Just Submitted, Green Card Expires Early October

[davewolfs 0]

Hey everyone,

I filed late, and my green card will expire the first week of October. Should I be worried about anything? What is the worst that can happen?

I appreciate any info.

As long as you go the fee amount right on the check and signed the form it should be ok. You will get the NOA1 receipt back in a couple of weeks giving you the 1 year extension.

Thanks for the info.

Quick question regarding the Affadavits. From the instructions:

Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by at least two people who have known both of you since your conditional residence was granted and have personal knowledge of your marriage and relationship. (Such persons may be required to testify before an immigration officer as to the information contained in the affidavit.) The original affidavit must be submitted and also contain the following information regarding the person making the affidavit: his or her full name and address; date and place of birth; relationship to you or your spouse, if any; and full information and complete details explaining how the person acquired his or her knowledge. Affidavits must be supported by other types of evidence listed above.

Does this just mean that I need an affadavit swarn in by someone i.e. an affadavit from my father in law, or do I need two affadavits?

Affidavits are not required unless your evidence is lacking. What did you send as proof of bonafides??

Just to reassure you, you didn't file late. You are allowed to file anytime during the 90 day window that leads up to the date your green card expires. You don't need to file on the 90th day - any time during those 90 days is fine, just as long as you file before your green card expires.

Good luck.

Bonafides will be the following:

Photos, Cards, Receipts from Trips, Invitations to Weddings etc..., Auto Loan, Utility bills, 401k beneficiary, bank account, tax return.

Do I really need anything more?

Your evidences sound good enough and it"s all upto you including affidavits or not.

I personaly included 2 sworn and notarized affidavits by my brother in law and

another one by long time neighbor/friend.. I put everything I have such as bills,apt leases for 3 years,taxes,bank accounts,plus thought that If I have a chance to

get affidavits why not including? they listed affidavits in the

evidences anyway, I see your other evidences already strong but I think including it along with everything else may only help your case. It's for sure not gonna hurt your application

But then again,this is me and my opinion,everyone has their own opinions and experiences with USCIS,just go with whatever you feel right for your case..

if you decide to include letters though, just to give you an idea, One of my letter was more official in format and other one was more casual.

one of affidavit letter by friend/neighbor started saying something like this

Name

Date of birth

place of birth

Legal status (US citizen/naturalized US citizen etc)

Address

Telephone

" I (full name ) being dully sworn under penalty of perjury,declares that fallowing statment is true and correct"

I am long time friend and neighbor of Mr. John XXX I have known him since 1993 and his wife XX- XXX for about 3 years... (and some detail of how often &where he see us as a couple, how he knws that we r very happy couple etc) .............................................

........................................................................

.......................................................................

(at the end letter finish like this)

I am willing to testify under oath,if necessary,in order to personally state these facts in person.

Full name

signature

date

like I said other letter by my brother in law was more casual,he doesnt want to include all this " under penalty of perjury thing.

hope this helps B) good luck!!!
