Hello BigJoe5,

I received my DV green card and have notice that one of my first name is missing(exemple:JEAN instead of JEAN ROBERT), obviously ROBERT is missing. I received my SSN(social security number) with the right first name JEAN ROBERT as mentioned on my birth certificate.

I have also noticed that my canadian passport (where my my green card visa was issued) missed also ROBERT. I immediately took an appoitment with the nearest canadian embassy to correct it and they did after checking my birth certificate and other relevant documents: they said all my canadian documents have all my first name correctly written (JEAN ROBERT) and the agent who issued my canadian passport 3 years before forgot ROBERT. Now I have a new canadian passport with the corrected first name JEAN ROBERT .

Do I have to pay the fee $450 when filling the I-90 form? and how can I explain my case to the USCIS in order to have my GC replaced ?
I deeply need your help. Thanks in advance.........

Hi BigJoe5,
Thanks very much for the reply, I just have some key questions for you, hope you could give me some advice

1. Am I still in status in that 30 days after the denial date (the date on the denial letter), if so, I file the MTR in that 30 days, that means the case is pending and I am still in status, right?

2. The final denial date of my E-2 is 03/09/12, and the denial date for F-2 is 03/12/12. I already booked the flight and ready to depart the USA on 05/07/12, I know it is absolutely less than 180 days. Do you think it is better to file the MTR for F-2 before 05/07/12 or just stay until leaving?

3.I am a DV-lottery winner, and ready to have my interview at the American consulate in my home country, do you think even I have one day of out-of-status, that would affect the decision of my interview?

Appreciate your response!

Hi
I wonder if you could help me with some questions.
I hold H1 visa, I had that for 5 years, and I am considering starting my own business. I was under the impression that a physician could start his own office in underserved area on H1 visa after completion of 3 years employed on guaranteed salary. This H1 visa is expiring and I cannot extend that with my employer due to expiration of contract and inability to pay. My green card application is being denied. If I start my own business who is supposed to help me to get a green card.
The other question is if I buy a house USCIS may be more interested to help me to get naturalized and if I decide to return to my country, I have some savings, I need to take my savings to my country. Am I supposed to pay tax when taking large amount of money to overseas?
Thank you very much for your time and understanding.
