Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI need HELP 'Supporting documents'
if it was on your NOA, that is something that all NOA's say....

did you already send evidence with your form?? I would think you wouldn't need to send all the same info again, if you have already sent it....

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussionis there an interview for the 10 year green card
I have heard of some people be called in for an interview for removal of conditions.. so it does happen just not very often...

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussionis there an interview for the 10 year green card

from the looks of it, you might get the 10 year green card which means you wouldn't have to file to remove conditions...

I am pretty sure you get the 10 year card if you have been married for over 2 years at the time of AOS ....


We might still be in for a wait, even after the medical, but I will let you know. I'm hoping that we won't be pending for too many months more... it's been almost a year already and the stress gets to me from time to time, more so the closer we get to the end of our journey.

the wait is probably a good thing because you might get the 10 year card if you have been married for over 2 years....

Cool - I somehow didn't notice that there was a thread on it already.

For my own selfish reasons, I am also wondering about the interview part because, say you are at CSC for forever and a day, then your 2 year anniversary comes and goes and your AOS is still pending, does that mean they transfer you to another center so that you get an interview?

We are 10 days away from our 2 year anniversary and our medical (an RFE, joy) is next week...

(* the two years to remove conditions starts from the date you get your 2 year green card)

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussionis there an interview for the 10 year green card
check out this thread...
http://www.visajourn...showtopic=74209

there usually isn't an interview for removal of conditions but they do happen on occasion...

What happens to those from CSC who didn't get interviewed prior to their 2 year card? Does that mean they are automatically interviewed at Removal of Conditions?

I'm curious because I have heard conflicting information that states nobody gets a 10 year green card without an interview (especially if they didn't get an interview for their 2 year card) and I have heard elsewhere that people do in fact receive 10 year green cards without having an interview either for the conditional or for the removing conditions.

If somebody has anything concrete, I'd love to hear it.

I dont know where is WSC.

At the first line of NOA1 you can reas the words: You conditional resident status is extended for a period of one year from date of expiration on your Form I-511

If your read is ASC Appointment Notice, that is NOA2. That is finger print letter. So you should wait NOA1 for extend your expiration.




but can you receive the fingerprint appointment before you receive NOA1 ?
also I forgot to mention that on the envelope the "from address" is US Department of Homeland Security, Laguna Niguel, Ca 92607-0111

some people get the NOA first , some people get the biometrics appointment letter first...

but they usually come around the same time so you should be getting your NOA/extension notice soon good.gif

If you have not already done so, provide supporting documents to assist USCIS in processing your petition and to establish eligibility to remove the conditional basis of your permanent residence. Please include a copy of this receipt with any supporting documents you submit...


so I guess you could send in any extra evidence you might get after you mail off the package after you get the NOA...

A maximum of 90 days prior to the expiration of the conditional card. (90 days does not = 3 months).

Why does everyone keep saying that 90 days is not the same as 3 months?

For all intents and purposes 90 days = 3 months.

What, are they going to reject your petition if you send it in 91 days before the deadline? blink.gif

they might....

lets say your expiration date is November 14th.... so 3 months would be August 14th.. but that is 93 days according to my rough calculations.... USCIS has to have some cut-off date... or they could say hey it is only 3 days or hey it is only 5 days...

Thanks for your replies it's helped me relax a lil. The only thing is I can only get one affidavit from a girl friend of mine, I had asked another friend but she is to busy and won't be able to get it notarized. do you think it's worth only including one affidavit? or should i just leave it out all together?
what makes you think that affidavit from friends must be notarized??? just prepare a document for your busy friend so she can just sign it.


An affidavit is a formal sworn statement of fact, written down, signed, and witnessed (as to the veracity of the signature) by a taker of oaths, such as a notary public. The name is Medieval Latin for he has declared upon oath.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionHow bad it could be, if I change my address after I send my application out?
AR-11 Online

QUOTE
Most customers can now notify USCIS to change their address on a pending case online here on our website. Non-citizens can also now complete the Form AR-11 online here on our website.

If you choose to change your address online using our Online Change of Address Notification tool, you will need to have some information available. Please have the following information available before you begin:

* Your receipt notice or other notice we sent you showing your receipt number (if you have a pending case with USCIS).
* Your new address
* Your old address
* If you have filed a petition for a family member, please have the names and biographical information for that person.
* When you last entered the United States (if you cannot remember this information please fill in an approximate date)
* Where you last entered the United States (through what port of entry you entered - whether by land, sea or air)






QUOTE
How Do I Report My Change of Address?

If you are not a U.S. citizen, changing your address for legal purposes does not change your address on any application or petition pending with USCIS and changing your address on a pending application or petition does not meet the legal requirements of informing USCIS of your change of address. You will need to do both. For most cases, you can now do both at the same time on our website using the Electronic Change of Address tool (available under "Related Links" on this page).

With the exception noted above, all non-U.S. citizens who move within the United States and its territories must submit a Form AR-11 within 10 days after completing the change of address. You can do that here on our website with the Electronic Change of Address tool. If you choose to use this online tool, you can complete an electronic Form AR-11 and notify USCIS to update your address on most pending cases.

If you choose not to complete an electronic Form AR-11, you will be required to obtain a paper Form AR-11 and mail it to the address shown on the form. This will delay the process of notifying USCIS significantly. Not filing an electronic AR-11 and choosing to mail in a paper AR-11 will not update your address on any applications or petitions pending with USCIS.

Regardless of whether or not you are a U.S. citizen, if you choose not to use the electronic change of address notification, you will need to call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 to request that the address on your pending application/petition be changed. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you will also need to complete a paper Form AR-11.

If you are not a U.S. citizen and you have a case pending with USCIS, you will need to do both – call customer service and complete the paper AR-11. Completing an AR-11 does not update your address on any pending case. Also, notifying customer service does not meet the legal requirement of completing an AR-11.

If you mail a paper Form AR-11, we recommend using certified, registered or return receipt mail. This is not currently a requirement of USCIS, however it is advisable to send the AR-11 by a method that will give you documentation that you did mail the form to USCIS, in case there should ever be a question.

my thinking is that a child would file separately if for some reason they got their green card after or before the parent did.. so their green card would have a different expiry date on it...
