Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussiondoes everyone get a receipt after mailed out I-751?
I sent our package regular mail. It didn't take that long to get the receipt (see timeline). My biometrics check was cashed first. Give it a few more days....I am sure it will come soon.

QUOTE (rdevivar @ Sep 18 2007, 02:02 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I will admit that is is kinda unfair that cases do not seem to be processed FIFO (first in first out). We submitted the regular things that everyone else submits (insurance, bank accounts, utilities, etc.).


yeah....they can't be doing a FIFO. If they did it in order...we would be approved by now. It's like they divide all the stacks of forms up...give them to each employee...and the fastest people win. I am starting to get a bit nervous myself.

I do not know of anything special that we did, but we're thankful that things were processed so rapidly. We submitted the normal things that everyone else submits (nothing out of ordinary). We do have a daughter together, maybe that helped. No letters from friends/family were sent either.

Hmmm.....that can't be it either....we have a new daughter together also....and did not send letters either. I guess you guys were really lucky! Congrat's.

OK...so I am so done with the wait. It's now over 6 months...and still nothing. I can't understand why they don't do the first in...first out...if there are no issues (we are not even sure of that). This process was frustrating 3 years ago...and it still continues to be. Just venting.

Hmmm...I have to agree...seems kind of unfair that just because you won't give your card up because you have no other ID (just a thought...you can go to DMV and get a non Drivers license ID.) Anyway...I guess if it works for you.....definitely more power to you.

In NJ...you have to have 6 "points" of various identification. My DH used his extension letter, marriage certificate, passport and various other things. They took his extension letter, no problem...but only gave him a drivers license that was good until the letter expires. Good luck. You shouldn't have a problem. And if all else fails...just go to another DMV.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-865 and AR-11 forms
Hello everyone! This is my first post in this forum and I am excited. It's such a nice feeling to finally advance into this sectio of the process.

My husband and I are moving from NJ to Seattle, WA in the summer. As I have read on here numerous times, we will need to fill out an AR-11 form when we get there. I also know that as a sponsor, I must fill out the I-825 to show my change of address.

However, I am not the only sponsor who's address will be changing. My aunt is my husband's joint sponsor and she will be moving to a new home around the same time as us. So I am assuming she will need to fill out an I-865 as well, being a joint sponsor?

I know there is no fee for the forms, but do we need to send in any supporting documents or evidence of our new homes? And is it customary to send out the forms in advance before you move or after you move into your new home?

Thanks for your help! I know this is a popular and repititive topic.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionNeed help on my situation
I really doubt that this would upset them. I think since you're both young students, it's a natural thing to want to study abroad. (I did!) And I don't think they would expect your wife to stop such experiences, simply because she's married to a foreign citizen. It is not as if you are both living in two seperate places, you know? She is just there to study.

How long is she going for?

I honestly think they will be completely fine. I know that when they lift conditions they usually don't call you in for a second interview if you have plenty of evidence. Just keep in mind that on the off chance they do schedule you for an interview, that she'll have to come back home for that.
jaaaaamasFemaleEngland2006-04-20 01:58:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionA question for those who have completed change of address

If there is no case pending actually, she still still must notify the USCIS about the Change of Adress and in this case mail the Ar-11 and I-865 to the Local Service Center and another AR-11 to Kentucky and still call the 1-800 number.
Best wishes.
Sincerely.


When you say to send that AR-11 and the I-865 to the Local Service Center, do you mean the Service Center that processed, in this case, our case, or do you mean the Local Service Center closest to where you live now? We moved across country to the west coast and I assuming this means I write to my Service Center in NJ where our case was processed, as opposed to writing to the one here in Seattle?
jaaaaamasFemaleEngland2006-08-02 15:43:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionChange of Address

We were a little late in sending the AR-11 and the I-865 repectively. I think I missed the deadline for the first one by a few days, I sent the second one on time, though.

That said, I have not received any confirmation on any of those from USCIS. I will call them this week to see what address they have on file, and if it is the incorrect one, then to get it updated.


Yeah I would give them a call. I received a confirmation letter within a week stating the address was updated, from the new service center where I sent the I-865 to. I never got one for the AR-11, but I did receive a confirmation from the post office that it was delivered safely. I think I remember reading on here that you don't get a letter back for the AR-11. Correct me if I'm wrong on that, anyone..

Either way, I am moving AGAIN in about 3 days so will have to do this all over again for the second time in less than a month. I am sure they love us over at USCIS by now ;)
jaaaaamasFemaleEngland2006-08-27 05:04:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionChange of Address

To be safe, yes, I would send them a change of address now, and then again when you move in a few weeks.

Luckily, the forms aren't too big of a deal to fill out.


Thanks Raymaga! Yeah the forms really were easy to fill out. I was shocked.

My only concern right now is it asks on my husband's form for the name of his employer. Since moving here to Washington, we've both yet to find new jobs. We don't want to start looking until we move into our more permanent home, which will be an hour or so away from where we are now.

Does anyone think that's going to cause any trouble?
jaaaaamasFemaleEngland2006-08-01 23:37:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionChange of Address
My husband and I are sending out our change of address forms tomorrow. He'll be doing the AR-11 and I'll be doing the I-865.

I know this had to be done within 10 days of moving, but we're actually on day 13 today. Will this be a problem, do you think? They'll know because we filed for a change of address at the post office the day before we left. I have been so busy since we have moved, and honestly, all this immigration stuff slipped my mind until now.

Also, we are moving AGAIN in a few weeks to a month. This address was just a temporary place, as we're staying with my sisters. But I know since we filed for a change of address at the post office, it means USCIS counts this as a new address. Also I recently took out loans using this address as well. So I guess I just have to send out ANOTHER form again in a month's time?

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionJust finished our interview!
I have not been on this site in nearly 2 years. Not because it's not an informative and lovely one, it's just...I'm not really sure!

But I did want to come back here and let everyone know how our interview went and update our timeline so that everyone can use it as a reference point!

Our original service center was Vermont. It was in New Jersey that we had our AOS interview. Now we live in Seattle, going through the California Service center. We had our interview here in Seattle.

So as a brief timeline for lifting conditions:

1-22-2008: NOA - 1 year extension for conditional resident status
1-28-2008: Dean received an NOA for Biometrics
2-19-2008: Biometrics appointment
3-28-2008: RFE - given until 6-20-2008 to get more evidence in
6-?-2008: We finally submitted more evidence. Slackers!
9-10-2008: Interview Notice arrives
10-16-2008: Interview to remove conditions


So let's go to this morning, at our 8:00am appointment.

The morning and the night before started out terrifying. Dean could not find his passport. Anywhere. After hours of searching to no avail, we had to leave it be. We thought for sure we would get turned away at the door, especially since that was the first thing on the list they asked you to bring.

However, we arrive on time and they only ask for our state IDs at the door. We sign in, head to the waiting room and wait for only 10 minutes tops before we are called into the room by a very bubbly woman who informed us she usually works over at the Yakima branch but was filling in for someone today.

Honestly, the interview was ridiculously simple. I can hardly believe it. First she asked for my state ID and Dean's conditional permanent resident card. She didn't want to see Dean's passport. In fact, later on we brought up that it was currently missing, and she didn't care at all.

She flipped through our big folder of paperwork, updated our address on the computer and in our folder and took a few photocopies of some paperwork. She asked not one question. She stated our wedding date and had us confirm it was correct. From that point forwards she pretty much said, "Okay, show me whatever you got!"

All we produced was our last 2 leases for our apartment, our housing insurance for our current apartment, and a joint bank statement. She also photocopied my health insurance card, but I told her that Dean wasn't actually on my insurance. She was fine with that. We had more evidence than that but she already had the rest of the evidence we sent in, in our folder which she looked over.

Yes, so as simple as all that sounds, with that she said our case looked good and she was giving us the okay to pass! But she also said now a supervisor has to confirm that he gets his greencard. If for some reason he hesitates, we will just get an RFE for more evidence, but won't have a second interview or anything.

That was it. We walked out and now we wait. But I feel positive about everything and can't even believe how much more calm life already feels after almost 4 years or so of waiting!

Thanks to all the fantastic help that everyone on this site provided us in the past. Honestly, I have to say that without this site, I couldn't have done this.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionTraveling outside USA on conditional green card
Greetings!
My husband really wants to visit his Mother in Turkey, this year, as she is not well..
Even though he has his "2 year" green card ...he is so afraid they will not let him back
in to the United States...They were so evil and rude to him when he first came here
on his K-1 Visa into Philly as soon as they saw he was from Turkey (a Muslim country) they
treated him like a criminal..(so much for the city of brotherly love!!) mad.gif so he really paranoid!
We don't file for lifting of conditions until Feb 2008.
I will not be able to travel with him.

Anyone (from a Muslim country or otherwise) have any problems with coming back on their 2 year green card?
I would really appreciate hearing your experiences!!
Thanks so much!
Betty
