Thanks. This is the link I've been given: https://egov.uscis.gov/coa/addressChange.do Does this look correct to you? Do I have to complete this just the once or once for me and each member of my family? Would I have to notify the Social Security Office separately?

I'm referring to our baby girl who was born whilst we've been outside the USA. I don't know your story so it's difficult to compare, nevertheless I appreciate the heads up. We certainly we won't take anything for granted and will prepare for a grilling by getting our explanation straight and...

Many thanks for this information, that makes life easier. What exactly do they mean by "Either accompanying parent is applying for readmission upon first return after the birth of the child. " Do we have to make a formal application of some sort or is our reentry tantamount to an application...

One thing I'm unsure of is the position regarding our new baby. We understand that as a dependent she will also receive a green card. However we are unsure of 2 things: (1) Do we have to apply and pay for this visa before we travel? (2) If not, will she require an ESTA to enter?

Thanks for this and all your advice. I'll get on it.

As I stated earlier, my case was placed in administrative processing for a long time. By the time the US Embassy reached a decision they could only provide a temporary visa for 1 month. Consequently we had to arrange our trip in a hurry. We have to activate our new arrival on this next trip...

OK so contracting sounds pretty lucrative in the USA as long as you're engaged most of the year. Using your example, I assume tax liabilities will not dampen the position too much? CGT on properties owned by those who live abroad is changing in the UK from April 2015. Any positive equity made...

Many thanks for the prompt and comprehensive response. I had intended to rent for the first year and, in the meantime, rent out our UK flat. My mortgage is low so the profit alone would cover my rent in the USA. However, cross-border tax considerations and the new UK capital gains tax rules...

Hi Britsimon, I read your posts with interest and wondered if I could pick your brains as there are some similarities between our respective positions. I am 44, my wife is 34. We have 2 young daughters, aged 2 years and 4 months respectively. Having been selected on the DV Lottery program...

Raevsky: my husband has asked me to pass on his thanks for your advice. He wrote a letter clearly stating his case and quoting US immigration law. He received a call within a day of writing. It was evident that the embassy had done nothing in the months that had passed since the interview and...

Absolutely send it Gabam.They need to be reminded to hurry up.I would send them an email once a week now since September is approaching.

Just wanted to say thank you for your advice Ravesky.My husband wrote to the embassy and included the information you quoted above.He then submited the proofs and our visa status has now changed to issued after 111 days of AP. For anyone claiming foreign chargeability of a parent, take the...

Hi guys I'm pleased to say that my husband finally got a call from the embassy saying our case had been approved and for us to send our passports! Our ceac status still shows administraitve processing however so until the status changes and our visas are received , we will not be celebrating...

Yes,it is due to a chargeability issue. My husband the principal applicant applied under his mothers country as she was only temporary in the UK at the time of his birth making him eligible to apply. The consular who interviewed us said they needed to look into a few legalities and we would be...

Our interview was at the London embassy on May 1st and we were put under administrative processing. That was almost 90 days ago......

For those of you under administratiive processing like myself, are you just waiting to be contacted by the embassy or are you calling and emailing them to try and speed it up? Not sure whether to just wait or to take some action Thanks

I must say , I agree with Lazder he shouldn't have been banned.I found his posts very informative and interesting whether or not I agreed with them

Ok I'll ask my husband to do this. Would you recommend a letter or email or both? Is it our local embassy that processes the case or is it forwarded to another department? If the consulate declines the visa, can my husband appeal?

Many thanks ravesky. It appears from your response that the critical factor is that my mother-in-law was employed under the Portuguese government programme. My husband is unsure how well he explained this at interview and fears that the embassy may process the case on the assumption that my...
