My family arrived to U.S. in September 2011. I've heard that everybody should fill their tax forms until April 18. My sister (19 y.o) worked as Seamstress for 12 months, she quit month ago. My mom living in family in exchange for some household help, plus sometimes she's does some part-time...

I spent 15 minutes of my time by editing my profile picture in Photoshop and another 15 minutes by trying to upload it and system keeps telling me "Invalid file" - I tried everything - uploading image to my web-server the specifying it as URL. I checked the size of the picture and its pixels...

I searched and read a lots of things about CSPA (Children Status Protection Act), but still can't figure out how to correctly calculate it. I am myself son of Diversity Visa applicant (biological age: 21 years old + 10 months), and for me these calculations was performed by forum member in other...

No, my mom paid ~$2500 overall Somebody calculated on the forum my CSPA age for me, but I suppose that perhaps I should do these important calculations myself

My Mom got her visa at Aug 3, 2011 - almost two weeks ago

My birthdate is October 3, 1989 We filled our request to participate in DV lottery at November 2009 We received our first letter about winning in July 2010 (which was originally sent by consulate in April 2010) Our first package - DS-230&DSP-120 forms was delivered at Septmeber 24, 2010...

What you mean? No, I am above 21 (21 plus 10 months) and I am not comply with CSPA So she will be able to file the I-130 as soon as she will receive her Green Card & SSN, even without having either one month job experience, right? What is OP and what is derivative? And why I-130 then...

My mom (48 years old), sister (18 years old) and little sister (5 years old) currently got visas by participating in DV. As I understand if my mom's living as a permanent resident in U.S. will be successful, I will be able to apply under: And I found poverty guidelines requirements form...

Yes I made a mistake

Is there jobs deficit even in low-paying jobs industry? I mean if you will try hard to find jobs where you have to work hard, won't person will be able to earn at least $1,000 per month?

I suppose that my Mom will not be able to afford car at all, so we even not consider it at all, even if she will save enough money for car, I don't think that it is that cruicial (of course if she always will be able to use public buses)

We received our visas without using affidavit of support. So I suppose there's no third party people who can be hurt because of our lacks. I read somewhere that if we will ever use welfare unemployment help (if Mom ever will receive ~$500 from U.S. government), then she will have huge problem...

Is there any official resources which show whether in our place is any free kindergartens? (in our case it is Salt Lake City) And is there any queue system in U.S. for kids in order to apply? (Because as I understand demand for free services is always high, isn't it?)

I don't really sure that my mom will be able to earn in Moscow, though currently in best case our situation allows us to earn $1,000-$2,000 per month reciprocally maximum. How much exactly it gonna cost, counting that 1BR apartment in salt lake is usually $600-$700 per month ($600*3=$1800?)...
