Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Stressed,worried	First off, sorry to hear the bad news on your brother Monday morning, make an info appointment with your local office where you had your biometrics done to get your GC or do a walk in if you can and explain to them that your brother has passed away, you may need proof of this for them to see. Ask if you can have your passport stamped to allow you to travel beyond the 18th December to your brothers funeral and back to the USA. All you need is an extension of 2 weeks at the most. If you don't get your passport stamped with this, you will not be allowed to return to the USA after the 18th as you will be out of status. I wish you all the best.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	How long does it take to reopen my I-751?	Make an infopass appointment with your local office and go and see them and explain what has happened, take along the letter of denial to show that you still get mail at your address, tell them that the other letter in question was not delivered by USPS, so therefore you have not abandoned your residence here in the US. Ask them to review it based on a postal mistake, I am sure that someone will help you at your local office once they see that you have recieved all other mail from USIS including the Abandonment letter. Be calm and don't loose your temper with them. It's worth a shot in the dark to see what will happen.	Ian + Anne	Male	United Kingdom	2009-12-17 08:51:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	USPS!!! WHAT THE FU... IS GOING ON???	#######, mine came to just over $5 Certified Mail and got there OK ! I'd go see a manager at the post office where you posted it from and complain and get them to resend at no extra cost to you for their mistake.	Ian + Anne	Male	United Kingdom	2009-12-23 10:11:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Early Biometrics	Nope. Go in the morning if you want the rest of the day free to do whatever.	Ian + Anne	Male	United Kingdom	2009-12-27 16:44:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	conditional resident,divorce-remarry or waiver?	Errmm ......... If your not living in the USA .... you will be classed as 'abandoning your residency' here in the USA, so therefore you will have to start all over again. You will need to obtain a new visa etc. Since you have not lived here since November of 2009, you have no current evidence that you work or live in the USA, it's not going to work. The only way for you to go without having to do the visa thing again is to move back to the USA within the nect month or so and get a job and some place to live to rebuild your life here as a single person, this will be the only way to save your residency status.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Conditional Green Card expires in 2 months	Thank you. You see what that lowers do? He told me to wait 6 more months and file everything then i get a divorce. My card expires in the end of May. When is the best time to file? File within the next 3 weeks, don't leave it any longer, make sure you enclosed the correct fee and a cover letter with details of what you are sending in and info about your marriage and that it was entered in good faith, but you are now waiting for your divorce papers due to a break down in the marriage. If you need more info, please come here and ask, someone is bound to help you and steer you on the right track.	Ian + Anne	Male	United Kingdom	2010-03-19 20:02:00

US Citizenship General Discussion	N-400 JULY 2008 Filers	QUOTE (knik @ Oct 22 2008, 05:08 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hello, I've got my US Citizenship interview today Oct 22 in Boston. I got at the office at 10:30 and left at 12:30. First I've got the civics and history test. The guy asked me if I want to take the old or the new one. There were 6 questions that were exactly from the book. Then he asked me to read and write a simple sentence in English. Then I went to a different room, where you take the actual interview that is going thru your application and the officer asked me questions about everything. At the end she recommended me for Naturalization, the papers went to her supervisor he approved and at the end they gave me a paper for the Oath, that will be on Nov 12. Can't wait! Good luck to everyone. Congratulations.... I was hoping you would post how things went. Sadly I have not got an interview date yet I was hoping to be about a month behind you but it looks like it will be longer. Thanks again.	TayRivers	Male	United Kingdom	2008-10-22 17:09:00

What documents were you asked to bring to your interview? I've already sent the only 2 birth certificates I had and if they ask for another one, I'm going to have to start getting another now because it's a royal pain in the butt to get one in Thailand. Blah! Thanks for your help! You sent original birth certificates? why? You only need to send a copy of the birth certificate and then take the original to the interview.

No name change. But I'm curious of the result if that's possible or not. We might want to have the judge that married us to do my oath ceremony, that judge is a good friend of my hubby's grandma. Anyone knows if we have to pay a special fee for that? It was the Judge that married my Wife and I that did the Oath Ceremony. They have to be a Federal Judge to do the Oath Ceremony and there was no fee to pay.	TayRivers	Male	United Kingdom	2009-05-09 14:10:00

QUOTE If you are applying for naturalization based on your marriage to a U.S. citizen, send the following four items: Evidence that your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for the last three years: Birth certificate (if your spouse never lost citizenship since birth), or Naturalization Certificate, or Certificate of Citizenship, or The inside of the front cover and signature page of your spouse's current U.S. passport, or Form FS-240, "Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America," and Your current marriage certificate, and Proof of termination of all prior marriages of your spouse - divorce decree(s), annulment(s), or death certificate(s); and Documents referring to you and your spouse: Tax returns, bank accounts, leases, mortgages, or birth certificates of children, or Internal Revenue Service (IRS) - certified copies of the income tax forms that you both filed for the past three years, or An IRS tax return transcript for the last three years. If you were married before, send: Proof that all earlier marriages ended - divorce decree(s), annulment(s), or death certificate(s); http://www.uscis.gov...00048f3d6a1RCRD You will note that Utility Bills are not listed. Please show us your source of information that shows that you must have joint Utility Bills. Because if they are needed then my wife should not be a US Citizen as we do not have any Utility Bills that are in Joint names. We never included any utility bills with the N-400 or took any to the interview. I know darn well that utility bills are not listed and have stated it's a really dumb form of evidence. See someone else posted about Minneapolis, actually listed as the St. Paul office, but not in St. Paul either, but in Bloomington, MN where we had to go. So from our friends ahead of us, I did call our cable, phone, and electric company and had my wife's name added to these bills and submitted that as evidence as our friends had to make additional trips. We this information in our folder, we didn't have to make that additional trip. For us, it was either doing it or trying to fight city hall. Yet another friend in Quincy, IL, a long trip for her to downtown Chicago with overpriced hotels got an RFE for utility bills even though she had joint home ownership and three years of tax returns, so that is two offices I know of that is requiring this dumb form of evidence. This friend that was always nine months ahead of us ended up eleven months behind us due to delays caused by the RFE, we didn't want to risk taking that chance. I very seldom if ever used this word, but was really "pissed" off I had to dig out my divorce papers again, 50 pages long and double sided, plus my wife's divorce papers and another eight bucks for our marriage certificate, and they already had three years of joint tax returns for the ten year card plus all of our bank account, joint ownership, etc. evidence. Would have thought that ten year card would have been enough. But you have to play their game and they can make up the rules as you go along. If you feel happier having those joint utility bills then go for it, bor for most people these are not required and never asked for.	TayRivers	Male	United Kingdom	2009-05-18 10:35:00

You do not need to be on the utility bills or on the deeds. My Wife is not named on any utility bills or on the mortgage and she had no issues at the Citizenship interview. The only thing the officer was interested in was our joint tax returns and evidence of our trips outside the US. That would be true if all IO's followed the same guidelines. The guidelines for Citizenship as that you have evidence that you are still married to the USC that petitioned for you. Nowhere does it say that you have to submit evidence that you are named on a Utility Bill or a Mortgage. You have to show that you are still married. The only evidence that my wife took was our joint tax returns for the last 3 years, a copy of out joint bank account, a copy of our e-tickets and our boarding cards for our trip to the UK in dec 2008 and her passport. Can you take your IO to court if they refuse to grant you citizenship until you make yet another trip and bring that evidence in? I am not making this stuff up, happened to a friend in Milwaukee and another in Cadot, WI. Or do you just bring in the evidence they request and get it over with? You take what evidence you have, If you have gone all the way through USCIS and not had your spouses name on the utility bills then there is no reason to have them added for the Citizenship interview. Have a read through the 100's of interview reports from people who have got their Citizenship and you will see that none of them have been asked to produce a utility bill in joint names so they could be approved. Maybe your friends did not have any other evidence. Any Ways you can only take what you have. If you do not have utility bills in joint names then you cant take them can you. To suggest that you MUST have utility bills in joint names and joint names on deeds/mortgage and if you dont you will not be approved is just not right. As for taking USCIS to court for not approving a N-400 application because you could not produce a utility bill in joint names, Yes you could do that.

US Citizenship General Discussion	US citizen needs to transfer large amount of money to the US	QUOTE (blue123 @ May 20 2009, 03:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (NickD @ May 17 2009, 07:06 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Shouldn't your bank know the laws on transferring sums of money? If they don't, find one that does, even in my small town we have just as many different banks as we do taverns and churches. Found it ridiculous couldn't even open a small 1000 buck joint account until my wife got her green card, this country has gone crazy. Not exactly talking about 25 million to pay off a terrorist. Least you can transfer your money, can't do that with Chavez, can lose 60% of it with their black market and sneak it in, so just leaving it there, screw it, we have bread on the table and are happy. Don't understand why you couldn't open an account. I went into a bank last summer asked to open account and as I didn't have a SSN# or green card they just wanted to see my passport, took a copy of biographic page and was done in 15 minutes. Yes I agree, my parents are just about to immigrate to the US. When they were here in march on vacation they opened a joint checking account and individual savings accounts so they can transfer their money when the time comes and also have the account numbers to get their pensions paid to them in the US. They do not have SSN all they did was show their passports and deposited $500 to oppen the accounts. took no more than 30 mins to do this. They have since transfered well over $100,000.00 by wire transfer from the UK to the US they have never been asked to complete any forms when transfering money.

Does the conditional greencard count or only the 10-year green card? A Greencard is a greencard, you became a LPR the day you were approved for your Greencard, the fact you had to file to remove conditions does not make any diffrence.

I'm eligible to apply for naturalization in July. If I still don't have the card, will that be problematic in any way? Thanks. do you have your original card? Yes, I have the two year card. You dont need the card to apply, you can include a copy of the approval letter and then when you go for your Citizenship interview take a photocopy of the new card as well as the card its self.

US Citizenship General Discussion	How long does it take to have my citiecnship interview notice reprint??	QUOTE (yiwenschark @ May 30 2009, 01:46 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I found out that my citizenship interview was scheduled on 6/10 and I was told the letter was sent out on 4/27, but I haven't received that yet. So I am sure the notice letter got lost in the mail. Now I was told that I could make an appointment with the local office and have them reprint the letter or I caon 6/10.n reschedule the interview. I am currently traveling with my husband due to his job. So I would like to know the possibilities of still making to the interview Can someone tell me that if the notice letter can be printed out right away or I will still need to wait for them to send me? Does anyone have this experience?? Any advice is appreciated. Only way to find out for sure is to go to your local office and ask them what you should do. It is the local office that issues the interview letters. Make a infopass appointment as soon as you can.	TayRivers	Male	United Kingdom	2009-05-30 04:58:00

Had my oath taking 2 weeks ago and I applied for my passport on June 1. Opted for expedited processing and I paid $149.85 for it. Then an additional $42.50 to the USPS for passport fee and express mail. Yesterday I received my new USA passport. Took only 10 days. Wonderful! I guess the naturalization certificate arrives separately and soon. Thanks! I still waiting for my citizenship interview, but I would like to apply for a US Passport right after the oath taking. Just curious what documentation did you provide State (passport processing) to prove you are a citizen if your naturalization certificate is not right away in hand? It's logical I guess to assume that that is what State needs. You get your Certificate at the Oath Ceremony, I went to my local Post Office to apply for my Passport all I took was The Passport application forms, my certificate, my state drivers license, utility bill showing address and 2 passport photos and the fee. I put my certificate in a clear plastic wallet and stapled it closed, that way when they were attaching the application together the did not staple through the certificate only the plastic wallet. I thought the passport office might take it out of the plastic wallet but when I got it back it was still in the wallet.	TayRivers	Male	United Kingdom	2009-06-13 09:54:00

Don't know why they can't save a stamp and toss that in the same heavy cardboard envelop. Had to sign for that cheap passport compared to a replacement certificate, that expensive certificate was jammed in with the rest of the junk mail. I paid $100 for my passport (normal service) and I had it back within 10 days as well. You will get your certificate in the normal mail 2-5 days later. Like NickD said I cant see why they cant return it with the passport. Congrats on completing your journey.	TayRivers	Male	United Kingdom	2009-06-13 08:50:00

We always paid for expedient service, but was wondering, how do they send you your passport if you don't? Regular mail? With expedient, you have to be around whenever the postman decides to show up and sign for it, if not, he leaves you a note to deliver it the next day, or the next day, or you can drive over to the post office and pick it up. It was delivered in the regular mail, no signature required.	TayRivers	Male	United Kingdom	2009-06-23 07:28:00

What documents have to be brought? Thanks! You need to take your certificate into your nearest SSA office and complete a SS5 form. They will photocopy the certificate and update their records and a new card will be mailed to you. You could have had the restriction removed as soon as you got your greencard there was no need to wait until you became a citizen. I visited the SSA office on the way home from my oath ceremony to update my SSA records, but I already had a unrestricted SSN card. http://www.socialsec...nline/ss-5.html As for the US Passport, I applied at my local US Post office, just took all the forms and my certificate and the fee and they check everything and sent it all off to be processed.
