the RFE. Hoping they see they have the form and approve!

K-1 Visa Timeline:

PLEASE NOTE. This timeline was during the period of time when TSC was working on I-129fs and had a huge backlog. The average processing time was 210+ days. This is in no way predictive of your own timeline if you filed during or after April 2015, unless CSC develops a backlog. A backlog is anything above the 5-month goal time listed on USCIS's site

14 Feb 2015: Mailed I-129f to Dallas Lockbox. (L) (Most expensive Valentine's card I've ever sent!)

17 Feb 2015: NOA1 "Received Date"
19 Feb 2015: NOA1 Notice Date
08 Aug 2015: NOA2 email! :luv: (173 days from NOA1)

17 Aug 2015: Sent to NVC

?? Aug 2015: Arrived at NVC

25 Aug 2015: NVC Case # Assigned

31 Aug 2015: Left NVC for Consulate in San Jose

09 Sep 2015: Consulate received :dancing: (32 days from NOA2)

11 Sep 2015: Packet 3 emailed from embassy to me, the petitioner (34 days from NOA2).

18 Sep 2015: Medicals complete

21 Sep 2015: Packet 3 complete, my boss puts a temporary moratorium on all time off due to work emergency :clock:

02 Oct 2015: Work emergency clears up, interview scheduled (soonest available was 5 business days away--Columbus Day was in there)

13 Oct 2015: Interview

13 Oct 2015: VISA APPROVED :thumbs: (236 days from NOA1)

19 Oct 2015: Visa-in-hand

24 Oct 2015: POE !

15 Dec 2015: Fiance's mother's B-2 visa interview: APPROVED! So happy she will be at the wedding! :thumbs:

I was just looking at your signature, how did your interview go?

Unfortunately I did not get an actual interview yet just that my case is ready to be scheduled for one

But if you look in the February AOS there is some reviews on there AOS interviews and they said it was easy and most time they spent during the interview process is 15 min
