The time they tell you on there is the time they're going to tell you just about everywhere that you go. The only people than can really give you a better estimate are the people filing the papers themselves. And you're not going to get the chance to speak to them.

I was told by several immigration officials that you shouldn't travel with Advanced Parole during your conditional residency if you've been unlawfully present because it could put you at the possibility of being barred. Only when you're a permenant resident are you safe.

Ahh, thanks for clearing that up.

Why? If she's not out of status, which means that she'd be in the only status that she has which is F-1, then why would that status cause a possible re entry problem for her if it's an existing status? I've read those same articles that you've read. They say that you can't file for a...

3-8 months to receive your green card when your US citizen spouse petitions for you? I've never heard that. Usually you're granted conditional residency that can turn to permenant residency in 2 or more years. With conditional residency you have some restrictions. One is traveling in that...

Wow, this is an interesting story. So weird, also. You know, Immigration laws changed a lot during the time that you guys came here and now. I don't think that 10 year ban applied during the time that you guys initially overstayed which was 1991 to 1995. If it didn't and your mom filed...

Cindy, I'm going to have to go through this process so this is why I'm asking. After what procedure has been completed is a person then granted a biometrics notice? Does a biometrics notice imply that USCIS has without a doubt accepted your right to apply for adjustment of status?

You'd have to leave undetected also.

This is a very sensitive question. I think that you should get a hold of a cheap lawyer.

IF you entered the country legally, you have a change; but, if you entered illegally, your chances are slim to none.

Thanks for clearing that up, Dr. I had the answer in the back of my head, I just wanted to make sure it was correct. Good luck to you with your case.

Yeah, I'm still thinking about it. It's killing me. I want this process to speed up. You can't give up on someone like that. As far as me dropping to 2b, it wouldn't happen because of the AGE out law that President Bush signed in April of 2002. This law stops people from dropping in...

Actually, my bad, let me do some research on question number 1 and I'll get back to you. DON'T put in anything for Q1 yet. If you already have, get a white out ready just incase.

I read where you said that you reached biometrics, but that's just weird. They say that you aren't allowed to file i-485 until your priority date becomes current. But if you were able to file it without having to wait for a current priority date, then that's good news for me because then I'd...

Trin, can you better explain how old you were when your mother filed a petition for you. And, have you received any word back from your I-485? I don't know why you think that you don't need to wait for a visa. The only way you would't have to wait for a visa number when your mother...
