IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCan the IRA be used as income to support the I-864?

I am having the same confusion only as I am still living at home with parents and work cash on hand jobs mostly and we have over 10,000 dollars saved for when my fiancee moves here and we can actually start a real life together and move out so I know I am going to have troubles filling the papers in to show I can support him. do you know how I should go about this??? and as far as the IRA stuff.....I feel like with that money coming in on top of her job income you should be okay but just show you combined them. pay stubs and tax return forms are what they ask for too... GOOD LUCK W UR INTERVIEW IN A COUPLE WEEKS!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNEWBIE FILING FOR K1
thank you both for responding so fast!! and yes I have read the link u sent over n over just to make sure I have everything on the check list lol. He went and applied for a B2 visa a couples months ago so that he could stay with me longer in the states and he was denied. thus we decided the k1 would be the best way to be together and start a real life....should we include a short statement about his denial and add it to the package?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNEWBIE FILING FOR K1
HIII everyone!! I always look on here to see peoples posts so I decided to finally sign up!! Me and my fiance are trying to finish up all the paper work for the K1 visa and get it sent ASAP like this week. We want it to be as perfect as we can so we dont have to go through complications with filling anything out wrong.

For those who have sent yours already, which is the best place to send it to be filed?? I'm seeing Vermont & California and then a USCIS Dallas Lockbox...not sure which I'm suppose to send to. I'm from Orlando and he is from the UK so I know his embassy is London.

Also....who do we make the check/money order out to?? Any and ALL help is appreciated. we want this so bad and know it takes time & lots of patience :)

US Citizenship General DiscussionA few naturalisation questions

Only time I showed birth certificates for my two girls (wife and daughter) was for their AOS and all the USCIS received was copies of those made on my own copying machine as with any other document we submitted. But did have to bring those originals in at the interviews. Also carried every original document out.

For the I-751, better mark your calendar to send that in exactly 90 days before those conditional green cards expire, it was strictly copies, never required any originals except for those two letters of affidavits. Also was two 450 mile trips for, besides the I-751 fee, was an extra 80 bucks for my stepdaughter, the second trip was because they were so damned slow in processing, had to take my two girls in for an I-551 stamp in their current valid foreign passports. But really don't need those, also can bring in two passport photos and apply for an I-94 extension. They didn't charge us extra for that.

Really the only way to be naturalized in the USA is to be born here. Since I was and if I committed a felony and sent to prison, would just lose my voting rights. If my wife or stepdaughter did, after receiving their US citizenship, can be deported as well. Both do have US passports and can travel anywhere I can with mine, except to their home country, there, they have to maintain citizenship in their home countries, because our DOS insists on placing their place of birth in their US passports.

Only cost to us was that standard N-400 fee and 19 cents for a Walgreen's print out for six photos, but they don't even use those anymore as use that terrible photo they took of you at your biometrics. Was also three 450 mile trips for us, 1,350 miles. One for biometrics, another for the interview, and the third for that lip syncing oath ceremony. That is one time we left a document, the green card. Since my stepdaughter turned barely 18, couldn't tailgate her mom, had to wait two more years with another full fee and another 1,350 miles of driving. But if she was under 18, would have cost another 600 bucks for the N-600, but only one 450 mile trip for us.

USCIS does not send you a reminder for the I-751, its up to you to keep yourself legal.







"Really the only way to be naturalized in the USA is to be born here. Since I was and if I committed a felony and sent to prison, would just lose my voting rights. If my wife or stepdaughter did, after receiving their US citizenship, can be deported as well"

 

I don't want to start anything by saying this, but I find this part of your statement particularly troublesome, and misleading. Going to prison will eliminate your voting rights, but you will still have the right to live, work, and stay in this country as a citizen. How do I know? it happened to  a person I know. However, if you are only a permanent resident, going to prison will most certainly get you deported. Just my two cents.

US Citizenship General DiscussionPleas advice next step- N400 pending from Apr 2013

Hello, 

 

I cannot give you much advise, since I don't know either. But, it seems to me your case is out of processing time (120 days from Interview), and you need to take actions. Hopefully somebody else can give more input.

 

Good Luck.

 

 

Hello VJers,

Can you please advise me on the next step to take? I filed N400 based on 5 years since my wife and I divorced in 2011. I successfully removed conditions with a divorce waiver in May 2012.

I filed N400 April 2013
Completed biometrics May 2013
Interviewed Sept 2013

The interviewer told me I passed the civic test but a decision cannot be made.

I have called and spoke to a tier 2 twice which I was told that my case is still pending adjudication.

I had an infopass on Monday Feb 10 and was also told that my case is still pending and the officer has not made a decision yet.

Please tell me what my next move should be.
I am not sure if I should contact my congressman, senator, ombudsman or file a writ of mandamus.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Good at least now you can finish the journey lol. 

 

Still no news about my Oath ceremony. It is very frustrating 

 

 

Now, I know that if you did or requested a name change, it will take probably longer. That is the only explanation why you have not received oath letter yet.

Got a test message and email, that I have been schedule for the interview. My guess the actual letter will be here within a couple of days. will post the date once I get it. But something tells me it is going to be somewhere within the third or fourth week of next month. Because, Orlando Field Office schedules them about a full month from the notification. 

 

Have a nice weekend and Happy Valentine to everyone.

Congratulations and good luck with your life abroad!. 

 

 

Just got back to the hotel from the Oath Ceremony. Only three people was there. We got started a little late because the third person showed up late. When i checked in, they took my green card and handed me a packet that contained a letter from the president welcoming me as a citizen, a passport application form, a book about the US, a copy of the constitution, a copy of the oath of allegiance, and a folder to hold my certificate upon receiving it. The three of us went bck to the Oath room and the officer gave us a quick over view of what we need to do after the oath. Which was make sure we update Social Security of our Naturalization and talked about passports. As soon as we left, we headed toward the passport center. But we arrived to late they only except walkins till 2:30 pm. THey told us to come back tomorrow since we have military orders they can except us as a walk in. So it feels great to be through with USCIS.happy.png Good luck to the rest of you on your journey.

same here, no mail, just email.


trocheroMaleVenezuela2014-01-25 11:25:00
US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 December 2013 Filers

I don't believe ones gets to 'inline' status after background checks. I had my bio done on 01/03/14 which was a friday and I was put 'inline' on 01/07/14 which is the immediate Tuesday afterwards. How could they complete a background check in one business day? Seems very unlikely.

 

I respectfully disagree with you. every applicant will go to in-line after the backgrounds checks clears. The issue itself it HOW long the background check takes.

If you have a bio done within the last 15 months(USCIS adjudicator manual), the systems clears your name way faster, my opinion.

 

early walk-in bios, Do help to move the process forward. My original bio date was 1/27, but I did walk-in on 1/13. I was put in line-for interview on 1/24. Have I wait until 1/27 my in-line date would have been two more weeks from 1/27.

 

The Only thing, I am absolutely sure, it is that you cannot take the Oath until, either your 3 or 5 years are complete. Thus, my guess is USCIS book interviews based on some kind of system that takes that date into consideration.


trocheroMaleVenezuela2014-01-25 11:21:00
US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 December 2013 Filers

This is not true fully. Yes you will be inline only after background is done either way.

 

But if you file 90 days before your anniversary and say you finished biometric after two weeks you file, there is noway your case will move to inline 30 days before anniversary even if the background  check clears.

 

I agree with you.

Got My biometrics done today, it was an early Walk-in. Not too many people, I was in & out in about 20 minutes. 

Lets see now, how much time it will take to get In-line for the interview.

 

Fingers crossed, one step closer.

I received the letter for the Bio, it is on Jan 27th, will try to do a walk in early next week. Orlando ASC is usually almost empty, going overseas next week, and want to take care of that before leaving.

 

have a good weekend everybody!

Well yesterday turned into a big disaster. I went to USCIS Website to see if the numerous times Monday night and checked 3 times Monday morning to see if the St Louis Office was closed since it was closed on Monday. It did not show the office as being closed so left at 4 am. It was a long trip to St Louis with snow covered Interstate, it took 4 hours to travel 200 miles. At 8 am I decided to Call USCIS to make sure the office was open. I was informed at this time that the office was closed for the day. We were only 45 minutes away, so it took another 4 hours to drive back home. I decided to check the website and to no surprise it was still not listed as closed go figure. I was informed that when the office opens back up we can go back and see if they will do the biometrics because it is done case by case in-between regular scheduled appointments. So decided to just wait for the new appointment to be scheduled. After the office being closed for 2 days and maybe even today the office will be packed with walk-ins. So now the wait goes on again. Glad to hear that others are getting their bio's done. Have a great day. 

 

 

I know you are 200 miles away from the ASC, but re-scheduling will put you behind...I am sure the people at the ASC knows lots of applicants could not make it on time. Thus, If I were you, I'll try one more time before asking for re-scheduling. Play the "200 miles trip" card to the people at the ASC and see if that get is done. just my opinion.

Paulette, trochero, the person who hired me is originally from Venezuela, nicest guy ever. You guys rule! I feel so blessed to be working with such a great person wink.png

 

 

 

 

Thank you the complement. I wish you good luck in your new career! 


trocheroMaleVenezuela2014-01-08 16:14:00
US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 December 2013 Filers

I have a question for y'all so you know what happens if you change your name? I was looking at the requirements to change your name on the tx drivers license and they ask for a court document I don't think that the naturalization paper will be sufficient will we get one? And if so when? Thank you!

 

 

Paulette, I can only tell you, that requesting a name change through the Naturalization process will push back your process a good four to five additional months.

While analyzing the data from Trackitt.com/N400, all cases beyond the ten month timeframe, were those cases.

 

I am not expert, but know this much; If you request a name change way of the N400, will have to be approve by a judge (the 4 to 5 months delay I mentioned), once  this is done, your Naturalization certificate will have your new name. your Local DMV office will have no other choice  but to change your name smile.png

 

The craziest thing to do, will be to try to change your name after the Naturalization process. If you did not mark  the box for the name change in the N400 submitted already, during the interview process you can amend that, given you notify the officer of your intentions. 

 

Good luck....but really  think about it...there are some horror stories about Naturalization cases of people you requested a name change.

Hey guys - happy 2014 and 2014 citizenship smile.png

 

Question: can I do an early walk-in tomorrow or Friday without having received the biometrics letter yet? (I do have the case number) I start a new job next Monday (yay!) and wouldn't like to be late to work in the next week or two doing the bio :/ I want to focus on the new job and not to have to explain those things so early on...

 

 

You need the letter for the bio appointment, No doubts.

 

Good luck in your new job.

Officially "in-line" for interview as of Dec. 31 smile.png:)smile.png:)

 

 

waooo, this is really Fast! You sent the application on Dec 02...that is under a month for receiving, clearing FP, and line for interview. Thus, my guess, based on the data I have seen all over, your interview notification should be not later than a month away.

 

Good luck, and keep us posted!
