RE:Marriage after the 485 is filed manishg_in, If your “friend” gets married it would have a major issue on her adjustment. She has a derivative asylum status. In order to get her GC she must stay “a child” for as long as it takes. After she gets married she won’t qualify as a dependent...

How I got my I-94 card Karina, I never got my I-94 card when my asylum status got approved back in 1999. The principal applicant got one in a mail, me – only the approval letter (of I-730 petition). The letter said I could obtain my I-94 from my local INS office. At that time I was a...

I agree with Minsk. I have been here for 10 years already and no GC yet. During these 10 years about 500,000+ people won their Green Cards in the lottery and most of them already enjoying their citizenships and all the freedoms. I myself know a handful. Just pure luck and wish to relocate to...

Nothing changed for asylees I have to disagree with Asylee25. the new Chicago address is only for people who are filing I-131 for advance parole, Form I-485 for family-based adjustment of status and work authorization in the same category. Asylees still have to send applications to...

for NBC_June04 NBC_ June04 I know couple of people from my home country who were in a same situation. After getting their GC they all went home and renewed their old passports for a new ones while on vacation. You can go home with an expired passport, because even after you have your GC...

The official USCIS website wasn’t updated yet. Cut of is still March 30, 2000 https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=Nebraska

Yes, it does! LolaLi, It does say so in the “Immigration Handbook”, and in the “Citizenship procedures and eligibility” and even right here in the instruction to I-131: http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/files/I-131.pdf “If you intend to apply in the future for...

filing I-485 for a minor Asylee13, File I-485 for your child after he was physically present in US in the asylee status for one year. Children less than 12 years old do not required to be fingerprinted, as a result – you don’t have to submit $70 biometric fee for him. Derivative cases...

to lee_haircut5 The information above was copied form the INS website. I have three I-485 and two I-131 cases in my web portfolio that I am currently watching updates for. All of them start with 5. Also all of them were filed in 2000 and later. Maybe before 2000 they used different...

The receipts The numbering system used on receipts has significance. For most applications filed at a Service Center, your receipt may look like this: LIN 99 001 50001. In this example, the LIN represents the Nebraska Service Center, where the application was initially received into the...

for asylee25 Last summer I went to the neighboring with my citizenship/asylee country to visit my family. I stayed for a whole month. Didn’t have any questions on a way back.

Getting a student loan I enrolled into college in a spring 1999. Had to pay my tuition out of packet for the first semester as I was out of a status. Same year, in a summer, my asylee derivative petition was approved. I took the evidence (INS letter, new I-94) to the financial department and...

To I485sept03 Actually I didn’t just waited all those years. I enrolled into college and graduated. Have a good paying job now, a house. Two American born children. Paying my bills, paying my taxes, just like everybody else. I accomplished a lot during my 10-year living in this country...

What are you complaining about? Four years? Only four years! You ARE lucky. Many people on this message board wait for their GC much-much longer. I filed my I-485 back in 2001. 5 EADs later – my application still pending in Nebraska Service Center and it’s due somewhere in 2009… :(...

I’m sorry, Minsk, but I don’t know why they put expiration dates on I-94. Several people on this forum have this problem, including Ing82. I remember she or he said so in another tread about DL. If you have en expiration date in your I-94 and you got your SS recently, then what sort of...

Ing82, They refused to issue you unrestricted SS because of two reasons: 1) Your I-94 has an expiration date stamped on it. 2) Bureaucrats in the SS office were too ignorant to accept your asylum letter as a proof. Try to bring your approval letter (the original) along with unexpired EAD...

to Minsk Nope. But hey! Another 10 years like this and my kids will be old enough to sponsor me. ha-ha! It’s just a mater of time….. :D :D

I been here since Clinton served his first term. Don’t believe in anything anymore. But….. let’s hope I am wrong and you get your GC pretty soon. :)

Minsk, When you travel, you travel temporally. Your rental agreement is a proof of your residence. Even if somebody else pays your bill for a couple of weeks, you still coming back to the same place you left, right? It is a bad idea to leave US while your application for an asylum is...

I though about receipts from INS…. But NO. It might work like a proof of a valid US address, but not as a proof of continuance presence. Think about it – you can get EAD and then go overseas for two month vacation. How’s that going to work? Don’t you guys keep any records? Cashed rent...
