Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussionthey are asking for evidence when i don't have it and i can't provide
you have copies of all of the police reports?
for a ROC case filed because of a divorce, having those police reports can be quite handy.

also, a sworn affadavit from the doctor that treated you will go a long way, in addition to the police reports.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 For Step-Son
make sure that any form requiring his signature - he signs in china, sends all back to you via EMS.
Original signatures are important.

IMO, try to submit the package about 5 weeks before his arrival date into the USA - the first biometrics should be right 'about' then.

Good Luck !

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionFiling I-751 in Nov, but will be living apart due to school
I suggest you somehow let USCIS know that there are TWO PRIMARY ADDRESSES, and 'where you are' varies by time.
then
have a 'primary address' set for YOUR correspondence.

Explain all in a letter attached to the package.

PS - have a found a good place for curry laksa recently? The one here shut about 3 months ago :(

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionDo i need to provide bills/statements for everymonth for the past 2 years
eh - the answer is -
it sorta depends.

Filing an ROC case? the evidence mostly is about financial co-mingling.
so - can you list yer stuff for financial co-mingling??

IMO, if you are weak in one area (ex - 2 years of living in USA but her name is not on any lease) then that can be offset with 1 or 2 years of bank statements on a joint bank account.

it's not just ONE thing, aye? Weigh what ya got, compare/contrast what ya got.

If you make a list here, we can help you to VETTE yer stuff.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionInterview to remove temp status
Why to post in the K-3 forum ??
If your husband holds a K-3 visa, and you are going through the AOS process,
then of course you can withdraw the I-864 prior to interview day.

Otherwise - why to post in the K-3 forum ?

Going forward, if you have found cause for immigration fraud with 'this man', you should report him to ICE, nowish.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionTravel while Green Card Removal of Conditions is Proccessed

Hi,

I never heard of anyone travelling with this document. Perhaps I do not know which one you are talking about, but if it is the one that says that your I-485 has been received, and is being processed, then I would say, No. Never heard about this piece of paper either. There are just three ways an applicant can travel during this process, with an AP, with the GC stamp inside the passport, and with the official green card itself.

What exactly does the paper say? What does the I-797C say? Seems a little weird to me.


This is specific to a ROC case. So, not useful to review any I-485 paperwork / receipts that you may have, is instead on ROC processing, not AOS processing.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionROC question
sometimes a letter is generated, sometimes you receive it.

suggest you prep the packet nowish, have it ready to sign when yer wife returns.

re: coverletter required from the feds - nope, not at all.
DarnellMaleChina2012-02-03 09:02:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionDoes USPS deliver the GC to a P.O.Box?
USCIS postal mail is never forwarded by USPS.

In about 3 weeks, call into USCIS, get an ISO, Tier 2 human™
and then..

ask them to check the returned mail pieces for you

if they not have yer greencard - call back each week until they do
then

give the ISO yer updated address, ask that all returned mail pieces be sent to your NEW address.

This is a common topic here at VJ - I am surprised you not run across it, in the last few months.

IMO, if, instead, your wife had the mail HELD instead of forwarded - well - you'd have yer GC by now.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionHow much proof when removing conditions?
co-mingling of finances is a big thing for any ROC case.
not do the house deed? that's ok if you have stuff in other categories - like bank accounts, joint tax stuff, utility bills, POD instructions .

Good Luck !

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionHow much proof when removing conditions?

You do not have to add him to your life insurance. My husband isn't on mine (my daughter is the beneficiary) and that didn't pose any problems at our AOS interview.



Alas, requirements are different, when comparing AOS (your interview) to a ROC interview.

Almost like apples and oranges. For AOS, yer not expected to have the things available during a ROC interview, as there's 2 years o time you've not had , yet.
DarnellMaleChina2012-01-26 17:20:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionHow to prove my conditional status is NOT terminated?
you can find out by calling into the USCIS call center, getting a Tier 2 Human, an ISO, and inquire with them.

At least you'd find out.

Do you mean something 'more strong' such as a letter from USCIS that you've NOT been terminated on your current green card? I've not heard of that type of letter, sorry.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 Evidence of Relationship
ROC is mostly about showing the financial co-mingling that a 'normal couple' ensues.

That's my 2 cents, and I'm sticking to it.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionROC evidence no joint tax return no joint mortgage
if you are seriously considering the house, to be added as evidence, go into the county clerk's office, ask what can be done to add your spouse. Some states allow a new deed, or an addendum to the deed.

utility bills are a good bit - i only see gas and wireless phone. anything for electricity or internet service or cable television?

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionGreen card with conditions
There are two main delineations on filing a Removal of Conditions Case, pursuing a 10 year card, for her, at this point:


1. The two of you file together, as you're still married and the marriage is a continuing marriage or
2. She files for ROC after the divorce is finalized, prior to the 2 year window.

With this pattern that you've mentioned, though - I say file for divorce now or nowish then it's on her to file the ROC case.

Be warned though - many women think to file a VAWA case, and 'there's a playbook for that' - so make sure, certain, you are never in her presence without a witness , someone that is 'on your side' on all matters.
DarnellMaleChina2012-01-01 22:16:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionGreen card with conditions
richy - she can file the ROC case on her own, after a divorce, without you, without VAWA.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionInfo about ROC after divorce
if you are getting close to that 90 day window,
you can go ahead and file on your own, as IF you were already divorced,
and mention in some cover letter that you are filing for divorce and you'll have a divorce decree sometime in the next few months.

otherwise you might get dinged for filing past the window.

expect an rfe for the divorce decree..

you CAN file for divorce without an attorney, for the initial filing - ask the clerk of the court for the templates they utilize.
