Hi all,

My Wife and I are starting the process of applying for a IR-1 visa for me to move to the USA.

I'm Irish and we've been married for just over 3 years and expecting our first child November :-)

My Wife (US Citizen) is living with me in Ireland so we will be doing a DCF in Dublin.

I previously held a Green Card which I got in 1995 through the "Diversity Visa Lottery Program"

I lived in the US for 6 years and returned to Ireland in 2001. Last year when I was visiting with my wife the US to visit her family I got stopped by immigration and was asked about my Green Card and where it physically was! I said it was probably some where at my parents house but that it had expired in 2005!. They made me fill out a form to formally give up my Green Card and gave it to me. I'm looking for this at the moment but haven't been able to find it so I'm not sure what it was!

Questions!

1)Is the fact that I previously held a Green Card and gave it up have any effect now?

2)Do I need a copy of the form I filled in?

2)When filling out the I130 it asks for both (9)Social Security Number and (10) Alien Registration Number.

Should I give my old SS number and Green card number?

4)Question (16) "Has your relative ever been under immigration proceedings?" how do I answer this? Was giving up my green card a "Rescission"?

5)Does the copies of documentation we will be including (Passports, birth-certs etc.)have to be notarized?

Hopefully someone will know the answers to these!

Thanks in advance,

Paul and Jen.

NO

2)Do I need a copy of the form I filled in?

It will be useful. When my wife surrendered her previous GC, now she has I-407 copy.

2)When filling out the I130 it asks for both (9)Social Security Number and (10) Alien Registration Number.

Should I give my old SS number and Green card number?

We provided both while filling this time. SSN will never change once assigned. So, you need to use the same SSN.

4)Question (16) "Has your relative ever been under immigration proceedings?" how do I answer this? Was giving up my green card a "Rescission"?

We filled NO.

5)Does the copies of documentation we will be including (Passports, birth-certs etc.)have to be notarized?

NO

Hopefully someone will know the answers to these!

Thanks in advance,

Paul and Jen.
