I'm F1 overstay that's why I'm interested to know ...

Only one case that I heard in this board. Another one I heard from a friend of mine that ICE visited a house around 5am in the morning for person at his work .. I guess they came in and went straight to the bedroom to check whether they were sleeping together. They checked and left (no...

Recently, I heard of several cases where ICE officers visited married couple in their residence at early morning hours after filing for AOS based on marriage. If you had that experience, can you pls share with us on what they looked for and what questions they asked? What was it that u think...

Does the Health Department provide HIV and Syphillis Tests? Do these have to be done by the civil surgeon?

Oh ok ... because from my past experience, having an authorized user only provides a new card for the authorized user but the statement shows nothing about the authorized user. So I wasn't sure if that'd work for USCIS. I was thinking about a credit card filed jointly i.e. using two ss numbers...

Hi - just wanted to ask you on how you applied for the ioint Credit card? most of the credit cards I have looked at only asks for one applicant info. I called Capital One and they told me the same. Can you tell me which one you have? Thanks!

At what point can I go to renew my driving license after I apply for AOS based on marriage. My driver's license is from a different state than my spouse's. I want to change my license to reflect my new residency, but the state now requires valid proof of residency. As I mentioned in my other...

Thanks all for sharing and keeping this forum alive and full of great info

I'm writing this after reading one of the posts here recently that mentions arrest after filing for AOS based on marriage to US Citizen. I'm getting married soon myself and I'm F1 overstay of 2 years. I've never gotten in trouble with law except for few traffic violations. So my question is...

yuja11 - So you got arrested for being out-of-status after you filed AOS thru marriage? That means ICE came to know that you're out-of-status after you filed AOS and came to arrest you :confused: . I've been F1 out-of-status myself and going to get married soon - your story is scaring the...

Not sure if we can do the title transfer to my name even if he agrees - the loan is in her dad's name. It might be too much hassle. Anyways .. I think I'll just take it a little slow so that I can build up the history as you guys suggest ... if I could only apply for EAD first and then file for...

Ninyte - Thanks. Marriage is bona fide. No Doubt. The only thing that scares me is how to prove it to the interviewing officer. I do plan on opening a checking account with her. One more thing is that her parents divorced when she was little. She does have limited contact with her dad but not...

All, I'm getting married to a USC girl soon. We've met not too long ago (about 3 months) through mutual friends. I have a college degree in Comp. Sci., but no real-world job experience. I have been working in a restaurant as a server for quite a few years. My wife-to-be is working at the...

One more question - will the IO be asking her about the current status or on why she is out-of-status? Will being out-of-status automatically mean it'll be decided at an immigration court?

Hi MGTgrl, You mentioned that you shared your family's experience - did you write it on your own or did any of your family members write it for you? I mean does it count more if the family writes their own experience. The reason I'm asking is that her family is not the most fluent in English...

All, Thank you so very much for your replies... Colombian PR makes a valid point, however I do believe that threat to family members is serious enough threat to yourself since when you return back to the country you will be living with the family. I will suggest my friend to write up her...

Hi all, I have a friend who's fallen out of status for couple of years now. She came here as a F1 student, and graduated with a four-year degree in 2004. The reason for her falling out of status was that when she applied for OPT, the USCIS had sent to the college International office request...

thanks for the reply. I'm not sure how to fix this or even if this is possible.

Hi, if you have fallen out of status on your F1 visa, is it possible to adjust your status (in the US) by marrying a person who is on H1-B? If not, will going back to your native country and applying for H1-B spouse possible? Thanks!!

If a person is out-of-status for more than 6 months, but is able to get a new I-20, could he/she go to Canada or Mexico and try to re-enter using the new I-20? Or does he have to go to his own country? Any help or suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.
