    Eligibility for Naturalization

    So none of the time she spent in the US before January counts? She was here for about 2-3 months each year before Jan 2012. But I guess continuous residence time is reset?

    Eligibility for Naturalization

    Hi, I am posting this on behalf of my wife who has been a permanent resident since January 2004. She has however not lived in the US continuously since she took her permanent residence. She had been taking re-entry permits (as she was a student in India) and only moved here permanently in...

    EB2 India vs Family Based Greencard. Which is better?

    I have a quick question about this. If the I-485 is filed and received (while the date is current and I-130 is pending), what happens when the date retrogresses? Do they keep processing your I-485 or do they stop and resume processing when it becomes current or the I-130 PD becomes current?

    Ah! You are right newacct. What I should have asked is what do I put in for the circumstances that warrant issuance of advance parole. What should I fill in for these? I don't know right know why would I need to travel.

    Filing I-485 (I-130 is still pending)

    Thanks for the clarification Jackolantern. I have another question on I-864. As I stated, my wife (who is also my sponsor and the green card holder), has never had any income in the US and she is currently a student in the US. On I-864, there is a question in Part 6 "My total income as...

    Filing I-485 (I-130 is still pending)

    It is amazing how helpful you guys are! Thank you Jackolantern and newacct. Another (probably silly) questions. My employer is ALSO applying for a green card for me. They have already started the process and the filed for 9089 (with the Department of Labor) and I have an EB2 priority date for...

    Filing I-485 (I-130 is still pending)

    Thanks for the reply Jackolantern, quick question on filing for EAD and AP, if I DO file for these (and I am on H1B), will it affect my H1B renewal when it comes up? The only thing I am bothered about is what would happen if I-485 gets rejected for some reason. Will I loose the H1B then? or is...

    Filing I-485 (I-130 is still pending)

    A follow up question to this one: My wife (who is the green card holder and my sponsor) has no income right now (or in the past 5 years) as she has been a student. Will this be an issue when we file I-485/I-864? She has only filed taxes for 2012-13 (joint with me) and has not filed taxes before...

    Filing I-485 (I-130 is still pending)

    Hi, Like many others, I have some questions about filing I-485 (in August as I-130 dates become Current in August as per the latest visa bulletin). I am married to a green card holder and we filed I-130 in July 2012. The I-130 is still "In Review". I understand that we can still go ahead and...

    Stay duration on a Visitor Visa

    On a Visitor visa, you are given entry for 180 days. What is the cooling off period after one visit (say 5 to 6 months long) after which one can enter again? My friend's parents just visited him and stayed for 6 months. They are back in their home country now but want to visit him again. We...

    Family Based Green card questions

    You guys rock! One more question. I heard while your I130 is being processed you should not travel out of the country as coming back on a H1B could be a problem? Is that true? If my I130 is under processing, can I exit and enter the country without any issues? (i am on a H1B) Thanks!

    Family Based Green card questions

    Another question in the same regard. So I am in the US on a H1B Visa. The priority date for getting a green card (family based) for my country right now is a date in 2010 (hence not current). So should my wife file for adjustment of status (I-485) WITH the I-130 or should she only file I-130...

    Family Based Green card questions

    I am not sure how many times did she get approved but she was in school and she definitely could not have left school to move to the US. Hence they approved it :) I guess you need to have a good enough reason and they listen to you?

    Family Based Green card questions

    Thank you Jackolantern for your input! This was really helpful. She has stayed in the US probably 5 months over the last 5 years and so she isn't close to being eligible for applying for Citizenship. Thanks!

    Family Based Green card questions

    She has a green card since 2004 but is not eligible for citizenship as she did not stay in the US for over 6 months in a year (she kept taking extensions and applied for re-entry till now). My primary concern is that is the fact that we have not been married too long going to be an issue when...
