After reading through all of the documents, it seems I have a really good chance for a successful waiver (if it even comes to that point). I believe that in and of itself the crime I was plead no contest to may constitute a crime of violence which would in turn can be referred to as an...

Thank you BigJoe5! It sounds like the waiver would be a good defense in the worst case scenario. This gives me much more confidence going forward. Can you just confirm that INA 212(c) is still in effect as of today? I think I read somewhere that it was replaced, then reinstated. Is that accurate?

I renewed my green card successfully last October (2010). This was after my charges were vacated. My attorney was a criminal attorney who specialized in immigration cases related to criminal charges. I hired him because he successfully vacated similar charges in the past. Unfortunately, he is in...

Thanks. My attorney who I hired to vacate my charges assures me that it should not be a problem. I am writing on these forums for other opinions obviously. I don't want to take any chances. One question though: How is it that the INS was able to renew my green card? If they renewed it, wouldn't...

I plead not contest to Assault with a Deadly Weapon in 1992 and was given probation. I had my charges vacated by a judge last year. I was able to renew my green card last year as well. I've been in this country since 1973. If I apply for N-400, will my previous charge be a problem, even though...

Here is what the email I received states: Dear USCIS e-Filing I-90 Applicant, Our records show that you recently submitted to USCIS a form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, using the USCIS e-Filing System. USCIS has recently changed its process for the submission of...

Well, I just wanted to update this. After I filed my I-90 online, I received an email stating that their process has changed and now we need to resubmit by mail. Anyone know how long this process can be 'stalled'? Is there a time limit of how long it will stay in their system? I am...

I think I need some final advice on the attorney situation. If possible, I would like to get the charges vacated before they do the background check. I know this is going to be difficult because immigration laws look at cases differently. I know I am going to have to get this vacated AS IT...

Wow. I probably won't even mention it in that case. I'd hate for them to give me the sticker then take it away. That's the way it seems it's been going lately. I will only bring it up if they don't give me the sticker or I'll just make another appt there. Is there another part to the law that...

No, unfortunately only one parent naturalized. My mother still had her GC. I did find this link to the I-94: www<dot>uscis.gov/propub/DocView/afmid/dat/I_94.PDF Is this the correct form or should I just ask for it at the appointment?

So, will they provide me with an i-94 form at the infoPass appt? I was searching online for the form and could not find a direct match. I will ask them for this form at the appt and also discuss my dad's naturalization to see if I somehow qualify. I have a copy of my dad's naturalization that...

I just found out that when my dad was naturalized, I was 16 years old. But this was before the law (Child Citizenship Act of 2000) went into effect (Feb/2001). You must have been under 18 on that date, which i wasn't. Are there any other loopholes?

At this point, I am just going to go through with the biometrics and hope for the best. I am wondering if I should have just filed for naturalization since that would be my next step anyway. I have an infoPass appointment to speak with an officer, so that will be one of my questions.

I have so many questions. I was just quoted about $4,000 to attempt to vacate my conviction. While I think I have a good chance, I don't have that kind of money up front. My only choices are to take a chance and go through with the biometrics, knowing they will find the conviction or attempt the...

I really appreciate your advice. So, if I proceed with the biometrics, you are saying that they will not do an FBI check because it is a renewal? I was going to miss the biometrics appt on purpose if I couldn't get the case vacated in time but if they don't do FBI checks, I should be ok. Can you...

Another question: If I miss my biometrics meeting, will they still be able to proceed with any type of background check or will they just discard the application? I am asking because I am trying to vacate a felony and do not want to do the biometrics until I get this taken care of.

But I don't have a passport. Can I still get the stamp or is there something else I would need?

Where do they stamp the I-551, on the GC itself? Isn't the I-551 stamp only for a passport? I just found this link stating my card is still valid: www<dot>uscis<dot>gov/files/pressrelease/I551Replacement121107.pdf I don't understand why the DMV won't honor this GC.

Jackolantern: Thx for all your help so far. I have not been able to get by these DMV clerks so far. I went to 2 offices for a total of 5 visits to get them to renew my DL. Any idea of where I can lookup the laws or what kind of proof I can take them to get them to renew my license? I just efiled...
