Just realized my gc is expired while I am out of USA

However I agree that signing electronically and having her husband send it would be best.  Even if he forgets all the evidence, they would send an RFE

Thank you very much everyone for the quick advice!! Now I know what to do basically!

Thank you very much!!

And does anyone know if this case is applicable for SB1 visa if I failed to file ROC?

[f f 725]

I would tend to say no since your residency is not being terminated due to staying outside the us for too long but for not doing the roc correctly.

I would still think a slightly late roc would have a much better chance than a sb1.

Airlines dont let people fly after 36 weeks! Regardless of if she was in Canada or Japan, no airline would let her on a plane. 

As she only flew home a week ago, there is a possibility she could, but she would have to make a decision promptly...either file electronically immediately or try to fly home (at enormous expense, I would wager). 

 

Good luck!

How someone that pregnant got on a plane without lying about how far along they are is beyond me.  But then not everyone was a house like me either LOL

Get the form and payment in.

Doesn't matter if you have to send it next day FedEx from Japan (which is very expensive but possible), via personal hand carry courier(even more expensive),  or you sign it electronically and someone sends it for you, or someone with your permission forges your signature and sends it for you- you MUST get it in by the end of the day on the expiry date. 

Failing to do so when outside the US dramatically changes your options vs failing to do so when inside the US, so it really is imperative it is received on time.

 

 

I also sent mine from outside the US via overnight FedEx extremely close to the deadline. 

 

 

 

Forget enclosing any evidence, they will just RFE you for it- the important thing is to get it in on time, so that the notice of receipt and extension is issued, enabling you to return to the US.

 

The extension letter will have to be forwarded to you to use for travel and re-entry to the US as it is watermarked and a copy will not be acceptable.

You might try to call the US Embassy in the country where you are and see if they might be able to help you.

Ic so we will be not able to file in 2days...Even EMS will take about 3-4days to get there...
 

 

You can send DHL Express Worldwide for next-day international delivery Japan to the US, as long as it is dropped off before 17.30 local time to you. It is very expensive though, it will cost ¥10,000 but that might be preferable to being 10+ months outside the country.

Are you a Vermont or California filer?

[br9k 23]

I think in this case the best option is to send the from from within the US with "electronic signature" (i.e. scan signature on the while abroad, email the image, and in the US paste it into the form and print).

 

Since USCIS honors postmarks by US post office, a minimally filled form with an attached check could fulfill the requirements and get your "place in the processing queue".

 

Sending the form from abroad by FedEx is still subject to being held up for whatever reason, so the form might not arrive in time.

 

IMHO YMMV IANAL

An electronic signature (digital signature) is one that is signed through a computer. A printout of a scanned version that is hand-signed would be considered a photocopy. Both types are not a "wet signature", but the latter is acceptable to USCIS depending on the specific form.
