Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion10 years green card in hand!
Just wanted to thank everyone here on VJ is a great and very helpful site, I got my 10 years green card and i appreciate your help so thank you. I was wondering how long I can remain outside US as a permanent resident? Im not sure if its one year or 6 months. I need to go back to Mexico to renew my passport and have a surgery.
Thanks and good luck to all of you!!

US Citizenship General DiscussionTwice permanent resident
Thanks. On the USCIS website it is said:

"Resided continuously in the U.S. for three years in the case of qualified spouses of U.S. citizens"

It doesn't say the LAST 3 years, I cannot find the reference to this. Do you have a link?


Unfortunately - they only count the last 5 years. Do you know if you violated your physical presence or continuous residence?
You may need to wait another year or so then apply based on the 3 year rule.

US Citizenship General DiscussionTwice permanent resident
I have been married for 16 years to a US citizen. I have been continuous permanent resident for 10 years (1995 to 2005), then we left to live in Mexico (2005 to 2010) but returned frequently to the US. Now we are again living in the US and so I became again a continuous permanent resident. Can I qualify for the naturalization process considering my presence in the US from 1995 to 2005 as a permanent resident? Or does it have to be IMMEDIATELY before my application? (which is not really explicitly said anywhere)
Thanks for your input!

Michele 1003, I came back the same day of my interview, I didn't want to wait cause I wanted to start packing while my visa arrives but if you wait there you will get it in 2 days. :)


CesiFemaleMexico2013-09-27 09:57:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsYaaay....Visa Approved, thank GOD!!

My visa was approved yesterday, the lady that interviewed me just asked this questions:

When did you meet your fiancee?

When was the first time you saw him?

Where does your fiancee work?

How many kids does he have?

What are the kid's names?

Where does he live?

She didn't asked me for any evidence at all....(wooow, I had a bunch of it) :)

After the questions, she was typing something, then she asked my kids their age.

After she finished typing she smiled and said Welcome to the United States, your visa is approved and you will

get it in 5 days, then she gave me a green paper, that said it was approved and the instructions to track it from DHL......GOD is so awesome. I feel relief, well for now we're finished with the first and more stressful step.

Thank you VJ friends and good luck to all of you!! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMARCH FILERS!!!
I've been pretty patient so far but I'm getting extremely frustrated..........our NOA1 was on March 8, and we got a notice that our petition was transferred to CSC on March 26, and no touches since April 26. It seems like people that filed after us are getting approved.........what should I do?? Would it do any good to call? And WHY is the I-129F for spouses not even listed on the CSC processing times anymore?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterview schedule without NVC letter

Manila IV is a special case - is possible to self-schedule for a CR-1/IR-1 and absolutely required for a K-1.à

. I don't know if I'm k3 all I know is I'm cr1. Sorry but how will I know if I'm k3? What else do I need to bring with me aside from the pictures and proof. Also I check ceac and it says there follow the instructions of Nvc. Does that mean I will cancel the one that I schedule?

Hi gabby thank you for the reply I called the us embassy already and the agent I talked to she's telling me it's up to me if I'll go. It's my discretion because if the us embassy interviewer didn't see my package there they will just send me home I'd like to take a risk but still I'm worried if my visa release might get affected . Pls help

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 question 7 (but a student, unemployed)
-also: i am ordering the tax transcripts for my joint sponsor last 3 years and for myself for two years (not this one, because we havent filed yet) but i have W2s and 1040 and tax return for this year (which makes it 3 years in total) so is this correct? (i also have bank statements for both of us, and employment statement for the sponsor). i hope im on the right track...
[/quote]

I think you're Ok with these things. One thing that would help you is to write an explanation letter about why you are unemployed for now, and if you're planing to get a job soon.

US Citizenship General Discussionwhat is infopass
QUOTE (flavaofsummer @ Apr 19 2008, 01:37 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
i see alot of people writing the word infopass what is it how do u do it and what do u get out of it?


It's an appointment that you will do in your local USCIS office to check advances in your case. Of if you think that there is some trouble with your application or procesing times yoo can do an infopass appointment to ask them directly what's happening...
