He should file for a replacement for his lost SS card, but as far as I remember its not needed for filing AOS.

Well they do actually have to get married first, and before that engaged! The OP only states that the USC is his girlfriend.

Dual intent is irrelevant, as long as the person didn't intend to immigrate when they last entered the USA, they can file for AOS, whether their visa is dual intent or not.

You need to send them a translated copy of the birth certificate. How you get this is another matter. A friend of mine did it himself, and it caused no issues, but I believe that officially you're not supposed to do this. You might try this anyway, worse case scenario you get an RFE.

Have to agree with machelon here. The 14th Amendment spells it out pretty clearly.

You've got it all mixed up. Years to citizenship are the based on whether you are married to a USC or not. If you are married to a USC its 3 years, otherwise its 5 years. Its got nothing to do with whether you have a conditional or 10 year GC, both count towards citizenship as they are both...

You don't have to wait for I-130 approval as I said above. You can file I-485 now with a copy of the I-130 receipt notice.

Actually that question was directed at sreenve.

You get form I-797 "Notice of Action" when you submit AOS. This should be enough to prove status to any official that needs to see it. "Concurrent" filing would be when you filed I130/I-485 together. You can do what you suggest however, you just need to send in a copy of the receipt notice you...

Assuming you are a US citizen (you don't say), your Father will be able to remain in the USA as long as his I-485 is in process, regardless of when his visitor visa runs out. If you file AP now, then there is an excellent change (read close to 100%) that your father will have it by March 2008...

A USCIS civil surgeon will answer this question for you.

The real question is, why are you still checking the USCIS website for your case status 3 months after you got your Green Card? ;)

No. There is no "spouse visa" for those married to Green Card holders. Your only option is to try to get a visa unrelated to your wife's status, e.g. a work or student visa.

Submitting a new H-1B petition (there is no such thing as an H-1B transfer) through a new employer won't make any issue with AOS if it is marriage based. Alternatively you could apply for EAD and within 90 days you'll get an EAD card that allows you to freely work anywhere.

Well we'll have to start paying them minimum wage I would guess, unless the new "Orange Card" allows to pay less than that. Agriculture is going to take a hit over this, for certain. My guess is that in 20 years times we'll have 13 million more illegals, even if they give everyone here amnesty...

Yeah, I would guess so. Good news! It will be in 2010, not 2012. Conditional Permenant Residency counts towards citizenship.

I believe the rule is that you must apply for removal of conditions 90 days before the expiry of your 2 year green card. I believe the burden of information you have to supply for I-751 is quite heavy, yes. So buy a filing cabinet and don't throw that stuff away just yet! As soon as you have...

I think you're getting confused with the email here, they don't send a different email if its a conditional LPR card. You'll most likely get a 2 year card. If you haven't been married for 2 years when you were approved for AOS the card is conditional. If they sent you a 10 year card it is a...

Check the first box, "Permission to accept employment".
