Hi Whats surprising is that I got the info that her green card was approved the same day I posted my query !! Thanks anyway !!:)

I am a US citizen and had applied an I 130 and I 485 simultaneously for my mom in Oct 2008 , it was sent to the California center for 'faster' processing .How long does it normally take to get some info back from them? Info pass could not help me . Who exactly is a case worker? I am getting...

Hi , I have a special situation .We have a H1B approval notice for my husband, but NOT a stamped visa in the passport .485 is pending -family based.Can we still apply for an advance parole ? - considering that we will otherwise need the Visa stamped from the US embassy in India (before...

Hey - THANKS .. Plus - when I called the USCIS - They actually require u to upgrade your status by phone and then send your NC copy to the National Visa Center( NVC) .

Hi all , I became a citizen 2 days prior .I had filed for my husband's GC when I was a permanent resident .I am going to upgrade my husband's status as I understand he is eligible for an immediate visa number now .I am planning to file applications 485, EA,AdvanParole and 325. Now ,485 does...

That makes sense...

As far as name goes , I actually 'signed' my entire name on the Ncert and also signed my actual short signature next to it (on the naturalisation form ).The immigration officer told me that this was the best way- to have both signatures on the Ncert - so that I would not have to keep 'signing'...

I think thats funny:) -but not good that its actually taking that long in other centers .. I am now going in to upgrading my husband's status - we had filed for his GC based on my GC , now I guess I/he will file 485(ADJUST STATUS) , 131(ADVANCE PAROLE) , 765(EA) and G325 since he should be...

I actually have a slightly similar problem - I just became a citizen and am filing 485 to upgrade my husband's status (as we had already applied for his GC based on my GC).I am doing it on my own and guessing that I need forms 485 , 131 , G325 and 765 .Any additional forms that you would know...

Absolutely right !! The oath ceremony - which by the way was a 2 hr 30mt process - had 58 people from 31 different countries which I thought was fascinating . Just make sure that your name / details are spelled right on the NC , because that was an issue for someone in the group. 3/5...

I have my oath next week .When can I update my Husband's status for an immediate visa number ( for GC ) ? Do I need a passport copy /naturalisation number for that? Also , I amgoing to apply for my mom's GC . Do you think it is wise to go ahead and apply before I take my oath as it might take...

When you go for fingerprinting , they hand you the booklet of civic questions with the CD VERSION IN IT .Listen only to the mini version ( questions and answers ) and not the details , because thats all you need.

You actually need someone to sponsor an H1b and obviously the qualification in US terms to do the job . You can actually do your residency on an H1B and there are hospitals which will sponsor H1B for you - you have to search on Frieda , call them and find out if they are interested in...

Hi brb2, I actually entered it in wannabe Citizen's interview experience column earlier ...... and essentially it went as follows: I reached around 30 mts prior to the Int time. The IO asked me to stand and take the oath , then asked for a proof of identity - GC - Then she went over the...

Hi , My transcripts actually arrived in 1 buisness day and my interview was a breeze .Thanks all for the support.

Hi , My interview was in Ohio in May . Plan to Reach around 30 mts prior. I initially was asked to stand and was placed under oath . IO asked to see my GC as identification , then went throught the N400 application that I had filled - very simple - just making sure that I did not want any...

I was actually in medical school ( HENCE NOT WORKING AND HENCE NOT REQUIRED TO FILE TAXES) those 5 yrs and kept my GC by visiting every 1 year , also had a re-entry permit for the extended time when (I couldnt visit over 12 months )I wasnt here towards the end of the 5 yrs. Unfortunately ...

Thanks Boat and Blacwell, that is great advice re:the first 5 years & it makes sense why they ask for tax transcripts .
