Hi Anahit, If the principal applicant chooses CP, I think I read somewhere that the beneficiaries would then have to wait for the prinicpal to be granted the visa, before being able to launch the AOS procedure. Or maybe that was the other way around : the beneficiaries could only start CP...

Here's my opinion. I carry my GC in my purse, at all times. Yeah, I know, if I loose my wallet, or if it is stolen I will loose my GC. So what ?! I will file for a I90 and pay for it. But at least I complied with US law. I don't think this was a case of discrimination : the IO or Boder...

My personql opinion is that everything's fine. I mean, she was gone for 3months, which is less than the 6month limit. And it's not that close to the limit , not like 5months and 2weeks. He just stated it. Besides, if you said it is the only time ( she won't do that for years like some GC...

I agree with Boatbod. For cases of an absence longer than one year, there is no discussion : the continuous residency is broken. For cases of an absence of less than 6months, the continuous residency is not broken. ( but that doesn't mean that it is enough to come back to the US every...

1) If you want to go to London, you can apply for a reentry permit , I131 : it will give you two years to live abroad, and it would protect your GC. There is a fee to pay, and you would loose the time already spent in the US counting toward the citizenship application, unless you are eligible...

I applied for the I131 on May 15th, and I received it last week = less than 3m. It was sent by USCIS to my lawyer ( a company benefit...), who FedExed it to me. No, I just sent the info back to the lawyer : filled out forms, photos,scans of DVL and passports/GC and letter of assignment from...

I just replied to your previous post. For my job, I travel a lot between the US and Europe. What my lawyer said is not to present the reentry permit unless the IO starts to ask too many questions if I haven't been to the US in a long time ( like 6months ). As it is unlikely I will not go to...

I guess you are confused : there are 2 very distinct forms: _ the I131 : reentry permit : in your case, you would apply to protect your GC. Meaning : you could live abroad for up to 2years without risking to loose your GC. You do not need to have very specific reasons, even if there is a...

Here's my experience : My french passport says " 1st name" " maiden name" ép ( = épouse = spouse ) " married name". Because of that, the embassy in Paris issued the I551 in my maiden name ( even though I was married, and my US driving licence says : " 1st name" " married name" which is my...

YOu have to apply for the I131 while you are physically in the US. But you do not need to wait for it ( it looks like a passport ) to go wherever you have to. It took about 3months in my case : applied May 15th, received it last week ( 1st week of August )

administrative processing = receiving your forms, processing them ( review ) ( KCC if CP , or local USCIS if AOS ) and send them to a consulate if CP. Clearances = _ you have to order police certificates, court/prison records yourself for the countries where you have lived. For some...

Applying for the I131 ( reentry permit ) will give you two years. You will protect your GC. The only thing you will loose is the time you already spent in the US toward citizenship. If your stay abroad is less than 12months, the continuous residency ( you wouldn't have lost the time ) will not...

I agree with Harvydonald . Applying for the I131 ( reentry permit ) will give you two years to finish your studies. You will protect your GC. The only thing you will loose is the time you already spent in the US toward citizenship. If your stay abroad is less than 12months, the continuous...

http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-90.htm One of the purposes of the I90 form is the name change. "If you are filing for the following reasons, the base application fee of $190 and the biometrics fee of $70 are required. Total filing fee = $260. a. My card was lost, stolen...

Please read my big post. There, you'll find info on the evidence of support. An affidavit of support ( form I134 ) has to be signed by a USC or a LPR. You can also show your own funds ( bank statements ), and/or a job offer in the US. The more proofs you can bring that you won't become...

You called the 1800 number for USCIS. But do you know to which Service center your application was sent to ? If you do, contact them directly. My experience : bought a house in CT before my CP interview. Living in MA before. At POE, IO refused / couldn't ( I don't know ) make the change to...

Please do some research before posting. For example, you can read my post about general info for DV winners. There you would have found the info about the evidence of support, and some links.

Medococo : please do some research here or on other websites before psoting. All your questions have already been asked previously by other people, and answered by knowledgeable people here. That's exactly the reason why I compiled all my knowledge in the big post for DV winners. So, please...

Thanks Anahit. Yeah, I don't want to be mean, but I don't like his multiple identical posts , so I've chosen to ignore them as he did not read our replies to his first post....

Thanks Vk96 for advertising my posts! Pedja : please follow the links in my signature. One is my personnal DV experience. The other is a big post where I compiled all the info I know about DV. That should be enough if you have a straightforward case ( not illegal, did not lie for marital...
