Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	10 Year Perm Resident Card Received...but...	You must have listed the daughter in Part 5. Just double-checked. Yes, she was listed on Part 5 of the I-751 form. Even has her Alien # listed in the correct column.	Az Parris	Male	Russia	2010-04-06 02:53:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	10 Year Perm Resident Card Received...but...	Greaaaaaaaaaaaaat. *sigh* And people wonder why we need immigration reform.	Az Parris	Male	Russia	2010-04-05 21:59:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	10 Year Perm Resident Card Received...but...	Did you get a separate one year extension letter for the child? Nope. Her info was filled out on the form correctly. We sent in the biometrics fee for her (like I said above) when we sent in the form fee and biometrics for my wife.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	10 Year Perm Resident Card Received...but...	Well, today in the mail, my wife received her 10 year perm resident green card. Great news!!! However...we still haven't gotten one for her daughter (who's now 8). The daughter got her 2 year card, almost 2 years ago. We filled out the adjustment form. Daughter's info on the form. Sent in the money for the biometrics and the adjustment fee (fee for wife, biometrics fee for both). Only the wife was scheduled to come in for biometrics a few weeks ago. So...when do I start the panic because of nothing for the 8 year old daughter?	Az Parris	Male	Russia	2010-04-05 17:25:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Question about I-751, and a K2 child.	A check for the full amount, including biometrics, drawn from the US Treasury (looks almost identical to a Tax Refund check) showed up yesterday. So...all's well that ends well, 'eh?

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Question about I-751, and a K2 child.	Well, the step-daughter's 10 year card showed up in the mail today. So...no worries. We are just waiting on them to send the money back (wonder how long THAT will take?). Thanks for the help folks!	Az Parris	Male	Russia	2010-04-16 15:04:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Question about I-751, and a K2 child.	Ok...this just got even *stranger*. We just received this letter in the mail today: Link to Immigration Letter So...if I'm reading this right...they're saying they screwed up 2 years ago, and she should have just been given her 10 year card then. So they are gonna refund the fee to us. Could this also be the delay on receiving the child's 10 year card? Nice that we get the cash back...but...guess I'll keep calling about the child's status.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Question about I-751, and a K2 child.	Called the Vermont USCIS center today (that's the one that processed our paperwork) and spoke with "Stephanie" (agent # G672294). She said it could take up to 30 days after approval (which was 4/1/2010) for my daughter's card to arrive. And that it was normal that no separate paperwork receipts showed up for her. So...I guess I'll be waiting till May 1st to panic. Edited by Az Parris, 07 April 2010 - 07:29 AM.	Az Parris	Male	Russia	2010-04-07 07:29:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Question about I-751, and a K2 child.	Since you didn't get the extension letter for the child. It's highly likely they screwed up. Did you send a copy of the childs BC? I'd call your senator and get them working on it. BC? If you mean Birth Certificate, that was all sent 2 years ago with the original request for the 2 year conditional green card. According to other posters here, other children under 14 didn't get the 1 year extension letter either. All they got was the 10 year green card a few days after the parent did. I'll wait a day or two more....then I'm starting the calls.	Az Parris	Male	Russia	2010-04-06 18:18:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Question about I-751, and a K2 child.	Well...no card in the post for the child today. I'll give it another day...then I'm gonna start making calls...	Az Parris	Male	Russia	2010-04-06 15:12:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Question about I-751, and a K2 child.	I asked on VJ the same question and answers were that most of the ppl seen on VJ do not receive anything regarding their minor child (age less than ???? don't really remember, but anyway, somewhere 14-16), until the actual 10 yr green card (where they receive both of them, ofc). So I decided not to worry I posted a separate topic about this, but I'll add to this one also. As I stated above, we sent in the form (with the child in section 5) and the fees. Received the "I-797c Notice of Action" "Receipt Notice" , but it had no mention of the 8 year old daughter. Wife got her I-797c, Notice of Action "ASC Appointment Notice" for her biometrics, and again, no mention of the daughter. Wife had her biometrics taken, and yesterday, we received in the mail my wife's 10 Year Green Card. Still nothing at all about the 8 year old daughter. Are you saying this is normal? That the daughter's 10 year GC should show up in the mail in a day or two? How strange they make NO mention, other than stating in the receipt that we sent the correct amount. If it isn't in the mail today, I'll be making phone calls...about to hit the panic button.	Az Parris	Male	Russia	2010-04-06 03:12:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Question about I-751, and a K2 child.	A couple of months ago, we sent in our form I-751, to remove the conditions and get my wife and her daughter the 10 year green card. We sent in the form, with the filing fees for my wife (K1) and the biometrics fee for both her and the child ($80 each). We've received both the Receipt Notice, and the ACS Appointment Notice for getting Biometrics taken. However, I am concerned, because neither notice mentions the K2 child (and yes, all her info was put on the I-751 form when we filled it out). The Biometrics appointment only mentions my wife (K1) and makes no mention of the child (K2). Is this normal? Does the child (who is 8 years old now) have to get her biometrics retaken (I would assume so, hence the $80 fee for her), and if so, will they just do it at the same time as my wife? Or is something hinkey going on here? I remember the first time around (when getting the 2 year green card) they sent a separate notice for each of them.	Az Parris	Male	Russia	2010-03-04 12:37:00
Australia and New Zealand	The big move - is it really going to be worth it????	Yeah well Lynjer and I have become close friends and we have discussed this often and are both feeling that our lives here are not what we expected. We have bought a house here in Georgia and ever since we have we have no money. The monthly bills are ridiculous so much so I have cut cable bill in half by changing it, my husband would be earning so much more if we were back home than what he is here but it is a government job and hence I came to him. Medical here is ok but we don't get the coverage like I did back home for family. I was covered for glasses the lot but here it is specific things and even though we get cheaper as he is a veteran it's just not the same. No family and friends to just visit . The shopping here is so different but admit cheap. I am 54 and am a homemaker but now because we are struggling with bills I am looking for other ways to make money as all the money I brought to this country is gone spent on getting my husband out of debt from when he was single and gone inot just living . Even though I am not that unhappy here life is just so more pleasant back in OZ and NO we don't have guns in OZ. I hate that idea here too, no wonder crime is so high. I miss my daughters so much more now too that I am here and not being able to just have coffee with friends or go visit my girls. I love my husband but hope too one day I can convince him to come back to OZ as I really don't want to die here alone. I totally understand how you feel.... hope you guys can make it back to Oz!!	chelle+james	Female	Australia	2012-02-10 14:04:00
Australia and New Zealand	The big move - is it really going to be worth it????	Yeah After nearly 3 years living in the US, were planning to move back to Australia... The hubby will earn way more over there for what hes doing over here in the US.... and for me.. I was a publc servant and was earning a decent amount... now i cant even get a job over here coz i dont have a degree.... so yeah, were gonna apply for my hubby's residency in a few months... For my family, moving back will be better financially The economy just seems to be getting worse here every year	chelle+james	Female	Australia	2012-02-10 14:02:00

"OH fudge* (the word "fudge" may have been different ) I was thinking... is this a RFE??? what did I forget??? I trriple checked everything!!! I sent more evidence than even the guides say to send... I even start over entire forms if I thought 1 letter could be interpreted as something else!!! then I see the words... "Approval notice" ok... well this is nice... but let's see if the fine print matches what I think that it means... Then I read "The above petition has been approved...." Then just in case by some random chance I got someone else's mail... I made sure the petitioner and beneficiary's names matched mine and my wonderful soon-to-be wife.... and YES THEY DO!!!!!!!!!!
