    DV 2015 AOS Only

    I'm pretty sure the main point of tax returns and W2's are to provide proof of income. So at the end of the day, all that matters is that the officer is convinced you do indeed make what you say you make. Each additional piece of documentation strengthens your case, but it doesn't mean that you...

    Nope - you're way, way, above the poverty guidelines, as listed here: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864p.pdf You just need to provide proof you're earning that much.

    Another quick question for y'all - I'm getting less and less confident in my attorney's knowledge of the DV process (they failed to tell me that I had to include financial information in the I-485 packet, they didn't include the DV fee receipt in my I-485 packet, etc...) In particular, the...

    My understanding is that it doesn't even need to be a certified translator - it's enough to get someone to translate it, and then annotate the translation with a statement that they are fluent and proficient in both English and the Nepali language. Mom can correct me if I'm wrong, but if that's...

    Oh, interesting. There were a few I saw mentioning an update after an RFE (perhaps they were on another forum though), and then there's this one earlier on this thread, that says the status was updated to "your case is undergoing required review"...

    Thanks all for the responses. My lawyer dropped off an inquiry this morning at USCIS, I'll let you all know how it goes. Another random question - does anyone know what explains inconsistencies in the online case status system? I've seen some people on here say that the system updates for them...

    I heard from my lawyer today (unprompted by me). He said he'd be "dropping off an inquiry at USCIS with regards to your application tomorrow. We will request that the application be adjudicated as soon as possible." [As a reminder, I had my interview a month ago, and submitted an RFE three...

    You're an angel, Mom - thanks so much for the help! Will keep everyone updated, of course, and I'll post a full account of my experience when it's all done... [FYI: my I-485 has all my names, but my biographical information form has the "truncated name" as "other names I go by". That's what my...

    For what it's worth, I had a very similar experience - no financial questions asked - but then I got an RFE a week later asking me to submit proof of employment or future employment... Hope that's not the case with you because it's such a letdown, but just letting you know not to worry if it...

    This post and attached google docs are a GODSEND! Thanks so much for these! I wish I'd found them before hiring a lawyer :) Three quick questions if anyone can help: (1) I had an AOS interview about three weeks ago. I received an RFE one week later, and my lawyer submitted the documents in...
