June 2012 I-130 Filers?

[Sonjat 29]

They received 4th June ,its almost 8 working days completed last friday. My hubby dnt like to call NVC any more, he said let it happen whatever,i dnt like to call them,NVC people are so rude to answer my question.

, so i cant ask him to call NVC.

In some ways I agree, calling doesn't speed up anything. I don't really see it making a difference.

But it helps when their is a checklist issued, giving us a little advance notice.

And of course we feel by calling that we have done something.

I kept my question really short. "Please check if my 230 is in your computer", when they actually told me YES, I asked if I had a checklist, which I did. This way I could quickly take care of it.

Your anxious. Try to relax. There isn't real anything you can do. The time comes when you receive an email with your appointment.

Hi we're just about to file this july 2013, any tips and idea? And to make it fast? Shall we need to get an attorney? Thanks

An attorney will not make anything go faster, but a reputable attorney will assure a-z process get done correctly and avoid RFE which cause delay and time.

I went through this process before 7 years ago, there's alot of forms, fees and process behind the scene that you need to go through before receiving pernament 10 years GC. If you don't know the process or which form to start out with call USCIS is your best option.

[Readerchoice 6]

Okay...than we have different opinion on this one.

My opinion is that the GC is conditional for 2 years (to proof that the marriage is bona fide)

People who divorce before 2 years lose their right to the GC (unless they can proof hardship (like abuse) in marriage and file for U5 visa...

Parents of US citizen receive unconditional GC. But this is solely my opinion.

Sonjat is correct!.

Anyone going through IR-1, K-1, I-129F ..........will have 2 interview total. First one is the spouse (beneficiary) will be held at your country, second one will be here in US and this time both will need to be there. If your interview is approve, you are done and free willy from this point on. Neto you'll need to read others post carefully to avoid confusion.

That's right! and if a couple still married after 3yrs, LPR holder can apply form N-400 to become USC, counting from the date you received your temporary GC. Now if they get divorce after 3 years meaning he/she have 10 GC on hand, an LPR will have to wait 5 years before applying for his/her USC. If a couple divorce before 2 years, beneficiary will need to prove abuse or other legit statement to CO during interview to be eligible for 10 year GC otherwise i'm sorry she/he need to go back.

I saw this wierd couple at the time of my interview where a guy (must be usc, because he keep saying to his spouse good luck on your 10 GC) were with a new girlfriend and I assume ex-wife where with an attorney, CO interview them both seperately, not sure what the outcome were but she ( beneficiary ) and her attorney seem to be very happy when they came out.

7.1)...Please explain "Conditional Permanent Residency"?

A.. A two year Conditional Residency is granted to those who apply for Adjustment of Status based on marriage to a US Citizen. This two year period helps to deter visa fraud and marriages of convenience. During the "conditional" period, you still have all the rights of a Permanent Resident. Your status as a permanent resident expires at the end of this two year period unless you file for lifting of the conditional status.

7.2)..When do I become a Permanent Resident (conditional status removed)?

A..You become a permanent resident (conditional status removed) after approval of the I-751 "Petition to Remove the Conditions on Residence".

7.3) ..Okay, when do I file the I-751 to lift conditional status?

A..Option #1: If your passport is stamped with the I-551 at the adjustment of status interview, the stamp has the AOS approval date written on it. Your 2 year conditional period begins with that date. Ninety (90) days prior to the end of the conditional period, you and your US Citizen spouse will apply together for a removal of the "conditional" status by filing form I-751 together as a married couple.

Option #2: As is more likley the case now, the I-551 stamps are not automatically given at the conclusion of an AOS interview now due to namechecks and files moving around. Green Cards are routinely mailed to the beneficiaries within 4 weeks (if approved) or delayed by months due to name checks pending. The accurate date of your PR is printed on the front of the GC as 'Resident Since:".

Parent will automatically received permanent GC no question ask once they put a foot on US soil, unless one didn't pay the $165 fee . She/he will have to wait for 5yrs counting on the date of receiving his/her GC before applying for his/her USC there is no way out of this one.

The people I responded to only questioned what the route is. I seen on their timeline K-3 . It just wasn't necessary....

I hope Neto123 disregards all that. I just like for her to get through this still intact.

Well...he unsubscribed and made his exit. This is an emotional journey for many of us...no need for anger and disrespect.

Thank you for posting all the information. Nice to know I read and comprehend some of it.

People in good marriage don't even have to worry about interview stuff after 2 years.

Its rough. I think my first husband took care of all my paperwork back then through the Army. I don't recall much. I already had kids. My second husband gave me hell. I already had the unconditional. But he just wasn't nice. It can become a really tough life for some.

Some don't understand that when children are involved its even harder. Just because you have a baby doesn't mean you get to stay. Neither do you get to take your child with you.

Yes i will be but i never be so rude MIL , i call NVC just now,i ask about DS 230 the guy who answered said its in system,when i ask is there any checklist for DS 230,he replied like there is no checklist its fine ,(like DS 230 is set), and he said something "we are waiting for petitioner approval or something" its not very clear.

Will they ask any approval for DS 230 from petitioner?

then i ask about i 864 checklist process,he said you have to wait 20 working days from the day you send.

This is good news. DS230 done. I'm sure he meant petioners 864 to be approved. I'm sure this runs through next week.

Soon you have your own life back and your home to care for.
