Hi, Maria, >>Congratulations !!!!!!! Thank you very much. >>Did you get any help form any Lawmaker? No, I have been there twice and i have never given them name or case number. They just threw me out. >>Or you got the oath letter just a gegular way? Yes, it is in a regular way...

itoo: hi, just saw your post. i was on vacation earlier and not got into this web for a while. i got oath letter on 3/26 and oathed on 4/17. actually i have already got passport. sorry not tell everyone. i have the same timeline as yours. actually i guess I interviewed on the day as yours...

If you have Advanced Parole, you could leave US.

one thing, if your wife is out of status for more than 6 months, she will be barred from entry for 3 years. if it is more than 1 year, she will be barred for 10 years. it applies even she has AP. I am not familiar with V visa. Based on your post, I think it is current. If you spend some money...

sorry. i did not read your post closely. when you filed I-130 for your wife in 99, you were not citizen. in this case, TSC would start handle your I-130 when its visa quota is available. it means your first I-130 will not be approved till maybe 5 years later. that is the reason you did not hear...

the proper procedure you need to follow is as what menael said. since you are the citizen, you could file I-130+I-485+I-131+I-765 all together in the first place to local BCIS office (not TSC). It is regardless of your wife's status (even she is out of status). I-131 is for Advanced Parole...

read I-864 closely. if you are employed and salary is above 125% of poverty, you could skip "asset" section. Poverty level is very low around 10k. so if you have a job (even at Walmart), you are not required to disclose bank or house, etc.

that is wired. I never heard that you need to make an appointment for sending application. which is your local district office. Could you tell me where you learnt that you need to make appointment? I am at Dallas. Anyone here in Dallas knows about this rule?

i think your friend is unfairly treated. there are tens of thousands of people file I-485 from some kind of non-immigration visa while inside US. If your friend's case represents general understanding of BCIS, no one could get GC unless through counsular process. I guess maybe your friend did...

if your spouse will get citizen within 3 years, your GC though marriage might be faster. otherwise, keep your current GC application.

i do not quite get your logic. the clock restarts once you are out of US for 6 months. but if you could meet this rule (coming back for a few days), you might could make it because you already have 30 months in US. 131 (re-entry permit) only help you be away from US for less than 2 years...

Hi, gurus, I am about to file 130+485+131 for my wife to local Dallas District Office based on citizen spouse. Should I file 693 (medical exam) along with 130+485+131 in Dallas? How soon is 693 needed after filing 130+485+131 in Dallas? It is required at interview time or required far...

Hi, Sarah and Patty, Follow your question and answer, could you please tell me one details. I assume you filed 130 & 485 based on citizen spouse. If that is the case, did you also file 693 (medical exam report) along with 130&485? I need to file my wife's 130+485. However, i am not sure if...

Hi, try to help a friend. he was petitioned in 1996 by his GC parent. He was unmarried then. So he falls in category 2B. Now he is married and has a kid. His parent becomes citizen now. He should fall into category 1. Is that possible to change from category 2B to 1? which form? Does the...

thanks joef. is there any pre-condition for adoption such as orphan, etc?

how about B1 business visa? my brother comes here sometimes on B1 visa on business trips. If my I-130 petition does not affect his B1 visa application, it might be OK to file I-130 for him. Thanks. I intend to do this because I do not have child and i treat my niece as my own.

thanks. adoption is not an option since my brother and his wife will never allow that. I simply try to give my niece one more option when she grows up. If i petition my brother and in the same time, could he applies and visits US on B2 regularly? i could swear that he has no true immigration...

i posted this message on another appropriate forum. but no answer at all. so i choose to post in this friendly one. please tell me. --------------------------------------------------------- i have a question. assuming i file I-130 for my brother. i know he should wait 10+ years before he could...

jenny. please bite the bullet :-). it means that please goto your local BCIS and wait in the line for 3 hours. ask SPECIFICALLY if there is any problem and ask SPECIFICALLY if they have ever sent you any letter since interview. In my case, officer told me nothing wrong. after i pushed him for...

i have a question. assuming i file I-130 for my brother. i know he should wait 10+ years before he could file his I-485 (when visa quota is available). but do you think i could get I-130 approved first (like within 1 year)? Or should INS hold application and make a decision 10+ years later...
