USCIS Service CentersReturning your Green Card because of USCIS error. Form i90

Allright. Just came back from infopass. IO was good and she gave me some info. 

Apparently, 2300 Green cards were erroneously issued with the wrong expiry date(Was even given 20yrs validity). But my wife's green card did not come under that bat

ch where the date of expiry is wrong and at the same time category should not be F21 but CF or something like that (Because its a conditional Green card)

I filled out the I-90 at home and took the supporting docs but she told me to wait until i heard back from TSC. She filed a Service request to TSC right then and there and gave me a Referral number and told us to wait till June 19th to hear back from TSC. If i don't hear back from them on what needs to be done by June 19th(IO thinks mostly i have to file I-90 and send it across) i need to call USCIS and escalate it to Level 2. 

IO thinks this error comes from a particular batch only off late and creating the service request and letting them know will fix the issue once for all on their side. 

So for now all i have to do is wait till June 19th for a response from TSC and go from there. I have everything ready and once TSC responds i will send them I90 if that is what is required. 







IO told me that i did the right thing and if i had done nothing it would create problems if i did not file removal of conditions after 2yrs and would have put my wife's status in jeopardy.

 

True.   :thumbs:

thanks apple21. my interview was on march 6, 2014 (visa issued the same day) and he was sworn in as a citizen on march 28, 2014. my poe was april 5, 2014. I called the uscis number. she told me to schedule an appointment with the local uscis office to inquire. Am still confused.

 

Making an infopass is great idea too.

I got a 10 year green card under F21 category. (My marriage date is 29th December 2011 and POE is 5th April 2014). So its more than 2 years. However, my husband became a citizen after my interview and before my POE. Should my category change or should it be F21 only since we never upgraded our petition?

 

I think your GC is fine as it is because the visa was issued before your hubby became USC.

Update:

 

I called USCIS today (June 2) because I haven't received any text/email/snail mail from them regarding the i90.  Operator told me it could take 30 days for them to issue and send the receipt notice.  I should call again on June 16 if there's no response yet by that time.

USCIS Service CentersReturning your Green Card because of USCIS error. Form i90

That's really intresting I have never heard about this law before. I though I'll get 10 year GC.

 

At the time of my F2A interview we were married for 26 months. So what kind of GC should I need to get ?

 

2 year conditional or 10 years without conditional

 

Its determined by the number of years married at the time of POE (your first entry to the US).

 

If you entered the US using your F2A visa and you are already married 2 years or more, you'll get a 10-yr GC.

 

If you entered the US using your F2A visa and you are LESS than 2 years married, you'll get a 2-yr conditional GC.

 

This also applies to spouses of US citizens.

Why would you return your 10 year green card to get a 2 year green card? Have you been married for less than 2 years?

 

Yes we were less than 2 years married upon POE.

How long did you take to receive your NOA

 

I just mailed mine yesterday.

 

A friend of mine is in the same situation as I am.  Her i90 package was delivered to USCIS on April 21, 2014.  Her NOA1 was issued April 25.  Then May 1 she was given biometrics schedule.  May 22 is the biometrics date.

Hi there!

 

I sent my i90 package yesterday because USCIS made an error on my GC.  They sent me a 10-year GC instead of the 2-year conditional GC.

 

Hope we can share timelines on how long before we receive our new GC.  :)

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Fiance visa denied

I appreciate all of the response so far. Okay let me try to add some history here so maybe I can get some suggestions and some help rather than just criticisms. We met 6 months ago and we talk almost everyday morning noon and night. She has a married sister living in the US for the past 3 years who I also talk with on a regular basis. Also spoke to her husband who met the entire family. The both assure me she is a good girl and comes from a good family. The subject never came up until recently when we began getting real serious with each other. She told me about being denied a fiance visa on Dec 14, 2011 with another man. She emailed me the documents showing the reason for denial and when I saw that I was shocked. She is also very upset to be considered a prostitute when she has never been involved in that kind of work and has not worked in any bars. She works in an internet cafe. She is from Samar but now living in Angeles City. I think the interviewer already believes she is working in a bar just because she lives in Sin City. So at the end of the interview he began to ask her about her work and kept on insisting that she works in the bars as a prostitute even though she kept on denying it until she says he started to talk very loud accusing her and she became very scared and nervous and said yes just to end the interview. i have yet to visit her in the Philippines and I have not applied for any sort of visa. I am thinking to marry her there and try a spousal visa. I only sent her money for her birthday so she could buy a gift and have a cake and some foods for her friends and relatives. I attended the party myself via web cam. Sorry this is so long


Just FYI, there's a new breed of "prostitution" going on here in the Philippines, which is prevalent in some provinces, that is the "cyber-sex dens". Women are employed in an "internet cafe" sort-of environment where they do "shows" for their foreigner clients via webcam.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Police Clearance Validity

Hi, everyone!

Quick question. The police clearance that I submitted to the NVC is now more than a year old so, by the time my priority date becomes current, it will no longer be valid. Does this mean I have to get a new one when the visa interview is scheduled or will the interviewing officer accept the old document since that is the one I submitted to them?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.


Are you talking about a foreign police clearance or the NBI clearance?

If its the NBI clearance, then yes you will need to get a new one and bring it to your interview. The consul officer will not accept an expired NBI clearance.

My suggestion is seek the advice of a competent lawyer.  What's been accused of is a biggie and should not be taken lightly.

 

I'm just curious, how did the US Embassy find out?  Did she outright admit that the child is not hers during the medical exam?

Coming back on your own does not erase the fact that you overstayed.  Not being deported does not mean you have a clean record in the US.

 

Good luck though.

He was put in AP because they want to do background checks on him (which I think is standard for men in Pakistan).

 

If the consul did not believe that your marriage is genuine, he would have asked for proof, but that's not the case.

Most likely the embassy is doing additional background checks on your petitioner.  There's nothing you can do to speed things up.  Just be more patient, okay?

The US Embassy taking the beneficiary's passport is a GOOD thing.

 

Being put in AP is the most stressful part because it can take days, weeks or months before they can finish it.  There's no specific timeframe because its a case-to-case basis.

 

Good luck.
