Juan Carlos GRACIAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not only was it a great new year but Leidy getting the visa in practically 2 days was the perfect birthday gift for me today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hang in there Juan Carlos...trust me ..before you know it , its like a blink of the eye...the process just goes full speed ahead!!!

Just make sure you are fully prepared!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suerte hermano!!!!!!!!!!!

OK...I need a little help and advice .......Leidy's mom is in Canada and she they have not seen eachother in almost 4 years....

1. My first question is, is it possible to apply for Advanced Parole for this situation?? If so where and how do I do it?

2. If this process doesnt go though, does anybody see it being a problem driving to Canada and just asking the immigration office there to letLeidy and her mom see eachother without either one crossing to the neighboring country??

I thought it will be interesting for those of you who are having the interview soon that I also got a visit from Domesa today for the visa delivery (to bad I wasn’t in) after my Monday interview, it took them only 2 business days!!!

Hey Byron. After you marry and appy for AOS. The application also covers AP and EAD. You should get approval in 2 months or less for those. Of course you may be lucky and receive quick AOS approval from the CSC.

Great news! Our interview is Friday the 18th, and we have reservations to leave on Friday the 25th. Can you tell me, did they deliver to a specified by you location in Bogota? Or did you pick it up at a Domesa Office? Thank you.

Byron,

Congratulations once again! I know the feeling, trust me.

When you file for AOS, you will have to pay $930 plus a biometrics fee of $80, which is a total of $1,010. The form you need to submit is the I-485, you can also send form I-131 for Advance Parole and form I-765 for EAD at the same time for no extra charge. Once they approve Leidy's I-131, she can go to Canada and visit her mom.

Here is the USCIS link you'll need http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

Hey guys. Thanks for all the congratulations. We traveled to San Gil right after we got approved on Monday for some quality Colombian vacations. Hadn't had a chance to get online until today, but as Byron and MV-JR mentioned, we also got the papers in the mail yesterday (Thursday, 2 business days after interview).

We'll be leaving for Miami next Thursday. I'll post details on the quickie interview when I get a chance.

Take it easy and congrats to the rest.

We are still waiting for our interview appointment. We faxed the package 3 response on Dec 27. We also sent it by courier the same day. DOS is givng me conflicting information. On Friday they said the DS-230 had been received and it was being reviewed. Today they said there was no record of receiving anything from us.

Bill,

I would call the Embassy directly as well this Wednesday. I actually got them to verify they recieved the fax, by doing the shortcuts, we where not ever even sent packet #3. Two days later DOS had our interview date! Good luck.

HOLA A TODOS, soy nueva en esto. Ya estoy dentro de Estados Unidos y mi visa se vencio el 29 de noviembre o sea los 90 dias y con mi novio nos casamos el 16 de noviembre... el se quedo sin empleo y ahora no tenemos como pagar lo de la residencia alguien me puede indicar si me deportarian por eso o si puedo meter los papeles a inmigracion en algunos meses? estoy insegura y con miedo gracias

[HAL 9000 96]

Saludos Rocio, que pena.

Su esposo tendrá que conseguirse empleo lo más antes posible para cubrir el costo del AOS... si nó tendrá que ponerse en contacto con USCIS para evitar que le procesen como deportable. Mucha suerte!!

Hola Rocío, ya le contesté en el tema del K1 pero Maviwaro tiene razón. Uds. deben de meter la aplicación para el Ajuste de Status lo más pronto posible porque ud. ahora está "out of status" o sea que no tiene un status legal e Inmigración la puede deportar en cualquier momento.
