Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / October 2004

We've got my AOS interview coming soon, and we're pondering whether to
use my income to ensure that Jessika's income is over the 125% barrier.
Rete mentioned in another thread that someone recently got an RFE at
their AOS interview (not my office, thankfully) as the interviewer

Well, the AOS interview date is tomorrow.
I have tax returns, letters from home, wedding album, a bunch of pics
taken, all the imigration letters I can find, employment proof....
Only thing is I've been at my job for a week and I work off

Our I-130 was approved on 30 September 2004.  I have already sent my DS-
230 but not the DS2001 (as we are still waiting for the co-sponsor forms
to come back from my in-laws).
I assume that both those forms are what is in packet 3 - will I still

Can anyone offer any help or advice.
My wife and I currently reside in UK, my wife is a US Citizen here on a two

This relates to Mr Udal's post.  This is just the official press
release.  They were brief and to the point as not to scare people (but
also to calm the brewing fire).

My husband and I had our AOS interview back in Sept, we needed to find a
co sponsor and then the AOS would be approved. My husband's Uncle agreed
to help us out, however we were missing 2003 taxes due to a tax
extension (we didnt know about the extension at the time, just thought

Don't know if anyone is still around that remembers us...
My name is Kelly and I married a man from New Zealand, named John.  We
have been together since Nov 2000 and have been thru some emotional
rollercoasters on INS's dime. (sorry, they will always be INS to me!)

does the benificiary need to provide a copy of his/her birth
certificate with the I-129F application?
i thought NO, but the example cover sheet at www.visajourney.com lists
the beneficiary's birth certificate as one of the things included....

This may be awfully premature for us to be considering this but here
goes........
We aren't even sure if this is allowable, what the pros and cons would
be etc......

This is unproductive for most of you, I'm sure, but it helps me
psychologically: Two weeks and no K3 movement at Missouri.
What...is...the...deal?
We're an early April filing date. They're stuck on March 25.

well I did say I would let you all know how it went with the expedited
interview my lawyer managed to swing for me...well here goes!
Our appointment was for 9am this morning...we were worried about the
weather and traffic holding us up on the way so we set off at 5am (it

I am anxiously getting everything together for my Visa interview on 1
November.  In my letter about my interview it mentions that I need to
make copies of all my documents - do they need to be notarized or can
they just be copied?

I'm looking for the answers to 2 questions. When does the time clock for
US Citizenship starts? We've been married since March 2002. And our AOS
case was approved in Apr 2004. My spouse is a USC. So how do I count the
3 years towards my citizenship paperwork?

<====THIS IS LONG====>
First I would like to start by saying I know there are cases out there
who have had a lot of ups and downs due to different circumstances
such as previous divorce, overstays, etc.  I feel for you, I really

A thought occurred to me just now.  My husband is here (after
entering on a K1), and is waiting for his AOS interview which will
probably happen in summer of 2006.  He has EAD and AP in hand.  He's
an Iranian citizen.
