The court case I had in mind is the Lau Ow Bew v. United States, 144 U.S. 47 (1892) . The ruling states "... statutes should receive a sensible construction, such as will effectuate the legislative intention, and, if possible, . . . avoid an unjust or an absurd conclusion.” Therefore, one could...

Greetings. Those who were subject to the 5-year continuous residence requirement and taken at least one trip abroad which lasted more than 6 months but lass than a year; have you successfully applied the 4 years and 1 day rule in your N400 application? I've been LPR since 7/2011 but taken a...

We have entered at the same time on 7/11 and my wife received her GC on 8/6. Me and our son are still waiting. I've called USCIS and they said there is some production backlog. Nationals of countries under the visa waiver program get prioritized lower than those from visa required countries.

Hi Matap Thanks for your reply and I'm sorry for not coming back to you sooner. I've been busy finishing the moving to our new home. My case is in the In Process status for a month now. Strangely enough my wife has received her GC in the mail last week and 3 weeks since we were processed at...

Hi folks, I have successfully moved to southwest Florida about a month ago and I'm waiting to receive the plastic Green Card in mail. I was wondering if the USCIS ELIS system where as folks remember had to pay your Immigrant Fee after you've received your visa but before you moved the US, can...

My understanding is that that no visa can be issued for selectees in a fiscal year after 2015. That means DV2015 folks can be selected but won't get visa. Therefore I think DV2014 (fiscal year 2014) is the last year as there is no point of selecting folks if they can't be issued with the visa...

Look, lied or not, clearly from the process point of view, you have been divorced when you filled the eDV form but you selected Single instead and then later before May 2013 you have got married to a US citizen, is that right? Send the DS-230 to KCC and make sure you answer item #9 as...

I've had my interview on May 15 and I decided not to risk things and booked a vacation rental house in USA to make sure I have a valid residential and mailing address. The owner was happy for us to stay over an extended period of time so we will have enough time to get the physical GC, open bank...

Thanks zsofeeb. Yes, you were right the statues were changing as you said and this morning I've got "ISSUED". I think the "Administrative Processing" status appears on CEAC when the consular hands the case back to their back-office workers with a note/instruction in the system what they are...

If your US citizen husband has filled an immigrant petition for you, I would not go ahead with your DV2014 selection and wait for the petition to get processed instead. As a wife of US citizen you have higher chances of getting an immigrant visa and GC than via DV. Also the quota for direct...

Folks, My interview was yesterday and the consular told us our visas have been approved and kept our passports. Also asked to paid a delivery fee for the passports to be mailed to us once the visas are printed and ready. However; when I go to ceac.state.gov/CEAC/ to check the status of my...

Sorry to hijack the thread but I have a very similar question to fakloun's one: What if I don't have any friend or relative in the US to provide/help me with their address? I'm sure the embassy during my interview will want me to give them the address where to send the GC and I have none...

Thank you. If you find anything, please share. I don't need the Affidavit of Support because I have enough of my own liquid assets to prove during the interview and yes, I do have a job offer. My current employer wants me to work for the company's branch in the US. I don't want to use my...

Thanks Momo1980. I've read that thread now when you pointed it out to me, but there wasn't really anyone who would have had the same experience and succeeded. I have no friend nor relatives in the US. I'm choosing between PO Box or a mail forwarding service such as Shipito. Has anyone out there...

Hi folks, I've been searching through the forum for an answer but to no avail. I'm a DV2013 winner with the interview coming this May. Originally I've answered the questions 10 and 11 (asking for my US mailing and permanent residency address) on the DS-230 as "N/A (will provide at later...
