Re: follow up Adjust Status
Dear Mr. Last name:
My name is Eddie Last name. I am an American citizen who married with Thai lady in August 21, 2001 (the Marriage License attached). In January 3, 2002, we filed form I-485, an application to Permanent Residence for my wife (the receipts attached). After that we have been waiting for almost 2 years and finally filed Form G-14 requesting for information on the status of my wife and you were kindly answered us (your letter attached).
A few months ago, we were informed by an American – Thai couple, who married about a year after us.[1] His wife First name Last name, A# 1234567 already had an interviewed and also has conditional green card.[2] We are so skeptical about what went wrong with our case and trying to do our research from the INS website.[3] We found the latest information about Houston TX Processing dates, Posted October 14, 2004 (the paper attached). Please see the highlight for form I-485 and processing time. It will be 3 years in January 2005 that our case have been pending and we feel that we should be able to schedule an appointment for interview long time ago.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best Regards,
Signature
My First name Last name

1. a copy of Marriage License
2. a copy of receipts from ins for I-485
3. a copy of your letter dated Oct. 17, 2003
4. the paper shows District Office Processing Dates for Houston TX Posted October 14, 2004
Notes:
1) A few months ago, we we spoke with another American – Thai couple, who married about a year after us.
Your original sentence doesn't say what you were informed of. In other words, what did you learn?
2) His wife First name Last name, A# 1234567 already had an interview and also has conditional green card.
Just changed "interviewed" to "interview".
3) We are so skeptical about what went wrong with our case and trying to do our research from the INS website.
I am going to change the tone of your sentence here, but I hope that I will achieve the same goal.
We want and need to better understand the process so that we can ensure that our application is processed as soon as possible. We have been trying our best to do our research from the INS website.
4) You're missing a paragraph, I think.
Please advise us as to how we can best move our application forwards. As you can appreciate, we are very eager to begin our lives together here in Houston. To our knowledge, we have followed all the proper steps and protocol. I look forward to receiving your instructions along with an expected timeline of when I can expect to have finalized all the remaining details. You might need to fix this paragraph to reflect your desires. As it stands now, you don't say in your letter what you want. You need to make that abundantly clear.
I hope this helps. Come back if further assistance is wanted.
Good luck.
