Hi CK&Tydi,

Tks for the reminder. However we stick our plan already. Just like poppscc, Mike & I will celebrate our Church wedding in Vietnam before flying to US. If everything is blessed by our Jesus, we will be in the States around October or something.

Unbelievable, the fee is sharply going so high. Why don't they wait for us to come to the States and then increase the fee? Just kidding!

Thank you so much CK&Tydi.

With Lots of love

Hi Hang&Kevin,

You can see my whole interview in my blog for your attention. Here it is: http://my.opera.com/Lan_Mike/blog/interview-successful

Hope you get your interview day soon.

Lan&Mike

Lan, congratulation on your interview. Try to get to the State quick...... and tell Mike to submit for a green card application for you quicckkkkkkkkkkkkkk. After July 30, 2007, the fee will increase from $395 to $1010.

quick question:

can my fiance apply for her greencard before arriving to america? We will have a traditional wedding in vietnam in September.

The answer is NO, you can not apply for a greencard until you are physically and legally enter the US. At least one document the DHS will require: I-94 with POE stamp. You can not get that information until you actually arrive and go throu US-CBP

The increase in the fee from $395 to $1010: need to understand it hasn't been increased for years and now the fee will include other services, not just for the Green Card Application. So, it works out quite nicely!

Chuck,

What i meant was if they can make it here before july 30, then they can apply for Green Card.

The fee not increase just in the INS portion alone. DMV of California will also enforce new law at July 1, for many other thing too
