    Preserving continuous residence requirement for naturalization

    Hi, I have been a U.S LPR since Feb 2011. I am currently outside the U.S, since July 2013. Before this trip becomes 6 months long, I'm planning on returning to the US in mid Dec 2013 for 12 days to try to preserve continuous residence. I am a bit concerned that my travels (current and...

    Can an I-130 petition be filed from outside the US?

    Thank you for your reply del0175. I plan to travel back to the United States this Dec-Jan for about 10 to 12 days in order to preserve my continuous residence requirement for naturalization. I just wanted to know if I could file the I-130 petition from here right now so that we could get an...

    Can an I-130 petition be filed from outside the US?

    Hi, I'm a US permanent resident and want to file an I-130 petition for my wife. I understand that I, as the petitioner, have to be domiciled in the United States. However, I've been outside the US since July 2013. Can I send the I-130 petition to USCIS from outside the United States or...

    Post GC I am curious about what steps we need to take after we've gotten out GC's. For those without a SSN or requiring work authorization, you would need to get a new SS card. How about for those who were previously on F1? Do we need to let our schools know about the change in status? I'm...

    DV 2011 AOS Only

    feel, you might be correct on this but my thinking is only sharminlee will receive notification for her application. I checked the special instructions for the G-1145 (http://bit.ly/aKsafa) and my understanding is that one G-1145 is needed for each applicant. I guess the question is whether her...

    I don't think there should be any problems. However, they will be sending the e-notification to you only (for your application) and not for your spouse.

    The receipt number generally does show up by the time you get the NOA when you try to check your case status on the USCIS website. For me, it never showed up online or even over the phone (machine or when I talked to the CSR). They usually had to "escalate my call to the 2nd level of support"...

    I don't believe you would be out of status even after the grace period IF your AOS application has been accepted when you were in status and as long as your AOS application is under process. You might have a harder time during the interview if you do not have a job and the IO asks about this...

    @sob: If you didn't submit the G1145, then all it means you won't get the email/txt notification for your AOS application acceptance. @vezuha: Good to know that you're all GREEN. I too wish everyone in this forum the GREEN feeling.

    Sorry, I meant the G1145 which is the E-Notification of Application Acceptance. Did you submit this? Somewhere early on this forum that it is best to have it at the very top of the AOS package.

    Did you submit a form G325A with your AOS package (with the G325A on top) ? If so, you should have received an email/txt the same day the checks were cashed. The NOA should have come in about a week too. Wait a couple of days, you should receive the NOA.

    For those of you who have received your GC/Welcome letter, did you case status change to Post Decision Activity? My case status just changed to PDA. Does this mean that they have mailed the card out?

    Welcome to the forum rigo. The DSP-122 and DSP-230 are forms that a DV winner fills out (along with 2 photos) and sends to KCC if he/she wants to continue with the DV process. You should have received some information on this with your DV selection notification. You can find out more at...

    I understand how frustrating this must be for you mista. It seems the people at your local USCIS FO will not be very helpful. Perhaps you will have better luck convincing KCC to send either you or your local FO a letter or a fax stating they have not received a request for your file. It is worth...
