Do you overstayed in the USA before ? Or she is doubting your relationship? Are you and your husband have big difference , like age ? Culture? Religion? 

Maybe you should contact your Congress man 

No , I didn’t overstay. Age difference is normal between us, culture/ religion are the same .

 

though we did contact congressman , will see how it goes

Hey Everyone! Any filers from Northern Virginia/ DC area here? 

[asaeljethro 162]

Received an RFE for the joint sponsor's income tax return on June 9th. Long story short, the joint sponsor was complicated, so I used my mom instead. and we barely sent off the documents for our RFE today.

 

We totally lost 2 months of waiting time  but anyway, hope were back in the waiting pool.

Why did it take two months to get to you? What was the postmark on the envelope?

June 5: RFE Printed

 

June 9: RFE received in the mail. Stated they needed the joint sponsors recent tax returns although I supplied the extension letter from the IRS from the joint sponsor. The original joint sponsor kept lagging it, making promises to do them and then not following through. And wasted over a month, So I used my mom instead and it took about 2 weeks to retrieve the supporting documents. 

 

August 10: sent RFE and supporting documents in the mail

Hey there! Glad to see someone local. Seems we are few and far between on VJ. Lol. Even though the Potomac office seems to stay bogged down lol. 

 

We got our biometrics letter Friday. It’s not for another 2 weeks so I’m hoping to do a walk in next week. How was your experience? Did you go to the Alexandria office? 

Thanks and congratulations on the marriage. 😍
