I need help if any one can. Any info is appreciated. It's almost time to remove the conditions on my stepsons resident card. The problem is that I applied for residency for both my wife and stepson. When it came time for the interview my wife admitted to using drugs in the past... so they made her wait 3 years before she can go back for another interview. But they approved her son. He has not been living here with me, he visits though. So i am wondering if anyone has been through this process and am i going to have problems removing his conditions? Do I just file and hope they understand the situation or is there a different process I should try? My wife still won't be able to go back to the consulate untill Feb. 2012.

Given the circumstances you outlined, I don't see how your stepson, if he lives in Mexico, can remove conditions of his residency.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

So are you saying that I can't do anything becuase he is not living over here? Why would the consulate do that if they didn't give his mother a green card. It wouldn't be right for me to take her only child away from her.

Life is all about choices. The plan was to give both, mother and son, a Green Card, but due to the mother's drug use, that didn't happen. I don't think the US Government can be blamed for this and I don't think the son should have been punished for his mother's actions either. The US Government could not possible foresee if he wouldn't want to move to the US nonetheless. He chose not to take advantage of his Green Card but stay in Mexico instead. Also not the US Government's fault.

If mother and son want to stay together, just file again for both once the mother is eligible for an immigrant visa again. Not much harm done, given that Removal of Conditions cost $585.00 anyway.

It sates in the instructions for filing the i-751, If you are a child filing separately from your parent submit a full explanation as to why you are filing separately, along with copies of any supporting documentation. Do you think if I filed with an explanation and included the forms that the consulate gave to my wife that it would be enough or would they want more? Considering this is intended for spouses and the evidence that they want.
