Congrats  

@Aviinashh , hello my friend I hope that you have now gotten the answer to your question.  I am sorry that I was not able to help you more - I only know just what I saw on USCIS site.  If for any reason you are unsure about something - please consult a lawyer they will be better able to assist.  I pray and hope that things will be sorted out as soon as possible - be strong and keep pushing forward.

Ya but am confused because in the instructions it says "Signature. Each contract must be properly signed and filed. For all signatures on this contract, USCIS will not accept a stamped or typewritten name in place of a signature. If you are under 14 years of age, your parent or legal guardian may sign the contract on your behalf"

 

She is a legal guardian and has a court document for it and she can sign it but in the instructions it says if you are under 14 years of age....but her nephew is 17 years of age now we dont know if he can sign or my wife should sign

@Aviinashh please try an speak with an immigration lawyer - yes it is quiet confusing.  I was thinking that her nephew is not under 14 years old - but he is still a minor in the eyes of USCIS - as long as she has legal documents saying that she is the guardian - I would like to think that she can sign on his behalf - but what do I know - consult a lawyer on this matter - so that they can better advised you.

Many, many, many days later -- and still no news about anything.

 

Just in case there's somebody else who still hasn't heard back.

I don't think oso because they have asked for only specific documents.

if over 14 the individual should sign. that's what the instructions say.

Hey guys so I contacted my congressman's office last Monday they've been extremely responsive and helpful and today they emailed me and this was what they said:

Ms. Teague,

 

I am pleased to inform you that the Form I-765 application and associated Form I-131 were both approved today, 12/19/2017.  The EAD/Advance Parole combo card has been sent for production.  Once the card has been produced, it will be sent by secure mail to the address of record.  I hope this resolves your inquiry.  Will you please let me know when you receive the card?

 

I am still in disbelief y'all I'm scared to start jumping for joy so I'll call them tomorrow just to see if I can hear this info myself my case online is still showing as received. @Aviinashh I'm in disbelief that they'd give you an RFIE after waiting so many months I've included you and all other August filers still waiting for EAD in my prayers when I can I wish i could address your questions but affidavit of support isn't my strongest point just Google and try to narrow your search or tailor it as much as possible to your situation and hopefully you'll come across results that'll work for you that's what works for me

Make sure you ask to get a tracking number and talk to tier 2...I got my approval notice yesterday and when I call the recording and first line of people don't see my approval. The lady was telling me to wait 60 days, and if I didn't receive the card within that time to call back, because she couldn't see the card being produced. I reminded her she also couldn't see my approval and I still was approved so I would like to talk to a tier 2 to double check and inquire about a tracking number, she was speechless for a minute and then apologized for not being able to help me and that she was going to transfer me but there was quite a wait...I got a call back within 2h and my tracking number.

WOW So many great news....congratulations everyone and specially @Texasfiler and @JackUrban

Hey guys...thanks for all the messages you guys have sent me. I appreciate it a lottttt. I don't think I will receive my EAD any sooner because I've received a RFIE and am working on it. I hope you guys can help me out with some answers to a few questions. I"ll tell you what happened...i"ll try to keep it short

 

My wife receives SSD benefits (so that's her only income) and she's also a representative payee for her nephew whom she has a custody and so his SS also comes to her. During my K1 visa interview where we have to provide I-134 Affidavit of Support she did send in her SSA-1099, her nephew's SSA-1099 and she also sent in my father-in-law's SSA-1099 ...BUT she did not manually total up all three incomes on I-134...she only added her SS and her nephew's SS which was about $29000 and she wrote the same on """3. My Total Annual Income is- $29,000"""and on I-134 they did not ask how many household members etc.... If she had added my father-in-law's SS as well then it would have been $40,000 +..Anyways...my K-1 was approved and here I am in the US...

 

Right now we have sent in all 3  SSA-1099s statements with AOS and now the total household income is $40,000+..Now my question is

1. When they accepted her SS and her nephew's SS combined annual income for I-134, will they accept the same now as well for I-864?

2. The nephew am talking about is 17 years of age and so he cant sign I-864A..what do I do? (they requested for his I-864A in RFIE)

 

One mistake what we have done is, for I-134 she directly said her total income is $29,000 and sent the SSA-1099's and got approved but now she has individually mentioned incomes as seperate as they asked for household income..so in her income she put $XXXX, nephew's income as $XXXXXX and father-in-law's income as $XXXXXX and we already sent in father-inlaw's I-864A but didnt send in the nephew's I-864A as we thought it comes under her income as she's a representative payee...

 

On the instructions page this is what I saw..

"Signature. Each contract must be properly signed and filed. For all signatures on this contract, USCIS will not accept a stamped or typewritten name in place of a signature. If you are under 14 years of age, your parent or legal guardian may sign the contract on your behalf. A legal guardian may also sign for a mentally incompetent person.

If you are under guardianship, your legal guardian may print your name and sign Form I-864 for you. “Legal guardian” includes any person who is appointed and authorized by law to protect your estate as a result of your incapacity. The legal guardian must present proof of the appointment as legal guardian of your estate and a copy of an order from the appointing court or agency specifically permitting the guardian to make your income and assets available for the support of the sponsored immigrant."

 

 

Hey Aviinashh, honestly, I really don't know what to say. This is just sad and sad. It's unbelievable that these people withheld your file for so long, only to come around and demand for more information. This is what I'd say to you: 

Before you send any document, it wont be a bad idea to let an immigration expert take a second look at what you have. Sometimes, there are over-zealous USCIS officers who like to delay people for frivolous reasons. They could have at least sent your employment authorization to start with.

But I believe that everything is working together for your good. Every disadvantage will turn to a bigger advantage for you. 

Just know that we share your feelings and concerns. All will be well in the end.

Oh my god, I’m so late to this, it’s been a bit busy lately but I love coming here to check on the news and to see how is everybody doing. I’m so happy to read about so many great news that came along to some of the filers!!! Reading about successful interviews and scheduling of interviews is really motivating and I’m so glad this phase of the process is completed already to some people! God bless you all!

Thank you very much for all the support

::sigh:: still nothing from USCIS other than a generic message that a decision on the expedite will be made “shortly”....it’s already been about 3 weeks. But apparently they have 30 days to decide on expedite, even though they tell you they’ll take just 5 days. They gave the same response to the congressman too. So there’s really nothing we can do but wait. It’s so disheartenening.  No EAD, no interview, nothing. I wish we could understand what was going on. Just to know where it is in the process, are they doing extended background checks, is it waiting in a line to be looked at, what’s actually happening? 

 

We we were hoping to get the EAD before we moved (still in same city) but hopefully we don’t have any delays in getting the mail to the new address. 

 

BUT we are trying our hardest to stay positive. Excited about being able to enjoy the holidays in our new place. And looking forward to all of the good news that the New Year will bring!
