US Citizenship General DiscussionGreen Card holder - Outside USA for over 1 year

The person have had re-entry permits before and now is not able to obtain one.   He needs to stay with his parents and is unable to come to the USA this year (He's been coming to the USA annually with no problems).  I thought there may be a procedure to reenter due to family reasons.

US Citizenship General DiscussionGreen Card holder - Outside USA for over 1 year

I was wondering if there is a way to get back to the USA if a green card holder is outside the USA for over a period of 1 year or even longer.   I am not sure what the process is and if it possible. 

 

Thank you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresF-1 Visa - Packet 3 & 4 process

Thank you, Hikegirl.  We will be waiting for the Canadian visa aproval which should take place this month in order to avoid additional delays if we get married in Poland or transfer out the visa application to Poland. 

I found this thread that should help you track down the info:  http://www.visajourn...rent-consulate/

 

I wouldn?t suggest getting married in Poland as you would have to start over though but for the CR-1.

Thanks for the reply. I understand that my fiance needs to be legally on Canada and so he's waiting for the visa approval which he should have this month unless Canadian government decides not to extend it for whatever reason.

I also wonder if the fiance visa can be transferred out to the American consulate in Poland should he not receive his Canadian visa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresF-1 Visa - Packet 3 & 4 process

Hello all,

 

My fiancé who is currently in Montreal, Canada, has recently submitted Packet 3 to the Montreal office for processing.   He is a citizen of Poland who has been living legally in Canada until March 2013 and reapplied for extension of status which supposedly takes 100 days.  In the mean time, it has been about 8 months of the F-1 visa process. I have a newborn now and live in New York waiting for the approval.  In the mean time, I received an email from the Montreal US Embassy that until my finance receives the status approval in Canada, they are unable to process my visa.  I am stuck now since I have a month old baby.  Any suggestions?  I was thinking to go to Poland with him and get married so we could apply for green card which will take another few months....

 

Thank you all in advance for all your input on this.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 affidavit of support, #11

#11 of i-134 asks whether I intend or not intend "to make specific contributions to the support of the person(s) named in item 3.  --- I assume I should check that I intend to do so.   Later, it says that if you intend to support the individual named in item 3, "indicate the exact nature and duration of the contributions." Do I need to say that I will support room and board and how much money I will give and for how long??? How did you all deal with it?

 

Thanks!

NVC focuses on current and the most recent year income. My husband was below the 2nd and 3rd years as well and we had no issues.

 

Now, the consulate/embassy have their own guidelines, so at the time of the interview, a joint sponsor may be requested, but you never know.

Thanks Saylin

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2014

So I got my NVC case number today, I know it was today because I called as soon as they opened and nothing, and then called right now and I got it :)
I knew it would be today, hence double call, because of the database. so yey!

Anyway they gave me IIN & BIN but said they couldn't take email yet because it had just been entered, when should I call to provide it? Should I try monday or give it 2-3 days?


I am all for calling often, but only if I legitimately think something can change because a) one time I asked and that person had a record of my previous calls which was a little bit intimidating. Probably explains why they are not as nice to people who call often.

 

By the way, the spreadsheet currently says someone got their case number on Saturday, April 19....  NVC is closed saturdays as far as I know and I think for sakes of avoiding issues dates should be kept in relation to location of NVC as in Eastern Time Zone. I mean otherwise it may create innacurate results for what day is covered.

 

 

Snipe, your timeline says NVC received your case on April 14. is it right ?

its a holiday...   I am actually excited for the coming week.  My mom was asking whenI am flying to Costa Rica. She is 83 so I had to explain the process a bit more and she just shook her head and said " that's the US government"   LOL LOL LOL

 

 

Ughhhh I just want to book my flight.

 

 

on a relaxing note.... I spent the day at the pool with my 22 year old daughter. Ate breakfast with her at the Sweet Briar Café in my town ( she paid)  After the pool, ,my mom made spaghetti for us.  

 

Yesterday my husband helped me  (over the phone) get rid of the CHECK ENGINE light in my car. My car was in the shop and they replaced the steering column. The battery had to be recharged so it messed up the sensor for the check engine light. 

 

Also replaced the ceiling fan in my bedroom with the help of my daughter .   I called my husband to tell him this is "husband $hit"  you need to be here to help me !!! :rofl:

 

lollllllllllll   :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  it seems u had a great day

Anyway, I'm sitting in the clinic (I'm in a clinical trial for a new migraine medication) and the nurse just asked me what book I was reading (I'm on my tablet), I told her Visa Journey. It's a dramedy :-D

Also,  :ot: but, I got my first, very own car yesterday and thought I'd share the great news with you awesome folks :) It's a brand new, 2014 Prius. Only had 1 mile on it! I've wanted this car for years and years and finally got one! Although, I definitely wasn't expecting to get one, lol. I've been having car issues with the hand-me-down I received 2 years ago and my husband merely suggested I test drive one (since I never had before). Few hours later, ended up driving this off the lot  :jest: The 50 mpg is nice though :D

Thanks, etrangais.

I already got the 2012, 2011 and 2010 transcripts from IRS, but not the year 2013.

 

So I just curious about how did LoveMyTico get the year 2013 transcripts while IRS told me it's not going be available till June 15.

Did you request it online or phone? Thanks.

Go on irs.gov and you'll find the way to print your transcript online. you have to create an account, provide you social, address etc...my husband did it.

You can always buy 2 of them, one for each :P Although, I believe you can use one for 2 cats, you'd just have to change it more often.

 

Dear Saylin,

 

I fill my DS261 on may 6 and pay AOS fee on may 7. But I still can click to edit DS261. do you think I can add an agent just to get IV fee invoiced ? I see people who have an agent have AOS and IV fee invoiced together.

I was too stunned to ask when I was given the date before. I'm on hold now to try and get some clarification. If they're still scheduling for August and they just started, it must be random as my husband's interview is the last business day of the month. I can understand if the interviews are by PD.

 

 

Bdrew, I think you can contact the embassy directly to change the date.
