ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed

October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

It's horrible. How will they (or anyone who's barred from the US) support themselves...The U.S is their home and they have every right to come back. This is disgusting.

That's crazy. I thought the ban was only for people on visas, didn't realize it also extend to green card holders. Are we sure about that or is this just some CBP interpreting one of the new rules wrong?

It does unfortunately apply to green card holders. It's for all aliens, and LPR's are considered aliens as well. It's ridiculous, considering these people live here. Work, family, home... I don't know how they're expected to support themselves when they're stuck abroad... Not every LPR has somewhere to go to...

Upon speaking to a Trump-supporting relative just now, the GC holders finding themselves barred from their own homes will be fine because "bad things happened to me in my life too and everything worked out".

 

I don't know that she's ever had the government suddenly make her homeless, but ok.

Wow, solidarity and sympathy...qualities we shouldn't loose over the years :( I am sure she didn't went on vacations and a flight attendant stopped her on her way back home saying that she couldn't travel to the US... :(

Quote

That means that a longtime U.S. resident who had left the country to go on vacation or visit family would not be able to get back to their home. It also means that hundreds of thousands of residents are effectively trapped in the U.S. for at least three months.

Arthur would not say what Air Canada is telling people who are citizens of both Canada and one of the affected countries — for example, Iranian-Canadians — or who are sole Canadian citizens but whose passport identifies their place of birth as one of the countries.

Lorne Waldman, a top Canadian immigration lawyer, said he reads the order to ban dual citizens and possibly to ban Canadians born in the countries. He cautioned that he is not an expert in American law, but he advised anyone from one of the countries to contact a U.S. immigration lawyer before proceeding with a planned trip.

The Canadian Embassy in Washington said it would try to provide clarity by the end of the day.

I'm glad to see that people and lawyers are ALREADY preparing law suits. Keep it up!

 

You know what's the worst thing? The fear.

You read that the ban only affects Muslim countries. But... how can we even be sure? I'm a green card holder, I was planning to go to Poland in about a month (first trip in almost 3 years) but now I'm scared.

I'm hoping all the people on here insisting we had nothing to worry about since Trump was only going to go after "illegals" are finally starting to see the truth.

This is scary.

This is not what America is about.
