Hello Everyone,

The stressful journey is over eventually. yesterday I and my wife got approval email. it nearly 27 months.Rfe(Got married after 485 appiled) issued on august 5th 2004 ..but it never reached because of wrong address..we called three months for requesting Nebraska about non-delivery RFE ...I contacted Senator and she helped us and updated our address to the correct address. Eventually my wife received her RFE on December 3rd regarding her F1 Status. We sent Degree certificate, transcripts, lease copy, utility bills and other stuff. We received RFE for both of us on December 30th. Employment Verification, G-28 form and for my wife about her F1 status and reason for staying in california(her school is in Texas). We sent letter from designated school official that she graduated from university and living with me. after so many frustating phases the approval mail came yesterday at 9.45PM. it's a great relief than happiness or excitement.Thanks for all of you. I visited every day this site though I am not very active member. I hope all of you get approval very soon.

Hai Zipper,
They requested information that we are not married to evade immigration laws and she entered USA with valid Visa and maintained F1 status till she applied AOS status. So we sent
1)Lease Copy.
2)w2 Forms.
3) Bank Statement(Joint Account).
4) Utility Bills.
5) Credit card Statements.
6) Degree Certificate.
7) Official Transcript.
8) I 20 (University)
9) Designated School Official Letter.

I hope this information will help you.

thanks,
Nag
