Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 August filers, 2010	Please add me to the August filers' list. I've just mailed the packet for my wife from Switzerland where we're temporarily located with permanent address in NJ. I hope it will reach there by Friday. I couldn't get return receipt from DHL but I was told I'll be able to see the name of person in trace and tracking on DHL's website. My wife's green care expires on August 26th but we had to wait due to several variables however I'm glad it's finally out and now hope the process will go smooth. Packet is sent to Vermont service center.	Rainbow007	Male	Pakistan	2010-08-11 07:52:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	October filers	Congrats! MR_S_P. MR_S_P, I'm sorry if I'm being rude by asking you this, but could you share your ideas of why it took little longer? My process is taking longer than other December filers and I'm desperate for any answers. I think my documents were pretty solid and not sure why it is taking so long. Thank you in advance. Again, Congratulation Mr. SP Edited by utz119, 28 April 2010 - 06:54 PM.	utz119	Female	0	2010-04-28 18:53:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	case updated today. Confused. Pls help!!!	I just had issues today with USPS. I got the tracking number from USCIS and it stated card delivered this morning at 9am. 1pm rolls around still nothing, so I am leaving my apartment to go to local postal office, and lo and behold, who turns up? Turns out he scanned the letter before he left his depot this morning. Needless to say, I was a happy camper, although I did give him the beady eye for messing with my emotions. Green card in hand, and am one happy guy. Good luck all.	IanChap	Male	0	2013-03-14 12:44:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 Package. Here's what we got. Anything to add	Hello everyone. My wife and I are beginning the process of removing conditions on GC in October. We recently moved from Dallas to NY (sold the house there and rented in NY) and we're not sure if this move a month and a half before we file I 751 will raise any unfounded suspicions.  I've been unemployed since June 2012 when I finished grad school and my mom passed away from cancer this spring across the ocean. It's been a couple of hard years and we decided to move for a change (also not many photos in these past months of mourning).    We compiled a list of what we have so far and are looking to see if we missed anything. Would you add anything else or take out? Too little or too much? Looking for some encouragement here...of course this is just to make us feel better or worse (depending on what scary comments we get).  We thought the Adjustment of Status is stressful but it seems this is not any easier.    Thanks.    From the cover letter written by my wife:      Copy of permanent resident card (front/back)   Copy of my husband?s passport ? front pages  Copy of our marriage certificate. Driver license copies (Texas DL and new NY licenses showing same addresses) Copies of various car insurance notices before moving to New York.  2011-2014. We sold the cars.   Copy of New York apartment lease  (09/01/2013 ? 08/31/2014) signed on 08/12/2013 Copy of New York apartment renters insurance Copies of new utility accounts for the New York residence (still waiting for the first bills) Copy of the storage unit my husband took care to rent in Dallas to store household items we decided not to take to New York. Printout shows the names of the family members who can access it.   X Copy of the moving company shipping quote from Dallas to NY showing both our names   Copies of various documents pertaining to the selling of our house ( July ?  Sep 2013) Copy of Power of Attorney. (Husband ? Principal, Me ? Agent) for selling of house. Husband was not able to attend the signing as he drove from Dallas to New York in the first week of September to get our new apartment ready, set up utilities and wait for the truck with our Dallas belongings. Copy of refinancing the house in Dallas, TX in 2012                Various utility bills from our old residence in Dallas TX. and printouts of computer screen shots showing the history of auto-pays of the same accounts. Husband had cable/phone/internet taken care of when he moved in. Other bills are on wife name.    Joint US tax returns IRS transcripts for 2012, 2011.                                  Various statements of our joint bank accounts   (got the main ones joint in June 2012)        Copies of American Express credit card showing same account number Printouts of screenshots from bank accounts showing various expenditures ( e.g. dog grooming) Copy of my husband?s Vanguard account he opened in Feb 2013 from his savings and named me the main beneficiary.                                                       Copy of our health insurance cards showing joint policies (2011- ) Computer Screen shot copy of life insurance policies   Copy of my will and end of life decision designating my husband Copy of dentist visit history, and copies of two documents showing visits to the same family doctor practice. For personal reasons I decline to have any other medical history released.                       Copies of our airline reservations for trips taken to his home country to visit his family, and other trips to Washington DC and New York. Copy of my Passport showing stamps of entry and exit dates to husband home country:                            Various photos: 2011 - current                                      x E-mail correspondence and chat threads between each other.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	My Biometrics Walk In Experience - Varick St. New York	Thanks for sharing. I read other threads of similar nature, where the LO was completely empty and yet they bluntly refused to accept an early walk-in. Yet there are many other LOs, who does it without any issue. May be it is good to open a thread listing all the difficult LOs for the benefit of others.   I guess these people (the ones you faced) take pleasure in throwing their weight around - we have to just pity them.   I will try to post in some other thread as well. Didn't seem to find the right spot of it, but I could place it in AOS forum as well.    Good luck with your case. I hear the CSC is much more efficient than VSC.	crisppian	Male	0	2013-11-07 12:59:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	My Biometrics Walk In Experience - Varick St. New York	Wow, sorry to hear you had to go through this.  Somehow it's human nature for some that if you work for the gov't you can be a complete jack*** about it and get away with it or something.  I've been to the DMV enough times to make that conclusion and as much as I always give people benefits of the doubt I can't help but judge   When I called USCIS for some inquiries the automated system said something along the lines of USCIS strive for great customer service etc.etc.  Not sure if that applies to ASC's?   But with that said, customer service is lacking in many industries and I have seen complete jack***y behavior in many non-gov't locations only because they work for some big companies...   I would probably call up USCIS at some point and ask them if they received your biometrics - they should have records of them in their offices when it's received.  The worst thing that can happen is probably if they ask you for a redo.  Your evidence is already in the hands of the USCIS so not like the ASC ppl can tamper with it   Good luck!   Thanks for the tip. Just seems to be the luck of the draw when it comes to dealing with authorities. I got to pick the jack*** in the bunch. I wouldn't have walked in at that location if I had not read good things about it online. So by acting like a jack** that guy actually proved that you should never trust blogs or forums, only official gov. information.  Job well done, sir. Job well done.    I'l take your advice and call USCIS in the next few weeks rather than show up at the original ASC center I was scheduled for next Friday and ask if they have my paw prints in the system.	crisppian	Male	0	2013-11-07 12:54:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	My Biometrics Walk In Experience - Varick St. New York	For giggles you can read what happened to me here: http://www.visajourn...ost__p__5360118   I'm taking my kids to Dallas for a couple of days over Thanksgiving; we're going to go to the Perot Museum, Dallas Museum of Art, and maybe the Aquarium too. Should be interesting.   Fun. I mean the biometrics experience, not the museums. Kidding. It seems there was lots of southern hospitality at that center in Fort Worth. I got some NJ NY mix of hospitality, something worthy of the Sopranos.    Don't forget all the art and all the fun at NorthPark Mall.	crisppian	Male	0	2013-11-06 17:57:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	My Biometrics Walk In Experience - Varick St. New York	Sadly I experienced similar treatment at the ASC in Fort Worth, TX. Some kings really enjoy ruling over their particular fiefdoms and don't let you ever forget it.   In retrospect it was a ridiculous scene but hopefully he can't screw around with whatever file I'm in... and if he does I hope the middle finger print pops on the screen.    Oh and the personal reason for the walk in was that I was/am planning to drive to TX and see my wife's folks...as a way of remembering my mom who passed away in Spring and her birthday was Nov 20th (my appointment was for Friday, the 15th). Nothing that couldn't be changed but I thought a decent enough thought for a walk-in especially after reading about folks with the most random (legit or not) excuses.    Cheers from NY. I always liked Fort Worth more than Dallas (shhh, don't tell my wife).	crisppian	Male	0	2013-11-06 17:37:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	abandonment of conditional visa	I'm not too sure of the laws on this but I found this on the USCIS website: Maintaining Permanent Residence You may lose your permanent resident status (green card) if you commit an act that makes you removable from the United States under the law, as described in Section 237 or 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (see the “INA” link to the right). If you commit such an act, you may be brought before an immigration court to determine your right to remain a permanent resident. Abandoning Permanent Resident Status You may be found to have abandoned your permanent resident status if you: Move to another country intending to live there permanently Remain outside of the United States for more than 1 year without obtaining a reentry permit or returning resident visa. However, in determining whether your status has been abandoned, any length of absence from the United States may be considered, even if less than 1 year Remain outside of the United States for more than 2 years after issuance of a reentry permit without obtaining a returning resident visa. However, in determining whether your status has been abandoned any length of absence from the United States may be considered, even if less than 1 year Fail to file income tax returns while living outside of the United States for any period Declare yourself a “nonimmigrant” on your tax returns You might want to consult with a Immigration Lawyer	moroccogirlny	Female	Morocco	2011-01-14 11:36:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Removing Conditionals on Residency	You can start filing ROC as long as you are within the 90 days of expiration. You might have a interview so you might want to hold off booking a ticket to travel.	moroccogirlny	Female	Morocco	2011-01-18 15:08:00

Well what can I do but wait....wait till the 6 months is up and then call and call and call till my fingers fall off from dialing the USCIS number and make a million infopasses and hound them everyday till they have a meeting at VSC and decided to get me approved coz they are sick and tired of me. Right now Im praying and asking God for patience and a positive attitude.	Susan73	Female	0	2010-02-26 16:49:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	November Filers	FYI, September VSC filer GabachaYucateca received RFE on 2/2/10 and she filed I-751 on 9/4/09.... So, their is still possibility to get RFE like 1 month later... Yes I noticed their RFE...but I did send all the important evidence already and dont have much else to send. Tax transcripts for the last 3 years Credit card bills Phone bills Medical insurance cards Cards from family and friends addressed to both of us A few photos Joint bank account statements and some other stuff I cant recollect....what else can i send. We dont own a house so no papers in that regard, but can send a letter from our landlady. I wanted to send it that time but we had to get it notarized and she was undergoing surgery so couldn't come to the notary office. But for my AOS I did send a letter from her indicating that she knows both of us and that we live in her rented apartment. So if they do send a RFE Im not sure what else to send.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	November Filers	so candelari, how many times have you logged into the USCIS online and checked your status??? heheheheeee I did it a million times before I accepted that it is not a prank! I hope the weather is not causing too much delays for everyone else!!! I log into USCIS 2 times a day once at about 10.30 am and then again at 5 pm...but its always the same old INITIAL REVIEW....now Im scared that they lost my papers.....a lot of people after me have been approved. If they had to ask for RFE they would have done it already...right???? or are they waiting for the 6 month mark to ask me for more evidence..i sent everything possible. NOA dated Nov 4th, FP Dec 10th and Not a touch or update since dec 11th after Finger printing..... I am starting to lose my mind now..... Edited by Susan73, 26 February 2010 - 04:04 PM.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	November Filers	I didn't read the entire treats... No, no need for info pass, all you will get is " you are still in 6 months time line, no further action required". It is stressin but not so abnormal for USCIS to make you wait for no reason, I expect you to get it soon. You may be one of these people who already got approved but never got online update. Your mail may suprize you (I hope) cheer up lady, it will happen and it will happen soon.... No nail biting here...as a kid i was told that my fingers will swell up and fall off so that scared the life out of me and I never bit my nails since grade 2.... As for grey hair...yes the latest is 1 grey eyebrow..lol.... Im sure a whole bunch of us are graying faster than we would like to... No info pass here...not till i cross the 6 month period..... candelari..u are funny. Thank you for trying to cheer me up..... I logged into my case status and clicked on the Initial review circle and tried to drag it with my mouse to the 'Card production ' cirlce....lol...didnt work but atleast i tired...thats more than what VSC is doing for us.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	November Filers	I do not think there is any rule for taking Infopass..i am not sure though.. it has happened many times that some letters get lost in the mail and USCIS responds with a BS letter saying you did not send this did not send that did not attend interview so on and so forth.. I am not saying that this indeed will be the case , but if I was in your shoes , I would book an Infopass and just check.. does not hurt...but thats just me..you may have a different way of thinking Staying off from VJ will not bring in your approval sooner , it will rather help to gauge the timeline , what I have seen there is a general trend of 10 -11 weeks wait from your biometric appointment date Also when you check your case status online what date does it mention there ? in my case although my notice date is 7th december 2009 , it says /"on 10th december 2009 we received.." I think you have to follow this date rather than just the NOA date I think you will get approved soon This Thursday it will be 11 weeks since my Finger printing. Yes past experience with AOS tells me Immg will have some excuse of mailing out letters and me not getting it. The very first NOA I got at the start of the AOS process was according to them sent to me 3 times..i never got the 3 letters and finally after calling them a million times got the 4th copy of NOA...so that explains a lot. They sent my papers from Nebraska then to CA and finally to national benefits center ...however I wasnt on VJ so i never knew what was happening and wasnt really worried...and it all worked out pretty well. For this Adjustment of Status process, I was told over the phone twice that an NOA was sent but I never got it till i called and pestered 1 lady on the phone and she was nice enough to send it again. When I check my case status, it says we received your blah blah blah on Nov 4th.....INITIAL REVIEW crapola....	Susan73	Female	0	2010-02-23 13:03:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	November Filers	Susan , you and all other November Filers will get approved soon , if it helps , take an Infopass appointment to check as to what is going on with your case..but I think you and all other November filers will hear good news soon Its too soon to take an infopass...dont you have to wait 6 months? I think i need to stay off Vj...coming here and seeing approvals makes me anxious. if i didnt come here I wouldnt be so worried and let things take its course atleast for 6 months....like I did for all my previous paperwork....
