Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

GC received yesterday January 25th.

I am still amazed that an organization like the USCIS is sending Green Cards in a regular envelope, with no signature required, with the origin (Laguna Niguel), clearly stated on the outside of the envelope. Oh well...

Congrats Angus82 and the rest, I am traveling out of the country next week and was hoping i'll get mine before but the letter will do.
We will be away for 3 weeks, I hope our tiny mail box doesn't get crowded by the time we get back

Make sure you take the original letter with you... we're speaking from experience

CA Application Center submission here... yes, there's a couple of us left!
I just called the USCIS, they said they can't submit a special status request because the system won't let them do it since it says that her application will take another 20 to 25 days based on normal timelines.
I explained that her processing time was way out of the normal range for the CSC but he said he can't do anything since the system won't let him enter the request.
We'll see and I will call back in a month.

We're last for CSC, no RFE received, Angela's file has been put at the bottom of the pile or worst, sent to the Vermont Service Center

We'll call the USCIS when she's back from Brazil, she's been through another ordeal because she was not carrying the original of the letter of extension.

There is a topic on this subject.
http://www.visajourn...ru-please-help/

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Yey. We are down to 2 more approvals pending for May under CSC unless Tricia has been approved already, just forgot to update cause her RFE date was way back October.

See you in Naturalization page next year.

We're CSC and we've now hit the 6-month mark from NOA1 date. What's the number to call or is it the (800) 375-5283 number listed on the receipt notice under the Laguna Niguel address?
Congrats to all May filers who have received their new GC.

C.A It will....come, soon

My unsolicited advise is, as soon as you hit the 6 month mark, call them so at least they know somebody is waiting. I know its lame but there's no harm of trying. I did and I got an answer even the person on the other line said i have to wait for another 9 days. If that's a mere coincidence that's fine. The good thing is...there's result.

Good Luck and Keep the Faith.

You're probably just wasting your time, unfortunately!

I'm sorry you're still waiting. However, you're not alone amongst the CSC filers! Do you have your Biometrics receipt number so you can check your status online?

There's a few ways to look at it when more than two thirds of your fellow filers at the CSC have already received their approval:
- VSC filers are really really worse off...
- We're not last at CSC... yet!

We've been waiting too, and nothing. But then our entire journey has been less than easy from the very beginning and we're always placed at the end of the pile... and maybe this time they sent our file to Vermont

Anyway, Angela has her one-year extension, and then we're busy with our baby so we don't care if the extension will be approved next May.

We're gathering the information this week-end, then next week-end we should have the two affidavits from our friends and we hope to mail the package before the end of the month, so I guess we will be May filers. By the way, do these affidavits have to be "sworn to or affirmed" by a notary or will their signature suffice?

Bank of America Secured Card

Angela just got approved on a Secured Credit Card from Wells Fargo.
It's the same as the BofA Secured Credit Card, except the yearly fee is $18 instead of $29 for BofA.
After one year she can convert to a standard Credit Card.
https://www.wellsfar..._cards/secured/

I also added her to my own Chase Credit Card, but it is still unclear to me if a 'joint' cardholder has the same rights when it comes to FICO score as the primary account holder. That's why we went the secured Credit Card way too.

It turns out we did not get any email, the USCIS web site is still not updated, but we don't care because we got the NOA2 in the mail today. I still can't believe it!

To all of you, thank you for your support (past, present and future).
For those of you who are still waiting, remember, the NOA2 always arrives when you least expect it

I am heading to Brazil on Sunday, I am thrilled, I will meet my love and we won't have that big heavy weight on our chests.

HIS VISA WAS APPROVED!! He doesn't have it in his hands yet, but he's waiting for it. Ahhhhhh. Thank you everyone for being so supportive. I will write more later. I'll be even HAPPIER when he calls me to say that the visa is IN his passport.

I wish the best to all those who are still waiting. Everything will work out for everyone.

Stevi,

Well if this can give you any hope, Angela received her passport today, and THE VISA WAS IN IT! We were so relieved.
She was not home when the envelope arrived, it was sitting there on the table, and I just kept looking at it not knowing if it was a 'yes' or a 'no', and thinking our entire life was depending on it.

So I hope your "conditional approval" will be the same as ours, they will give you the visa once the papers are in. I think they asked the new documents just to make you wait a bit longer, some of these officers obviously like to make people feel miserable.

I think they abuse their powers and I am wondering if with Obama at the helm things will change. I hope he will make the CIS and DHS better agencies, with more friendly people, like they did for the IRS many years back.

Good luck, you're nearly there...

Yeah, it's not yet the break of day in California....today's a new week and your NOA2 is on its way! I was thinking about something that the ex-service center worker said. He said that some people have the privalage of taking boxes home with them and working on the petitions at home. So, what if your petition was brought home with one of the workers. That might be causing the delay...cause now to be notified about your NOA2 they have to bring the box back to the office. It's been long enough since your 'touches' though, so if that is the case, they must be bringing the box back REALLY soon! I'm sure it's coming soon!

Good luck!

It is important to keep in mind that the marriage (to the same spouse you adjusted status with) must have celebrated its third anniversary before the 90-day advance filing comes into effect. For us it means waiting only a day but that day saves a voluuntary withdrawal or denial.

I 131 in case my wife doesn't pass the test..

We are a year and a half away from filing, but I understand your wife's trepidation about taking an exam in English. For us it is not the lenghthy travel but the ability to claim Social Security in Thailand.

I am not sure what your wife's stumbling block is - a helpful resource is the Seattle Public Library's citizenship guides, especially the Thai translation of the '100-question' civic exam:

http://www.spl.org/a...p-help#booklets

and their introductory video to the interview process:

http://www.seattlech...deo.asp?ID=4681

It might also be helpful to play the audio version of the questions on the USCIS on a MPEG player set to random play while walking. If you can't convert the CD versions to MPEGs (Windows Media Player will do the job) send me a message and I will forward them to you.

Check to see if you have enough frequent flier miles or if another relative does - tickets usually run about 35,000 miles and can be re-scheduled at less cost than a cash ticket.

Try to see if you can 'purchase' with frequent flier miles. AA let us purchase her one way ticket Bangkok-Hong Kong-San Francisco as there were seats available and the cost is reasonable. May be a way around the fraud controls they have set up for her country.

Suggestion Booking Fiance Ticket back to USA with me

Check to see if your frequent flier account has enough miles for a one way ticket. If so you will not pay the one-way ticket premium and have a less expensive way to move date than most purchsed tickets.

Who's bought a plane ticket before visa received?

I booked my fiancee visa, a week after the interview so we were kinda bold i would say, but we got the passport just 2 days before we flew back together to the states.

Give a few days after the visa for safety, in case the courier don't bring the visa on time anything can happen.

Don't purchase Tickets in advance going for a tourist visa, what you can get from your travel agent is an Itenary, usually it's valid for a week, ONLY after you get the visa then you can confirmed the reservation, Even the consulate understand the situation, did it like that for my sister in law, it works perfect now she has a 10 year B2 tourist visa, she can come to see us anytime, she was there last Christmas, this year we are going to try for my father in law to come down.
