Best evidence in my situation?

[birdyconfused 0]

Hey folks

It looks like im in a tricky situation.

My Conditional GC expire in March. Since obtaining my GC I have been living overseas (not on govt. or military duty) and visited couple of times in order to keep the GC. Now we plan to come back to US permanently and removal of conditions is a big question for us. We'll be staying with my brother in law in the beginning before I get a job.

During this period we didnt have anything jointly in our names in the US. Though we have US accounts separately but no signifcant transaction has been made in that account and we never filed any tax returns in USA.

We've been married for 4 years by the time we come back to US. We have a 2.5 yrs old son and our second baby is on the way (expected in May). We've loads of pictures together and wonderful relationship

What is the best that we can do in order to provide evidence for I-751? My GC expires by 25th march and we plan to arrive in US by the end of January. I'd highly appreciate any suggestions.

What I have in mind is that as soon as we arrive:

• Get a joint lease agreement
• Open a joint bank account and put couple of thosand pounds in it
• Get a car in our names
• Get family health insurance

Do you know any example who's been in the similar boat?

You can not visit to maintain a GC, you live here and visit elsewhere.

That wasn't the question. Question is what evidence can I prepare and present in order to remove conditions in that short span of time.

You can present evidence from your time abroad also, ie bonafide relationship evidence (joint bills etc there), and affidavit of relationship letters from friends and family who know you have a good marriage.

You cannot remove the conditions of your permanent residency, because you have abandoned it already. Seriously, do you really think USCIS would overlook your absence from the US for all this time? Do you know they have computers now?

Your only viable option now is to go the CR-1 route.

Bob! thanks for this extraordinary piece of information about computers. I am already on CR-I and I pretty much know that they would know how long I've been living abroad since becoming an LPR and I am not going to hide it anyways. I am quite positive that I can get my conditions removed if i can convince them that I intend to live in USA permanently. The question asked was, what sort of evidence I might produce in my circumstance not the judgment that I've already abandoned my permanent residency. This would be decided, I believe, by officer at PoE the next time I land into JFK. If I'd be present in the states that would mean I haven't abandoned my permanent residence.

Your stated options sounds very good. Joint lease agreement,joint accounts,car in both names , etc sounds all very convincing. If you filed taxes it should be good too.Try your best to gather as much as you can. If your spouse was with you abroad, show the flight info, some pictures taken together abroad. Just show that you were together there too. You might have no problems whatsoever.

Don't get discouraged!

You may want to consult an qualified immigration attorney to determine the best course of action as from what you have stated your residence has been principally outside the US.

Have you folks been filing US income tax returns while residing abroad? If not, you may want to get those caught up so that you can present copies in your submission.

Hi,

I am not in a similar situation, but what you need to provide is evidence that you were living together overseas.

1. You mentioned pictures - very good.

2. Child together - good (provide copy of birth certificate showing you and your spouse as the parents - ofcourse)

3. and what would be a good idea is affidavits from your family and your spouses family.

4. When you came to the US, did you travel with your USC spouse? If yes, then include itineraries and information about that together-travel.

5. You might want to write a short letter explaining the reason you were living overseas.

Items you listed after arriving in the US are important and you should include them.

you are indeed in a tricky situation, so you might want to consult with an attorney if money is not an issue. If you have been married for 4 years, then maybe an option is to file again for AOS (ask attorney) and that will allow you to obtain a 10-year GC since you marriage is longer than 2 years. This time, however, you must remain in the US to keep your status affective.

Take what I said as a "thought" and not as what should be done. Just sharing my opinion.

Good luck!!!

No one on VJ knows the circumstances why you had to be out of the US, so some of the replies are ridiculously insensitive and thoughtless.

You may want to consult an qualified immigration attorney to determine the best course of action as from what you have stated your residence has been principally outside the US.

Have you folks been filing US income tax returns while residing abroad? If not, you may want to get those caught up so that you can present copies in your submission.

Agree!

Indeed, an attorney might be a good idea.

Also, proof of bonafide while you guys lives abroad --- leases, bank statements, etc.

It is imperative you file those late tax returns, pronto.

Good luck, but prepare for a bumpy road.

First and foremost the CBP needs to let you enter the USA.... Once that happens, then your list of possible evidence only covers what appears to be a very short period of time (from re-entry to date of removal filing)... The USCIS will want to see evidence representative of the two year period of your conditional residency...

But wouldn't evidence of shared resources/domicile abroad would also count brother?

Though I agree, the chances of success are not very good

IDK... but it was not on her list.... she only indicated evidence gathered after re-entry and before filing. She certainly would be advidsed to expand her scope.... but IDK if that info will be helpful or damming to her success
