Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionThis is messed up.
no la - they won't talk to you, it's her greencard.

Come on - she can use telephone, inquire for casefile status, easy peasy, aye?

Suggest to make flashcards , and practice with her, if you think it's useful.

It's very easy to talk to human at USCIS - just dial the #, touch nothing else on the keypad, wait about 4 to 6 minutes, then BOOM - a human comes on, starts talking in spanish. When the human unwinds, comes to a stop, say 'English Please' and ask for casefile status and when the card is being mailed out.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionSo what happens if Examiner rejects us again?
tax stuff?

walk into the local IRS office on Thursday, request tax transcripts,
wait 30 minutes, then walk out with them.

Use the transcripts for your RFE evidence.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 Interview Scheduled (Wife not here)
what day is she scheduled to return to the USA, from this 'study abroad' program?

why not ask USCIS , after an actual interview has been scheduled, to reschedule after that return date?

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionDivorce case disposed what to do?
if she has a greencard, she can file for divorce with no worries.

once the divorce is finalized, she can file for ROC, ticking the 'divorced' box on the form.
It's still on her to show evidence of a bonafide marriage, though.

side note - man - what a hot mess ! like steaming poo !

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionMigrate to H1B?
if you currently have green card, a 2 year card,
you can ROC on your own after the divorce.

study the ROC form, there's a tickbox for divorce.
The onus is on you to furnish bonafide marriage evidence - bear that in mind.

there's also timing issues with filing the ROC, as well.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionMigrate to H1B?
you can get a tax transcript of that tax return , from the IRS, about 6 weeks to 10 weeks after she actually files the tax return.

Since you won't be living at the same address, suggest you go in person to the IRS, wait for the printout at the office.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion2-years GC, marriage failed, what now?
Study the ROC form, and file for divorce.
After you have receipt of filing, is safe to file the ROC.

Be prepared to handle an RFE for the divorce decree, so work out your calendar , aye?


Strongly suggest you file for divorce on Monday - you do not need to have his address to file.

Then file the ROC with a copy of the divorce filing receipt about 8 days before yer ROC deadline expires.

Good Luck !

1,2,3 are primary evidence of financial co-mingling.
Financial co-mingling is one of the major categories for evidence for the removal of conditions, leading to a 10 year card.

Sorry, now you must generate secondary , minor evidence since you don't have any of this primary evidence type.

No, I am serious, 2 days more, then on the 3rd day, freak out, officially.

USPS tracking info is lagged, always. Coupla paths for today, aye?

1. assume it wasn't delivered today because no one there to handle the signature stuff. USPS will attempt tomorrow.
2. no signature required? just delivery confirmation? physical address? probably not attempted today - they try tomorrow - must be some snow or short staffing.

Relax, you. Seriously !

You know it. I'm going to wait for the NOA1 or check cashed before going to get my $18. Hey, $18 is 10 bundles of spinach. I love that sh*t sauteed with some salt, olive oil and skin on shrimp, and hint of hot pepper.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionRemoving conditions and EAD (Confused)
is possible that you are remembering it wrong.

Sure, it can be part of the advice given during an AOS interview, but usually as a caveat with 'If you don't receive your greencard by the time your EAD expires, you can apply for an EAD renewal'.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionLost biometrics appointment letter
show up ahead of time. Tell the guards you lost the letter, show your ID.
Usually they can check with the ASC staffer managing the list, so you will be found.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionFeel helpfuless...
http://house.gov/representatives/

First, find yers via the url above.
Then find their website.

On their website, is a non-disclosure statement that you must sign.
So get that, and write up a letter of inquiry, include as much of yer casefile info as you can,
and send both off via fax (fax is best for this)

If you want to call first, that's cool - ask for the name of the immigration liason staffer, then address the fax to that human.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionVery Frustrated; RFE

Is it totally necessary/needed to have the W-2's? I don't have them with me, and it could take me a week or 2 just to obtain new copies of them. It seems I have a lot of stuff to gather and send to them. We both have a new gym membership with our address on it that we could use as proof we still are residing together and have an ongoing relationship.

IRS tax transcripts are sufficient. do you know what they are , and how to get them ?

hey, this is the wife. 590 freaking dollars?! who has that- especially around christmas?! is there any way to request an extension until after the new year?
also, does the card come in the mail or are we going to have to spend even more money we don't have going to california or something like that? thanks.


Hi - this is the Uncle - you have until 02/03/2013 to file (the expiration date on your current green card)

so, can you scrape up 590 USD in January, mail it all off on 31 JAN 2013 ?

it's a 90 day WINDOW - you have 90 days in which to file.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionCross country move around possible time of approval
i would rethink that 30 day holiday hold, really.

USPS does NOT forward USCIS postal mail, at all. There's a thing on the outside of the envelope, instructing the postman specifically to NOT FORWARD.

A holiday hold, OTOH, is different.

How close are you, do you think, to approval ?
DarnellMaleChina2012-11-24 22:19:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionCross country move around possible time of approval
I'm sorry - USCIS will send the green card to the address on file.
Here's some speculation, based on what I've read here and my own opinion..

Lets say you put in the forwarding order.
ALL of your mail except that USCIS letter containing the green card will go to your new address.
The postal carrier will see the forward order at the sort center, then send the USCIS postal mail pack back to USCIS.
A month or two passes, USCIS mailroom processes the returned mail piece.

YOU call into USCIS on occassion, asking about status of any returned mail pieces.
Finally, after 6 weeks of calling, you learn that there is, indeed, a returned mail piece on you.
When you talk to an ISO, you make arrangements with him/her to update the current address, and you ask that the returned mail piece or pieces be sent on to the updated current address.

---
Can this 'circle of death' be overturned? I say yes, by having a postal hold order in place, combined with having a friend that will pick up your mail on the day that the green card arrives. You will know of 'that day' as you DID call in to USCIS and obtain the USPS Tracking Number on the green card mailer, and you've been tracking it all this time.

---
Now, USPS won't just give the mail to your friend. You and your friend must show up in person and talk with the shift supervisor at your carrier station, and ask him/her for the exact thing they require for that to happen. Sometimes that's a letter 'allowing' your friend to do this, submitted with the hold order, stamped by a notary.

Good Luck !

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 waiver delayed more than a year - no response
Talk with an ISO today with USCIS call center,
ask an ISO to go over the casefile status with you,
and in the end, if they NOT have notice of the 2nd rfe packet being added to the casefile, ask for a service request.

Don't waste time with a CSR, they be useless.
