Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Green card will expire before initial NOA.	So I got an envelope from USCIS today. I got all excited thinking 'yes! I don't have to worry about the expiry date.' What was it?......my application!!! They sent it back because of one stupid little mistake. Now I'm kicking myself hard for overlooking something so important. But I've scheduled an infopass apt. for Monday so hopefully I can get my status cleared up. But wow!! Was I ever DUMB!! I'm all stressed out...and I did it to myself.	BexandDavid	Not Telling	Canada	2009-07-02 14:36:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Green card will expire before initial NOA.	Infopass, of course! Thank you.	BexandDavid	Not Telling	Canada	2009-06-30 13:32:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Green card will expire before initial NOA.	I mailed my I-751 and it was received on 06/17. My green card will expire on 07/03. My cheques have not been cashed and I have not received any notices. If I don't receive my NOA before it expires what should I do? Will someone point me towards an appropriate contact # so I can check up on my application? The Guide has no information on what to do in such a situation. Should I not work when my card expires?

Canada	Montreal denied!!!	QUOTE (trailmix @ Nov 24 2009, 01:08 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Dalene @ Nov 24 2009, 11:02 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> When he asked if I had a job in the U.S., I said that I didn't need to work because my husband made good money. He replied, "well, not everyone is as rich as you." Since my husband's career is more important than mine, I wanted to stay with him until we could move to the U.S. Now, I may find a job and once the visa is issued, figure out if I want to stay there or not. yes. this comment is rather shocking and presumptuous. completely out of line. i'm so sorry you have to go through all of this.	bogartnoir	Female	Canada	2009-11-24 13:11:00
Canada	example aos cover letter	hey guys, can anyone provide an example of their aos checklist? we're getting ready to send ours off and i just want to make certain everything is in order. thanks in advance!	bogartnoir	Female	Canada	2010-05-16 14:45:00
Canada	Waiting for AOS; Visa almost expired	Filed for AOS last week. I-94 expires June 3rd. Do I need to have any type of papers that show I am waiting for my AOS to be approved? Do I just sit tight and wait for a response while my papers expire? Thanks!	bogartnoir	Female	Canada	2010-05-23 22:04:00
Canada	it's been 6 months waiting for AOS :(	so we got married may 7th. we sent our application for aos on the 17th of may and haven't had even a touch since july. like a bunch of jerks we didn't think to apply for I-131 because we thought he'd have his green card by now. well now my husband would like to visit his family in ontario around christmas (we move across the country in february). what options do we have here? i saw no option available for our situation on the infopass website. is there a phone number to call? thanks in advance, guys!

Canada	AOS'rs...	this is SUCH BULLSHIT. we got a ###### RFE. and even more annoying- it took them this ###### long to give an rfe. we move across the country next month and this is really not the stress we need right now. uscis, you SUCK. you don't need any more ###### evidence. we're sitting here. still married. moving to settle down in oregon in february. seriously. back the #### off. you've made the last 4 years of our life a living ###### hell. bureaucratic nonsense. stuff it.

Canada	AOS'rs...	do i need to worry yet? no approval after 5 months...	bogartnoir	Female	Canada	2010-10-08 19:09:00
Canada	AOS'rs...	so tomorrow is 4 months since we applied for aos. can we get an infopass appt after tomorrow? this approving ###### at the very last second is bunkum.	bogartnoir	Female	Canada	2010-09-18 21:19:00
Canada	AOS'rs...	so our case was transferred to CSC! so that's nice. and today, at the last possible second, we got notification that g was approved for his EAD (finally) but of course it could take up to another month to GET said card. *insert sad trombone noise here*	bogartnoir	Female	Canada	2010-08-03 10:29:00

Canada	K-1 people waiting for interviews at Montreal	i don't understand? if they tell you you have an interview- even if someone misunderstood- they should give one to you asap. on principle. nobody ever gave me a date, so i can't really be angry but if i were you, varba, i'd be at my wits end too. i hope you can get in touch with someone who will listen. me? i'm just going to sit and sigh. at least g wont be trying to drive here during the winter months now...	bogartnoir	Female	Canada	2009-10-13 12:56:00
