got my rfie in the mail today :(

They need :

- i-94 arrival/departure record and the passport page showing admission to the us.....Ive already send that

- Birth certificate translated in english

- I-864 instead of I-864w

the first 2 i don't have a problem with. but why do i need the i-864?

my ssa statement shows i have 35 quarters already

my husbands ssa statement shows he has 40 quarters already

now we have been married 4 1/2 years now and according to the instructions i can be credited by my husband.

Since we've been married i can be credited with the quarters that he earned, hence each year one will get 4 quarters for earnings.

So by my calculations we have ( 4 years x 4 quarters =16 quarters, since we've been married ) mine 35 +16 + his 40 = 91 quarters.

i know its confusing, but i dont understand why we have to file i-864 now and we dont have enough earnings according to the poverty guidelines, because my husband is/was self employed and now disabled

i dont know what to do now, should i resent the I -864w again with explanation and maybe a certified ss statement ?

And they didnt even ask for the i-693

i know this is an unusual circumstance, but any help would be appreciated

This is too complex, I think you should start your own thread in the main aos forum. Good luck and I'm sorry I can't help.

Got an update today.

My I-485 was approved. Status on the I-140 wasn't changed though, so hopefully wasn't an error. I will see what my attorney thinks.

There we go. I-140 updated to approved also.

So it took just over two months (June 15th to today) for my concurrent filed application to be approved. I probably got lucky with the retrogression of EB2 cases.

Good luck to everyone else.

I have submitted my package on June 28 and went in for the Biometric appointment on July 28, and after that I haven't received anything regarding my case. I am just wondering if I should start looking for a job now? I read that it is possible to send the EAD Expedite Request if I got an offer, does anyone have experience with this? THANKS IN ADVANCE! Cheers!

I am just wondering if I should start looking for a job now? I read that it is possible to send the EAD Expedite Request if I got an offer, does anyone have experience with this? THANKS IN ADVANCE! Cheers!

My advice would be to start looking for a new job, and negotiate a start date of Monday October 3rd, which is the Monday after the 90 day mark of you application (September 26th) was received. If the date they received it is different, adjust accordingly. This will give a very high probability of obtaining your EAD card before your start date.

If you have not received your EAD approval by 75 days (September 11th), put in a case inquiry to verify if its been assigned to an immigration officer. If you have a job offer on hand by that time (or after without your EAD), call and put in an expedite request stating financial loss to yourself and provide them with a copy of your job offer.

They wont accept a request to expedite before 75 days have passed, and I wouldn't try to use an expedite request to start working before the 90 day mark since the IO might think that its your own fault for not planning, and your new employer might get annoyed to.

So go ahead and start looking for a job, and relax for another two weeks before you start taking action.
