First Issue/Concern
I applied for GC in 1999 (after asylee status approved in 1997). I did my FP about 4 months ago,and just received a letter for RFE. They want a copy of my BC (I don't have a BC, because I was born in 1955 and there is no way I can get one from my home country, Kashmir). What do I do? They also want proof of stay in US for at least a year, and agregate information since I have been here (I have been in the US since 1997, and have never left the country). What info should I send? W2's?
2nd Issue/Concern
Unfortuanatly, we listened to advise from a not so good lawyer (when I applied for my GC) , he advised that my wife should apply for GC (she also has approved Asylee status in 1999) when I get mine approved, for some reason hers would get approved quicker since I have my GC?. Since reading the immigration laws and this forum (Which is great), I have come to realize that my wife should have applied for GC after a year of approved asylee status. I feel like a total fool. Now I am very worried that if she applies for GC now, they will ask her why she took so long, we are very embarrassed that we took so long.
Since my GC process seems to be coming closer, what shall I do about my wife's? Shall I have her apply ASAP, or still wait for my GC to be approved, and maybe go through some other avenue for hers? If there is one? I am very worried now, could they deny her becuase she took so long?
We have no desire to return to our home country, we have been in the US for a long time, this is our home now.
Any similar experience, or advice would really really help, please.
Thanks
