So my 3 year GC anniversary is fast approaching. I'm debating whether to apply for citizenship or not. One of the things that I need to find out is travel restrictions (if any) while in the process of applying. I travel internationally for business, usually once, maybe twice a month. These are...

After almost 3 years, the journey is complete. I received my permanent Green Card in the mail yesterday. My time line is in my signature. Woo hoo!!

Hey all, Here's my scenario: Got my GC through marriage in Nov 2006. It is the 2 year version so I need to get the permanent one later this year. An opportunity has come up for me to work in Asia. It would be anywhere from 8-10 months, maybe even longer. Great money, full living...

Hey everyone, I haven't been here in a while but I need to ask a question. I got a 2 year GC last November. So it expires Nov 2008. My two year wedding anniversary is in Sept 2007. So the question is when do I apply for the permanent GC, when my wedding anniversary hits 2 years or when my...

Hey all, Had the interview yesterday afternoonn. It was scheduled for 1:00pm. We got there at about 12:40 and on the nose at 1:00 were called in. The officer was a man in his 50s. Swore us both in, asked us to sit down. Then he started looking over the application and asked me a couple of...

Interview is next week. Question is do I need my tax returns for the past 3 years as well as my wife's? I only used my wife's income to qualify for the I-864 so I assume the answer is no. I have my return for 2005 (joint with wife) and my 2004 but I can't find 2003 anywhere.

Interview's in 2 weeks. Anything I'm missing? My stuff: Proof Of Valid Marriage: - bank statement with both names (last 2 months) - water, electric and gas bills in both names (last 2 months of each) - car loan in both names (last 3 months) - car insurance in both names (current and...

OK so this was VERY unexpected. On Thursday at an INFOPASS appt, I was told to expect another 4-6 months or so of waiting since Las Vegas is backed up and understaffed. Then today there is an interview letter for November 11th in the mail. HUH? I mean don't get me wrong, it's great. But what...

I got an infopass yesterday, amzingly enough got an appointment same day. Good news first: My EAD was approved yesterday and they are sending me a card...an email was actually send about an hour before I went to the infopass saying the same thing. Great!! Now I can quit my job and go take a...

My status online has had 3 LUDs for the I-485, but no sign of life for I-130, no LUDs at all. I understood that the 130 had to be approved first before the 485 did. So what's the deal there? How come the 485 is being worked but nobody has even touched the 130?

Hey all, Online it says that my AOS has an RFE which was sent 8/17. I am leaving for a 3 week trip on Saturday which means if the letter doesn't get here tomorrow I will not act on it until I get back. So I am wondering is there a deadline that the FRE letter sets for you to get back what...

I have read many many messages here with references to the INS. Why do you all insist on still calling it that? The agency hasn't been called INS since early 2003. This means that for the vast majority of people here, when you started the AOS process it was no longer called INS. So what...

This is unreal. Since my recpt numbers are still not online, I thought I'd call and see if anything was happening. Stay on hold for about an hour and finally someone answers the phone. This is a woman with such a thick accent, it is almost impossible to understand her English. Her: What...

Got NOAs with receipt numbers but none of the three (130, 485, 765) is available online. Called 800 number, was told it is a "computer glitch". Well duh, I could have figured that on my own. Rep told me everything is A-OK but obviously this "glitch" is causing some of the OKness to go away so to...

I called the 800 number this morning and spent 72 minutes on hold, is it always this bad? I was working the whole time and had the phone on speaker, so it's not like I really wasted any time, but wow, 72 minutes on hold, pretty crazy. Can I sue? j/k. I liked the message they kept playing...

Yesterday I posted that none of receipt numbers were showing up online on the uscis.gov website. I think I solved the mystery and gotta say, not too happy. My receipt numbers as shown on the NOAs I received are MSC -**-***-***30, MSC -**-***-***32 and MSC -**-***-***33. Today I checked...

So I finally got a receipt in the mail for the 130, 765 and 485 (yeay!!). My question is about the 130; should it say somewhere on this notice that it is a USC petitionng for a spouse? All it says on mine is that it is a "Petition for Aline Relative" but for all I know it was entered in an...

Hi, I have run into some confusion regarding the dates of entry into the US. Form I130 #14 asks "Date Arrived". Is this the date originally arrived when my work visa started or is this the most recent date I entered the US, which in my case was a few months ago after coming back from...
