Visiting family at another state for 2-3 months

[hedychanoiki 0]

Hi,

I always have problems with my fingerprints. They rejected my fingerprints twice for the I485 application; it delayed my adjustment of status process last year. I need to remove my condition in early June next year, so I want to be proactive and find out what I need to do.

-I did my police clearances in August 2010 for I485 application. Can I use the same police clearances for I751? Or I have to obtain all the police clearances from each state I have lived again?

-I currently live in Louisiana. I will visit my family for 2-3 months next summer in California, can I do my fingerprints there, and let them reject my fingerprints twice there, which should be within 2-3 months? Do I need to change the address on my application? But once I change the address to California, it will be California Service Center. Or I should use California address at the first place?

-Where do I send my "original" police clearance reports to? When I file my I751, should be Vermont center or California. Do I need to let them know that I want to do my fingerprints in California related to visiting?

My email is hedychanoiki@gmail.com

Thanks.

You don't need to do police clearances for Removal of Conditions like you did for the AOS. They do want court documents and/or police statements if you have been arrested, detained, and/or convicted, but that's different. If you have a clean record, they don't need anything law-enforcement related.

Since you will [presumably] be retaining your primary residence in Louisiana during the visit, you would file with the Vermont Service Center. The instructions base that decision on "where you live". If you were moving to California you would file with the CSC, but since you will still be "living" in Louisiana during the visit to California, you would file with the VSC. If you are retaining your primary residence in Louisiana during the visit, you should NOT file a change of address with USCIS.

If you are in California when your biometrics notice arrives at your home in Louisiana (you will need someone reliable collecting your mail so they can tell you immediately[/b[ when something from USCIS arrives, and forward, fax, and/or scan and email it to you), it should, I would think, be possible to do the biometrics at a USCSIS ASC office near where you are in California - it all just goes into a national computer network anyways. You'll probably have to inquire at the local California ASC office, or make an Infopass appointment to arrange that, closer to when all of this happens.
