    i-751 filers August/September 2011

    I believe you have a different receipt number for the biometrics appointment versus the initial receipt/GC extension. That's the one that showed up online for us. But again it never updated when it was approved. We should receive the new card in the next few weeks. Update: Actually I just...

    i-751 filers August/September 2011

    approval In case anyone is interested, we got our I-751 approval in the mail yesterday. It was just mailed and has a decision date of 1/31/2011. I've been checking the status online with our ASC appointment receipt to no avail; it still says it was received on June 27, 2011 and is under...

    Exclusion drug conviction 28 yrs. Ago.

    And what does being a born-again Christian have to do with anything? You left out the most important detail which is whether it was state or federal charges and if state, which state. Each state has somewhat different pardon procedures, and a pardon would be required. Unless he pulled the...

    Application for asylum while in removal proceedings-NEED URGENT HELP

    This. Your asylum application sounds like a long shot, and the survival of a marriage to your college boyfriend for immigration benefits on your attorney's advice while under removal is an even longer shot. You also left out the important detail of your BF's citizenship. Moldova's not that...

    Walk-in FP or reschedule?

    First off, you are talking about your wife as if she is a complete stranger to you. If you can't read her motives or thinking, we certainly can't, and hopefully you don't trigger an interview and come across this way in person. As for your question about early walk-in, that is completely up...

    Anyone with I751 in process at Vermont center ?

    Thanks for the update. We applied to Vermont with the application and extensive evidence in June, got the extension and did the FP, still listed on the tracker as received June 27, 2011 and in initial review. :( I guess based on this I can expect to wait another month or so. Looks like the...

    Can someone illegal board a plane to travel WITHIN the USA?

    Technically an alien is supposed to carry their I94 or GC on their person at all times. Nobody does this (for good reasons), although carrying a copy if you have a valid one is a usually a very good idea. That said as others here have noted it's not the TSA officer's job, jurisdiction, or...

    49 day overstay in 2008

    Your overstay makes you ineligible for VWP. The ESTA approval is not a VWP approval, which is determined at the port of entry. Supposedly ESTA screens for security risks, not immigration issues. The correct course of action is to apply for a B2. Entering under VWP means that you cannot seek...

    Travelling via the US for an ex overstayed visa traveller?

    Three year overstay? That's a 10-year bar to entry that should end in Dec 2013. It is probably best not to attempt transiting the USA before then. It is definitely a bad idea to try transiting on visa waiver. You might get lucky and be paroled into the airport for the purpose of catching the...

    Help with asylum direction

    Eileen in Maine: It is indeed kind of you to be doing some footwork for your 70-year-old client. However you would be committing professional malpractice if you were to advise your client regarding his immigration issues. As a mental health professional I am sure you can understand this and...

    deporting my ex

    Go to family court or your local equivalent (you don't mention the state) and petition for a restraining order against your restrained husband. Based on the harassment/stalking behavior you describe you should be entitled to a "no contact" order if you are credible and can prove it. If he...

    Critical! - greencard holder with dementia able to return to the US?

    She could be inadmissible under public health grounds, although there are waivers for that. Obviously she will not be able to handle any interviews with border or immigration officers so it could become an issue. The larger question is, do you really want to bring her back to the USA...

    Canadian deportation: ICE= FAIL

    I have serious doubts as to whether contacting the congressman and especially the media is a good idea while the criminal case is pending. They can't deport her while it's pending anyway, and especially depending on the charge (what is this "nonviolent felony"?), the outcome of the criminal...

    Overstay by one month

    This isn't ignorance, anyway. He may not have originally known he was overstaying (which did not excuse the overstay), but he knows now which is why he's asking the question. The question boils down to "Can I safely lie on my visa application?" The answer is no. An overstay, even of 30 days, is...

    Going to deportation court bc husband committed bigamy- help!

    What?! Have you actually seen this situation? The marriage did not end, it never was. Bigamous marriages are not voidable under the law, they are legally void ab initio. As such, even assuming that this person really and truly was in good faith and didn't know about the prior marriage, the...
