Congratulations! The wait must feel worth it now  Can't wait to follow you through the rest of the process!

I think so! Now I have something new to obsessively stress about, AOS haha! For some reason I'm not worried about the Stockholm interview at all, but more paranoid about an endless wait for EAD/AP which can sometimes go over 130 days aaah. I will update you all along the way

Congrats everyone! I'm August 22 and I'm so nervous now! I hope tomorrow we get approved. I might die a little inside if I get an RFE

I wrote up a long reply here and lost it. =__= So excuse the brevity below.

 

I'm confused if this is the petitioner or beneficairy's child again... I'm going to assume it's the petitioner's child given the reference to their W-2. If instead you are referring to the beneficiary's child and they are not seeking a visa, they are not counted in the I-134 at all.

 

item #4 says "Enter the number of unmarried children you have who are under 21 years of age, even if you do not have legal custody of these children.". There's an exception for minor children living abroad not declared as a dependent on taxes who have reached the age of majority there, but that's a pretty rare case.

As such, I would say "partially dependent" would probably be most appropriate for a minor biological child where you are not currently providing the direct care for them. The CO will look at the totality of the circumstances to make a decision anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much on how to list them.

 

Some embassies are more strict than others for an I-134, and others don't even regularly request one. But you should still have it anyway (and most do request it). A copy of the I-129F packet isn't required at all, but is good in case any papers got lost along the way.

 

It depends on the totality of the circumstances as determined by the CO, but generally that should be perfectly fine.

Yep im referring to the petitioner's child. Since full custody was given to his ex wife. But still he has his child support. I will take your advice then, it would be better if he place it as partially dependent on him. Right? Thank you guys. ☺️

Hi all! Congrats to new approvals! 

 

Okay so I decided to go through my papers again to make sure I won't receive and RFE and like the genius I am.... where it asks for where your "beneficiary intends to live in US".... I put the wrong state!! The zip code is for the correct town, and the address is correct everywhere else, its just that one section! HELP! What do I do?

You don't do anything.

 

it may get an rfe than you correct it and send it back.

 

it may also get a normal human being whose smart enough to see and correct it.

 

theres nothing to do at the moment, and an rfe is nothing to be scared of. It is easily resolvable.

I really really realllllly hope and pray so! Hopefully they notice its the same address as each other things, stupid scroll bar! 

How long to RFE usually take? Will this delay the process? Noa1 was on 8/29/2017, which makes me hope they get to it soon! Hopefully this doesn't affect it to much! TY!

It won't affect it too much.

 

if it gets an rfe, you'll wait for it to reach you about a week, then after you answer and they receive it usually 2 weeks to 6 weeks. But this is a simple problem so it may take really little time to approval.

WE ARE APPROVED 

SO I'm having a really bad week as confirmed my Temp job finishes next week and I injured my ankle last week and still in much pain. Not sure what I'm going to do for work as no idea on how long I really need it so I was a mess driving home today. My internet/laptop decides that I'm not allowed to watch Critical Role live which I was kinda hoping would get me out of my head a bit. I checked the USCIS site just before i went to close computer which I got a Approved notice, i promptly called my Fiance (who is the petitioner) to confirm number, he checked and was the same so now he actually needs to check his mail next week

This is the best pick me up and now I can work stuff out without this in back of my head. 

Sending all my vibes for quick approvals to everyone still waiting and Congrats to everyone who is approved (i'm finally caught up on this thread)

Received date 29/8 (and going to update time line now)

Hello to everyone!! Congratulations to all who got approved!!

This morning I woke up with message from my fiancé. He got letter from uscis of REF, nothing was updated online, still shows received. Date of REF 14 February, received 22 February. Our noa1 August 7. Hope everything will go faster from now.

Wish everyone smooth journey! One step closer every day for everyone! 😊

[Thelucybelle 674]

After a beautiful week away in Wales with my love I am reminded yet again of why we are doing this. He is patient and kind and so funny ( and really hot btw!) and he loves me fiercely despite my disappointment that we are still waiting for this elusive approval. It gets harder and harder as every day passes and I see more and more approvals further away from August 10th and he holds my hand and tells me “soon baby, so soon” So I’m sitting in the airport with puffy eyes, a snotty nose,  a heavy heart and I’m barely holding it together but nothing can take away how much I love him.

Hey beautiful! You'll be together soon again. Dry those tears and smile because you are both lucky to have each other. Treasure these moments because they are a reminder of how true and powerful your love is. Be happy and blessed. Take care on your way home.

Hey - Thanks you. I’m just super tired and emotional I guess. This bit is always the hardest but once I land I just pull myself together and get on with it!
