Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussionworried about RFE letter
One of the sticky bits to successfully receive a 10 year green card, based on yer prior green card type and reason for issuance, is that you two must be domiciled at the same address.

Yer not, you sent in 2 addresses (one on you, one on her) so it hoisted a red flag at USCIS.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 - Insufficient Evidence Letter
alas, on paper, you two as a married couple, don't exist. ROC primilary seeks to reveal your financial co-mingling - as is, you not really have proof of that.

Don't fret so much, though.

re: utilities that you do pay to the parents -
get a receipt book at the local office supply store, create 2 years of receipts with the parents, have both names put on the receipts (you and yer wife)

re: rental agreement, lack of -
explain in brief your living situation with the parents, list the duration as well.

re: joint bank account, lack of -
explain in brief why the two of you not have a joint bank account.

re: health insurance - show it.

Good Luck !

it is illegal for you to work until you have EAD card in hand.

Since they are HER friends, you should ask her to talk to THEM about paying you.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionVery confused! I file 90 days after 1 year or 2 years?
were you ever issued a green card? if so, look at the expiration date, apply 90 days prior to the expiration date.

otherwise - wei - you've got a postal shipping problem with USCIS, they couldn't deliver yer greencard.
IF THAT'S THE CASE then call into USCIS, get a Tier 2 Human, ask about greencard shipping, review the address they have on you, try to fix.

it's notorious for not sending out address updates to the other mail-room operations that generate the letter you've received.

Don't sweat it, file the ROC in that 90 day window, you'll be fine.

I dunno, reschedules for the local office are problematic, at best.
Is difficult for the request to wind it's way to the scheduling officer, IMO.

IF yer in country on the initial date, bring a copy of the reschedule request letter with you, and go to the local office with the original letter, then see what's what.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionLost Permanent Resident Card
whew ! it's good that it was returned.

Here's a thought, however malformed.

when travelling inside your county of residence, keep a color photocopy in the wallet, laminated.
Then, when he's picked up and asked to show his immigration status, he shows the photocopy.
If the arresting officer has issues with the photocopy, tell him 'Hey - the original is in my firesafe at home, let's swing by there on the way to the jail'.

Of course, do carry it when travelling out of the county.. Good luck with the wedding trip !

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussionhow can I stop the ROC for my soon to be ex-spouse
I would check the status of her green card issuance.
somewhere you have a receipt notice with the casefile number on it.

call uscis with the receipt number, ask for casefile status.


IF the greencard was never issued, then can withdraw the I-864, affadavit of support.

whatcha got, really ?

if they just filed the ROC stuff, sooner or later she'll get some notice of acceptance / receipt notice - it'll have wording in it that extends her green card for a year.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussioni751 waive
some comments:

1. the one year extension is good whether you're divorced or not, so you're ok to leave usa, plan on being back for any USCIS interview, though - the interview is important.
2. the removal of conditions case itself, must be able to show the divorce document, then is some 'self-filing' without the husband/ex-husband, but not need to show it on initial submittal - expect an RFE for it, you've got some time.
3. filing for divorce is not the same as being granted a divorce - self-filing for removal of conditions - needs the divorce decree at some point.

Hopefully others will chime in here - I pray your attorney is an immigration attorney?

if he needs 'proof' soonish,
it may be possible to get an I-551 stamp in his passport
at/during
an InfoPass appointment at yer local USCIS office.


With that stamp in his passport and a SSN, he can work, immediately, these 2 things satisfy the I-9 documentation requirement.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionJoint Names on Utility Bills
I know this was for ROC, but - ever since returning from China after the marriage, I've been successful in getting her name on everything.

Utility bills were the easiest, I must admit my lease documents are not standard (I lease farmland and ranches straight from the owners, use my own lease documents, wife signs her set, sends em on to me via DHL from China) and the house deeds were straightforward, each county clerk 'trained' me how to make the addendums.

At one point I just thought the problem for other folk was simply 'no SSN' but I'm convinced, after getting it done without her here, in country, it's all down to 'your approach' on talking with the CSRs.
DarnellMaleChina2011-06-01 19:39:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionRequest for Evidence
ROC evidence should be focused on financial co-mingling - you've had 2 years or more to generate it.

I'm sorry about your position on utility bills - that one 'little' thing, IMO, would trump a lot of silliness.

whoa

So my conditional greencard expires on 9/1/11, and I am planning to go back home (China) 8/8 - 8/24
no issue at all. You must return , hit a USA POE by 23:59 on 9/1/11 or prior..

have fun with the travel !

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionBank account
ROC 'evidence' focuses on the co-mingling of assets.

IMO, a joint account is the biggest and bestest thing, that ANY COUPLE can do, with minimal hassle.

supporting documents for marriage - in addition to what jkelley said -
also review the I-130 instructions on evidence -

That pile should really focus on financial co-mingling.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussiona question regarding affidavits from two people know about our marriage
some phrases

I was personally intreoduced to George and Sheila at a Church Mixer in 12 OCT 2009. We've since become fast friends, and I see them doing things together when I come to visit two times a week.

George is an old friend of mine, back from school days, and I met his wife at her welcome to USA party on 18 March 2009. They come to my house often to practice chinese cooking, my kitchen is huge.

---
on the affadavit, the id phrasing goes like this:

My name is George Jetson, born on 01/12/1955, SSN 223.22.1123, Driver's license # 23002--233299, and I reside at 123 Sprockets Way, Space City, CA 92232.
---

I've got examples buried somewhere, but I'm not at my data center today..
----
In genERAL, THOUGH, there is some example affadavit for the I-130 floating around, you can use that same format, no problems.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussiona question regarding affidavits from two people know about our marriage
Mostly, the evidence pile on a ROC case deals with financial co-mingling - such things as
--joint bank accounts
--joint tax returns
--utilities in both names
--rental agreement in both names
--house deed in both names

IMO, the affadavit portion is optional, not required.
