Hi: Thanks for the response. So, if I understand you correctly, the application will be transferred and merely "held" for 3 months until it has satisfied the residency requirement? Just want to make sure I communicate this correctly to her.

Hi: A good friend of mine did AOS the marriage route, like myself. She filed I-751 and had conditions removed. Now, she is eligible to file N400 in May (90 days prior to 3yr anniversary on GC). However, she and her husband are moving from State A to State B in August. If I am correct...

Correct. However, the OP never mentioned when the intent to immigrate was formed. Therefore, it is impossible to tell whether AOS is even theoretically legal. Then, as you mention, there is the issue of proof. As to the AOS stamp, it is true that an AOS stamp from the current visit would be...

Yes, it does sound as if the officer may have been worried about a potential AOS. In any event, AOS under these facts is a tricky issue. The general rule is that you cannot enter the US on nonimmigrant status with the intent of immigrating. Therefore, if your mother honestly enters to visit...

Hi: I don't really know what kind of advice you would like. If you were to read the Parents AOS and CP thread, you would see what the issues are. Under the facts you provided, I cannot really tell what your intent was, and intent is key here. If you were to do this, immigrant intent would...

Hi: First, I am sorry you did not get the result you wanted. But since that is water under the bridge, second-guessing USCIS's reasoning is for the most part irrelevant. Second, your parents need to do CP. If you read the thread you said you did, you know that. It has everything to do with...

Hi: That is probably the best way to think about it. Some person in authority decided to send NSC cases to CSC, and TSC to VSC. Period. If you think it through, you can see the problems. CSC is working fast right now, VSC is not. NSC has less cases to process, TSC has lots [mostly due to...

Hi: Sounds very normal. It's only the 22nd today! LOL

Sure. I'll join your thread. Let's keep it going. I-751 package sent 05/17/2008 I-751 received 05/20/2008 Check cashed 05/21/2008

Hi: One can file I-751 immediately once the divorce is final - in this situation, the "90-day requirement" is NOT applicable.

Hi: Time for I-751 on this front as well. Mailed I-751 on 05/17/2008. Received 05/20/2008. Best wishes, PP

I agree with your general comments. However, I do find myself being impatient with 2 types of people: (1) People who do no research whatsoever and post questions to which the answers are easily discoverable in the USCIS instructions or with a search tool. Many questions are asked...

Yes, that was Mr. Goodvibes, if I remember correctly...wow, seems like a long time ago. My apologies - the recent fires have made me reminisce somewhat.

Well, to be honest, I remember some heated discussions here even before Trinigirl showed up. Don't bash her, she supplies me with cookies - or at least, she is supposed to!

Hey! I thought I told you to pass the cookies to me. Sheez! The Las Vegans, you know.
