hi, as an American citizen working and staying outside the country for next 2 years as an expat, can i start the process of sponsoring the residency (greencard) for my wife while still out of the country? any foreseeable complications? i will not have a permanent address in the U.S. thanks.

sorry if you see this in multiple forums (but the new structure of forums is kind of confusing :-( ) posting this for a friend in india: have an advance parole document. went to india for a short trip and while i was there, thought i'd get h1-b renewed as well (on the suggestion by...

hi - posting for a friend in india: have an advance parole document. went to india for a short trip and while i was there, thought i'd get h1-b renewed as well (on the suggestion by company attorney). while doing that, the consulate person said i am pending security clearance - which no one...

few other things to consider:- - only the US (as far as i know) provides the individual freedom rights as it does (bill of rights) so how does that help? you are free in every sense of the word. don't know about europe, but don't they have certain restrictions on the freedom of speech...

so you can get ITIN for people who are not in the U.S.? do i HAVE to do this if i am married? so if i understand this correctly, - i HAVE to file as a married person - but i cannot say that the wife and child are dependents am i understanding this correctly? thanks.

i thought so too, but read some posts where during the interview the immigration officers asked why it wasn't mentioned in the tax returns that the person was married. may have been a different context then. it'll be easier for my accountant too this way - not to file taxes for dependents with...

hi . i applied for citizenship around 2 years ago. since then i've gotten married and have a child. they are not here. and no citizenship yet. but have to file taxes. how do i file taxes for dependents as they don't have a tax id or a social security number. has anyone else been through...

Thanks all for your responses. To address some of the points that were brought up: Separate Board - I don't think it's necessary to have a separate board for the "veterans" - people who've been stuck for more than 1 year. This portal provides an invaluable service and we could still benefit...

I was thinking that maybe the folks that have been waiting for 1 year or more congregate in a separate thread so that we can bounce ideas off of each other and generally console ourselves. :-) Most of the threads now talk about folks that have applied this year (newbies ! :-), and usually...

http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071016/NEWS07/71016065/1001/NEWS What's the general opinion about this? Is this going to help in the immediate future? Or is this without any teeth? Looking for ANY glimmer of hope. Stuck since Apr 06.

wanted to check if people who applied early last year (2006) are still stuck in this name check hell hole or am i alone in this? i applied in april 2006. have gone everywhere banging doors for help - congressmen, senators, first lady - but to no avail. checking if there's something else...

that's one thing that the senator's and congressmen's offices are good at - they'll tell you exactly what stage your application is stuck at. they DO try to help - if the application's lost or if the USCIS is dragging its feet, they WILL help - there are posts on this forum with instances of...

CTN400 - sorry i stopped looking at this board for a while. just get depressed going through these posts. i have tried everything - - written to senator lieberman two times. - written to and spoken to congressman shays' office two times both their offices were very courteous and nice and...

excel spreadsheet CTN400 - not to skew the trend in your spreadsheet, but my timelines are: PD - Apr 3 2006 FP - May 5 2006 nothing since then.

not true. the person at the senator's office that i called was very courteous and explained that there's nothing they can do about name checks. there really is nothing they can do. don't think they don't want to help. however, that doesn't mean that this rule isn't asinine. the senators could...

pd - april 06 fp - may 06 hunger strike in front of immig offices - as soon as it's summer :-)

i got one right away. on the phone. it went like - "just deal with it!"

don't mean to discourage you with my li'l anecdote below - your mileage may vary.. hope it does! when i called the congressman's office, the lady that handles the immigration cases for that congressman said something to the effect of - "you just gotta wait. it'll take time. look at your...

nope still waiting. since April. no interview. no nothing. last communication was "you suck, you miserable twit. you ain't ever getting an IL. go forth and suffer!". just kidding. but, they might as well have said it since that's what is happening. thinking of going on a hunger strike in...
