Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 October 2012 filers	those people up in vermont... they prob go on 45 min coffee breaks, twice a day... 90 min lunch breaks... and 15 min cig break every other hour... and work 9am-4pm... -applejuice Haha...yeah, probably true. However they adjudicate all of the "MESS" that a lot of people send in and more than likely non of us will have interviews so all in all it is not a big deal. I think ROC is the easiest part of immigration, assuming no hiccups in processing. I feel like there is really nothing to do but just keep on with everyday life and check in once in awhile on status.	garfield529	Male	China	2012-11-04 12:05:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 October 2012 filers	Hey all, we received our biometrics letter today, and I have already updated the list, but I was curious if anyone knows if we can do a walk-in like with AOS? I ask because the appt time they gave us is not super convenient.	garfield529	Male	China	2012-10-25 20:07:00

Philippines	Planning to bring foods in U.S	I have often travelled with food from Thailand and have never had problems. When I moved to St. Louis for a year I had a carton that was full of edibles like instant noodles (Mama!), sauces, Thai candy, etc. Never had problems with custom, never had anything removed when bags were checked. (Of course I would have carried much less if I knew how much was easily available in St. Louis. I'll do better this time around.)	stardusted	Female	Thailand	2008-05-25 22:54:00

We met while working together at Dragonette, Inc. 3. My husband, XXXXX, and I regularly socialize with Mindy and Vincent. We enjoy meeting them for lunch or dinner in Chicago’s western suburbs. It is always a treat to watch Vincent try new foods and learn about other cultures via some of the ethnic restaurants we’ve visited. I admire Mindy for her efforts to acclimate Vincent to his new life in the United States. She explains foods and customs that are unfamiliar to him, and reminds him to slow down when he speaks. Vincent’s enthusiasm for his life with Mindy is delightful, but the more excited he gets, the faster he speaks. 4. Vincent enjoys talking about his job experiences. It is obvious when talking to him that he is a proud man and a hard worker. He takes his work seriously and wants to continue to make a good life for himself and his wife. 5. Mindy told me about her relationship with Vincent four years ago. I’ve know her for a long time and it was apparent that Vincent was very special to her. In 22 years, I’ve socialized with Mindy a lot, but our best time together was at her engagement party. I was thrilled that my good friend had found the love of her life in Vincent. He was just as excited about their pending marriage as she was. The complement each other and together make a great team.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 February 2011 Filers	I'm approved! Got the letter in the mail today. Date of decision: 05/03/2011. Quick question, at the top, where there is my name and address, they put only an initial and my last name (initial could be first name initial or middle name initial, it's the same letter). Was this the way it was for you all? I just wonder if that's normal or if it's a mistake and that my GC will have this instead of my full name...	Cecile and Bryan	Female	France	2011-05-06 18:47:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	seeking advice/feedback I-751 evidence list	Has she met your parents/family? The will be looking for pics of family association on her side and yours. This is not always absolute. As far as pics go, if your interview is a week from now or later you have time to get some pics together and around folks. If you take only a few pics that do not demonstrate that you are actively living a "life" together, it could bring you under more scrutiny. I know this is kind of playing to the interviewer, but you should use a little tripod or the "hold your arm way out" method and get some more pics together. We don't take a lot of pics together either, but made it a point to do so for the interview. Actually, I can say that we haven't taken many pics together since that time! haha Good luck, bro!	garfield529	Male	China	2011-04-28 08:59:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	do we have to have photos for i751	As far as the picture issue goes, maybe just make a point of taking some together in the next week and try to include other family members. I know it is common to not take as many pics together, especially if it is just the two of you most of the time, but it won't hurt to bulk up a little. As far as your other evidence, you might want to also include joint utility bills, credit card statements. Just something more dynamic showing ongoing relationship. Adding someone to a lease or policy is good too, just less dynamic. This seems to be the least risky and troublesome portion of the journey. I will be happy when we are doing this next year! Good luck, bro!	garfield529	Male	China	2011-05-24 11:16:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Please help! Very worried	If you have had your biometrics, then your application has been accepted. It is possible to get an RFE, which is quick to fix, just have the taxes ready in an envelope to mail back if an RFE arrives. Otherwise, make sure that you take EVERYTHING with you to the interview (copies/originals from the submission) and including your taxes.	garfield529	Male	China	2012-02-03 12:13:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 October 2012 filers	Hey CSC, way to do something!  My wife received her approval letter today, dated 5/16/13.  Please update the list and good luck to all!	garfield529	Male	China	2013-05-20 20:41:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 October 2012 filers	I didn't prepare the package myself, the lawyer's office did, but I remember providing them with bank statements up to september 2012, the USCIS is saying that the evidence provided doesn't show that me and my husband share responsibility for most of the assets and liabilities of the marriage and that we have not sent sufficient examples of shared assets and liabilities spanning the period of the marriage to share that we have continuously shared a life together.       It sounds like your lawyer is less organized and prepared to do his job than the rest of the typical VJ community.  Sorry for the RFE but you should be able to take care of this.  Best of luck!	garfield529	Male	China	2013-05-04 16:57:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 October 2012 filers	You have at least 2 more months waiting... FYI, approval rates here in ROC forum monthly threads as of yesterday are... CSC: May 86%, June 82%, July 45%, Aug 5% VSC: May 59%, June 61%, July 19%, Aug 0% Well, we had at least two more months. Now we will have to see if there will be an impact on processing times due to the sequester. Hope not!!! ^___^	garfield529	Male	China	2013-03-08 11:13:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Sample Affidavit Questions	Hey all, Three simple questions. 1) The VJ sample Affidavit has at the top of the first page underneath the words "UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY" this thing: #A _________________________ Am I correct in assuming that this is a typo, meant to be A # ________________________ where the immigrant spouse's alien number goes? 2) Does the notary public have a special form that the person who is going to sign the affidavit (our friends) needs to fill out? Can they just fill this form as it appears in the sample affidavit (same format that is), removing of course the words [NOTARIAL SEAL] for where the seal is supposed to go? I am asking because a friend of mine has no computer and she wants to just write it out herself using black ink. If the notary public has a special form, she could just adjust what she wrote to fit in that form, then swear and sign it. Is such a thing possible? 3) Does an affidavit have to be one page long or can it be more than one pages long? Thanks in advance for any help! Real Pi	RealPi	Male	Greece	2010-06-13 02:10:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	1040 tax return for i-751	You can call them and have them fax it over to you while you're on the phone with them. Thanks for the input I guess I will probably do so in the end. Unfortunately we don't have a fax machine or indeed a phone line for that matter . We have separate broadband installed in the building. We use our cellphones instead for everything, even as a doorbell... But apart from this, it would be nice to know how one is meant to complete this form. I believe it could come in handy in future. Does this mean I am the only one who has attempted to complete a 4506-T? LOL! I guess I feel ... "special" :>	RealPi	Male	Greece	2010-06-11 22:27:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	1040 tax return for i-751	You will most likely be RFEd for them. It's either IRS tax transcripts OR 1040/W2/1099. I am still a little uncertain on this as well. I just posed a separate question on the topic and although I have received partial answers I am still unclear on some points. To obtain IRS transcripts we need to complete Form 4506-T (request for Transcript of Tax Return). What do we need to input in part 6 (Transcript Requested)? Obviously "1040" for most of us, but I mean: do we tick 6a (Return Transcript) or 6b (Account Transcript)? (We did our joint tax returns on time each year and both times we got a refund from the IRS, no penalty/adjudication scenarios etc). What does USCIS need? And furthermore do we also need to tick Part 8 (Form W-2, Form 1099 Series, or Form 5498 series transcript)? My understanding is that is needed only if one loses their own W-2s etc. and need the info there.	RealPi	Male	Greece	2010-06-11 21:24:00
