Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionHow long????
OK, I called the 800 number (375 5283) and was immediately picked up (impressive!) I was then transferred to another customer service rep. who informed me that they just received the package (???). It has taken 30 days to get from the mail room to an individual case officer (not so impressive). So thankfully, they do have it. good.gif

I don't like the last post though where the 11 to 12 months process time was mentioned. Does that mean we have to get another permission to travel if we want to head out of the country ?

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionHow long????
Sent off the paperwork to Vermont on 10/24/2008, but as of this date, 11/23/2008, I haven't heard a dicky bird even though the USPS shows it as being delivered. The check hasn't been cashed and the USCIS web site shows processing for the I-751 stuck back in December of 2007.

What kind of time frame can I expect?

Why would the person in question want to stay here if their spouse dies? Especially if they came here JUST to be with their other half. Seems like they would want to return to their homeland to be with their family. Chances are they'd end up on welfare here anyway and depending on our government to support them, God knows we have enough of our own here doing that. It makes sense to me that they should be asked to leave.


I suppose this is an example of being to the right of Attila the Hun.

FYI: The lead in the story was a brazilian with a child born to her husband in the US. The husband had a heart attack at an early age and he died. Currently the widow is living with her in-laws who are helping in raising their grandchild. I can see absolutely no reason why a legal resident shouldn't be allowed to stay and raise her child here in the United States. Another widow's husband was killed while in Iraq on government service(I believe there are a number of widow's in the same situation). It is a great disservice to, and a great dishonour to the deceased service men to try and deport their widows.
