I believe thats true. Illegal work is forgiven when one marries a USC.

You came in this country when you were 12 with a visa which means you were inspected at port of entry. When you marry a USC, immigration laws that you may have broken - like overstaying a visa and working illegally tend to be forgiven. Question: Do you have any criminal hx? Go ahead and...

You need to give details if you expect to get answers. 1. Are u a USC? Is your wifey a USC? 2. How long have you been married? 3. Do you have evidence of bona fide marriage? 4. Was the immigrant inspected upon entry to the USA? 5. Any pending immigration cases? such removal proceedings...

If he started the GC process 2 yrs and 9 months ago as you noted, he probably has a 10 yrs GC at this time. Its sounds like they have been married for 3 yrs. What makes you think he "cheated" on you? The bad news is 60% of marriages end in divorce and USCIS knows that. It’s very difficult to...

Time line: If divorce occurred soon after receiving conditional GC as you noted, you might heading to some real trouble. It won't be easy to convince USCIS that your bona fide marriage ended suddenly after receiving your GC. USCIS might feel cheated. Most divorces...

Congrats Lucho!!! Some people did give you some " constructive critism" in my view. Take it! The advice you got can only help you. No one was putting you down. Otherwise, congrats and good luck all the way...

You have nothing to worry about here. Its not like you lied or twisted the truth. You will be fine. Worry about something else... or even better, don't worry at all. good luck

I'm with you on this one vegas. I think Mombasa-guy is just expressing his fantacies... Sounds like Elvis to me!!! People from Mombasa have a reputation of streaching the truth from time to time... "Wacha vako zako" LOL!!!

Its not about when you file for AOS after marriage. Its more about what you history tell about you - like Jackolantern indicated... Other factors: 1. Have you filed for AOS before? When and what was the outcome? 2. Do you have legal status right now? Marrying and then filing for AOS...

I assumed you are going through AOS. My bad... You are right. You need to state that you did have a religious ceremony in India since you will be using affidavits to support your case. If they ask for a marriage cert, just tell them that you could not register since both of you are not...

Cafeconleche never questioned anybody's right to buy/own a gun. He just indicated that the founding fathers lived in a time when owning a gun was a sign of patriotism and he is right. Hey, there was a fear after the revolutionary war that the Brits might come back. Mombasa-guy can get a gun...

USCIS is all about paper work and paper trail. Do you have any paperwork to prove that you had a religious marriage? If not, use your civil marriage done in the good old USA as your official date of marriage. You can talk about your religious marriage at the interview. If you list your...

As an LPR, you can own a gun as long as the back ground check is clear. Make sure you buy from a registered dealer. Do NOT buy a gun from local gun shows that might have weapons without serial numbers of that have altered serial numbers. These tend to be cheap but the saving might haunt you in...

I feel for you mamajon54. Right now, you are pretty much on the frying pan. By re-scheduling the upcoming stokes, you will be basically jumping out of the frying pan in the blazing fire!!! Don't do that if you can avoid it... Instead of re-scheduling, you have two weeks to prepare for the...

Wait atleast 60 working days before you make an info pass appt. As for the info pass: You question was if anyone recommends going with wifey or alone. It would be great if you guys can go together. However, its not required. To be on the safe side, I would have a good reason why I came...
