My spouse will be up to remove conditions on the GC in december, I have a question regarding as to whether they need a letter of employment as they needed one for the AOS petition? Here is the scenerio: My spouse is working for an American corporation both in Alaska and Mexico. We are in Alaska 5 months a year and Mexico 5 months per year with vacation time happening in between. The job can literally be seen as 2 contracts of employment with temporary transfer to Mexico and a guarantee for return to Alaska, or it can be written as a temporary seasonal job Alaska ONLY.

What or how do you recommend this letter be written? What information should the letter contain? I am also working for the same company, but in Alaska only, and only seasonally. Also should these letters include the salary + commission totals, etc? We also have a written contract of employment to submit as evidence for the 5 month Alaska period. Our permanent address is in another state where all of our stuff is and all of our bills and insurance and things go, so that is the permanent address for all things legal.

My concern is could the time outside of the country be determined as abandonment of residence when we have intention to return? Sidenote: we have filed joint income taxes on all worldwide income over the last couple of years and we have continued bank accounts and other paper trial of our lives for the complete year's and have never been out of the country for more than 5 months per year. My only concern with the evidence is the employment situation. In regards to this situation do you think we should hire an immigration attorney to file the removal or can we handle it alone? Thanks to all!

I recommend printing off a copy of I-751 and the Instructions and read it a couple of times, then carry out what they ask for, Removal of Conditions is about Both of you proving that you have a stable and commited marriage, that you both live at the same address and co-mingle finances. USCIS are not interested in employment.

Just follow the instructions and you will be fine.

I am a huge fan of cover letters. In few words tell the I.O. who you guys are, what you do, where you live, followed by a list of the documents you submit. Don't write an essay, as all of this has to fit on a single page. I.O.s have a big work load and a short attention span. Make their life easy and it will pay back to you.

I do not anticipate any problems for you.

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.
