QUOTE(Ara4 @ May 6 2008, 08:57 AM) *

I submitted my I-751 on April 19, 2007.

I see you hadn't been added and I noticed looking back that you just had your biometrics less than three weeks ago. That's very curious, I wonder how that figured in to the timing of your approval

That makes me curious also. Is that your fist time doing biometrics or not?

Now...a previous poster commented about exorbitant costs and how many other developed countries process immigrants at little or no cost. Well thats just grand! But the real question is, why isn't the U.S. citizen spouse emigrating to the foreign spouse's country? Seems like it would be easier and lot less stressful given that the developed country's is so immigration-friendly, no? The fact is that your spouses all wanted to come here to live and not the other way around. I think that says a lot about the good ol' U.S.A. Yes, things take longer, but here in the States we run a lot more security checks on any prospective immigrant (and rightly so) than any other country.

No. It doesn't. But it certainly says a lot about you.

Krikit has spoken. And wisely so.

I agree with Krikit. My spouse only came here because I was in school and couldn't go there at the time. Now that I'm out of school we're planning to go somewhere else, either back to his country or somewhere else that is neutral to both of us where my new degrees and job experience will get us a job, and he can finish his degree without having to start over like he would here.

I haven't been here in a long time but now concerned enough to seek help from everyone. Like others we received email notice that our I751 application (notice date 5/15/07)was transfered from TSC to VSC on 04/02/08. My wife worries that her card expires on 05/20/08 for employment and travel. What can we do to get extended? Anyone have info to help with these concerns?

You make an INFOPASS appointment with your local district office and get a stamp (known as the I-551 stamp) in her passport, which extends the validity of the extension letter.

I'd like to remind you that Texans have the right to fly our state flag at the same height as the US Flag (condition for entering the Union) so its quite clear to me that under USCIS policy, not all resdients have the same rights.

That's not quite right. Texas is in no way "special" when it comes to flying its flag. If you don't believe me, that's fine.

However, you might believe what Snopes has to say about it instead. They cite their sources and reference the Federal flag code as well as the Texas flag code.

Oh and just so you know... I have nothing against Texas. I am a Texan and I've lived here my whole life. I just dislike incorrect information being passed off as fact. ;)

Now...a previous poster commented about exorbitant costs and how many other developed countries process immigrants at little or no cost. Well thats just grand! But the real question is, why isn't the U.S. citizen spouse emigrating to the foreign spouse's country? Seems like it would be easier and lot less stressful given that the developed country's is so immigration-friendly, no? The fact is that your spouses all wanted to come here to live and not the other way around. I think that says a lot about the good ol' U.S.A. Yes, things take longer, but here in the States we run a lot more security checks on any prospective immigrant (and rightly so) than any other country. Personally, I didn't enjoy dealing with the bureaucracy of petitioning to get my wife here but I'm all for it if it means avoiding another 9/11.

1). Being British, they have security checks there, but who carried out the 7/7 London bombings? Yeah, British born Citizens. Who carried out the Oklahoma bombing? Yeah, a US born citizen. Also, FBI checks take a couple of months at best, so how are USCIS avoiding another 9/11 by letting our petitions sit in a dusty room for the other 12 months? Maybe if the FBI didn't have to do this second check on us in 2 years, they may have more spare time to find the next 9/11...

2). How many US citizens move to their spouse's home country? Any figures? Of course not. Just because the 'foreigners' on this site came here doesn't necessarily mean it was because of the US. No, we came here to be with the person we want to spend our lives with. Maybe your wife chose the place over the person, but I can pretty much guarantee we didn't. If my wife was from Outer Mongolia, I'd have moved there if she wanted me to. Moron.

3). Would you have moved to your wife's home country if she wanted you to? Doubt it.

4). Are you Lou Dobbs?

Getting back on topic here . . . I'm filling in the card receipt dates for the people who've been approved but haven't reported back (presuming seven days after approval) Why? Because I'm a guy who likes to live on the edge. I've appended asterisks so no one gets too offended.
