Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionPARTY ON!!!!
Dear Visajourney,

I love you all! This forum offered so much support, information and facts throughout the process of my visa application with the consulate in Frankfurt as well as with the removal of conditions process two years later here in the U.S.

Just as Wikipedia became a source of information for many people around the world I feel Visajourney is THE source for us, the poor individuals caught in the processes and laws concerning immigrants here in the United States.

As of today my journey is over. At least for a while. I got the approval notice concerning my ROC! (dated 04-20-10, received today).

As some maybe know, I filed under the good faith waiver and submitted a ton of papers (@the guy of VSC reading my file: sorry pal...). No RFE. No Interview. Just a good old plain approval.

I am so happy as today is Christmas, my Birthday and whatever-good-other-celebration-day-is-out-there at once.

AGAIN: THANK YOU ALL!!!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionWhat shall I do with old GC?
Hi all,

Received my new GC in the mail. Due to me not having an interview or something I still have my old but expired GC. As this is a federal document I am not sure what to do with it?

Shall I just cut it and throw it in the trash? Do I need to send it in? Or keep it as a piece of memory?

I just want to make sure I adhere to any official procedure out there.

Cheers,
Oban

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionRemoving Residency condition after divorce

Hi Guys,

My wife and I, after long talks and seeking a marriage counselor are getting the divorce.
I have would to ask three question:
I heard that if a divorce occurs, the residency condition can still be removed(!?), does anyone knows if the law puts any requirement on how long the marriage needs to have subsisted in order to be eligible to apply for the waiver ?
We have a Child together do I need to mention that in my application ? would it that be ok ?
Could anyone tell me what sort of proof is required to show that the marriage has been entered in good faith ?

Thanks a lot for your inputs



Just went through the same and got conditions successfully removed. To answer your questions:

"I heard that if a divorce occurs, the residency condition can still be removed(!?), does anyone knows if the law puts any requirement on how long the marriage needs to have subsisted in order to be eligible to apply for the waiver ?"

You are correct. You are eligable to get your conditions removed. There is no specific time requirement concerning how long you have to be married in case of a divorce. Let me put is this way: if you get divorced after 1.9 years, meaning close to the actual 2 year deadline, it looks somewhat more like a real marriage than getting a divorce one week after entering the US. Having said that, this statement of course is only taking into account the time aspect. If you have of course tons or documents as proof the time aspect is not as important. Every case including evidence is somewhat unique.


"We have a Child together do I need to mention that in my application ? would it that be ok ?"

Having a child together is great proof / evidence in your situation. The birth certificate should certainly be included in your evidence. Nevertheless, you only need to mention the child as evidence and not for application purposes as the child is a US citizen and therefore has not green card and or relevance for the proceedings (unless used as evidence as aforementioned).

"Could anyone tell me what sort of proof is required to show that the marriage has been entered in good faith ?"

Any documentation showing somehow and somewhat that you maintained a real marriage.

- Insurance Certificates (Car, Life, Property, what not..)
- Birth Certificate of Children
- Car Titles
- Car Loans
- Mortgages / Rental Agreement
- Bank Statements showing joint ownership of bank accounts
- Credit Card Statement
- Health Insurance Documents (Invoices, Claims, etc)
- Flight Tickets from previous trips
- Hotel Booking Confirmations
- Rental Car Receipts, showing your or your spouse as add. driver
- In your case: AFFIDAVIT OF YOUR MARRIAGE COUNSELOR (I did the same!!!)
- Affidavits of friends, etc
- Affidavit from your former spouse (if he/she is willing to do this)
- Copies of Driver Licenses showing same address for both of you
- Family Cell Phone Plan Invoices
- Any other term based financial documentation / agreement
- Official IRS Tax Return Transcripts, etc
- etc etc etc

Send me a Private Msg if you need more info.

Note: I got my conditions removed without request for further evidence or interview. This is great, however unexpected and not the general rule. Nevertheless, if you need help let me know.

Hi all!

As you guys can see I am one of the few who has still no response from VSC. No RFE, no letter, no e-mail, no nothing.

I filed under the good faith waiver, and I am not sure if this has an influence on the processing time. Should I start to worry? Should I take any action?

Regards,
Oban
