A few basic questions...

[fedekat 0]

Hello All-

I can't believe I am back putting together another huge application! Uggggg.... but I am so grateful to the folks on here for their knowledge and help. We got our K1 and 2 year green card without a hitch, let's hope this leg goes well.

Here are a few q's for the experts:

1. When we apply for the new green card, what if we don't get a new one before the old one expires? Is it true that an expired green card and an NOA is sufficient evidence of status? Can one re-enter the US with an expired green card and NOA?

2. One of our utility bills misspells my husband's name. Should we still use it as evidence? (feterico instead of federico- I just noticed!)

3. I own the apartment we live in and we don't have any shared bank account- just a shared Amex I opened in September. Should I be worried?

Thanks for all for answering my questions!

Best,

Kathleen

Hi Kathleen,

1. You need to apply within 90 days of your GC expires. Actually, they need to receive it within 90 days or they consider you abandoning your GC - so get it done quickly if you are running out of time.

2. I am not sure if it matters that much - I doubt they will be this picky and I doubt they would even notice it (it took you time to notice it). Go ahead and include it in the evidence.

3. If you have other sufficient evidence, then you don't need to worry about the apartment. Does it show him as a beneficiary?

Include all the evidence you have, health, car, life insurance, any joint accounts with both your names even if it looks insignificant.

One VJer sent a copy of their Hockey season tickets purchased for both of them so go ahead and include anything.

Also, get affidavits from neighbors, friends or family. Include pictures if you have of both of you.

Good luck
