Just a technical question..."I 485 must be filed within the 90 day period immediately preceding the 2nd anniversary of the date you were granted the conditional permanent resident status." I did consular processing with my husband in Belgium. Do I count the date that he got the sticker in his...

Just a technical question..."I 485 must be filed within the 90 day period immediately preceding the 2nd anniversary of the date you were granted the conditional permanent resident status." I did consular processing with my husband in Belgium. Do I count the date that he got the green card...

I (US citizen) did a direct consular filing for my husband (Tanzanian, naturalized Belgian) through the US embassy in Belgium and it went fast. He is in the US since January.Got green card and all the tools necessary to function here. He even got five (yes 5!!!) "Welcome to America" notices from...

Thank you! I heard from someone I consult privately (not a lawyer) that it is the gross income they look at, not just the business income. So for me, it is the higher number I suppose. But as you said, better safe than sorry. Thank you for your input.

Thank you. I forgot to say that I am self employed. Which confuses me because on the 2003 schedule C (form 1040) Part 1, line 7, it says Gross income $22,000 but if I refer to line 12 on the FORM 1040 it says "Business Income $10,200". Which one counts?

Doing direct consular filing. Have to provide an affidavit of support for my husband who is immigrating to the States. I am looking at the 2005 poverty guidelines to see the minimum requirements needed on the affidavit and tax returns to see if I need to show something else (assets, another...

Thanks Rahul for the info. I understand the difference between DCF and K3 now. Has anyone ever started a K3 after a DCF was started (in case it was taking forever?)So, kind of simultaneously? The daughter issue is still very unsure. It is really once we are at the embassy that the answers will...

Thanks for the response but to me (sorry), they are still a little too vague. You say DCF (yes, the country allows it) is OK but K3 if it takes too long...what does it mean? Can I change if I get impatient or should I file K3 right away?what is the difference in the procedure? And about the...

Dilemma 1:I am now US citizen. Will marry man from Africa naturalized in a european country in august. Will go to US embassy in that euro country to do paperwork right after wedding. Question: do I do direct consular filing or do I ask for K3? The embassy says I should just do the DCF, my...

Obtained political asylum in 1999. Filed to adjust in 2000 with all needed info. Was asked to go for fingerprints 4 months ago. Now, HS asks me to provide new medical info + vaccination proofs. Is that normal? Is it because the info has been getting old because of the backlog?Thanks for your...

Thank you Lucy for the two websites. They provided good info but not much for this very specific case. The daughter is not with her father at the present time and as said above, they are now of different nationalities. I can use the US embassy in Belgium because my future husband is now Belgian...

Thanks BB! Do you think it might work since they (father and daughter) have two diffferent nationalities and are located in two different places? So the US embassy in Belgium does not need to see the child "physically' to approve of her coming to the US? Does the US embassy in Belgium work with...

I will be a US citizen marrying a naturalized Belgian citizen (orig. from Tanzania) and doing Direct Consular Filing in Belgium. He has a daughter, of Tanzanian nationality, still over there, whom he wants to bring over to the US. It does not seem that there is the opportunity to get her to come...

consular process+ husband child Thank you so much for the info. I have more questions: First, how do you get legal custody when you are the biological father? The biological mother is actually already in the States, married to a Tanzanian and on a visitor visa.Does legal custody mean she has to...

I will be US citizen shortly (originally Belgian) and intend to marry a Belgian citizen abroad and do consular processing for him to emigrate to the US. It seems the fastest way to go.He is now Belgian but originally from Tanzania. He has a 12 year old daughter living in Tanzania still and of...

asylee adjustment of status--->interview? thank you for your answers. Any idea on the time frame?

asylee adjustment of status--->interview? The person in question was approved directly in June 1999. He most probably filed his I485 at the one year anniversary, so let's say roughly June 2000. Both his kids are here (we filed within the 2 year period that is allowed to get them here under the...

I am trying to find an answer to this: after I-485 has been filed to adjust status of asylee, and the person has been called for fingerprints(three months ago), what happens next? is there an interview? does the GC come in the mail? Anyone????? :confused:

I did the paperwork (no lawyer) for an asylee friend of mine (I485) and he just was called for his fingerprints. Does anyone know what happens next? Is there going to be an interview? what does he need to provide? is it a big deal? is it automatic? please help with info! :confused:
