    I-751 Remove Conditions on Residence HELP PLEASE! :)

    Hi all... We are fast approaching the 90 day window to apply to remove the conditions of residence for my wife. We were thinking about paying a paralegal to help us with our package, but their fee is $700, and the only way I can swing that is to go into debt on a high interest credit card...

    Need for bringing wife's daughter just got more urgent - please help

    My wife is from Colombia, and I'm from the US. I'm her sponsor. My brother co-sponsored her because I lost my job just before our interview. We suffered a setback of a few months because the USCIS dropped the ball and initially denied her because they failed to consider our cosponsor when they...

    And her green card is obviously in her married name. She must travel ASAP as her mother is ill and she is VERY worried about her. I just don't want any hangups - airlines denying her boarding because ticket is in wrong name - or border / customs not allowing her re-entry because her stupid...

    1) What is the next VERY IMPORTANT step, and when does it need to be done exactly? And, 2) Is she free to go to Colombia with just her Permanent Resident Card and her passport, or is there anything else that she is required to have to be able to do this? :) Thanks for all the...

    After PR approval, how do you arrange to visit home country ASAP?

    My wife is REALLY excited about being freed to be able to come and go (go and come, actually!) to her former country to spend time with family - my question is, where do I begin? How do we get approval on her passport? Will she keep her Colombian passport? How much does it cost to situate her...

    SUPPOSEDLY my wife has been approved for permanent resident

    Today we went to Garden City for about the sixth time to inquire about her case since our interview back in October. If you recall, I lost my job before our interview, was told by our interviewing officer to get a cosponsor by a certain date, which we did, but then received a disapproval...

    Tax preparation question regarding my wife, who has yet to receive permanent resident

    I am doing my taxes at H&R Block. I am the only one to have worked. My wife is on a visa overstay but we are working on getting her permanent residence. I'd like to file jointly. Is that OK? Also, they had 4 different "statuses" for spouse's filing status - the one that seemed most...

    They tried telling me that a cosponsor DOES NOT make things automatic...

    for my wife to qualify for a green card, if I, the primary sponsor, lost my job and if it is possible, hypothetically, that I at some point are not able to support her - true OR false?! DOES the cosponsor AUTOMATICALLY RE-qualify her for a green card if I lost my job, or is it still up to...

    Going for our THIRD case status inquiry at Garden City tomorrow...

    ...after they dropped the F%@#!&G ball and denied my wife her permanent resident status - because our interviewing officer FAILED to wait the 2 days that she gave us to come up with a cosponsor and paperwork (which we did) before she made her decision. And the paperwork will say exactly this...

    Difference between I-130 and I-485?!

    Well, for those of you that don't remember, my wife was denied adjustment to permanent resident because I lost my job, was given time to get a joint cosponsor, got the joint cosponsor and paperwork in given time, but was denied anyway, before our joint cosponsor's paperwork was looked at and/or...

    What is infopass? What can be accomplished at one?

    I have one for tomorrow regarding my wife being denied permanent resident because I lost my job. I have a cosponsor now, one that I had 2 days after the interview, which the officer said she would wait for - and didn't. Is it just a meeting? Do they care? Can anything good come out of one?

    Ever heard of someone getting denied for permanent resident initially, then approved?

    After they looked at new evidence mailed to them? WITHOUT formally reopening the petition? I mailed a letter to the interview officer that we had last week, pointing out that she told my wife and I that she would give us 2 days to get a sponsor, which we did - but she made a decision and...

    My wife is from Colombia and we have been together for over 3 years, married for 10 months. I met her while she was on a Visa overstay. I don't expect that to be a problem now. We have a paralegal and have prepared all of the required documents. The problem is that our interview with...
