The new fees...

[featherB 1]

Certainly not. But read his post again.

He implies VJ does.

will you have your marriage certificate then? Because you will need to send a copy of it with i130.

More like I-485, NOT I-130, they are adjusting status from K-1, not filing for a CR-1/IR-1 visa.

But yes a copy of marriage Certificate needs to be in the AOS package, and well as vaccination supplement from a civil surgeon.

I have seen some recommendations to "forget" to include things that are ready by the time of the deadline, and then supply the "missing/forgotton" document when a RFE is generated for the "missing/forgotten" document.

Since when does VJ advocate leaving things out of the original package????

I am not sure I got that from his post, but I suppose if you wanted to you could make that leap....

The 'leap' I made when I read it (and this is of course just my interpretation, I'm not attempting to 'translate' what he was saying!) was to read it as "I'm not saying this is what I'd do personally, but some people have suggested...."

Well lal_brandow did as well, hence her comment.

Isn't one of the jobs of mods to correct wrong information? Yodrak?

EXACTLY. Doesn't that imply some (people = VJERs) have suggested it....???

VJ'ers maybe.. VJ NO... unless of course by merely being a memeber here we are automatically an agent of VJ.

I "eeeked" because I can't imagine people suggesting this, however I don't believe Yu&Dan was necessarily advocating this when he stated it. If he was, I would "eeeek" again .

Mods do not correct bad information unless we stumble upon it as a "member". Make sense?

But weren't you replying as a member? When does one hat go on & another come off?

Why isn't anyone saying this is incorrect info? Or a bad recommendation? We don't normally let bad info fly on VJ?

[LaL 418]

I guess what I am trying to say is Mods do not do quality control, that is up to VJ as a whole.

**member hat** I do believe advocating leaving out necessary documentation just to fly in prior to the fee hike is a terrible suggestion.

[Yodrak 7]

devilette,

He implies nothing about VJ.

I have seen the same recommendation, by the way. Given by an experienced and notable US immigration attorney. Not on VJ.

Yodrak

Certainly not. But read his post again.

devilette,

Since when is YuAndDan VJ's spokesperson?

You're not appointing them, are you?

The world of immigration is many orders of magnitude larger than VJ.

of course it is, I never said differently.

I give up Yodrak. You win. Every time.

Great. So why not start recommending incomplete packages on VJ then?

That's also the interpretation I took from YuandDan's statement.

I think what I would be more concerned about is the potential backlash in making such a recommendation - "You're a mod! You said I could do this!" - but really, that can apply to any statement made by anyone in this forum to anybody.

Personally, I think leaving out evidence just to make the price hike cutoff sounds like a recipe for disaster.

We're getting married on 7/23 and planning to file for the next step - EAD/AP/AOS - the next day.

If the new fees start on 7/31, do you guys think that we'll be okay?

Please check and see how long it will take to get a copy of Marriage Cert. Most places it will take 10-14 days, That why we got married yesterday, 11 plus 14 is the 25th (we also cutting it close) , I'm also needing other doc. as well but Good Luck with your Papers!!

[TracyTN 237]

I agree about checking - but my county clerk said I could have the certified marriage certificate on the same day we get married. So it won't necessarily take 10 - 14 days.

[HannahP 119]

Murr.

The clerk says that it usually takes 1-2 days *after* the justice returns the original to the courthouse.

We're getting married *at* the courthouse, although at 4:45 which is right before it closes. Hopefully we will be able to impress upon him the necessity of getting things done as quickly as possible. If not, I'm am not above taking some of the...contentious advice given earlier in my thread. (Although it's kind of a balancing game -- massive increase in filing fees versus a RFE which may hold up our EAD?)

Looked through the guide and it says that there should be an I-693(a) for the vaccine supplement, but I can't seem to find it on the uscis site? Do I need to get this through the civil surgeon? How does the vaccine check work -- will he draw titers, check the boy's vaccine history that he submited with the medical back in Canada...?
