Thanks a lot. That gives me hope. My spouse is already 89 years old, even though he is in ok health, there's always a possibility of his health declining. We are a same sex couple and we have been together for 20 years. Maybe i can go for the humanitarianism reason. Thanks a lot, that will give me hope because I do want my husband to see me become a citizen, and he is not getting younger sadly speaking.

USCIS is unlikely to expedite an application simply because your aging husband has certain expectations.  Him or yourself suffer no loss in this case. But alas, give it a try.

Hi, I was new and just joined on this site but I've been reading the comments here whenever I need some idea or help for my immigration process. It's so stressful, especially I got rfe last week about my ROC asking for more evidence. Btw I'm June 28, 2016 filer under VSC - NOA1 7/23/2016 - Biometrics 8/12/2016. I received an RFE June 2 and until now we still preparing for additional evidence that we have evntho we think that we send everything when we file. It's so frustrating and disappointing after waiting for almost a year and this is all we get - rfe 

Sorry to hear    what did they asked for?

[J&E2013 10]

I know, they ask for evidence like:

 

* children as a result of our marriage - we dont have children

* leases in both names showing joint occupancy or deeds and mortgages in both names showing joint ownership - my husband said that to put my name he had to refinance it so i dont know what to do 

* joint installment, other loans or credit card account statement - i dont have credit card but my husband have it

* a will, a trust, or a durable poa for health care or property or both - we only have trust, is that enough?

* and atleast 2 affidavits from third parties who have knowledge of the bonafides of our marital relationship - i need some help on sample of affidavits

Is a good idea!! I plan to start N400 at the end of the year. If the worst comes to worst, and N400 interview comes up and I751 hasn't, both will probably be adjudicated on the same day!! Aha. I've been out the country a fair bit the last few months, so I need to start my continuous residency fairly soon. 

The USCIS guideline does say they will approve 2 applications concurrently or approve 751 prior to the interview, so that is at least hopeful. I talked to an immigration officer on the phone today, he told me to wait for another 60 plus a few days to make an inquiry if I still Don't hear from them then. 10 months and 12 days and counting. Good luck.

Im sorry about that rfe request. I think I'll be in the same situation if they ask for an RFE. No kids (not ready lol), no credit cards together. 

My question is, you filed one june 26th but your NOA DATE is in July. Therefore youre a July filer !! Does that mean, they already looking into July filers? That gives me "hope"..? I guess lol.

Sounds like you didn't submit joint lease or joint bank account statements, those two are main pieces of evidence that they usually look for. I submitted medical records, phone records, utility bills in our names, will, power of attorney, photos, a trip we took last year, 2 letters from friends(it is better to attach copies of their driver licenses too,  my lawyer advised me that). Car insurance with our names. E renter insurance. Tax returns, monthly tent, joint lease, Amazon purchases that showed my name and our address. My lawyer thinks I have submitted more than enough evidence. If I get the RFE, we will just submit the ongoing evidence I have been collecting for 400 since 751 was filed. Good luck.

we didnt have joint lease coz my husband bought the house before i even came here 13 yrs ago and he said if ever to put my name he had to refinance so we dont have that one, about the utility bills its all on his name thats another thing i dont know how to explain it in the cover letter. but he put me into his 401k as beneficiary and we also have joint checking account but not when the time we got married so thats another thing i have to explain. we sent 3 yrs of tax transcript but i will send this years tax and also he listed me as a driver in our car insurance and im also in his health insurance from his work

You can request to put both of your names on your utility bills. I have been with my spouse for 20 years, we are a same sex couple, so we could not get married until 2013, there are many things you should probably have started to arrange shortly after your marriage or even before, but not every couple has joint lease or other types of evidence, that may become a problem. I assume you don't have a lawyer. I guess you might have to explain to USCIS as to why u are unable to produce certain evidence. Good luck, keep us posted.

You are probably right. Just spoke to an immigration officer this afternoon and he told me to wait for another 60 plus days and make an inquiry if i don't hear from them by then.

I got the RFE for same reason. Try to submit everything you can and if you are not able to provide the evidence then write a detail affidavit stating why you are not able to.

Yes we don't have a lawyer, and we can't afford one. About the bills I think it's too late now to do that and also i guess I just need to explain why some certain things we can't provide, I just hope that they consider the case and hopefully for approval
