Nothing to worry about; possibly some internal massaging of your case and many others. Keep the faith. Edited to add: Happy 6-year anniversary on VJ!

And how exactly would those safeguards be implemented? A nutcase will find ways around them.

Yep, but she looks 13 or similarly underage.

Thread is shifted from the US Citizenship main forum to the Case Progress subforum. Yep -- it's happening to lots of folks here and is nothing to worry about. Good things will happen soon.

Take 'em any way you can get 'em. Hadn't considered that, but very true.

More of a wiener than a snake, evidence suggests.

She looks 13 years old. Good grief.

Be thankful for little crumbs of happiness. Pulling for good news soon.

Joint taxes and same health insurance are strong. Receipts and photos are lesser evidence, but include what you have. Go through everything that you can get your hands on, physically and digitally. Take every piece of evidence physically coming in that indicates your shared life together (even some junk mail), and throw it into a box. Do the same thing digitally in a computer folder. You might surprise yourself with the amount of evidence to support the filing. Notarized affidavits from people who know you are for when other evidence is weak; they don't need to say much except how they know you and for how long, and that they've observed and are attesting to your continuous marriage. Omit details about problems. Each affiant should list complete contact information and their relationship to you. Statements from prominent people in the community (officials, pastors, et al.) carry good weight. For most couples, I recommend shopping for a lawyer who can draft wills, medical & financial powers of attorney, and similar estate documents at reasonable cost. These are superlative support for the I-751, and they're even more crucial to have in "life." If you've had relationship trouble: At minimum you should have medical powers of attorney and HIPAA releases, naming each other; these should be safe to have should your relationship crater otherwise. Look on your state's website to see if state-compatible templates exist for you each to fill in and print out; if not, shop for a lawyer. From observation, I do not recommend "doing it yourself" otherwise from random "legal" sites on the Internet. With the above in mind, let us know how you choose to proceed, and keep us informed otherwise.

Geez, Honey -- he was going to do all the work anyway, so you could continue sitting on the couch in your bunny slippers eating bonbons. Good grief.

Oh, gawd.

Wednesday! Time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ============================== MONASTIC LIVING A man entered a monastery to commit to that religious life. The abbot consented, on the condition that the new monk could speak only two words every three years. At the end of the first three years, the abbot asked if the monk had anything to say. The monk said, "Food cold." After the second three years, the abbot asked again. The monk said, "Bed hard." After the third three-year period, the abbot asked again. The monk said, "Want out." "That's no surprise at all," said the abbot. "You've done nothing but complain ever since you got here!"

At least NC seems to be taking corrective action... but the implications for other states are equal or worse. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ North Carolina Elections Board Finds 34,000 Deceased People on Voter Rolls The North Carolina State Board of Elections has identified over 30,000 dead people's names on their voter rolls in the latest illustration of exactly why Republicans are right to push election integrity reforms. Justice Department Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon highlighted the exposure of the 34,000 deceased voters' names. She has been leading the federal charge on trying to pressure states into investigating and cleaning their voter rolls, and is currently fighting dozens of leftist states in court for their data. The new North Carolina data is just one more vindication of the Trump administration's argument that our elections are ripe for fraud and states should be taking action to prevent it.
