March 2012 AOS filers

[Strycek 7]

Thank you so much for your help

It is just very frustrating. I know eventually I will get something from them, but I feel like when?? lol

I hope you get GC soon and you do not have to deal with them for a while

Don't feel bad nene. We're still waiting too. I actually hope we don't hear anything for another week or more, so the interview doesn't get scheduled during a trip to Europe we have planned.

just got my GC from the mail!!!!!!

Congrats

if you dont mind me asking. how long have you been married? i am just trying to understand how they decide on who gets the 2 year and who gets the 10 year. i have been married 4 years and some months. do you think i qualify for the 10 year card?

I have been married for six years. If you have been married for more than two years, you get the 10-year unconditional GC. So, yes, you do absolutely qualify for the 10-year one. For a marriage less than two years, you get the 2-year conditional one, and have to file to remove conditions two years after you get the GC (the window opens three months prior to the two-year mark). Hope this helps?

Looks good to me at first view. Make sure you take all your original NoAs plus a set of photocopies of all the docs that you are carrying. I am now on my way home, so once I get there, I will run your list by my own checklist and let you know if I think you need anything else.

Thanks for your comment

I just realized your case and mine have a kinda close time line.

Are you going to have a trip to Europe? Good for you

My husband and I have never been to Europe, and we are hoping to go there after everything gets done.

Have a nice trip!

My country does not allow dual citizenship but has something called Overseas Citizenship which lets you live and work there, but then takes away your voting rights. I am kind of torn, because I would not want to live in a country if I cannot participate in its democratic process, so giving up voting rights for my home country is not something I am ready to do as yet. So, yes, naturalization is something I am thinking about but have three years (minus three months) to come to a clear-eyed decision. Hoping I will catch up with all you guys once again there, when the window opens.

Thank you for sharing your opinion with us

I also do not have a clear mind about being a citizen yet since I cannot have dual citizenship.

I kinda wanna leave a wider option for our future.

Haha, no you will not go to the NBC-- your hardcopy interview letter will have the place and address of where you will attend your interview and it will be at your local USCIS Field Office.
