  • Our Story
    I am a naturalized us citizen living in California. I met the love of my life in India and we got engaged very recently (aug 2019) in a small family ceremony. We met over a matrimonial website and talked for about two months ; I then travelled to India to meet her and we both really liked each other. I myself being raised in India we share common values and culture. We both had our parents meet two times to get the families comfortable with the idea of me and my fiance wanting to get married. My fiance is a divorced and has a teenaged daughter whoes full legal and physical custody is with my fiance. I am working on filing for K1 visa for my fiance and for her daughter ( eventually going to be my step daughter) . At the time of writing this info I am working on making my K1 petition accurate and complete so that I get speedy approval.

    We received the 48 Month extension letter on 9th Feb and still waiting for the next notice about Biometrics. Should I be concerned that it has been a month since the NOA1 and still not given the biomertics notice? The online status only shows the case received and NOA1 sent. I checked with ask emma live agent and they said - when the case is ready for biometrics they will send us a notice... It looks un-usual. Anyone else in the same boat?

    Bumping to see if there are any opinions /suggestions? I am trying to reach ASk Emma /call uscis but wanted to see your suggestions/recommendations. It has been a month since we received the NOA1 and we are still waiting for the biometrics notice..... I see most others getting biometrics reuse or biometrics appointment much sooner after the NOA1.

    Thanks for the input. Yes we wanted to get her school documents to show the changed name so we went ahead and did the name change. Now the question is - if the extension letter comes with the new /changed name and the expired green card shows the old name then would that pose a challenge while traveling internationally?

    Hello We are about to submit our I751 documents in a couple of weeks. I am the USC sponsor and my wife and her daughter (my stepdaughter ) are the applicants. I have a question about the dependent daughter's name change The dependent daughter turned 18 during the conditional residency period and changed her name in her home country ( India) through that home country's legal process. While filing the I751 form can we enter the daughter's changed name ? We can also attach the supporting documents that show the legal name change done in India. Her passport is still with her old name and so is her conditional green card. We would like to get the 48 month extension letter and the 10 year green card to show her new changed name. Is that possible?

    Thank you . That makes sense. Its the same date for both mother and daughter so we shall send one application with the daughter's info in there...

    The guidelines mention the day that the conditional resident status was acquired.. won't that be the the date- residence since "M/D/YY" on the green-card itself? In other words would it matter if one card was delivered via the USPS on a later date than the other if both cards have the same - residence since date. "If you have dependent children who acquired conditional resident status on the same day as you or within 90 days thereafter, then include the names and Alien Registration Numbers (A-Numbers) of these children in Part 5."
  23. Vabsmith
    I see, but the difference in the days the mother received the card vs the daughter received the card was about 80 days...

    Hello I am looking for guidance on whether to send out a separate application for the 18 yo daughter or send out one single application for the mother and the daughter. From some of the earlier posts I noticed that if the green card was received over 90 days from each other then we should send out two separate applications. In our case- both the mother ( my wife) and the daughter ( my stepdaughter) were interviewed together by the same officer on the same day and have the same issue and expiry dates on their conditional green card. BUT the physical card that the daughter received was after 95 days of the date of interview vs. her mother received her card in about a month from the date of interview. Would it still be okay to send out one single I751 application? Thanks
  25. Vabsmith
    Thanks! yes that makes sense if the I131 has be applied from within the USA. I was thinking if they can re-purpose the biometrics for the I751 and may not need another biometrics for I131... any thoughts on that..?
  26. Vabsmith
    Good point. Thanks. How about for the I-751 would be okay to send it out to while we are still abroad?

    @Lil bear@OldUser @nastra30@powerpuff and other experts.. seeking your thoughts on this great suggestion provided by @Dashinka . Would this potentially work fine? Also I believe my wife can follow the same plan- file for the I751 , then I131 and travel to USA to get her bio-metrics done.... then come back and visit USA again if and when she is called for the I751 interview? Many thanks.

    Thank you!! She will be going to the west coast/ LA but good to know about the Canada land crossings.
