I think if you take your DL to a local state department passport office and pay the document search fee they will look for your original passport submission and issue you a new passport.

My journey that has taken over 11 years was completed on Monday. I apologize for the delay in posting my experience. Although everything has gone better than I could have ever hoped for, it was still stressful so I wanted a day or two off. My oath was scheduled for September 28th at the...

You won't be able to use the 3 year rule for citizenship since you are now divorced. You have to be a PR for 3 years, married for 3 years (and still married when you take the oath), and your spouse needs to be a USC for the last 3 years.

If the OP was granted a tourist visa or something similar on the assurance that the OP would return home and USCIS believed the OP would return home because of strong ties - such as employment - that might be the problem.

If I needed an immigration lawyer, this is the only one I'd go to: http://www.shusterman.com/ He's in LA, so is unlikely to be able to represent you in person. But at least you could get an accurate assessment of what's going on.

Congratulations!!

Congratulations!

When I had my interview, I received the results sheet filled in by the IO and an oath letter partially written/filled in by the IO. For one of these, the IO used carbon copy sheet to copy her handwriting. This wouldn't be a big deal but on the OL my A# is paritally wrong/illegible. I was...

I've worried about the same thing (let's be honest, we always need something to worry about). If that did happen, I would think that the DO would make you one the same day. I say that because 1- DOs appear to do the printing because they can do same day oaths, and 2) it's not exactly hitech- a...

I don't know but I don't remember it being on the list of things to bring to the interview. Also, I've not seen anyone mention their birth certificate on here and I didn't have to show one, nor did I include it in my application. Although I did have it. Did you submit one with you I-485? It...

I didn't see the IO do anything to the back and since it was in permanent pen I doubt the IO did. Besides, they need to have your name and A# on the back incase your photos get separated from your file.

You just print your full name and A#on the back of the photographs when you apply. At my interview, the IO used an eraser to create a surface on the front of the photos to write on (maybe it was just one photograph, I dont remember). It was in the white space next to my head. Then I had to sign...

Thank you for your nice comments :-)

As you are British, you can use the visa waiver program to enter for 3 months but won't be allowed to work or do anything other than vacation. If you want to stay in the US for longer than 3 months you'd have to come and go every 3 months. You could come on a student visa (F-1) to a local...

http://www.sharpie.com/enUS/Product/Sharpie_Ultra_Fine_Point_Permanent_Marker.html I think this is what I used. I guess it's an "ultra fine" sharpie rather than just fine. You can likely find them for a few bucks at Staples, Office Depot, Walmart etc.

I used a fine tip sharpie on the back of mine and the IO didn't say anything.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I meant lied regarding the K visa for your first marriage that got you into the country. I thought for K visas you had to be interviewed at the consulate in your home country. That's what I was referring to.

Congratulations!! Haven't been there but it's at the country club. Probably the only safe place in east LA ;-)

So you entered on the K-1 and prior to the AOS interview you got divorced and didn't leave the country? That's not as bad as it first sounded. I forget which section of the INA it is, perhaps someone else knows, but once you obtain a family based immigrant visa fraudulently you are prohibited...

I'm confused. You married your first husband to for immigration purposes, but you overstayed after divorce? To me, that doesn't make sense. What visa were you on that you overstayed? How did you enter the country the first time?
