Legal Alien

Hey another Dutchie! Where are you from in The Netherlands? I didn't see that either so I didn't bring the tax transcripts either, I send the complete tax returns. The lady did say I was a bit 'overprepared' at my interview. I don't know if they would overlook or not. It's not the official support form, you file that with your AOS. So they might. But you have it so no worries at all. Good luck! It is way less scary than you are thinking right now, believe me! You need to go to Frankfurt now, don't you?

No you don't need a stamped approved I-129F. I brought my own copy of the petition, but they didn't even look at it. The stamped approved I-129F is with the embassy/consulate. You will get that in the sealed envelope after you are approved. That sealed envelope stays sealed and you give that to the officer at the POE, who checks it and sends it to USCIS, who then has your stamped, approved I-129F. So you will get it, you just don't get to SEE it. As far as I am aware you should never have it yourself besides in that visa package. It goes from USCIS to (I think, but maybe someone can correct me) the NVC, then to your embassy, then to your consulate, then in the sealed package which you give to the CBP officer at the POE, who then sends it back to USCIS.

I attached a pdf which says: So looks like either the medical exam showed you have a medical condition that needs a follow-up. Were you given any type of medication? Maybe that PDF has more information, I only did a quick search. The big sealed envelope should hold the answer, but DO NOT open that and give that to the officer at the POE, even when he doesn't ask for it (which in this case seems highly unlikely but you never know). cdc_53440_DS1.pdf

And unfortunately Biden sold the rest for pennies on the dollar....

Looks like LaLaLand, Commifornia brainwashed you well!! If you want a longer list than what has already been given to you, you might wanna check it day by day here: https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/people/president/donald-j-trump Starts at about page 25. But let's flip the coin here. Why don't you tell us what Trump did wrong and what Biden did well, or which policies Harris has that will make the country better?

And that is just the tip of the iceberg! People are so incredibly brainwashed when it comes to Trump, it's insane! I love those videos where content creators hit the streets and give people 'so-called Trump quotes' and they get all bent out of shape before it's made known it was indeed the demonrat they supported who said it. Or vice versa.

HAHAHAHAHA you gotta love The Babylon Bee.

I was thinking exactly the same reading that!

Right in the middle of the Mitten! Not much Dutch people here on the forum. Not sure if there is not a lot of us moving to the US or because the process sems pretty smooth for us / we don't think we need any help. People told me it would be 'such an adjustment' but to be fair so far for me I don't feel that way, how was that for you?

Former US Special Agent drops BOMBSHELL about DHS and border crisis https://rumble.com/v5dxlwd-former-us-special-agent-drops-a-bombshell-about-dhs-and-border-crisis.html

Ahhhhhh no I don't have that. Thanks for the explanation.

What is an IOE and how do I get an access code?

I have an online account but I don't see how to upload.

🤣 Please do! If I can do that I'd rather do so instead if waiting for an RFE! Where would I send that and what do I need to include?

Ahh well that explains it. Well I'll probably get one but I hope they will skip anyway. I am fairly sure everything else is in order and complete so who knows.

Just curious, why would you say 100% sure it will be an RFE? I know everyone gets biometrics and obviously I didn't check hundreds of timelines, but the ones I did check had RFE's listed before biometrics were taken, which is why my question.

LOL no I know, absolutely not the end of the world and I have the right filled out page already ready to send in in case I do get an RFE. I guess I'll just wait and see what happens. Thanks.

I have been looking at some timelines and I noticed that most RFE's are received before the biometrics appointment. Is this true or did I just only see those? I'm asking because I checked one wrong box (8.61 public charge question) and I am wondering if they would even send an RFE if that is the only thing wrong with my filed documentation. Apparently I am by default subject to it and I already provided the additional info they ask there in the package like household size and income. Anyone heard about this particular oops in the form and RFE or not? I saw one topic on it, but the OP had a list of things in the RFE so I can see where they would include that part than too. Maybe someone has an educated opinion on this?

I used it with my birth certificate, no translation was asked for. In fact, it actually said on the list of documents I had to bring that I needed the international copy of my birth certificate. You could translate but seems redundant because all you would be doing is put the English words on the EU document on a separate piece of paper.

Unless they find out some new information that would make him inadmissible, you're probably good. I was worried as well, the officer seemed to have said to me that all was good and should be approved as soon as my medical got in, but it wasn't a straight approval with me either and the week where it said my visa was 'refused' before it changed to administrative processing and then approved, was uncomfortable to say the least. I also waited with celebrating (and quitting my job and canceling my lease and such) until I had the visa in hand. For me that took 2 weeks as my medical was still on its way, for you that may be shorter. I wouldn't worry about it, although I know I can say that but you still will because I went to this forum for the same answer and was still stressed out until approved and even until delivery of the physical passport with visa. Keep us updated!

I agree with @TBoneTX. You need to get your head out of your behind and start doing something. I am surprised by some comments here from people who think they can psychologically analyze your husband and judge his behavior while we only have one side of the story. Your posts show me that at least you, and possibly also your husband, have some growing up to do. My opinion is based on experience and is not meant to trash anyone but I am Dutch and we tend to be quite blunt. I have done this immigration thing both ways. I am now in the USA having filed my AOS but my husband moved to The Netherlands first well over a decade ago, so I have experience on both sides as I have been both petitioner and beneficiary. When my husband moved to The Netherlands it was because I wanted it, not because he wanted to leave the USA. It was all about me me me back then because I had a horse, I had my family, I had my friends, I had an apartment so you could say I almost forced him to leave HIS stuff behind and move there and since I didn't even have a stable job back then, we had to get him there on an entrepreneur permit which meant he better grow a thriving business because he would not be allowed to work on that permit, nor could he get any type of benefits if needed. My husband is a very kind hearted man who loves me very much, so he never blamed me for anything and we never had any significant fights over it, but he would have been absolutely right if he had! And we weren't even married yet so all he had to do was get on a plane to fly home. But he stayed for 9+ years even though he was miserable. The work he wanted to do and was qualified for was no option to do self-employed as it would need a big financial investment and I couldn't afford that and we didn't want to spend his savings because we were already talking about moving to the USA one day back then. As a man he was unable to be the main provider and he felt emasculated. I was your age then, but we differ in that I was constantly busy with taking action to make things better. I took jobs way below my level and took extra cleaning jobs to make sure I could feed us and pay our bills and stay in our apartment so I didn't have to also drag him to my parents. As sweet as they both are, that is not what I promised him and would never have done to him. Never once did I talk to my then boyfriend disrespectfully when he had days where he felt more miserable than others because after all, it was ME who brought him there and I was the one responsible. Did we have fights? Yes, but they were rare and it always ended with me saying sorry because I knew I was the cause. It took me 5-6 years to finally get financially stable and comfortable and get him on a new permit that would allow him to work, but by then we also decided that we would move to the USA and the business we set up for his first permit was actually generating some work and income. It was HARD. But life is hard, you need to learn how to deal with situations where it doesn't go as you had envisioned. If that is not something you're ready for and can undergo together, then you shouldn't have married. But you did and even though divorce certificates are being given out as candy, you shouldn't want that. You chose each other, now work for it. When I read your post and replies I just roll my eyes and blame it on the times and realize I am an old-fashioned, conservative old hag who wishes she could go back to the 80's. Like I said, we were in a terrible situation for 5-6 years and didn't even need a divorce to get away from each other, but our situation didn't cause my man to whine at me or me to go on a message board to trash my man and definitely after only a couple months! OMG how are you going to handle being married for 50 years? In good times and in bad times, sickness and in health, that includes this situation. But marriage is not worth much for many these days. The time that you spent on here trying to get people to side with you so you can get confirmation that your complaints are valid and it's all his fault, you could have worked at your second job (if you have a first) so you could afford a somewhat better place until you guys get comfortable enough to get a nice place. As long as he can't work, that IS your responsibility. The 'I didn't live in the US for a long time' excuse is invalid, YOU are the USC and YOU need to have your ^%&* in order. Your husband is miserable because the USA and the way you guys are living is not what he expected from it. I wonder if he set his expectations too high or if you did. I have a feeling it's the latter. I can't be the only one wanting to hear the other side of the story.

What a lot of pictures! I sent in 1, maybe 2 max with the I-129F. We did also provide evidence that we had been living together in The Netherlands for nearly a decade so I guess that helps. I also do not see an issue with that picture. I would be surprised if the officer would see an issue.

Oh that is good to hear. Hopefully it will soon update to that!

I had my biometrics yesterday, but it didn't change to 'case being reviewed' like it says for some on here, for me it says 'September 4, 2024 Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken' I'm confused now.

Well I said that years ago when people thought 'rona was over and claimed something like that would never happen again. I laughed out loud and said 'wait until 2024'. They used to have the BLM stuff every election year but that kinda blew up in their faces and apparently a pandemic is very useful to steal an election, so that's what they will use again and again to get what they want. They won't succeed though.
