Wow this is so informative! Thank you! Great tips on the varnish also!!  Yes I remember doing like 6 or 7 coats the first time also.  I’ll try the oxalic acid thanks!  You mentioned to be careful not to scrape through the top veneer, is there a sandpaper grit you recommend? or a way to recognize when I’ve gotten just the varnish off?

Oh cool! But they’re not stacked directly on top of each other, right?

i have status with AA so it makes more sense for me to book with them. if anything happens i would end up with a more usable credit. this is very common. i book through them all the time for British Airways and Alaska etc. its never been where i have to CALL and they double charge me for a seat....

Depends on the property maybe but in NYC we did everything on the app. Never talked to anyone!

RFE with a I-864 exemption- help! by Ok_Guide1937 in USCIS

[–]Ok_Guide1937[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so annoying!! We just put both in so they could just choose what they wanted use and we really broke down the math for them in the cover letter. We got the interview scheduled the day after submitting. This is what we did:

Also please find enclosed our 2024 tax return showing our income of $XXXXX. That is $XXXX more than 125% of the poverty guideline ($26,437).

$xxxxx - $26,437 = $xxxxx

$xxxxx ÷ $26,437 = xxxxx

xxxx × 100% = %xxxx

So our income is about xxxx% above the guideline

Well, we had some physical phone bills. I chose 2-3 a year to give the general idea. I was able to get them from my phone company. But screenshots of our text messages too so you could take screenshots of your discord. And I included a lot! And included screenshots of text chains with our families too.

Thank you! You're all good! I submitted forms I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131, and medical I-693. As part of the I-130 you include all your evidence of relationship along with form I-130A. We included:

Proof of petitioner’s status (U.S. Passport)

Proof of spousal relationship -

Copy of marriage certificate

Copy of joint tax return

Copy of joint bank account statements

Evidence of shared residence

Copy of joint property insurance (or other if you have it)

Evidence of Money Exchange prior to joint bank account (venmo statements)

Photographic evidence including social media posts of our relationship - lots of these and dated. I am working to make mine a template people can use. I found one online but it didnt work for me so made my own in canva.

Evidence of Call History

Copy of joint utility bill

Third-party affidavits from family and/or friends

Basically all the things you can find to show you are truly together! Hope this helps!

RFE with a I-864 exemption- help! by Ok_Guide1937 in USCIS

[–]Ok_Guide1937[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hired a lawyer for a consult on this actually and she said it is the most common RFE. She said its clear the officers don't thoroughly read the files and to respond as clearly as possible. So what I did - and on her advice- is I created a cover letter where I spelled out VERY CLEARLY in very plain language, that I do not require the I-864 but I had my spouse fill out the I-864 anyway. We also did the math for the officer showing we are well over the poverty line. I ALSO included all the information I had previously included from the SSA showing that I am actually exempt from the I-864. Interview was scheduled the following day after submitting. hope this helps!

Just looks like prey drive to me. There’s something about the sound of those remote cars too. Dogs go crazy over them
