    passport expired

    Expired passport It is really surprising (if not bothering) to see how raevsky's clear and to the point explanation of the passport issue is ignored by some members. May I suggest language problems as a reason? From my personal experience, I can confirm that a valid passport is only needed to...

    Social security benifits and sponsorship

    Bentlebee, this is not the first time when you present at this forum a false information about benefits. Be aware that many people reading your posts may believe in what you say, and therefore make wrong decisions. Let's make it clear: every permanent resident is eligible for certain benefits...

    Marriage after interview but before entering the usa?

    A GC holder can surely bring his wife, but not as a PR. She is welcome to come with any type of visa though. You need to be a citizen if you want it to be done quickly.

    Social security number

    Well, you DO need a SSN to open any online bank account, and you DO need it to open a line of credit. Without SSN you can only get a checking and/or savings account when you come in person. GC is not a path, but it allows you to receive Medicaid, Medicare, and a few other benefits. You do not...

    CP to AOS

    1) As far as I know, you can switch to AOS anytime by notifying KCC. 2) Application for AOS does not extend your visa. If you overstay, you become out of status. And that is definitely not something that an immigration officer might like...

    DV 2010 AOS Only

    You are right, it is either employment or residency. (Living a year as an F or J student still doesn't make you a resident, btw.) Pending AOS has nothing to do with finances :-( And even when you get GC, you will not be granted any aid immediately. Of course, it may vary from state to state, so...

    Married and Unmarried Entries?

    You will have a date in your marriage certificate. And if this date if after the entry period of the lottery, you will not be considered married. Writing "married" could be a disqualifying lie. Unless you speed up your marriage and get it done real quick I do not think you can double your...

    J visa and dv2011

    These are two different stories. Visa denial is something that stays with you, while residency waiver denial is a harmless disappointment. In your earlier post you said that applying for the waiver was too risky, that's where my question came from. Now I see that you meant something else.

    J visa and dv2011

    What is so risky about it? You apply, and either get approved or not. Even if you do not receive this waiver, you do not lose anything.

    Name has more than 3 words. how to post the name?

    You can put "n/a" or "none" for the middle name, if you (your person) doesn't have it. Middle names are not the same as paternal names, and not all the peoples have middle names. For the last name I would suggest to use the name which this person shares with his father. The rest can be...

    It does not matter how expensive your camera is, all 600x600 pixel images taken with any camera (and saved with the same compression) will be of the same size.

    Applying for Medicaid-public charge?

    TANF stands for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. It is not a health care program, it is more like food stamps - TANF recipient gets certain amount of cash, but can spend it not only for food, but for other reasonable expenses (clothes, household items, bills, etc.).

    To Mr. Bentlebee.......

    Black or white, or whatever, there are no exceptions when it comes to the immigration. Everybody is in the same boat.

    Applying for Medicaid-public charge?

    Public charge starts when you receive cash benefits, not when you apply for them. TANF is a clear public charge, so stay away from it. Medicaid is not a cash benefit, but in most states (if not nationwide) you will not be eligible for Medicaid before you reside in the LPR status for five years...

    To Mr. Bentlebee.......

    Paying a fee does not guarantee a visa. And you knew in advance that these fees are not refundable. Every dollar spent is your own risk.

    English knowledge at POE

    There is no such thing as "job requirement." Of course, a job offer is a nice addition to the AOS package, but it is in no way a binding contract. In other words, a job offer (or any plans for fiture employment) does not guarantee that a person who has it will not become a public charge upon...

    English knowledge at POE

    No, they cannot be rejected, because knowledge of English is not required for permanent residency in the US.
