Ik zit met een ei en ik moet het kwijt.

Heel die immigratierommel is voor mij vlot verlopen maar nu dat de finish in zicht is beginnen ze ineens moeilijk te doen. Na twee jaar was het dus tijd om een aanvraag "removal of conditions" aan te vragen.. zo gezegd zo gedaan, formulierke, een pak geld en ne hoop papperassen opgestuurd ... vingerafdrukken en een nieuw fotooke laten nemen, alles vlotjes en geen vuiltje aan de lucht... OK dus ikke relaxed wachten op mijn nieuwe green card...no problemo want ik heb een automatische verlenging van een jaar gekregen...

En nu krijg ik ineens een "request for evidence" aan mijn been gelapt, gaan ze wat met mijn Belgische voeten rammelen...

Wat willen die sjarels nu nog? Ze hebben massa's documenten in mijn dossier... gezamelijke bankrekening, autoverzekering, ziekte- en levensverzekering via mijn werk met mijn vrouw als begunstigde etc etc...

Ze zouden wel eens meer specifiek mogen zijn omtrent hetgeen dat zenog willen zien zenne...

Sorry zenne, maar het moest eruit :blush:

hello,

we just started the proces. nice to see there are more belgians :)

does it cause problems to keep your domicilation in belgium? can you also keep you social security there then (at least for a while??)? and if you dont register your marriage in belgium does that mean you stay officially single (just coming out of university that would mean my parents keep their child support for another 9 months)

Hi everyone,

Just found this Belgian thread and thought i'd say hi.

We have applied for a K-3 and are now waiting for the first step to be completed at USCIS level.

For those of you that already went through the Consulate: how was this? Does the interview take long? Are they very strict?

groetjes

Cat

2 years later, i still have to register at the Consulate in L.A. ! I'm just so annoyed by all their requests for "notarized" copies, "certified" copy of marriage licence.. I'll have to go to City Hall for this, take some time off work...

But hey, we all have so many days of vacation here in this country, i can afford a few hours.. :no::lol:
