I like your suggestion. Currently have them framed but that's not precisely travel friendly. 😅

Not every letter lists what they actually have and it does not necessarily mean they lost documents. Not all agents take the time to list each and every document. In any case, with an RFE, it is advisable to send everything again and more.

Thanks for sharing! Is the picture the one taken during biometrics appointment and why does it say Sarasoto?

As per the Government of Canada website: "If you can’t find a guarantor You must: ▪︎complete the Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor form ▪︎find someone who can administer an oath to swear to and sign the form •This person doesn’t need to know you personally. •If you’re in Canada, this can be a -notary public -justice of the peace -commissioner for oaths •If you’re outside Canada, this can be a -Canadian or British diplomatic or consular representative -Qualified local official, such as a civil servant or member of Parliament."

It is taking way longer. Everyone with a pending case should receive a new one.

Must be the new 48 month extension letter.

They cannot evaluate how much you love each other. They need facts and evidence that can prove it is a bonafide marriage: shared residence, shared finances, shared plans for the future, shared life. And beyond what USCIS expects, let's be honest: a marriage, particularly a good one, requires way more than just love.

We redacted specific information on some of our financial documents and had no issue.

They expect to see every single piece of your life and they're used to see monthly statements from the couples with joint bank accounts. You can actually conceal whatever information you consider confidential, but it is important to let them know that you both have shared financial responsibilities throughout your marriage.

That's the template they use for every RFE, don't worry. Send EVERYTHING again and more, including whatever you have from the time you filed to this date.

Which airport will you arrive to? And I don't get what you mean when you say she does not speak Spanish and hope she won't have a problem coming here.

Even though the rule you quoted is clear and despite whatever experience someone else could have had, the USCIS is more like a chaotic system where any possible pattern is indiscernible. So if you are a maverick who enjoys intense emotions, permanent uncertainty and diving into the unknown, go for it! File next week.

When did your lawyer file? As many have commented already, it would be better if you cancel the K1, get married and file for a spousal visa. If you keep with the K1 it will be more expensive and unnerving as you will still need to file for adjustment of status and very likely for removal of conditions. As the waiting times are now, if you file for a spousal visa you could get a 10 year green card as soon as you enter the US. It would also be better if your fiance also becomes part of the forum as, I assume, he is fluent in English and would not need the translator - important information can be lost in translation-.

Yeah, it was fine. The decree was not ready and you informed timely. Hopefully you'll get that interview scheduled soon.

Some people wait until the actual interview to bring the divorce decree and ask for the waiver. No reason to panic.

Yes, they do have to apply for a visa. I-485 is indeed for adjustment of status, but that DOES NOT apply in your case. For siblings, as @Boiler advised, you need to check the visa bulletin. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2023/visa-bulletin-for-march-2023.html Currently they're processing visa petitions for cases from March 2007.

So you already requested for the divorce waiver and sent the divorce decree, right?

You must be confusing applying for adjustment of status - which they won't need- with applying for a visa - which they will actually go through-. You file the I-130 and once it is approved, they will go through the process of applying for the visa which will require them scheduling an appointment and being interviewed at the embassy.

Did you start divorce proceedings after filing for removal of conditions?

It is not quicker, it is not convenient - as you won't be able to travel or work once you arrive- and if your case is easy (no criminal records, denied entries, deportations, etc.) you do not need a lawyer.

I'm truly sorry got father is still waiting. It won't hurt if you contact your congressperson.

What @Crazy Cat suggests is you getting married and then apply for a spousal visa instead of a K1.

From what I've seen around the forum there is no pattern. Many updates are just glitches and do not mean someone is reviewing the case. Unfortunately AP is a very uncertain status where some have been stuck for years. Hope that is not your father's case.

Feels good to see someone who was interviewed for AOS and will be interviewed for ROC; thought we were the only ones - though we don't have an interview scheduled yet-. Please share how it went once you're interviewed and GOOD LUCK!
