Try Pension Natividad on del Pilar street in Malate. Its simple, clean, and very friendly staff. Accommodation for 1,200 with aircon and pvt bath. They also have fan rooms, with shared bathrooms, dormitory, etc. It's close to Robinsons and peace corps volunteers are always around if you need info on places to travel.

Thanks everyone. I do believe she is approved. BUT.... I won't confirm it until she has the visa in hand! :)

PhilippinesVisa approved or not?
My fiance' had her interview yesterday, received a pnk slip, paid the visa delivery fees but is unsure that she was approved. Does anyone know how to confirm approval or denial?

I have heard that regardless of approval or denial, pink slips are still issued.

Thanks for the insight and I apologize for any redundancy.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionMY HUSBAND REFUSE TO SIGN THE I751

Right now it isn't about you, your husband or a green card. It is about those twins. You need to do what is best for your the two of them. This may mean haveing their father arrested. They will forget the one event and not repeated beatings of their mother.


:thumbs:

The Green Card is the last of your issues. Focus on the most important first.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 Denied/I130-denied ..... fraud waiver next?
You should discuss this with a good Immigration Lawyer.

The Fraud waiver? I 601? is not applicable in this case.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionLeaving the US with a 2 Year GC
It makes no difference, either way she would be abandoning her PR status and would need a Visitor Visa to visit or an immigrant visa to immigrate.

There are a couple of exceptions which would depend on your job.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionHELP! My wife stuck in Brazil airport (TAM/Rio) with an extension letter (non-original)

That's helpful. Can you explain the distinction?

http://brazil.usemba...ion-letter.html

At the top it says "Expired conditional green card" and that seems to be the case that applies here.

A green card is evidence of status, not the status itself.

The letter (original) extends the Card status, so we are not dealing with an expired Green Card.

None of this matters of course if you are dealing with Airlines and Consulates staff who do not know or care.

This does seem to be a Rio issue. No idea why.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionWorking Abroad prior to ROC

Yeppers,

The extension letter is the letter you receive after you send out your I-751 package. Basically that letter replaces your 2 year GC since it is already expired. There is no travel restrictions with that letter and honestly I never heard that you can only spend 5 months 1 day outside of the US. As long as your total trip time does not exceed 6 months, you should be fine.

You could be fine.

It depends.

It would be the same as any other LPR.

Travelling on AP is different, there seems to be no specific time limits.

To remove conditions by herself she will need to get a divorce.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionGood Faith / Bona Fide

 

 

Now for the questions:

 

1) Is it possible (I assume it is) that at some point we will just get a letter saying "Your 10-year green card is approved, please come pick it up?"  If so, when is that likely, given that we filed in early October?

2) Is it possible that we will get a Request For Evidence?  If so, when would we be likely to get that?

3) Given that we didn't provide much evidence, just excuses, is it more likely we will get an RFE?

4) Given that at the first possible moment we could have had joint bank accounts and property we didn't, is it likely USCIS will deny the petition if I haven't withdrawn it first?

1. Yes

 

2. Possible, depends on when you case is reviewed.

 

3. I had an interview but did not have joint property/lease. Was not an issue.

 

4. No, well it was not an issue for me.


BoilerMaleWales2014-01-25 16:57:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionGood Faith / Bona Fide

"End of Issue" - what do you mean?  What will happen?

 

I made another call to USCIS today.  They gave me different information.  They said that if a divorce is pending and I withdraw the joint I-751, they would give her a continuance to file an individual I-751.

 

So based on the information I have now, the most likely scenario seems to be to allow the joint petition to proceed but to inform USCIS of the circumstances to ensure that they conduct an interview.

There is not basis for a joint petition, for you to continue on that basis would be fraud, do you want to be charged with fraud?

 

It is the end of your involvement in the process.

 

USCIS did not give you different information, what she subsequently does or does not is her business not yours.

Write to them quoting the file number etc, say you are not longer living together as a married couple, end of issue.

You can not withdraw your Sponsorship. Read the I 864 you voluntarily signed.

 

You may wish to talk to a divorce lawyer about what you consider your rights.

If they have not cashed your cheque in 90 days then I would be pretty certain they do not have it.

LPR means you are resident in the US and visit elsewhere.

 

The question seems to be that you are not but how long can you get away with it. And what you have to do to lengthen that time.

 

There is no clear answer to that.
